Hello readers. Sorry it took me so long to update.

Amy looked at Zai. He looked familiar somehow, but she didn't know how that could be. And there was something else... something in his eyes. There was something about him, something strange, but Amy couldn't put her finger on it. "Okay. So, Dan has been kidnapped, and you want me to help find him." said Zai. He paused. "But you say Elizabeth Vesper-Hollingsworth's got him. And she's got Fiske Cahill too. This is going to be tricky." He looked at Nellie and Amy. "Do you have any idea where she might be keeping them?" "Well," began Nellie, "I have this." She handed him a piece of paper." He looked at it for a minute, then pressed a button on the door panel. A small screen came to life on the wall. It showed the driver's seat of the limo. There was someone in the drover's seat, but it was too dark to tell who it was. "Excuse me? Juno? Can you take me to my apartment?" "Roger." replied Juno. As they started down the dark streets, Zai pulled out a laptop from underneath the seat. They drove through the streets in silence, Zai researching something, Amy thinking, and Nellie bouncing her head to something on her iPod. Soon they pulled up in front of a small electronics store. Zai, Amy and Nellie got out of the limo, and Juno drove off down the street. Zai walked up to the store and inserted a key into the lock, them led them inside. It was strange, all the merchandise was covered in some kind of cloth. They walked through the dark store, and at the back was a door with a sign "Employees Only" Zai tapped on the letters "m", "y", "e", and "s". The panel with "Employees Only" slid down, and underneath was a fingerprint pad, an iris scan and a voice recognizer. Zai looked at Nellie and Amy and smiled. "I know. This is WAY too much security. But, with Vespers on the loose, you really can't be too careful." He placed his fingertip in the fingerprint pad, looked into the iris scan, then said "Zai" into the voice identifier. The door made a clicking sound, than opened automatically. Behind it was a posh elevator.

They stepped into the elevator. There were 6 buttons on the wall. Zai pressed the one labeled 4. The button lit up, and the elevator started it's smooth, fast descent. Then they heard a pinging sound, and the door opened. On the other side was a softly lit hallway. They stepped out and walked down the hallway. On the other side was a door. Zai opened it. On the other side was a large area with with some people in it, some working on laptops, some buying stuff from the vending machines, some reading documents and files, and some just milling about. Amy looked around. "What IS this place?" she asked. Zai grinned. "Welcome to the 15th Madrigal base"

"Madrigal base? In Boston?" asked Amy. "Why did Mr. McIntyre never tell us about this?" "Well," began Zai "He probably didn't want you to come here alone. And since you became Madrigal agents only a few weeks ago, you don't have the clearance. It could take months to get the proper security clearance to come here. We were going to put a base near Grace's mansion, but that would've been WAY to obvious. And, since a Madrigal owns the electrons shop, this was the perfect place." Nellie looked around. " So when are we going to get permission to come down here?" she asked. Zai shrugged. "I don't know. Mr McIntyre is in charge of that." He looked around. But if you get caught here without clearance, we could get kicked out. So let's get to my apartment, fast." So they walked along the wall, came to another door, entered, and found themselves in another carpeted hallway. Zai led them down the hall and came to door number 114. Zai looked into the peephole, it lit up, and the door swung open. He ushered them in and shut the door. The room was stylishly decorated, and painted in in blues, greens, teals, and turquoises. There was a large couch against the wall, and two soft, round chairs directly across from it. Zai sat on the couch, Amy and Nellie took the chairs. Zai looked exhausted. Amy looked at him closely. Was it just her, or were Zai's eyes darker than before? She quickly looked away before he caught her staring. Zai took a deep breath. "So, here's the plan. Tonight, I make the arrangements. You two will have to stay here tonight. I have an extra bedroom, and one of you can sleep on the pull-out couch." "What about Elizabeth's demands?" asked Amy. "There's no way were giving her the serum, but we can't let Dan and Uncle Fiske die!" Zai gave her a tired grin. "I might have an idea about that."

2 hours later, Zai was sitting in front of his laptop. He was exhausted, but he couldn't think about that. Not when the world was at stake. He rubbed his eyes. He was getting one of his headaches again. He'd been getting headaches, ever since... he pushed the thought out of his mind. Concentrate, he told himself. He got up, stretched, and walked over to his nightstand and pulled out a bag with two tiny electronic chips in it. He tiptoed over to the room where Amy was sleeping. He took a tweezers, dropped one of the chips into her mouth, and rubbed her throat to make her swallow. Then he did the same to Nellie. He returned to his room and and went to his closet. It was filled with bottles and vials. He read the labels on the bottles, and took out about 40 of them. Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out two tiny pills that would help with the pain. Then he placed the bottles and vials on his desk, but on his safety goggles, and began work. He hoped with all his might that his plan would work.

Okay, the fourth chapter's down. Whew!

P.S I'm really trying to improve my writing, so comments help. I know I'm kinda bad at it, so I'm trying to improve. Thanks for reading
