Kassidy paced back and forth across the floor that connected the living room and the kitchen.
"Kassidy, can you play that message again?" Miranda asked. When they got back from the alley, Kassidy explained about the hologram message her mom sent her. Miranda had her plug her bracelet into her computer to try and get their location. Now, Kassidy walked to the computer and replayed the message. "weeksgot the location! The problem is that it's practically in the middle of nowhere, and all that's showing is a ranch house."
"My mother said she was in some kind of mansion," Kassidy said. "That doesn't make any sense."
"Any luck so far?" Kira asked as she walked in.
"Nothing makes any sense so far, unless..." Kassidy answered. "Miranda, remember that article about underground mansions we read about in school?"
"Of course!" Miranda exclaimed. "Large enough to hold operations, but nobody's the wiser!"
"What are you girls even talking about?" Kira asked.
"Miranda managed to locate our parents," Kassidy said.
"Really?!" Kira exclaimed as she walked over to Miranda's computer screen. Her face fell a bit. "In that tiny house?"
"Underground mansions often have one floor on top, while the rest of the floors are underground," Kassidy explained. "You can build it in the middle of nowhere and no one would know that there are other floors underneath it."
"Miranda, see if you can zoom out a bit and get an idea on where the mansion is," Kira said. Kassidy watched as Miranda zoomed out using the scroll wheel on her mouse.
"Look!" Miranda said as she stopped scrolling. "Pine Ridge Reservation. Isn't that where Uncle James used to live?"
"Yeah, it's in South Dakota," Kassidy answered.
"We can't just book a flight to South Dakota!" Kira exclaimed.
"Why not?" Kassidy asked.
"Because the Organization can track our credit cards. Then they'll know we were searching for your parents even though they said not to," Kira said. "We could get in trouble for that."
"Miranda and I convinced the Organization to look for them once, we can do it again," Kassidy confidently stated.
Kira sighed s if she knew she'd been defeated. "Fine, but I'm coming with you."
"So, that's how it happened," Kassidy said. Once she had showed up and told the Organization that she had gotten a message from KC, they had called a meeting.
"Let's get them straight," Johnson said. "You were sitting in your living room, when you received a message from your mother."
"Yep," Kassidy said.
"And now you want us to help you book a plane to South Dakota, to see if the Native Americans of Pine Ridge reservation have seen anything suspicious, and investigate what could be an underground mansion."
"Exactly," Miranda said.
"We can't use our resources for things we can't be sure about, especially for a search that we called off," Agent Johnson said. "Now, we have been talking about if and when we're going to start up the search again, and we realized that there's a possibility that they may having sided with the Alternate."
"What?!" Kira exclaimed. "Agent Johnson, I know my own kids. They wouldn't turn on us. They've worked with the Organization for years!"
"I know, but two weeks and now we get a lead? It seems kind of suspicious," Agent Johnson said.
"But the message..." Miranda started.
"Could very well be a fake to lure you into a trap," Agent Johnson interrupted. "Look, we would've disavowed them if Kassidy hadn't convinced us to search for them."
"In my defense, I did come up with with some pretty good reasons," Kassidy said.
"The point is, that we can't continue to use resources on them," Agent Johnson continued. "Especially if they did turn."
Kira glared at Johnson. "Well I hope you're happy now. Come on Kassidy, Miranda, let's go." The threesome walked out of the room.
