Hiding in Plain Sight[On Hold]

Chapter 5

*Kyles POV*

So now apparently the government has known about Raven's plan for years. Mia explained everything to me at Two Scoops. Apparently Mia's parents are very secretive and have been working with Raven. They were turned to Holograms. Mia had snuck the many hard drives they kept, and looked at everything they held on her laptop. She also saved the information to her laptop. She had me look through it. I found out Raven's secret lair, I found out who she had turned into holograms, and everything about them. I found out who Carah, Anara, and Logan used to be. It was like I was waking up for the first time after a deep slumber. I was unaware of everything before Mia opened my eyes to reality.

"So what are we supposed to do about this?" I whispered. Exams were next week, so we were currently in the study hall.

"We can force information out of Carah, Anara, and Logan, or one of us can go and pretend we want to join Raven, but escape and destroy their hologram machine."

"But aren't they holograms." I said, "How can we force info from them?"

"Follow me, I can't show and tell you in here." Mia directs her eyes in the direction of the door. I followed her into the janitor's closet. Mia pulls a little box out of her pocket. It looks like a ring box.

"What is it?" I ask. She opens it. It had a little USB looking object.

"This is what we're going to use, to get the information from them," she said. "But we can only use it when they are in solid form. So, when we talk to them, we put the device in them. This USB also has speakers so that whatever Raven is planning, we can hear. If there is something we don't hear from them, it will save most memory from their short term memory. I stole this from my parents."

"What will we do from there?" I ask. Mia seems like she's already planned everything out.

"We can sneak into Raven secret lair and steal her machine. We'll try to sneak in and disable her alarms, but if it doesn't work, we'll have to fight." Mia states almost as a matter of fact. "That's why I got these." She pulls out two high quality handguns.

"WHAT THE *a series of colorful words* CRAP!" Mia puts her hand over my mouth.

I don't feel too good about this. If we want this to work, we'll need more people. This isn't going to work!

"First of all Kyle, this is going to work. And second, I have more people to work with."

Shoot, did I just say that outloud?

"Uh, yes and you did it again.

"Who?" I ask, changing the subject.

"Who, what?"

"Which people are helping us?"

She takes a deep breath, opens the door to let them in and says, "Don't get mad or freak out, but it's.....

"Jake!? Mela?! NO!" I scream. How could this get any worse?

"Hey Kyle, we're back." They say grinning.
