*Back into acting*

A voice in Teela's head spoke up. "That Ebo kid is vaguely familiar..."

"I've never seen her before." Teela silently replied.

"Yes, but she is familiar, you must grant me that much."

"Yossarian, I don't have to grant you anything!" She said that out loud. "Oh. Oops..."

"Who the hell's Yossarian?" The Hippie grunted.

"Yeah. You're the sane one, aren't you?"

"Well, you see, Yossarian is a character from Catch-22. Yes."

*Blank stares*

"Okay, I'll explain..."

"...and that is why I am the luckiest girl in the universe," finished Teela, a long and rather rambling while later.

Ebo continued to give Teela a blank stare. The Hippie was snoring loudly.

"Oh just forget it", said Teela, "can we please get back to tracking down Tash before things get even crazier."

They woke the Hippie up, flagged down a passing jumbo and a short time later landed at Nowhere Special airport.

At customs they saw an official approaching. Teela turned to ask the Hippie what they should do, but he had disappeared.

"Please follow me," said the official. He escorted them to a grey coloured room. It contained a table and three chairs. Turning Teela and Ebo saw that the official was now wearing blue latex gloves.

Ebo pipes up: "Is anyone besides me find something unerving about blue gloves?"

"Yes...I wonder why..."

They sat down at a table in corner near the door.

Finding nothing to talk about they amused themselves by looking at stains on the ceiling. Teela suddnly pushed his ear against the wall.

Ebo cocked an eyebrow at her.

"What can you hear?" Ebo.

"A raidio, its saying something about..." she paused and listend, "...Reavers?"

Ebo got a horrified look on her face.

"What's wrong? What are Reavers?"

"I-I guess I don't know. How odd, I'm terrified of them for some reason."

"Okay...wait, Reaver can be another name for Death. One who reaves souls. Hmm...odd..."

"That must be why I appear terrified. Reaver of Souls, eh? Very...poetical...and informative...you know too much." Ebo half-wondered aloud.

"I hear that about everyday, Ebo."

Suddenly, there was a scratching sound at the door. Teela clutched tightly to Ebo in fear.

The bolt slid free and the door opened. The Hippie peered into the room. He smiled and raised a finger to his lips.

"Sshhhh!" he said.

Teela stifled a giggle and Ebo gasped. Silently, the Hippie gestured for the girls to follow. The three of them began sneaking down the empty corrider towards freedom.

Ebo nudged Teela, "I notice that were edging towards freedom."

Teela nodded.

"I din't realize we were caught."

Teela sighed, "Don't you pay attention to anything we do?"

"Hey!" Ebo suddenly realized, "Were edging towards freedom!"

Suddenly a big man appeared and began shouting things.

"Do you know what he's saying?" Ebo asked.

"Nope." grunted the Hippie.

Teela was just looking at him. "Bi zui, tamade."

The man immeadiatly shut up more from suprise than actual obeying.

"What's he speaking?" Ebo asked.

"Mandarin. I know a few phrases."

"What'd you tell him?"

"To shut up."

Teela started talking to the man again.

"Ni mei shi ba?"

"Zhe bing bu huai."

"She me."

The Hippie and Ebo just stared. Teela continued talking.

"Do you know English?"

"A little."

"Okay. Will you come with us?"

"Okay."

So, the four started going down the hallway.
