Watching the medical team leave with Gordon, Callie stood by herself next to the pod. She shuddered slightly after watching Dom put on his insect repellent. I'm not used to having a lot of guys around. Seeing my brothers shirtless is normal, but seeing men I've known for just a few months... that's not as comfortable. She had to pull her Penelar shirt back and forth to get any glint of cool air inside her upper body. The temperature readings in her visor made her sigh. "It's 100 degrees with a heat index of 124? This is worse than the summers back home."

She decided to contact Scott. "Ursa to Maverick. Is there anything you need me to do right now?"

"Yes, there is," he answered back. "I want you to get the Mobile Crane out here immediately. We'll need it help the passengers and cut back some branches to assist others. Bring a couple of jet packs as well."

"Will I be piloting the crane in the rescue?"

"No. Either Cousteau or Quasar will handle that task. Your job will be to examine the experimental fuel that spilled. We're not sure how it will affect the flora in this area or if there's anything we can use to neutralize it."

With a nod, she said, "F-A-B, Maverick. Getting that crane is a good reason to get out of this awful heat!"

Little did she know that someone was watching her closely. Ah, a female, all alone, and working for International Rescue, the Hood thought. Noticing the different look, he smiled wickedly. Hmm...interesting uniforms. I must assume the original uniforms were replaced with these to accommodate for these new members. They have apparently added special visors to prevent anyone from knowing who they are. If I can just get her cornered, I can get the information I so desperately seek.

As he started to come out, though, Callie shook her head. "I need some water before I overheat out here." She stepped inside the pod and grabbed some bottled water. Taking a sip, she let out a comforting sigh. "Ahh, that's much better."

The Hood grumbled in anger. No! I need her by herself! He stepped back into the lush forest to keep himself concealed from sight. There must be another way I can get her alone.

Meanwhile, Callie took the jet packs and placed them into the Mobile Crane. Then, she stepped into the crane with her bottled water. "It's a good thing there's a spot to put the water. I'll probably need it while I'm driving to the danger zone." Starting the engine, she alerted Scott. "Ursa to Maverick. I'm in Mobile Crane and on the way. How's Van Gogh?"

"Could be better. I'll feel a lot better when Doc and the others get here."

"I understand. As soon as I arrive, I'll investigate the area and gather samples to see if anything can be done to protect the flora."

"F-A-B, Ursa. We'll see you in about 15 minutes, and watch the thick parts. Going through the jungle may be difficult."

"F-A-B, Maverick." Seeing how thick the rain forest was, she knew she was in for a rough ride. "Well, if I can just get it over there, this should work out just fine."

The Hood noticed her driving the machine toward the jungle. "Perfect," he said in a barely audible tone of voice. "I may have lost one opportunity, but this young woman will give me International Rescue's secrets." He followed through the thick rain forest, just keeping out of Callie's view in the Mobile Crane. "As soon as she is alone...I will strike."
