Blu heard two men talking.
He crawled a dozen metres or so through a tight ventilation hall and then saw a cage at the bottom, which led to the room where the table was.
"We got injections there" thought Blu, reminding him how he and Jewel got some kind of injection, so far he could not understand what the injection was for. There were two men standing next to the table. One of them was wearing a suit and carefully styled hair, the other one had short, dishevelled hair, and a white apron. Blu set about and focused on the conversation.
"Mr. James I have bad news" said the boy in the apron.
"Is this what we talked about right at the beginning?" James thoughtfully answered.
"Unfortunately, at this point in time, everything seems to indicate that it is," said the boy. He bent his head down.
James drove his hand deliably over his short bush, then suddenly hit his fist on the desk. He struck so hard that the dishes on the desk jumped and Blu closed his eyes.
"But yakto, you said it should work! So much money... ...and all for nothing?!" James yelled. The boy's head was still bent down, and after a while, he modestly raised his eyes.
"Well... We can keep an eye on the situation for days to come, but I don't think the situation will change...why do you want to clone these birds at all?" asked the boy.
"Oh boy, it's nothing personal, it's just business" started James walking around the room, circling around.
"But how did... To clone..." said quietly to himself Blu barely speaking these words out of stunning.
"You see, these aryas are probably the last fashionable aryas in the world. If they could be cloned, there would be two big advantages".
"What?" asked the boy interrupting.
"First of all, I would get a lot of money for selling these birds, secondly, I would be hailed as the inventor of all time!" said the man enthusiastically.
"and me?" the boy in the apron asked with a little nervousness.
"you too, you too...but what if the plan fails" said the disappointed man. They both remained silent for a while looking at the clean, shiny floor.
"If the plan didn't work out... So what happens to me and Jewel now? Will they let us go? I don't think so..." Blu thought for a moment, until people started talking again.
"So we can keep watching them..."
"No, there is no time. It is too expensive to keep this aviary and the results may not change, you have to move on to plan B." James replied.
"Plan B?" asked the boy.
"Yes. I'll have to take the birds out, I'll have to sell them and as soon as possible... Maybe tomorrow" answered James.
"You have to pack them up and go to the airport, you'll get more precise instructions on the way to the airport," the man concluded.
"I don't know if it is..." the boy wanted to express his opinion, but he immediately shut up when he saw James take out the gun and aim at him.
"You better not play games with me, believe me. I want you to pack it up and take it back, you understand?" said James. The boy nodded his head after swallowing his saliva.
"Well, then we have an appointment," James said, and then he left the room. Blu was stunned. In a few moments he got the information that literally shook him up, he realised the situation only after a few good minutes.
"Sold... To whom, again?" thought the stunned Blu. He must have reacted quickly.
"We must get out of here..." ...thought Blu. He turned around quickly, and then he started coming down the shaft quickly. Every second of the time was important.
Meanwhile, Tulio, Linda and Fernando were at the home of a man who had not even introduced himself.
"Who are you?" asked Linda.
"My name is Jim, I am an agent for illegal animal sales. There was no difficulty in tracing your location, Lindo Ganderson said Jim. Linda was surprised that he knew her details. She doesn't remember ever meeting him, she was sure about it.
"How do you know my name? We don't even know each other," she asked.
"you probably have the last arena modra, I'm here to help you bounce her back," Jim said.
"Do you know where they are?" asked Tulio.
"Right, the female is there too" answered Jim.
"How do you know..."
"We have agents on every continent, don't you think we've been to your Tulio monteiro clinic?" asked Jim sarcastically.
"I don't know..." ...said Tulio. Jim laughed.
"Back to the subject. I know where they are, but we have to be vigilant because they will probably not be there tomorrow, so we have to be prepared for literally every moment," said Jim.
"If you know where they are, let's go and get them!" said Linda hoping.
"We can't. The birds belong to Mr James at the moment, and he has a lot of bodyguards. We can't even get close to them," said the man.
"If the birds are bought illegally, you just call the police..." said Tulio. Jim laughed for a short while.
"Then you wouldn't be here. Do you think that a billionaire would buy from any salesman who can't hide himself? He bought these birds from professionals, they have documents so made that no one can confirm that they are false," the man replied.
"So what do we have to do?" Fernando joined the conversation.
"The plan is this. When the car from Mr. James' residence leaves the garage, we follow them. When they stop at the airport, I assume, we'll catch up with them and get the birds. This will be our only chance when they run away, I doubt there is anything else we can do," Jim said of his plan.
"Sounds like... Quite simply, not too complicated," said Tulio.
"We can only wait until they leave home," Jim said.
"How will we know that when they leave? " asked Linda.
"My colleague will inform us about it, we are in constant contact," Jim replied.
"In the meantime," said James as he walked up the glass staircase, which reflected light rays quite strongly.
"Make yourselves comfortable," said Jim, and then he disappeared upstairs entering through a wide open glass door. Linda, Fernando and Tulio stayed on the ground floor.
Linda felt fear and hope in her heart again. Jim's words reassured her and above all the hope that she would be able to hug her little Blu and everything would return to normal. But she was afraid that Blu would be taken away again, this time forever. She reached into her pocket, she felt that there was something in it. She pulled out a small photo, showing little Blu. Tears fell into her big, intelligent eyes.
