The doors closed. They were safe, for now. Turning to answer Spaz' question with some vacant remark, Brian's head suddenly felt really tight...as if...someone else were in there...
Hello? Brian? Can you hear me?
Oh. It was the organization. He recognized the male operator's voice right away. Why was he calling in? Jesus, was it time to open the documents already? Inside this place?
Yes. Yes it is, Brian.
Hah. For a second, he'd forgotten this guy could read his-
...thoughts? Heh. Don't get caught off guard, man. Listen. Migas, the man you seek, is nearby. You don't have much time. You need to get to him. Now. Open the documents. When you do, they'll tell you everything you need to know. Okay? I got another call, so...I'll see you later. Good luck!
The feeling left as quickly as it had come, leaving Brian with a sudden emptiness. Without regard to the other two, he immediately threw the bag of tricks off of his shoulder and onto the floor. A few seconds of rummaging, and the manilla folder was back in his hands...time to find out what this great task would be...
[I'll photoshop them tomorrow...it takes so loooonnnnng... gonk ]

Spaz frowned in confusion as Brian seemed to go all... absent. In fact, he almost looked pie-eyed. Mmm, piiiiie. Apple, peach, pumpkin, blueberry, Frankenberry, Captain Crunch, Lucky Charms... wait, never mind. He waved his hand in front of Brian's eyes.
"Hello? Earth to B-Man."
~Twinge~ And just like that Spaz was off on a tangent again.
"♫This is ground control to Major To~om♫" He sang--surprisingly doing a rather fair David Bowie--while Brian began rooting through his bag, "♫Take your protein pills and put your helmet on!♫"

Kali stared from Brian to Spaz. One was insane, and the other one was playing 'throw everything across the room'. Why was she with them again? Oh right! Because she was too damn curious. Speaking of curious...
"Do we get to open the folder?" she asked hopefully, eager to see what they were supposed to be doing.

Brian nodded slightly before blocking out everything the mission at hand. These were the documents they had to follow. They might as well have been the divine texts of the Bible, as far as Brian was concerned. Slowly and carefully, he peeled open the thick manilla cover and began to read the first page...

"♫For here am I, sitting in a tin can...
Fa~ar above the world,
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do♫" Spaz sang heart-wrenchingly, a tear running down his cheek.

((Team 2)) [Sorry...I was at the beach today...] He carefully read the first page. It was confusing...it looked almost rushed. Contrived, even. But it all checked out.

Only four pages? That seemed miniscule in comparison to some of his other missions. But if this guy was such an enigma, well...
"Okay. Guys, we have to go to the tenth floor. Who knows what we'll find there, but apparently, that's where our mission is supposed to take us."
As he waited, he turned to the next page.

"Tenth floor?" Kali looked at the button panel. "Cool, so all we have to do is press the button..."

Brian looked up from his precious, yet vague, documents.
"Mmm? Yeah, go ahead."

"I'M pressing the buttons!" Spaz said emphatically, moving between Kali and the row of shiny plastic buttons and glaring. "MINE!"
He tried reading over Brian's shoulder, but only picked up bits and pieces of the information on the page. Eh, reading was for suckers anyway. He'd just figure it out as they went along and pretend to know what was going on. No one would suspect a thing, not even the airplanes. Damned airplanes, always watching Spaz from the sky; watching and plotting, waiting for him to lower his guard...
Reaching over to the panel, he pressed the button that said "IO", which he assumed was short for "Idiots Only" or something. Seemed rather appropriate given the circumstances.

Slowly, the elevator jerked upwards. He didn't read on. Otherwise, they'd all be covered in puke in about 3 seconds. Motion sickness. Awesome.
"*Gulp* So, uh guys...what's up?"
He burped, but it wasn't one of those normal, "hey, look, I'm burping" kind. No, it was like "hey, look, I'm...oh, God, there's hurl in my throat!!" Not too pleasant. He never really liked elevator rides. Or rollercoasters. You'd think that after everything he'd been through, he could handle a little vertical motion. Nope. Not in the least.

"Psh, that's not a burp." Spaz inhaled and let out a massive belch that rattled the light fixture. "That's a burp." He gave Brian a satisfied grin.

"You're both idiots..." Kali rolled her eyes, moving away from Brian instinctivly. She had heard that burp before, and it had NOT ended well. Although she had to admit that Spaz's burp was impressive. "Can I see the rest of the documents? They might have something important we should read before we hit floor 10 with the psycho fragment rubber." She said, playing with a bit of string she had kept from the last elevator escapade.

Spaz glared angrily at Kali, but then a malicious grin spread slowly across his face. He put his hands on Brian's shoulders and slowly turned his nauseated friend in Kali's direction.
"You know what I could go for, boss?" He asked, "A big heapin' plate of nachos. Mmm, can't you just picture the melted cheese running down those tasty, salty chips? Ooh, and some salsa on top, so delicious and tangy and spicy." Spaz began bouncing on his toes, causing the elevator car to wobble up and down slightly as it rose, encouraging Brian to let loose his lunch in Kali's direction.

"Urp...nachos? Oh, God...ECHHHHHH!!"
Brian threw the documents behind him as he hurled in Kali's general direction. It was pretty gross...and could be lethal...
