"Tonight, we look at one of the most endangered species in North America. But first important news. Carla?" The anchorwoman turned to the woman standing in front of the Government building that looked all right at that angle, but in the corner there seemed to be water soaring right to the building.
"Thank you, Tracy. An explosion went off at the Hork-bajir Protection Agency . The former Animorph Cassie Berenson was last seen inside this building." In the background, it moved to Cassie's car parked near the front.
"As of yet, there has been no more news to be heard of. We will inform you of any changes. Tracy?"

Jake had just changed the channel on the TV as he caught the news report. He had started watching waiting for Cassie and then he saw this. He had dropped the remote when he listened to the news report.
He got up immediately and ran out the door morphing into his peregrine falcon. He headed over to Cassie's workplace. He needed to make sure she wasn't in there.

Jackie was left confused, unable to catch him in time to find out what was going on. The remainder of the news story filled in some of the gaps but not all of them. She wished he'd at least left a note.
"I hate just sitting here, I want to do something." she complained. "I wish I could morph."
<It's probably safest if you stay out of the way...your father won't want you and your mother hurt.>
"Yeah, I guess." She sighed. "I bet it was your people who did it. I hope we or they or someone can find out who and make them pay."
<We'll try but we're doing it carefully. I am not going to have to explain to your father if something happens to you.>
"Yeah, I'll try."

Carson had been doing homework when he heard the remote drop and his father running out the door. "What in the-?!"
He walked in the family room and looked at Jackie. "What was that about?"

<The one other thing is, if you enter the pool and try to help, we'll be discovered for certain.>
"Yeah, I know...then we really won't be any good if you're being tortured and I'm being used by someome less friendly." Jackie replied with another sigh.
She winced when Carson came in. She thought he knew a little about what was happening but he wasn't there when she had told her parents about Illan. She hoped he either wouldn't catch on or wouldn't freak too much if he did.
(lol they'd be surprised if they came home to find her tied up or something.)

(Well, do you want to play it out?)
Carson raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about, Jackie?"
He crossed his arms and looked around, "And where are Mom and Dad?"

(if you want, either way is okay with me)
"From what I can tell, there was an explosion where Mom works...the news said they're trying to dig her out. Dad dropped the remote and I think he flew out literally. I didn't see him morph but I saw something shoot by the window really fast." Jackie replied.
She decided to be careful in her approach to the other. "As for the talking to myself, it's a long story but trust me, mom and dad know all about it."

Carson's eyes widened. "We should go help!" Okay, Carson, now I KNOW that Eva is rubbing off on me...that's insane.
The next thing Jackie said made him quirk an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"I...well, I guess we could go watch what's happening and ask if there's a non dangerous way..." <maybe if we're careful, it won't look inconspicuous...controllers do blend in with their families so they dont' get noticed>
"Just...think of it as a way I'm trying to help mom and dad. I can't do much, I'm just a kid, but I've been trying to think of something, anything....After all, look at what they were doing at my age."

"Well, then, let's go!" Carson was ready to run out before he stopped. "Jackie, there's something you're not telling me."

"Yeah, as usual" she replied. "I guess...I don't really know how. Or who'll understand like mom and dad did." She was hurrying him, wanting to walk as they talked, to get there and help their parents. "It's hard to know with this whole thing when it's safe and when it's not. And I'm afraid something could happen to us all."
<It's like mom and dad used to have to do...they couldn't trust people, and now I'm not sure if I can trust anyone. Besides them and the other Animorphs I mean. They said you never knew who might be a yeerk.>
<Very true. We can pass flawlessly; we have to. Or we'd be found out.>

Carson started moving forward, but said, "Okay, sis, you are confusing me. Run this by me again?"

"I'm just afraid if I do, you'll freak or something. I'm sort of helping the fight, helping mom and dad...they understand although they're nervous, but not everyone would understand. And by that I mean people...or whatever you call them...of more than one species probably wouldn't understand."

Carson did a 180 degree turn and narrowed his eyes. "Jackie. Spill." He had this creeping feeling coming up, but he needed to see.

"I guess there's no way out now" She sighed. "I'm working with an old friend of mom and dad's, they both know about it and I don't think they really *like* it, but they understand. I think.
<here goes nothing.>
<I hope he doesn't try to kill either of us.>
"I would let you see him, but you'll kill him." She took a breath and composed herself. "I got careless like Eva did...but the peace movement, that's the yeerks on our side, protected me and all of us by introducing me so to speak to Illan...that way all our secrets are safe. Otherwise I'd have been like Eva. Mom actually morphed Illan once, she still has his DNA according to him. And believe me, I am totally grossed just *thinking* about it. <no offense>
"Mostly I...we...give information to mom and dad and the rest, help them fight. Tell them what the yeerks are doing so they can fight them. I didn't want any part of it, but if I just disappear, the numbers are small now and they'll know it. All of us would be in danger. And now we still will be if anything happens to you..." She felt like crying; she didn't know how he'd react and she wanted to trust him but she feared what he might do to her. He wouldn't kill her but he might tie her up until their parents returned or knock her out or something.
