Black Lightning ~ A New Decade

Chapter 7: The Book of Epiphanies ~ Part 1

Gambi opens the door to reveal 2 Queen size beds and 6 twin beds lined up with a Tv and Mini Fridge beside each one.

"Wow this is better than what the ASA had us in", Jeff says.

"Oh I call the Queen size bed", Jenn says.

"Actually the Queen size beds are for our two Married Couples, Lynn & Jeff and Anissa & Grace", Gambi says.

"Aww no fair", Jenn says smiling.

"Ok now, go home and get prepared, but stay on high alert we never know when a pod kid will be spotted", Gambi says.

Everyone walks out of the bed area and leaves to go get the material for the next 4 Days.

Back at The Pierce Family home Jenn is upstairs packing when a loud knock comes from downstairs.  She walks out of her room and so does her parents.

"Who could that be", Jeff says.

"I don't know but let me go check just in case it's the anonymous group checking for the pod kids, you and Jennifer could be detained", Lynn says.

Lynn walks down stairs and walks to the door before looking back up at Jeff & Jenn. They move back a little. She opens the door to reveal 3 Men standing with guns.

"Umm yes how may I help you", Lynn says nervously.

"We're here to check for any runaway pod kids", The man in the middle says.

"Uh ok, there's no one else here but me, I can assure I'm not a kid", Lynn says chuckling.

"Umhm, well we still need to do a mandatory service check", The second man says.

"Um I was just leaving so can you come back another time", Lynn says grabbing her purse her ID falls out in front of the men. The man picks it up and examines it

"Oh so your Lynn Stewart Meta Scientist", The first man ask.

"Uhh yeah, why?", Lynn ask.

"That means you know how to stabilize the pod kids once we obtain them, why don't you come with us and we'll treat you very nicely", The man says.

"I'm sorry but I'll have to strongly decline", Lynn says.

"That was an order", The man says grabbing Lynn.

"Hey let me go", Lynn says trying to fight him off.

Upstairs Jenns eyes light up as she motions towards her mom. Jeff grabs her.

"You don't know what they have prepared for such powers, if you get caught that would be a major blow to our team", Jeff whispers.

Downstairs they finally get Lynn out and throw her into the back of a van. Jenn and Jeff run downstairs quickly.

"Mom", Jenn yells.

The Van pulls off as Jenn and Jeff exchange a look. The grab there things and go to Gambis, Once they arrive everyone is already back and with enough materials for an army.

"Team we have some news", Jeff says.

"Hey we were getting worried about you guys, where's Lynn", Gambi says looking around.

"That's what we need to talk to you about, Lynn has been captured by the anonymous group", Jeff says.

Everything falls silent.

"Wait you allowed that to happen?", Anissa ask.

"Yes, we don't know what they could have had to capture these meta we could have been captured and messed up the balance of our team", Jeff says.

"The team this mom we're talking about", Anissa says.

"Without the team we won't be able to get mom back", Jenn says.

"This is ridiculous", Anissa says walking to the back of the room.

"So what did they want with Lynn", Gambi says.

"She's the only one who knows how stabilize the pod kids", Jenn says.

"Well that makes sense, because as long as mom knows how stabilize metas, every government agency is gonna go after her". Anissa says.

"So we have to go get her back", Jeff says.

"Yeah and rescue the pod kids they probably captured them by now", Gambi says.

"So what are we waiting for let's suit up", Anissa says.

"That would be taking a lot of risk like your dad said we don't know what they have waiting for us, wait till tomorrow that way TC can hack there database see how many troops they have and where they are located", Gambi says.

"Well I won't be getting any sleep tonight, because if it was me, I would have saved mom, regardless of what may happen", Anissa says walking back towards the sleeping room.

Everyone stares then parts ways.
