"My name is Bear. James Bear" said the Bear. "Does that answer your question?"

"Not really, no," Dante blinked at the bear.

"Have we met before, Mr Bear?", he asked, looking perplexed.

Re: Let's Write a Novel
As the bear asked that question, he immediately remembered why Dante wouldn't remember him; Dante's memory had been wiped the last time they had been in the lab together.

Re: Let's Write a Novel
Dante probably didn't even remember that he had lost an arm and his current was one cutting-edge synthetic technology.
Re: Let's Write a Novel
Just in that instant, it hit him, he remembered that he has a robotic arm and that it can change into a cannon.

He aimed his robotic cannon arm at the floor, and blew a hole big enough for him and Nadine to drop through, maybe they could escape this crazy, talking bear with opposable thumbs and jet pack yet!

Nadine wondered if it had secretly been Peter dressed as a more realistic bear wearing a jet pack, but she didn't dare say anything.

"What was that?" Peter asked, as all three took cover under the closest piece of furniture.

Re: Let's Write a Novel
"It's always something around here, isn't it? Why can't we ever just have a quiet evening at home? Without bears or jetpacks or the DEA???"; Nadine was close to tears.

Just then, a bright spotlight shone through the hole that was blown in the ceiling, and a loud voice boomed over a speaker from a hovering helicopter, "Stop, we are DEA agents, and we're here to pick up the bear in the jet pack!"

The bear, however, had a cyanide capsule hidden inside one of its teeth. It bit down, and within moments it was dead.

The head DEA guy was sad; "Aw shucks! This is the third suicide this week. Imma go kick rocks, let's go guys...." he said, and the DEA agents degectedly went back the way they had come.

Peter began rethinking his sudden reappearance, and seriously considered slinking away back into the forest.

Just then a pair of hands come out from the ground and grabs them and drags them down.

The hand that had pulled them into the basement belonged to Nadines sister, Praline.

The tunnel was not as cramped as Nadine had imagined; it was air conditioned, had electric lights lighting the way, and pretty colorful mosaics decorating the walls.

There was one particular mosaic that caught her eye; it depicted a 4 toed Egyptian figure holding an ankh, with smaller figures dancing around its' base.

Nadine touched the mosaic, and the dancing figures, only to realize it was actually an amazingly clear high definition display screen.

A door in the base of the 4 toes statue opened, and a figure emerged, holding a torch.

Nadine's hand went to cover her open mouth, and someone somewhere heard a voice that very softly whispered, "Polar bears moved the island."

They finally entered a large, brightly lit, white room and looked around in awe at all the people, also wearing white, working at tables silently. "What is this place?" Nadine asked.

A tall man, whose white hair and clothing, contrasted with his ebony skin,rose gracefully from a desk and approached them.

"I wouldn't listen to anything those bears tell you if I were you, now why don't you have a seat over there while I put on some tea." Uncle Jim-Bob said as he pointed at a giant white sofa.

At the mention of tea Dante narrowed his eyes; "You were not part of that failed Serbian mission, were you, Uncle Jim Bob?"

Dante sighed, "I find that hard to believe, you went to such lengths to cover it up, then that Wilgy fellow came in & conquered Serbia on his own", looking around he asked, "What the hell is all of this anyway?"

"You'll be pleased to know that these experiments are perfectly legal in half a dozen countries now, including Serbia." Jim Bob said, crossing his legs.

Re: Let's Write a Novel
Dante pondered what Uncle Jim Bob had said, and the more he thought about it, he was certain he was NOT pleased at all.
