Cece: Don't worry about it. I've never seen Rai get put in his place like that before. Good job!
General G: Alright you three, are you ready to go?
Lilli: Wait! We're leaving right now?
General G: Do you prefer staying here?
Lilli: No! I mean...I just didn't...expect for this to be happening so fast.
Cece: We were up all night working very hard to make this possible. That's why the HQ is empty, everyone went to sleep. So trust me when I say this. This is only the beginning. Now come on, we shouldn't keep an old couple waiting.
The kids follow Cece and General Gate to the back of the base and make it outside. There was ten armored cars, five on each side. A little farther ahead was a airstrip. As they were walking towards a car, the airstrip started to retract, exposing a ramp leading into the underground section of the base. They make it to the car and the kids notice that it was their escape ship slowly coming up from under.
Kay: So that's where you had our ship.
Cece: I'm surprised they haven't left yet.
General G: Alright you three, you can get in.
They all get into the car and the kids start to buckle up their seat belts.
Cece: Hey Genny. Before we get going, can you take us over to them? I wanna make sure everything is okay before they go.
General G: Fine.
The General starts the car and makes his way over to the ship.
Cece: I'll be quick...I promise.
Cece gets out of the car and rushes over to the ship's door. Sky opens it and lets her in.
Rai: Is there something you need?
Cece: Just came to see if everything is okay. Is...everything okay?
Sky: Everything is fine and dandy.
Cece: Do you know how to use that thing?
Rai: You put in the coordinates, turn on autopilot, and it takes you to where you want to go. It's pretty self explanatory. Anything else?
Cece: Like I said, I just...I just came to make sure that everything is okay.
Sky: Cece! We're going to be okay! Your're stressing this a little too much, you don't have to worry I promise. I'll make sure he's on his best behavior.
Cece: Alright then, I'll leave you guys to it. Be safe and don't do anything stupid! I'm looking at you Rai.
Rai: Yea whatever, just go already.
Cece walks over to Sky and gives her a hug and then makes her way over to Rai and hugs him from behind his seat. She then walks over to the door, but before she fully leaves, she turns around to say her final words.
Cece: I love you guys...be safe, and remember nothing stupid!
Rai: Aye aye captain.
Cece steps out and the door closes behind her. The escape ship begins to slowly hover off the ground and starts to take off as it gets higher into the air. Cece gets back into the car and buckles up.
General G: Are you ready to go?
Cece: Yep! I'm all set. Lets go.
And with that, the kids are on their way to their new home.
48mins. Later
General G: Alright, we're here.
Lilli: Kayleb, get up.
