Bella had just gotten to her room when her cell phone beeped. She took it out of her pocket and flipped the old phone open to see what had to be a text from Flippy. [i]This can't be good,[/i] she thought, dashing out the door. Briefly the thought of how Flippy had managed to get her number entered her mind, but it wasn't important enough for her to try to figure out now.

After dodging the nosy police and other students, Bella managed to get into the pipe leading to the sewers and the factory. She hurried through and ran over the bridge leading into the factory. [i]This area is still just as creepy as yesterday,[/i] she thought to herself.

In a few minutes she stepped off the elevator into the computer room. She saw Flippy over by the computer, and Aelita on the monitor. "What's going on?" Bella asked as she tried to catch her breath after all the running.
