Hey Guys, sorry it's late. Here's Chapter Four!

Why?

Sarah started to ask questions and that's not normal, not for her. All she really does is follow orders. There is no need to comprehend what is going on through all the action. She isn't a lawyer so Sarah doesn't care about learning both sides of things. When she got up this morning, Sarah had a question. Why?

It's a word she never said. Why? After she repeats this question, more questions arise. Sarah walks down to the cafeteria in their new headquarters and grabs herself a bottle of water. She sits down at one of the tables and stares off into the distance. Why? Before she can try to find the answers, an assembly is called. The Director announces he wants to start Operation: Takeover.

Alex has been unusually quiet. For a top EPF agent whose objective is to stop TAG, he's not using too much effort in finding an escape. Micheal turns and looks at another screen, which is surveying another room that's holding many other prisoner cells. If he flips a switch, Micheal can listen in on their conversation.

"WE'RE GOING TO DIE!" Yells a hysterical lime green penguin.

"Rookie," A penguin penguin states. "Snap out of it! We're not going to die!"
"I'M DYING LAKE BLUE!" Rookie groans from his cell. "I'M SOOO HUNGRY!"

He jumps up to his cell door and grasps the bars.

"HEY DUDE WITH THE JAIL KEYS! CAN YOU BRING ME SOME FOOD?!"

Lake Blue shakes her head in exasperation. In another cell, Micheal watches Dot examining her cell. She feels the wall trying to see if there are any weak spots. Then she looks between the bars of her cell and across to the other cell, where a red penguin sat. He sighs and shrugs his shoulders.

"You know...it's kind of weird to see you without your jet pack," Dot remarks.

"When I get out of here," the red penguin announces. "They are going to pay for taking my jet pack!"

Micheal turns from the surveillance screens to glance at the jet pack leaning against the wall in the room he is in. His attention turns back to the screens when another voice calls out.

"HEY!" A female voice shouts, "I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE PERSON IN CHARGE!"

The voice belongs to a purple penguin who is staring straight at the security camera that is aimed at her cell. It almost looked like she is actually looking at Micheal through the screen.

"FROM WHAT I CAN TELL EVERYONE FROM OUR GROUP IS HERE, EXCEPT FOR ALEX. I DEMAND TO KNOW WHERE MY BROTHER IS!"

Brother? Micheal listens.

"Enough Rebecca," another penguin calls out from his cell. "They're not going to answer you."

The penguin called Rebecca looks at the penguin with pleading eyes.

"I've got to try." She affirms, "who knows what they're doing to Alex."

Rebecca returns her gaze back to the security camera.

"HEY!" She declares, "I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME! GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW AND ANSWER ME! WHERE IS ALEX? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HIM?"

"They aren't going to talk to you," the penguin repeats.

"Shut up, Joe! I know they can hear me," Rebecca snaps.

"That doesn't mean that they'll respond," the penguin answers back. "Besides we've got other questions to ask, like where are they holding Gary the gadget guy."

"Oh? So Alex isn't important?" She cries in despair.

Joe hops up from his makeshift bed and makes eye contact with Rebecca.

"I didn't say that he wasn't important." He replies, "I do know that if Alex was here, he would say that we need to continue our mission. Rescuing Gary is our top priority right now."

Rebecca slumps her shoulders, in defeat and shivers.

"Oh knock it off, Joe," Lake Blue answers from her cell. "The only one who needs rescuing at the moment is us!"

"If one of us manages to escape," Joe implies. "They're top priority is bringing Gary back to Club Penguin, not freeing us."

"That's ridiculous," Lake Blue interjects. "We are a team and we stick together."

Joe shakes his head.

"And some how the Director choose you to be a fifth class agent," he remarks.

"What did you say?" She asks.

Joe shrugs his shoulders and then returns to his bed and closes his eyes.

"JOE?" Lake Blue yells.

Micheal turns off the switch and mutes the video feed as another penguin walks in.

"Is this the file you're looking for?" He inquires.

Micheal takes the file and opens it.

"Yeah." Micheal confirms, "This is the one."

He starts to read the first page as the agent left him alone in the office.

Mission: TAKEOVER

Status: In Progress

Attempt 1: Failed

Attempt 2: Failed

Attempt 3: To be determined

What could that file possibly mean? Why does Michael intend to read it? Attempt 1, Attempt 2, Attempt 3? What's all those about? What is Alex up with? Why is he so quiet? and Sarah is starting to question things too. Could that be a good thing? Or bad? What will Sarah do? What is she thinking? Find out next time on September 25th.

Rosa Blythe: Good theory, you never know perhaps you're right or perhaps your wrong.

TheEnderPickaxe: thanks and we'll see.
