"Where are the rest..." Ryan mumbled, waiting for Sheri, Faye, Wan and Jean in the foyer with Theon.
"Patience is a virtue." Theon sid, reading the last book of the Artemis Fowl collection. Ryan glanced sideways at him.
"... hey Theon."
"...yeah?"
"you know how i have Faye?"
"...yeah?"
"When are you going to get a girlfriend?"
"..."
"well?"
"Shut up, Ryan."
"Haha, ok, ok."
"What are you guys talking about?" Jean said, bounding up in between them. Ryan feigned having a heart attack. Sheri, Wan and Faye rolled their eyes. Jean laughed and said, "come on, let's go get lunch before heading to Sheri's place, her mom is still vacumming."
"Sheri, no offence, but you're mum's a neat freak." Wan said, straightforwardly. Sheri felt like one of those anime arrow-daggers flew out from Wan's mouth and stuck into her.
but it was true, in a way. let's just say every single time, without fail, if the group went to Sheri's house, the rooms had already been done, dusted and sparkled. Sheri sighed and pulled on her bag strap.
"let's just go to the bubble tea shop or something. i don't feel like eating a proper meal today." Faye suggested, and since everyone happened to have a heavy recess that day, the all went to have 'lunch' at the bubble tea shop.

Hisagi walked out into the open sun.
a boy and his guardian were looking at what he was wearing.
"Mummy, doesn't that man feel hot?"the little boy asked. his mother looked slightly uneasy and whispered, "maybe, now don't go saying things about strangers, Dylan."
Hisagi kicked a round, greyish item on the floor. it flew a couple metres, than shuddered to a stop on the rocky pavement. 'when will i meet them. the time difference is large, i need to quckly train them...' he thought, and he quickened his pace, hoping he was going in the right direction.
suddenly, Hisagi felt a pulse.
he reached into his bag and pulled out the twin crystal necklace for the first time agent he used, the first crystal necklace. it gave off slight pulses.
'does this mean the necklace will help me?' he thought, and he turned slightly to his left. the pulse died down. he turned a full 180 degrees to his right. the necklace gave off a significant pulse. he smiled.
'excellent.'

"go for yahoo, then the other 3 will search on google." Ryan said, and it was done. Sheri, Wan and Theon were searching on the Vaio laptop, and Ryan, Faye and Jean were searching on the other.
"wait. i know a better site." Faye said, and she typed in a different URL. 'i think i saw this page before...' Wan thought, scrutinising the page carefully.
the page opened with a collective amount of information, and the latest news on the home page. "this website has always been a fave when i did my projects, it's a very informative site." Faye said, clicking on the recent links. 'wow. she's good on the computer.' Ryan thought.
"we could go to Youtube, and see if there's any footage this morning." Ryan suggested, and Theon nodded, clicking on the URL bar. they went to check. 'Youtube, huh... good move.' Theon thought, clicking on recent.
"nothing..." Wan said, and Jean come around. "try paranormalsights.org, they have some stuff that might be relevant." everyone looked at her. "i was bored, ok?! i was just typing in random stuff in my URL bar, and it just came up!" she said, flailing her arms. everyone sweatdropped, but Ryan typed it in and the site opened. 'this site seems reliable...' Sheri thought, seeing nothing but information and pictures of realistic looking alien life forms.
"recent..." Ryan clicked on the link. another page opened.
"BINGO!!" Sheri shouted. "Sheri, tone it down, your father is still sleeping." Sheri's mother came in to say. Sheri nodded, not taking her eyes off the screen. "at around midnight today, 2 gigantic gates were seen opening over the Harbourfront MRT station. this was witnessed by 4 teenagers, who were out having a school camp. they had strayed from the school compound for several hours, meaning to watch the sunrise over Sentosa island, but had ran away the second the '2 gigantic doors were seen opening over the MRT station'. this news is brought to you by Punk of Venus." Wan read out softly, and Faye left her chair to get a closer look. 'this is interesting. i wonder how the article will continue itself...' Faye said, reading it with slight amusement.
"this could mean that the jumper is already on route to finding us." Jean noted. Ryan nodded. "and if he follows the link, it's sure to lead him to us." he added, and Theon grabbed his school bag. "we should get out of this house." he said urgently. Sheri nodded. Wan took up her bag as well. "of course, it makes perfect sense. we can't have this guy coming into Sheri's house by the window or something, anything's possible when the jumper's uneducated about the conduct here." Faye said, and Ryan picked up his bag, and handed Faye's to her. she gave a nod, and Jean stuffed a piece of printed information from the paranormalsights website into her bag before she began wearing her shoes. 'let's hope this helps...' she thought. 'and that we find this guy soon.'
as they trudged down the stairs to the nearest life landing, they saw a very unusually dressed man coming out of the lift.
"..." Theon scrutinised the man. then finally, he saw what the man was holding. Sheri and Wan gasped.
a string of pale pink crystals.
"it's you..." Jean lifted a shaking finger to the man. Faye and Ryan frowned and looked at the man, almost fiercely in case he was hostile.
the man lifted his fringe out of the way and smirked.
"greetings. my name is Hisagi, and i believe you are the 6 chosen ones i have been looking for."
...
OMG.
