Living a Double Life

Chapter 2

*time skip to Saturday*
"So Trent where exactly is this headquarters place?" Mackenzie asked.

"Uh, I looked it up and it said it was at the end of this street." Trent said taking a glance at the street signs.

"Trent, there isn't anything at the end of this street." Kendall stated looking down the road.

Kendall, Amber, Mackenzie, Trent and Drake reached the end of the street, staring at an empty plot of land.

"That doesn't make any sense. Agent Campbell said it's at the end of this street." Trent exclaimed confused.

"Look around. See if you can find anything." Trent hollered to his friends.

"Hey what's this?" Mackenzie slightly yelled pointing at a wall of the next door building. She noticed a certain piece of the wall, a circular shape, was a slightly darker color. It was a button camouflaged to match the wall. She pressed the button and an underground tunnel appeared about 20 feet left from the button. Trent went in the tunnel first with everyone else following behind. They moved through the tunnel and hit a bigger room with boxes and crates everywhere. Before Trent moved ahead, Amber stopped him.

"Trent, stop!" Amber yelled.

"What, why?" Trent asked confused.

"Look." Amber said pointing around to various places in the room.

"Laser beams. Seems the button to deactivate them is over there." Amber stated pointing at a button on the opposite wall.

"I'm on it. I've done laser mazes before. They're easy for me." Kendall said stepping forward.

Kendall examines the lasers to find the best route. Spotting an easy route, she takes a few steps to the left. Soon Kendall crawls under the first one, and front flips of the next few. She continues to go through the maze not running into a single one. Kendall reaches the end and presses the button, but nothing happens.

"Ok give me a minute. This button isn't wired correctly." Kendall states reassuring her friends. Kendall removes the buttons cover and looks through the wires. She rewires the button, places the cover back on and presses it. It worked. The laser beams disappeared and her friends run over towards her. They continue to move forward as Trent hits a wall in the way.

"Hmm. There's a wall, but what are we supposed to do?" Trent asked confused.

"That's not a wall, it's almost like a boulder." Drake said observing it.

"Kendall, do you remember what was in those boxes and crates in that bigger room?" Drake asked.

"Um, there was some water bottles with water still in them, wires, string, and some package that I couldn't see the full name of but it did say rubidium." Kendall said remembering about what she saw.

"Grab me the rubidium, water bottles and string, please." Drake asked.

"Alright." Kendall ran back and grabbed them and threw the rubidium and string into the crate with the water bottles. She picked up the crate and ran back to her friends with it.
Drake got busy with the water bottles and string. He transferred all the water into one bottle that filled the bottle about three quarters of the way full. Drake tied a piece of rubidium with a string and hung it from the top of the water bottle. He told the others to stand around the corner in the bigger room. He slowly picked up the string and started backing up, making sure he doesn't drop the rubidium. Soon Drake was around the corner with everyone else. Once he was around the corner, he let go of the sting, releasing the rubidium to react strongly with the water. The reaction caused a huge explosion. Once they knew it was safe to go out, they peered around the corner to find a group of people waiting there for them.
