Another chapter as promised.

It is so hard writing a chapter everyday.

Takes me at least 3 hours or more.

I still don't have a solid ending so I am going along with it chapter by chapter like you guys.

Anyway enjoy! :3

Act 6: Wolves Hunt In Packs

I heard a buzz on the other end of the line before silence fell in the car. I had a feeling this was going to be a long conversation so I parked in someone's drive way and turned off the engine.

"Information? What information?" Sidney asked.

Everyone nodded wondering what I was talking about. Ughh... I hate long explanations.

But here we go.

"Well you know how my dad was a famous genetic scientist? He did a lot of work on the human brain. He was involved in a project to find a way to stop people from going brain dead. A group of the best scientists from every field banded together to work on it, including my dad. But the government suddenly stopped the project without reason and took all of my father's research. My dad's assistant told me that he had some still left at a vault in our villa in Wales. She said it has something to do with this and that my dad knew this day was coming and tried to warn us. Looks like it failed." I explained.

Everyone had a look of understanding on their face except Steph.

"Why isn't your dad telling the government now then? Why are you going to get it? Where's your dad?" she asked.

Damn. There it was. Got me everytime. Straight through my heart like a poisoned arrow.

My eyes clouded over and I hung my head as I told her,"My dad is dead. All my family is dead."

I heard someone gasp.

Kasey opened her mouth to say something but was inturupted by a voice saying, "This is Chief Inspector Goodwin. I heard from my colleagues that you were looking to speak with me? May I ask who you are?"

Yes! I got through so quickly. They must be desperate.

"Hello Chief Inspector Goodwin! You have no idea how good it is to hear from someone high up. Allow me to introduce moi! My name is Lilliana Rose Alistair aged 13. Daughter of the deceased Dr. Gabriel Alistair. Pleased to meet you." I spoke formally with a hint of sarcasm.

Gotta love sarcasm.

"Nice to meet you Miss. Alistair. I am a great fan of your father's work. My officer mentioned you had some important information may I ask what that is?" he spoke formally.

"First things first, let's stop with the formalities. Call me Lilly. May I call you by your first name?" I asked being slightly cheeky.

I heard him sigh on the radio and say, "Philip. You can call me Philip. But please don't waste my time... Lilly. We are very busy trying to get to the bottom of this phenomenon."

"Ah! A good name, Philip Goodwin. But Philip, I would not call this a phenomenon. I feel it may be far less exciting."

"How so?"

I looked around the car, urging someone else to speak. Better let their presences be known since things were probably going to get confidential.

Surprisingly, it was Austin who spoke.

"Hello . My name is Austin Reed. I am also in the car. This information that Lil is talking about is a project her father was assigned to do. It involved research into the human brain. Although the government confiscated all of his work, he managed to keep some of it. We assume this pandemic has something to do with their brain research."

"Wait. So Dr. Alistair knew what this is?" Philip asked.

"Also could I know who else is in the car?"

I turned expectantly and waited for them.

"Go on then!"

They all blinked and started speaking.

"Samantha Howley. Age 14."

"Stephanie Howley. Age 12."

"Kasey Lowland. Age 13."

"Sidney Mann. Age 14."

"Joey Goldsmith. Age 13."

"And also Ashton Alistair. Age 3. And I don't know if my dad knew what this is," I added at the end.

"Okay thanks for that. Now you say you know where this information may be but does it have the answers to all... This?" Philip said.

"Well. I can't be 100% sure that it does but there's a high probabilty. Now Philip, I am going to give you this information when I have it." I stated.

Everyone looked at me with blank expressions. Guess they had no clue what I was thinking.

I liked that.

"I am sincerely grateful Lilly. This will help a great lot of people. Where is this information? Do you need assistance in obtaining it?" Philip said. His voice sounded so hopeful. The police force must be struggling under all these unanswered questions. Luckily, I am here to help.

"Where the information is... Is a secret! We need no help but there is one thing I would like for you to do in return for this info," I said throwing a stress ball up and down in the air. It was there and seemed to fit the situation so why not?

"And that is?"

I looked around the car.

"Do you trust me with your lives? Are you willing to die to save everyone?" I asked completely seriously.

"What are you talking about? Stop joking around," Kasey giggled.

I looked her straight in the eyes and her smile fell.

"You never joke do you?" Sam asked.

I shook my head. Everything I do has a purpose.

Everything. Even if it's for effect. Like my stress ball!

"I...trust you," I heard Steph say. I smiled at her, that was unexpectedly quick.

"Me too. If I've learnt anything these past few hours, it's that I can trust you. I have nothing to lose." Sam added.

What did that mean?

"Me too," Sindey and Joey said at the same time.

"You rescued me so I owe you anyway. And by the way you're talking, this seems like an adventure!" Joey grinned.

I gave grin back just as big.

"Us too," Kasey stated.

Austin nodded. Hmm... It will have to do.

"Hello?" Philip said.

Ah! Philip Goodwin!

"Yes Philip. What I would like in return is that you look into why the government shut down my dad's project and... Let us form a team to stop this pandemic." I smiled like a mad man. I probably am a mad man!

Woman...

Everyone had shocked looks on their faces. What else would you expect from me?

Well, anything really.

"I'm sorry Lilly. I cannot allow children to be exposed anymore than necessary to this pandemic. I will look into your father's case though," he tried to negotiate.

"Nuh uh! All or nothing. Either you have the information and train us and help us or we use the information ourselves and go into battle untrained and without reinforcements." I stated.

Put in those terms, he was faced with no choice. This was valuable information...Kinda.

"What if the information is useless?" he asked suspiciously.

I remained quiet. That was a possibility.

"At this point you have nothing to lose. People are dying every second and we have no cure. You're running on an empty. Even if the chance is slim, you will have no choice but to take it if you have nothing left to rely on."

We all stared at Steph wide eyed. Who knew she was a master of negotiations.

"Very well. When you obtain the info, please try to get to a computer so we can hold a press conference. Your team will be established and training will be issued. Good luck," and with that Philip finished the conversation.

We all stood there slightly star struck.

"YES! I can't believe that worked! We could have a cool team name like the Wolves! Our names would go down in HISTORY!" I cheered fist pumping the air.

Everyone laughed and smiled at my joy and silliness. This could work out afterall...
