The next day in the forest, Miguel, Blossom, Raheem, Abagail and Violet were checking on the expansion forest and see how it was going.

Miguel: Looks like the sprouts are going along very well.

Blossom: The irrigation system and compost is working well Miguel-kun.

Abagail: Hey guys, is that truck supposed to be out here?

Everyone sees a truck moving hard across the forest.

Miguel: That looks a little off.

Raheem: Violet.

Raheem gets on Violet's back and they get some altitude. They see the truck trying to cut through the forest; it was a storage truck that had off-road tires. Raheem and Violet came back down.

Raheem: Abagail.

Abagail still had her drones with her so she sent one to follow the truck. The drone came in close, latched onto the truck under it. When it latched on it activated a beacon that Mima got a signal from.

Mima: Pure, something is up at the sanctuary; Abagail activated one of her beacons but the other drone is with her.

Pure: Hang on.

Pure calls Miguel and he picks up.

Pure: What's up Miguel?

Miguel: Pure, we saw a storage truck cutting through the forest.

Pure: That's weird.

Miguel: What's weirder is it had off-road tires, which meant something is off.

Pure: Yeah that is off, we will keep tracking it but head back to the sanctuary under protection.

Miguel: All right.

Pure hangs up.

Pure: Keep tracking that signal, something is off.

Mima: Tracking.

The drone kept tracking the van with its beacon, soon enough the van got onto asphalt and was heading to the docks. Mima controlled the drone and it detached from the truck when it stopped.

Mima: Truck stopped.

Seth: Where is it?

Mima: The docks in Brazil, but what for?

Seth: Try to get a vantage point, see what is going on.

Mima carefully controlled the drone to get away from the van and hide near one of the containers there. A man got out of the truck and opened it. He had a gun and was herding something out.

Mima: Human trafficking.

Seth: Jesus.

The man instructed them to get in a container and he shut the door. A crane was there and it was taking the container to be put on a ship.

Seth: Wait a minute.

Seth scans the container and finds an airway in the container.

Seth: Think you can get the drone in there?

Mima: I can try.

Mima looked around at who was looking at the crate; she carefully snuck around until she got to the boat the crate was to be loaded. Mima made a quick dash and managed to get the drone through the airway. Mima made the drone go into a hover, she turned on the lights on the drone and she could see children and teens in the container. The children saw the drone and Mima spoke through the drone.

Mima: Shhh, someone will hear us, what happened here?

Boy: Some people came and took us in the middle of the night, they knocked us out and put us in a truck, they had guns.
