Chapter 32: Caught

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This is nuts," said Melody to herself. She was back in her room, on her bed, laying on her back, and thinking. Carol, her sister, was attacked by those glowing fish according to Ronjad and changed somehow from her observations of Carol. Carol hasn't been cheerful lately like she as was is. What was going on?

"I need to know what is going on here," said Melody to herself, "This is crazy. I must find out what is going on around here." Then she got it!

Melody jumped off her bed and had a prefect idea. She would just she what was going on, she would find out the info from Ash and she knew how to do it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What a hard day and I miss Pikachu," said Ash grumbling and making his way towards the motel, "But it for his own good, I can't let Pikachu get hurt anymore like the other poor people." He was thinking about Pikachu and how he sent him to Prof. Oak for his own safety. It was a hard choice, but he knew he had to do it.

Ash walked into his room, and he then noticed something. He then saw Melody wearing a red dress and a lot of big candles lit. There were a bunch of roses circling his bed.

"What is this?" said Ash shocked looking his room.

"You know what it is," said Melody smiling.

In the jail, Riche is going over his work Ronjad gave him on the orange fish. A small desk light gave him only a small bit on light as he recorded the work to computer or wrote other things.

"That a-hole is full of shit," said Riche mumbling hard, "That nerve of that bastard giving me all this work."

"But you do deserve all this hard work," said Lovrina overhearing him talking, "You did leak all that information on the web of what we do."

"I could hardly care anymore," said Riche, "This completely hard work."

"I could tell him what you been saying about him," said Lovrina, "Then he'll drop even more hard work on you, making your life even more full of crap and shit."

"Fine," said Riche, "I'll keep working, but it not like this group as suffered enough in the past few months."

"What do you mean by that?" said Lovrina, "What do you mean?"

"I mean," said Riche, "Domino and James has disappeared or have been killed, do to newly collected info we may have even more infecteds loose in who knows, and Melody and Misty are know asking even more questions about what we do. Sooner or later, this thing is going to be blown out of the water."

"But until then," said Lovrina, "No one must know, and we have to keep lying to them to keep this organization safe. If other people found out, it would cause chaos, and that's the last thing we need."

"I get if now," said Riche, "But it would be nice to tell Misty what's happening to her and others, but now that I think about it, the little she knows, it won't hurt her."

"Good that you understand," said Lovrina, "Last thing we need is even more leaks."

Over at the Internet Café, Ronjad is trying to hack into Riche's profile to delete his information he has been showing or telling on his bog in his webpage.

"This is hard," said Ronjad, "It would have been easier to just get his password from him and delete the files easier, but no, I had to do it the old fashion way."

"If it was only that simple," said a voice. Ronjad turned around, it was Li.

"Follow me," he said. He then led Ronjad out of the café, down a path, into the junkyard, up to an old camper, and inside.

"So," said Ronjad looking around the old camper, "This is home base for you now?"

"Just temporary," said Li, "Until the heat turns off."

"Where's Meilin?" said Ronjad looking around the room.

"I rather not tell," said Li sighing, "Anyways, have you seen the helicopter remains?"

"How you know about that?' said Ronjad.

"I saw you," said Li, "I believe what destroyed it was another thing you are after."

"What would that be then?" said Ronjad looking at him hard.

"The aliens and aliens' signal," said Li, "I believe that the aliens' released the signal while the helicopter was passing by, it corrupt the pilots, and caused them to crash into the sea."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

May and Blusix are walking along the beach while Li and Ronjad talk. Both of May and Blusix are talking about the helicopter and the army's involvement.

"Why would they cover it up?" said May, "What the big secret?"

"Maybe they know about the aliens and orange fish," said Blusix, "And they think that those things may have destroyed the helicopter, but that's just a guess."

"I just wish I knew," said May, "Everything is going crazy. What's going on? This isn't the greatest trip I ever took."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ronjad walked back to the motel after the meeting with Li. But the biggest question that came to his mind is Meilin alive? He couldn't be sure, but he just hoped she was fine.

All of a sudden, Ash came running out of his room and to Ronjad before he could enter his room. Ash had lipstick marks on his face, his hair was even more messed up, and he looked freaked.

"You ok?" said Ronjad to Ash, "You look a bit pale, and shocked. Wait a minute… What you do?"

"Melody was in my room…" said Ash in shaky voice.

"Yeah…" said Ronjad issuing him to continue.

"Then during part of the "thing"," said Ash, "I told her everything."

"About…" said Ronjad eyeing him hard.

"The aliens," said Ash, "The electric creatures, orange fish, what we think about Carol, what really happened aboard the boat, and what been going on."

"YOU WHAT!" shouted Ronjad, "See! This is why we shouldn't get to close to anyone outside of this group! They trick the member into telling!"

"What!" shouted Ash, "You want me to dump Melody?" He was enraged.

"NO!" shouted Ronjad, "I guess… now that she knows, we should make her a member. Can't have many outsiders know about this group."

"But," said Ash, "I didn't tell her everything. Do you think she can handle the truth to what's been happening around here?"

"I can't be sure," said Ronjad, "But you got yourself into this situation. Now, you got to get yourself out of it."

"Are you sure?" said Ash.

"I'm sure," said Ronjad, "It's your fault to falling into temptation from her."

"Ok," said Ash, "Here goes nothing."

Ronjad watched him head off to tell Melody to join the group. They didn't need another slip up, but soon, another member be join. This time, because they have no choice.
