Chapter three- Jake
Come Friday, Tobias had stopped talking. I suppose the shock had returned once more. I didn't blame him, of course; he'd had it rough down there the first time. But I could tell that Rachel was worrying. Actually, at that point, I think even Marco could have realized it. Then again, Rachel worrying is generally an angry rant. So, yeah, Marco would probably realize it.
We flew over the community center, Rachel and Ax in the lead (though they were far apart, they were roughly at the same distance from the center.)
Rachel was getting annoying. >And it's not just the project itself; it's their audacity that annoys me! They should have remembered what I did last—>
>Rachel's worried about Tobias again, isn't she?> Marco asked privately.
Had I been human, I would have rolled my eyes. >Yep.>
>—so if they think there's going to be any mercy, ooh, they've got another thing coming!> Rachel finished, beginning her descent.
Within about five minutes we had all demorphed and remorphed flies (some faster than others,) and latched on to several human-controllers. They carried us to the Gleet Biofilter, where we hopped off and waited (Ax had demorphed, ready to disable the filter with his tail as soon as needed.)
Two human-controllers (teenagers,) walked into the filter. Several FWAPPs later, Ax had knocked out the controllers and disabled the Biofilter, allowing us to get through easily.
Even with fly eyes we could tell that the entire place had been revamped since we had last been in there. There were (instead of the glass box, AMR, and several doors,) at least tencomputer consoles, a glass window looking down at the Yeerk pool, the same doors (plus two,) and a mini-Starbucks.
>What? The Yeerks have taken over Starbucks!> Tobias gasped, trying to lighten the mood.
>Alas, Ax, there is no morecoffee freefrom the Yeerks!> Marco said with mock drama.
>Arrogant Yeerks taking over the human's taste sensations…> Ax muttered, demorphing once more.
>Okay…> Cassie said.
>Hey, Ax? Take out the guy who just farted first, >Marco commented.
>Let's get the job done, folks…> I said. >Ax? Go.>
