"Bald Eagle, do you copy?" Dustin spoke through his radio. "I repeat, this is Scoops Troop, do you Copy?"
"Yes, I copy." Murray responded, making the group chuckle with relief.
"Call sign?"
"...Bald Eagle." He sighed.
"Please repeat."
"Bald Eagle! This is Bald Eagle!" Murray grew impatient.
"Copy that. Good to hear your voice, Bald Eagle. What's your twenty?" The boy asked.

"Roger that. This is Scoops Troop, going radio silent. 10-10, over."
A few minutes later, the group heard his staticky voice come through once more.
"Scoops Troop, this is, hm, Bald Eagle." Murray sighed, somewhere in the Russian's airducts. "I've reached another junction."
"This is the fourth junction." Erica spoke to Dustin.
"Alright," Dustin nodded. "So if memory serves, this is right after the My Little Pony thesis."
"We went left, so he has to go right."
"Fly right, Bald Eagle." Dustin told Murray, who grumbled in annoyance at the nickname, but still did what he said.

Valerie shook her head at the thought of what could possibly be happening back at the mall, and without further adieu, she grabbed the car keys from Steve's hands and began running down the hill.
"Where are you going?!" They called after her.
"To get them the hell out of there!" Valerie shouted over her shoulder. "Besides, my brother is apart of all this mess, I need to save him too! Stay here, contact the others!"
