Bang bang bang, I wake to a light knocking on my door. "What now?" I yawn. "There's a meeting in ten minutes in the lounge, you have to be there," I hear a voice call. "Okay whatever," I call back. I hear footsteps retreat down the hallway.
I climb out of my bed and walk into the bathroom. I brush my teeth and take a cold shower. I hope this meeting's good, cause five thirty is way too early to get up.
I stumble out of my bedroom and down the hallway to the lounge area. I am the last person to show up to the meeting. Mostly everyone looks exhausted.
I glance over at Teagan. Why in the depths of hell is she holding a toddler. I stand beside Cannon. "What's going on?" I whisper. Cannon shrugs his shoulders.
Teagan clears her throat in order to gain our attention. "Our plans have been changed, those of us that are heading to Alaska are going tonight," Teagan states. "Why?" Kacey speaks up. "The Tringers are near. we're not in danger right now, but we will be if we wait," Cannon remarks.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Rylee questions. "Because I literally just sensed it last night," Cannon responds. "How long do we have until they discover our base?" Teagan chimes in.
"A few days give or take," Cannon guesses. Teagan turns her attention over to me. "Grayson your responsibility is to help Gregor arrange a new base, and you must protect the kids," Teagan orders. "Yeah okay," I respond.
"The Tringers invaded a nearby town, we managed to rescue Seamus here who was attacked," Teagan reports. "Okay so that explains him," Cannon comments.
"We cannot put anyone else in danger, this war ends now," Teagan states. Kacey glances at me. "Grayson are the gadgets you were working on finished?" Kacey asks. "Yeah they're done," I replied. "Okay hook us up with some of those," Teagan insists. I nodded my head in response.
"Those of us going to Alaska come with me, Grayson you're also coming with us because you have to give us the gadgets," Teagan informs. We walk out of the lounge and down the endless, empty, hallway to Gregor's lab.
I open the door to the lab, Gregor isn't in there but the stuff we worked on is. I walk over and grab a container of what looks like invisalign. "You will wear these and we'll know your location at all times," I informs everyone. I hand Teagan and the others their mouth pieces.
I take another box that's full of contacts, everyone has a contact that matches their eye colors. "You can where these and we'll see everything that you guys see," I remark.
Last but not least I walk over to a box with seemingly random accessories in it. I hand Rylee and Teagan nose rings, Kacey gets a necklace with a heart on it, Cannon gets a wrist band, and Brynn and Alex both get small pearl earrings.
"These accessories will allow us to hear every word that you guys hear," I state. Gregor walks into the room, he looks absolutely exhausted. "I have the weapons, when are you leaving?" Gregor yawns. "Tonight" Rylee responds.
Gregor hands Teagan a large duffel bag, I assume it has the weapons in it. Cannons breathing gets heavy. "What's wrong?" Rylee worries. "They're getting really close, we have to go now," Cannon states.
I've never seen Cannon this scared. "Gregor you have to relocate everyone that stays," Teagan commands. Teagan limps over to me, she's hugging Seamus in her arms. "You'll be safer with Grayson," She whispers to Seamus. Teagan kisses the little boy on his forehead.
Teagan hands Seamus to me. "Please keep him safe for us," Teagan begs. "Okay Teagan," I whisper, I hug Teagan. "Stay safe," I whisper. Teagan nods in response. "Come on guys we have to go," Teagan hollers.
Seamus starts crying as Teagan, Rylee and the others walk out of the room. "Tea Tea," Seamus cries. "Shh, it'll be okay buddy," I rub Seamus on his back.
"We're going to Russia. There's another base there, go tell the others to pack a bag," Gregor speaks.
