“Alex don’t be a…” Jade scratched around in desperation for an appropriate word “… dork! Come on!”
“So tired” he admitted, and she wasn’t sure whether he was addressing her or McReady.
“On your feet, soldier" she demanded.
The footsteps were nearing.
“Now!”
“All right, all right” he hauled himself reluctantly up.
Snatching at him, Jade blew out a huff of relief, and dragged the confused man down the corridor, behind the retreating Jamie, Jaxx and Evelina.
"My fag" Alex moaned, having dropped it on Jade's jerk.
“In here!” Jamie had spotted a door.
“I only wanted a rest” Alex murmured, as they all piled through, and into a very dark room.
“It’s dark…” someone pointed out the obvious.
“Shh” Jade commanded – the one truly in charge of the ‘fabulous five’.
"Shall I get out my flashlight?"
"No."
“Why’re we hiding?” Alex whispered “I say let’s get out there, and blow the smeggers to oblivion…”
Jade pulled him down behind what felt like a cupboard and clapped a hand over his mouth.

Evelina messed with her control pad on her arm and turned on her infrared vision on the visor so she could see where they were. Then she grabbed Jaxx's arm and used her headset to whisper, "Jaxx let me turn on your night vision." Jaxx relaxed as he let Evelina turn on his night vision in his visor, before whispering on his headset, "Thanx Eve babe." Jaxx and Evelina looked around to see they were in some kind of break room with a small kitchenette that looked like it suffered an earthquake. That's when Jaxx saw Zod sitting next to him.
Jaxx smiled as he kneeled down to hug Zod and whisper, "There you are boy. I was worried when you disappeared. Where did you go?" Zod looked up at Jaxx and panted as Jaxx heard a voice in his head, "We had to take a bit of a detour Mr. Jaxx, but we are here now." Jaxx looked at Zod funny as he whispered, "Did you just talk to me Zod?" Zod just panted as Jaxx heard the voice in his head say, "I seriously doubt that Mr. Jaxx, my Vox Dawg or the one you call "Zod" is merely my means of travel. You see I am an Atemporal flea and my name is Kepler. I am here to correct the damage these Roo have set into motion and I need your help."
Jaxx looked at Zod and whispered, "Wow that is so cool Zod. Do it again." The flea then began to glow like a firefly on top of Zod's head and thought, "I am real you smegging headcase! Now hear me out before they find you." Jaxx nodded as he starred at the glowing flea. Kelper then thought, "Ok you are the only one that can hear me right now since your brain is less evolved, so you need to do as I say. First lower your keypad near me so I can enter your escape route to meet your other friends and the ones that have been captured. If anyone asks you got this info from your White Wolf for now. I will be waiting for you when you get to your escape portal." After Kepler programmed Jaxx's Keypad he and Zod ran off into the dark.
Jaxx tried to reach for Zod but found nothing but air. Evelina put her hand on Jaxx's shoulder as she whispered, "What happed to Zod?" Jaxx whispered, "Not sure Eve babe but uh.........White Wolf totally gave us a way out of here. Check out my keypad." Evelina looked at Jaxx's keypad and then linked it to hers so she could see it too. Jaxx whispered, "Hey Eve babe how come you know how to use my armor's gadgets so well?" Evelina was looking at her keypad as she whispered, I read the manual on the way over. Hmmmmmm it looks like we have five minutes to wait here then we need to head out to the right and enter the 4th room." Evelina whispered to the others that they got some help from White Wolf on how to get out but they need to follow it exactly."
<Tag> Time for Mission Improbable Kiddies. We need to pick up Jacky and Plisken on the way.
