Operation Adelynn

Chapter Eight

Henry buys us each a suit, mine's made of nylon. He also buys us hotel rooms. "You're really invested in this mission, aren't you?" I ask. "This is my most promising lead yet," He replies sheepishly. "I just know this will work," Henry says, more to himself than us. "I've been making eco-friendly and sustainable versions of the Scientists' inventions, and swapping them out for the polluting ones that the Scientists make."

 I'm impressed. Henry then shows us maps of the Labs, but the maps show no entrances or exits, which is probably so that it won't be easy to do something we're doing. "We're scouting this at six o'clock in the morning, an hour before shift change. That way we'll have an hour to look for exits and entryways, then we'll come in at shift change." He throws us lab coats with the Scientist logo, safety goggles and more masks.

 "Wait," I say hesitantly, "Are you saying that we're going into the Labs posing as scientists?" I exclaim. "Obviously," Henry replies coolly. "Did you think it was going to be as easy as walking around the perimeter?" I decide not to answer that, and I pass it off as a rhetorical question. "I'm going to get you disguises, because in the morning when we enter the Labs, they'll recognize you as the missing fugitives. They assume that you died, as you've been in the chambers for eighty years, but we don't want to raise suspicions now, do we?" at that, we part ways, the four of us girls entering the hotel lobby, and Henry going to buy disguises.
