" Please tell Dea goodbye for me. I hear the others calling me." Carly said. She had offered to help with lunch.

"Sure thing," Thalia replied as the screen went blank. Closing the device, she gave it back to Dea.

" So did you two have a good talk?" Deanna asked.

"We did," Thalia said with a small grin.

A male looked over at the Golden Fleece that was in their position. After the loss of both the Scientist Eve and the combat scientist Salem, Eric was annoyed. Especially when the higher ups told him that they would bring out the big guns if this plan didn't work out. Holding the same poison that almost killed Thalia's tree, he placed it back in the case behind him before locking it. He would make a contact with Thalia in about a week. He hoped that with this, he would be getting some good information on Dea or Tracy.

" That's good. Tracy said we could have lunch in the cafeteria if we wanted to. How does that sound?" Deanna asked.

"sounds good to me," Thalia responded. During lunch she would ask how Dea wanted her to handle the meeting with the scientists.

" Then lets go. " Deanna said grabbing her purse.

Thalia waited for Deanna, not knowing where pretty much anything was.

" I'll lead the way. " Deanna said as she locked the door and went down the hall.

Thalia followed Deanna to the cafeteria, hoping that she was alright with the idea that she had when it came to the Scientists. 'To make a convincing lie, you do have to mix in some truths' she thought to herself as they made their way there.

" What sounds good? " Deanna asked when they arrived. She was feeling very hungry.

Thalia looked around, not sure what sounded good. She was hoping that they would have some cheeseburgers, but didn't know if Dea was okay with that or not.

Deanna got in line and was glad they had cheeseburgers. She hadn't had one in a while and really wanted one.

Thalia grinned when she saw that they had cheeseburgers. She wouldn't admit it even if threatened to be Cerberus's trainer for a year, but she loved cheeseburgers.

" You can get what ever you want. I'm having a cheeseburger and fries. " Deanna said.

"Thanks Dea," Thalia said as she grabbed the same thing Dea did.

Deanna paid for their meals and looked for a place to sit. " Where would you like to sit?" She asked Thalia.

"How about over there?" Thalia asked, seeing that place relatively empty.

" That's a great spot. " Deanna said and went toward that direction.

Thalia followed her, hoping that she could talk to her trainer about her problem, and how she could turn it to their advantage...hopefully.

Deanna sat down seeing that something was bothering Thalia. She would wait till after they ate to ask.

Thalia ate her lunch silently, thinking about what to say.

" Is everything alright? " Deanna asked her new friend.

"You remember when I said that the scientists had the Golden Fleece that revived me, right? I was wondering if we could use that to our advantage," she said.

" I do. I think we could. What plan do you have?" Deanna asked.
