Chapter 3
(From The Time Traveler)
(A/N: Here it is, Chapter 3 of "You Are What You Drink")
Beverly Hills Mall- 11:43 P.M.
Mat, Sam, Jason and Britney arrived at the mall. Sometime after they parked they walked towards it. As they walked Jason asked, "So, any idea of what we are going to do?"
"Simple," said Sam.
"Brittney will keep the staff busy while the rest off us scope out the area behind the counter."
"You make it sound so easy," said Jason.
"Trust me," said Mat.
"When Sam comes up with an idea it works."
A few minutes later, the group arrived at the Groovie Smoothie Shack.
Once there Britney went into action and started talking to the cashier.
"Excuse me," she said.
"Could you help me with something?"
"Sure Miss," responded the cashier.
And, as Sam planned, Mat, Sam & Jason snuck past them and into the employees area.
Once there, the team began investigating. Sam and Mat began looking at the containers containing the flavor Alex and Clover drank. Mat looked over the labels on the containers, Sam took a sample from the contaners, including the others that Clover and Alex did not drink. She quickly analyzed the samples on her X-Powder.
"Hmm," she said.
"According to the analysis, there are anomolies in the smoothies."
"Also," added Mat.
"The labels on the containers don't show any signs of any suspicious deliveries."
"So if the smoothies weren't tainted with before they arrived," pondered Sam.
"nor were they given that addictive sometime after they arrived then that means one thing. . ."
"Precisely!" said Jason, who was near one of the secuirity cameras. He had it hooked up to his PDA.
"It means that the culprit added whatever that stuff was when Alex and Clover ordered the smoothies. But the question is 'who'?"
With that an image popped up in his PDA. Sam and Mat raced towards him. The image on the PDA showed someone disguised as an employee. The scene that unfolded showed one of the employees setting the smoothies the team had ordered just on the counter to picked up. The guy quickly went near the smoothies and took out an eyedropper from his uniform. The fake employee then applied the substance to Clover and Alex's smoothies, but before he could get to the others, they were taken out of his reach. He gave a angry grimace before Jason stopped the image.
"Look familiar to you?" he asked.
"Sorta," said Sam.
"But I am not sure, I am going to contact Jerry to check up on this."
"Sounds good to me," said Jason, closing his PDA.
Sam opened her X-Powder and a hologram of Jerry appeared in it.
"How's the mission going?" he asked.
"So far we learned whoever added that substance didn't add it until Clover and Alex ordered it," said Sam.
"Hmm, very clever, a devious way to cover the trail."
"My thoughts exactly," said Mat.
Then pointing to Jason he added, "And Jason here managed to extract an image of the person do that."
"Very good," said Jerry.
"Jason, can you send me the image?"
Jason was already done before Jerry asked.
"Done and done," said Jason as he once again closed his PDA.
"Thank you, we'll let you know if we discover who this person is, and speaking of discoveries," said Jerry.
"It turns out that the substance in that smoothie was a mind controlling agent that amplifies a persons I.D."
"I.D.?" asked Mat.
"It's the part of our mind that is the most primitive and were most of our evil thoughts come from," explained Sam.
"Precisely," said Jason.
"Well our lab team is working on an antidote now, but it will take time," said Jerry.
"Roger that," said Sam.
"But we need to find Alex and Clover before they cause more trouble."
"Glad you mentioned that Sam," said Jerry.
"I have been tracking them since you arrived at WOOHP. And I have managed to track them to. . ."
Jerry got cut off when someone yelled, "HEY! YOU THREE ARE NOT ALLOWED BACK HERE!"
"That's our cue to sprint out of here," said Jason.
"You said it," said Mat.
With that the three ran out of the shack, of course making sure they grabbed Britney on the way out.

"Geez was that ever close!" I said, clutching my chest.
"You can say that again, Mathew," Sam said.
"Guys," Britney spoke up, while fixing her hair.
"Next time you swipe me, try not to make it so violently! At least it was reasonable this time since you were in some kind of rush!"
"Sorry about that," Jason spoke up.
"Forget it, Jason," Britney said, shrugging it off.
"So, now what do we do?" I asked.
