"I think I've figured out something that can help us..." Isabella continued quietly, looking around to make sure they were truly alone.

"Really?" Dempsey questioned, wondering what the hell she was planning. "You gonna let me in on the secret or are ya gonna run off and leave us all in the dark again?" He finished, still slightly annoyed at what happened in Shangri-La.

Isabella sighed, not wanting to involve anyone else in her plan... But he was right. She couldn't do this alone. If it was going to work, she was going to need everyone's help...

"Okay Tank... But for right now, this stays between us..." She began seriously, as he nodded, waiting for her to continue.

"Ahem," He said, clearing his throat and getting their attention. "Our next destination is zhis vay!"

He walked forward, motioning for them to follow him back towards the tunnels as they needed to be in the laboratories for the next step. As they all made their way towards the power room, the sound of footsteps could be heard as Richtofen put a hand up quickly, drawing his gun and signaling them to proceed with caution.

As they rounded the last corner, Brianna peeked around his tall frame, skipping around him as she recognized who it was instantly without their helmets on.

"Izzy!" She shouted, bouncing forward to hug her sister as everyone else crowded around, eager to hear what she had to say since her disappearance in the jungle.

"What the... How did you get here?! And what happened in-"

"Woah Bri, one question at a time," Isabella laughed while hugging her back, happy to be reunited with her team. "I'm glad you're all safe..." She continued, giving everyone a nod. Her eyes fell on the tallest member of their group as he removed his own helmet, preparing to ask her some questions of his own.
