Jondy went into the next room.  On the floor was Tinga lying down on a mattress.  She had cuts on her face and arms.  She recently escaped (again) from Manticore.

"Tinga."

"What?" she answered.

"Max needs your help."  Jondy answered.  "She wants you to come down to Seattle and help her. Ritchie, Loner, and her are going to save Michael, his girlfriend, and his kid from Manticore."

"Why?" Tinga answered. "Zack said we should stay away from Max because she is trouble. Besides I don't want to be captured by Manticore."

"They just want you to show them where the new base is."

"Tell them to ask Ritchie," she told Jondy.  "He worked with the enemy.  He should know where it is."

"Ritchie works with the enemy?  We should warn them!"

"Relax." Tinga interrupted.  "He was faking.  The implant that was in his head failed."

"How do you know?"

"Ritchie was the one who helped me escape."

---FLASH BACK---

Tinga and Styl were being lead to an army truck.  Their wrists were cuffed and ten TAC team members surround them.  Ritchie was in one of the TAC team suits standing next to Tinga.  Lydecker lead them.

"We knew that broadcast that Eye-Only did would put you back on the move." said Lydecker. "Pretty soon you two would be as a loyal to me as your brother beside you."

Both Tinga and Syl knew Ritchie was faking.  Ritchie told them his secret with hand signals because of the transmitter that was inhim.  He also gave them lock picks.

Once the truck was moving, Tinga and Syl began to pick at their cuffs.  When they were unlocked, they began to attack the TAC team.  Ritchie just watched because the transmitter in head.  

     When all the TAC team was down and not moving, Ritchie goes up to them.  Syl grabs Ritchie and rips the transmitter from his head and crushed it.

"You two better hit me hard enough to make me bleed." Ritchie whispers to them.

"Why don't you come with us?" asked Tinga.

"This way I can save more from Manticore."  Ritchie answered. "I'm waiting for the right moment to go once and for all."

"This is as good as any to escape." Syl told him.

"No, it isn't." Ritchie yelled.  "Just hit me and get out of here."

"If you insist." Tinga replied as she and Syl threw a fist at him, knocking him out.

---END FLASHBACK---

"Why didn't you take him with you?" Jondy asked.

"Actually we tried to drag him out of the there but another TAC team showed up and me and Syl split."



At Logan's, a phone rings and Max answers.  After a few moments of talking, she turns to the group. "Tinga and Jondy have agreed to help us."



Michael was strapped down in a torture chair (the same one Zack was in, in Kidz are Aiight).  He remembered being in the chair before during training and hated it.

"Like Zack, he has the location of the others locked in his brain." Lydecker explained.  "We just need to unlock it and drive it out."

The doctor ejected liquid into Michael.  He started to have a seizure for a few seconds.  His heart stopped for a moment and it started to beat again.

"Where are Zane and Krit?" Lydecker asked.

"I don't know."  Michael replied.

"Where are Syl and Jondy?" Lydecker yelled.  "Where are Ben, Zack, Max, and Tinga?"

"If I knew, I won't tell you."

Lydecker turns to two members of TAC team.  "Put him back into the cell."
