"An anti-alien terrorist movement." Leroy had to say the words out loud in order to get a good sense of what exactly the phrase meant. It meant trouble, that much was certain. Leroy remembered hearing about alien protests and anti-alien groups on the news in the past, but nothing that sounded nearly as extensive as this. Or as scary.
A shudder went up Leroy's spine and he turned back toward Jeremy. "Do you think they really know about Jamilan?" Now that he knew what Erde Premier meant, the word Jam obviously was a reference to Jamilan. "'Cause if they know about him, they might know about us..." Leroy suddenly had the feeling that someone was watching them. It was the same feeling he usually got whenever he thought about SPECTER, and he didn't like it.

"I don't know how they could possibly know about Jamilan," said Jeremy. "I realize that the only way they could know is if they knew about us. The only way they could know about us, though, is if they had someone in SPECTER. And that worries me even more." He rubbed his temples. "If they have someone in SPECTER, who knows how much they know about us?"
They were closing in on him. They'd done this before, but now he knew about it, knew what was coming. Idly, he wondered if his father had known that he was in danger before the party. Certainly he must have gotten hate mail... But he got hate mail from everyone who was scared of aliens. Jeremy ground his teeth.

Leroy's eyes widened when Jeremy mentioned the possibility of the terrorists having someone in SPECTER. If that happened, they were in serious, serious trouble. "Lets hope it doesn't go that deep. Because frankly I don't think we have what it takes to take down something like that." It was a harsh truth, but Leroy was just trying to be practical.
"So do you think we should go warn Jamilan, or... I don't know. What is the first step you take when you are given a task like this. Because, come on, obviously we are supposed to do something about these Erde people." Leroy looked at Jeremy's face, but was unable to distinguish what sorts of emotions he was feeling at the moment.

"If SPECTER would only ever send a return address..." Jeremy mumbled. "Where's Jamilan now? Do you know?" He stood up. Erde Premier was more important than Scrabble. And through all the fright, a little light of happiness peered: he was finally on the trail of the murdering fanatics.
He ran into the main room of the apartment. "Jamilan! Jamilan!" Was he even in the apartment? Were they too late? Had Erde Premier beaten them to the punch?

"I don't know if he is here, Jeremy," Leroy said as he followed Jeremy into the other room. "He might be out eating, or shopping, or who knows what else. Let's just hope he stays out of trouble until we get a chance to talk to him."
Leroy tried to stay calm, but paranoia was getting the better of him. "Do you think we should wait here? Or maybe we should go look for him. Well, at the very least, I suppose we should probably make sure he really isn't here before we organize a search party..."

"He's not here," said Jeremy. He was certain of it by now. At first he'd thought maybe Jamilan was napping (he couldn't remember if andalites did that or not), but there was no way even a deep sleeper could withstand his running around the apartment yelling his name. Jamilan was not here.
"We need to get everyone together and go look for him," Jeremy said. "We need to find him before they do." It was happening again. These Erde Primier people were leaping into his life to take away people he cared about and make things horrible. This time, he might be able to do something, though. He just needed to try to stay calm.

Leroy wasn't sure they had to worry so much immediately about Jamilan being found out. After all, wouldn't SPECTER have been a little more direct if Jamilan was in immediate danger. Hopefully. But still, he didn't really want to take the chance.
Then a brainstorm hit him. "Oh! Maybe I can track his scent. Think a doberman is up for the job?" It was a rhetorical question. Leroy pulled off his shirt and started loosening his belt in preparation to morph.

Nadia had been super busy with work and had even stayed there for the last few nights. Finally able to come home, she trudged through the streets with her sleep bag. She stared at the door now, almost as if she were new all over again.
Nadia took a breath and opened the door. "...a doberman is up for the job?" was what greeted her as she came in. "Uh...hi there. Doberman? What? And...nevermind..." Her face deepened into a shade of red. Now, Nadia, you know that strip teasing is not what Leroy does. You're really out of it...wiped out. "Um....need any help?"

Jeremy glanced out the window. It was still light enough for falcon. "I can keep an eye out from the sky," Jeremy said. "Should we stick together or split up, do you think?" Suddenly the door burst open and Nadia walked in.
She needed to know what was going on, but Jeremy was still hesitant about talking about Erde Premier. He still felt like it was his fight. He didn't want too many other people to be in on this fight. But then, this was probably going to affect everyone.
"Jamilan might be in trouble. Have you seen him?"

The moment the door opened, Leroy felt embarrassed. Nadia had almost caught him with his pants down. Literally. And what was worse was that he didn't happen to have a morphing suit underneath at the moment so he would have been standing there in his underwear. He could feel his cheeks turning red as he rebuckled his belt.
"Maybe we could search different areas, but stay within thought speech range?" Leroy suggested quickly in an attempt to alleviate his own feelings of awkwardness. "I'm going to go grab a morphing suit," he muttered. Then he grabbed his shirt off the floor and headed toward his room. "Be right back."

Jeremy threw open a window and started to morph. There was no time to sit around being embarrassed about what the others might or might not see. Besides, Jeremy had chosen from the beginning to always wear a morphing suit under his clothing. However, he was distinctly frustrated with Leroy for taking so much time over nothing.
Jamilan was in danger. What part of that didn't they understand? Erde Premier was going to find him and kill him if they didn't hurry!
