Hour Zero

Chapter Eight

In one of the F.O.W.L. secret building, Bradford and the other agents having a meeting after they sent their message.

"So apparently Mr. Mcduck had someone move all of the artifacts somewhere where we can't find it," Bradford said as he looked at the countdown timer on his watch.

"So that means, what it means why are you stated what we already know and We all know he must of asked Gizmoduck or Nightingale to hide them," Gandra said as Bradford turned to face them.

"We only have heard of this Nightingale recently, she has been helping out with all the crimes in Duckburg and trying stop you and they have been successful each time, but we suspect that the identity of Nightingale is actually Lominic Von Vanderbeaks," Bradford said as most of the agents there laughed.

"Really? Dr. Vanderbeaks, come on, she is way too cowardly and very meek to be the Nightingale heroine.. Hard to believe she is actually is Holden's kid and if you ask me you should have sent in Agent 66 for that mission, because he wouldn't grown attached to Dr. Vanderbeaks," Steekbeak added as the others agreed.

"Well what's done is done, we've had someone to work for Lominic Von Vanderbeaks to find out is she is Nightgale, and hopefully find out the identities of The Masked Songbird and Gizmoduck but we know who he is, We gave him a convincing undercover story for him to get him hire as Dr. Vanderbeaks head of security. Some saying that he was hired by Mr. Beaks for some stupid petty rivalry. Get close to her and make her drop her guard by emotionally manipulating her feelings and discover what she's hiding, and why she is helping Scrooge. He should be back anytime," Bradford said as the doors opened as everyone in the room turned to see Falcon Graves walking in.

"Oh great, his back, oh how we missed you!" Steelbeaks is a sarcastic manner. "So Graves, did you find out about anything about your little girlfriend of yours," Steel added as Graves seemly ignored that comment trying not to fall for his childish games as he sat down across from him.

"She's not my girlfriend, I don't care about her that way or anyway, and she is not Nightingale, I have been watching her for months and she is just not who you say she is," Graves said as Bradford thought for a moment.

"And you have been following her everywhere she goes like her lab or office?" Black Heron asked as Graves nodded.

"Trust me she is not Nightingale. I've followed her everywhere she went even if she told me to stop following her," Graves said as the others weren't convinced. "Okay what? why do you care, you all don't really believe she is Nightingale and plus I've seen them both in different places at the same time." Graves added as Bradford interrupted.

"Okay I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But Now we need to to find where Scrooge's dangers to society is going to hide their dangerous treasure they have discovered. So I hope you can track where Scrooge's plane last know coordinates." Bradford said as Gandra looked up any flights that left Duckburg.

"Well the last known whereabouts of Scrooge's plane was somewhere... Well I don't know, the plane left Duckburg around 10 in the morning there." Gandra said as she was looking harder.

"Well who ever Scrooge got to take his plane is smart and must have disabled any tracking from the plane after they left Duckburg. So this person is obviously well known in tech and aircrafts machinist to make sure we don't know where there hiding Scrooge's most dangerous and most magical artifacts," Bradford said as Gandra was looking into Lonnie and her connections to Scrooge, and noticed that she was out of town and so was Fenton.

"Well you did give them two days which I don't get why I would have been better to attack them immediately." Steelbeak said and Bradford signed in annoyance.

"We're not the villain," Bradford said as the others looked at him. "Okay maybe to them we are the bad guys but we wouldn't be in this problem if the Mcducks  hadn't been so careless about the precarious of the darn adventuring then we wouldn't having this problem or this conversation and if Vanderbeaks recruited his kid like I asked before he was killed then maybe we would have a hugh disadvantaged on Clan Mcduck," Bradford said as everyone but mostly the older members of F.O.W.L. we honest glad the Holden wasn't around anymore.

"Well then what's are next move then. Do we just sit here and wait," Black Heron asked.

"Well eventually they'll have let Scrooge know that they have successfully hide the artifacts. Their transmission can be intercepted and blocked. So well wait, until that happens Agent Holden had left us most of his secret hidden islands that we have been using for us so why don't you start from there. If Dr. Vanderbeaks did help Scrooge hide is artifacts she must have gave them the location to one of these so you all go there." Bradford said everyone left the room.
