The X Jet flew over a lush green and incredibly humid South American Rainforest, named the Amazon.
Christina gazed out of the window, down at the trees rushing past.
Beside her was Sasha, who had insisted on accompanying Christina. She wanted to help alleviate Christina's pain; if something similar happened to George after all, Sasha would do anything and everything to help him.
"According to the map, in the ruins of a Mayan village coming up, just over that hill, in the temple is Everett's right arm and part of his torso," she said. "We'll be there soon."
Somewhere at the back, Horace cringed slightly. He didn't like the way Sasha was talking so casually about his dead brother's body parts.

The sliding doors opened, and for no one looking down, it seemed like no one had entered. But looking down you would have noticed a small orange creature running in. He jumped and landed on Sashas chair. "Hi honey." He said, from the back of her head.

Sasha jumped out of her seat with fright at the voice in her ear, mutating unwillingly as she did so. As she saw who it was, she forced herself to return to normal, scowling all the while at George.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, scooping the little fire man up in her hands. "I didn't want you to come!"

Sasha sighed.
"Lauren, you shouldn't be here," she said. "It's only a reconnaissance mission, but it's still dangerous. I guess it's too late now. We're here."
And so they were. The area of the village that still stood was relatively small, but judging by the clearing around it, it used to be quite large.
Dotted around were small mudbrick buildings, most of them in bits, cracked and weathered. The intricate patterns that had been carved into the stone was barely visible, worn down over the years
In the centre, pride of place was a large pyramid, with steps leading to the top, where a box shaped building stood. The whole thing was stained in blood, as if it was a very durable paint that could withstand hundreds of years of wind and rain. Unless it was recent...
Sasha shook her head and stepped out of the Jet, George in her hand, and Christina in tow.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm not going out there." Lauren said.
Sasha's hands were nice and comfortable. George laid down and tried to go to sleep.

Sasha rolled her eyes and slipped the sleeping George into her breast pocket. Christina giggled slightly, but it didn't last long. Her cool, calm demeanour for the upcoming mission returned.
"I suggest we get in and out as quickly as possible," she said calmly, gesturing up at the top of the eighty metre tall pyramid.
Without waiting for the rest of her entourage, she stalked purposefully to the base of the pyramid and started the trek up the stairs.
Sasha frowned and quickly followed, as did Horace.

Back at the institute a wiry hand reached to his desk. Grabbing his cell phone and clearing his throat he dialled a number.
Back at the amazon Christinas phone rang, and rang, and rang, On it was the word "Drake Calling"

Christina heard her cellphone ring and absent-mindedly answered it. She wasn't even a quarter of the way up the stairs, and she still climbed relentlessly.
She didn't even see the Caller ID.
"Hello?"

"Hello" A youthful voice on the other end said. "I'd like a Sugerfree brownie with a side dish of my girlfriend, you may know her, her name is Christina Davis, I had the Ingredients for my own, but they seem to have walked out on me." Drake said.

Christina stopped in her tracks upon hearing the other person speak. She carefully sat down on a step, painfully aware she was suddenly feeling very dizzy.
"Christina?" Sasha inquired, picking up her pace up the stairs, a worried expression marring her face.
Christina waved Sasha away, who backed off slightly. She cleared her throat and spoke with a shaking voice.
"Dr - Drake?"

"It might be, This is my voice right." Drake replied.
Waking up he looked up at Sasha. "What's happening?"
