Chronicles of Syntax

Chapter One

"Who the bloody hell are you?" Heather exclaimed gobsmacked.

"There has been a situation. And I have replaced Kelly for a while. But beyond that, we have a new member located. Sending a fax now," he said formally.

Zane got to go get the fax copy and him and Heather looked at it.

"Why? And who are you?" Lisa questioned.

"That information will be answer later on, but right now focus on the new mission. Ellington Ainsley. Female, Race: Filipino, Nationality: Scottish and 13 years old. She seemed to be very smart, always causing trouble and an excellent writer."

"13?" Trystanne asked surprised. "Isn't that a bit too young?"

"I just report new members, nothing more. It's about 21:50. She should be at Madame Elsie's Home for Girls," the man said.

"She's an orphan?" Trystanne said.

"Yes. Now, there had been reports of strange activity around the children's home. So I think you all should check up on that too. Anyways that's all. See you all next time."

"Got it. But what about Sian, Steven and Kai?" Heather thought.

"Maybe we should just go. I mean, Kai is not leaving that bird, Daynah, any time soon. And Steven seems to be distracted. I think best chances we retrieve this Ellie if we do it," Zane said looking at all of them.

"Yes right. I think that a great idea. We should do it," Lisa said agreeing with Zane.

"Okay, but first we should inform Steven about this," Heather added. "I'll inform Steven."

"Okay. I'll get the maps and weapons ready," Trystanne said.

Heather headed to the medical wing and saw Kai and Steven, both watching Daynah and Sian intently.

"Ahem. Um. A new member was just reported," Heather said quietly.

Steven turned around. "Really? Who is it?"

"Ellington Ainsley, 13, Race: Filipino. Nationality: Scottish."

"W-wait. Ellie Ainsley?" Kai interrupted standing up.

"Yeah. Why? You know her?" Heather asked.

"Not exactly. I um. I hear about her in some forums."

"You do? What about?" Steven asked surprised and afraid their might be some leaked information about her.

"That she hacked some stuff. I don't know. A bunch of different things."

"Like?" Heather said looking for more answers.

"Well besides hacking, they said that a person started fighting her and that, we'll she blasted them with this. Um sort of energy ball thing and knocked them out and stuff," Kai gibbered rubbing the back of his neck.

"What? She apparently is not in control of her abilities yet," Steven looked at Sian and sighed. "It seems we have to go. Kai get ready."

"No! I'm not leaving Daynah here alone. I'm not coming," he protested.

"Now don't be stubborn. This is a new mission and a new member and we need as much help as we can get if something bad pops up."

"It's not like I do any good."

"No. I don't want your excuses now. Go get ready Kai," Steven insisted.

Kai huffed and angrily stomped out, leaving Steven and Heather alone. Steven sighed tiredly and rubbed the temples of his forehead.
