Trouble did a very good job of not leaving breadcrumbs leading to the other Animorphs any more than was already inevitable. Still, the cops - who may or may not have been Controllers - talked to Bella just because Trouble has been known to hang out with her; they talked to Renée a little too. Bella thinks she did a good job of affecting ignorance and dismay. Andi didn't, but Andi defaults kind of expressionless anyway even though her braces have been off for a year and a half.

At school - now in its very last days - everyone knows that Trouble borrowed fifty dollars from Amber Jefferson and made off with it. Amber is very gossipy and can afford to lose fifty bucks; he chose well.

Bella hasn't heard from Trouble - or for that matter Aspret - yet.

"I can get another brownie tomorrow, I don't even know what you're going to be able to find if you're hungry now, if you haven't been getting food on the regular."

"I've mostly been eating as a pigeon. Seems like that - doesn't keep working. I'll take the brownie, I guess."

Bella goes and gets him a brownie. There is a barely-audible conversation between her and Renée about the brownie. She comes back with the brownie and a glass of milk and a little bag of chips, and without Renée.

"Thanks," says Trouble, smiling at her.

From:

"No problem."

Mmm, food.

"As long as you're going to be pigeoning around until we go get Charlie anyway, do you think you can scope out the known pool entrances and see who goes in?"

From:

aeskhyne

"Yeah, I'll keep an eye out."

Bella nods, glances over the last few pages of her notebook, and says, "Do Robin and Ethan know you're back yet?"

From:

aeskhyne

"Yep."

From:

instar

"Okay, cool. I'm worried Renée's going to start up the stairs and you won't have time to morph and get out of here; is there anything else that should be said sooner rather than later?"

He shrugs. "Not that I can think of."

"Okay. See you tomorrow? We can talk stowing away on the plane when we go to Forks, if you don't want to fly there as a pigeon again."

From:

aeskhyne

"Stowing away on the plane sounds like way less of a hassle."

From:

"Yeah. Find some small bug we can carry with us and take to the bathroom after an hour and a half, acquire it, figure out how it works so you don't become obsessed with whatever obsesses bugs and bother someone and get squished. Housefly is probably a good all-purpose choice - flea might work if you can get one, though, probably easier to hide and harder to squish."
