Madeline ran upstairs and dumped out her school backpack. She got a couple changes of clothes, accounting for different climates, and folded them neatly, placing them at the bottom of the main compartment. She ran into her bathroom and got her toothbrush and some floss, among other sundries, completely neglecting the hairbrush once again. From the pile of school things on the floor, she grabbed a notebook which was mostly blank, and her pencil case which was filled with various different types of writing implements. She grabbed a nalgene water bottle from the top of her dresser and slipped it into the netting on the side of the backpack. From her bedside table drawer she got a compass and her phone charger, briefly pondering if there would be any outlets wherever she was going. Madeline figured it was probably better to be safe than sorry.
Finally she grabbed her camera. Her parents always had a hard time finding presents for her during christmas or her birthday, but when they got Madeline her first camera, they knew they had struck gold as she ran around the house taking close-ups of everything. A few years later, they got her the newest model, that could take both video and photos at a high resolution. Her one real passion was taking pictures and filming things, documenting regular occurrences as if she was the first to ever observe them. She lived to capture those little moments in time which would be lost forever, had she not been there at the exact right moment.
All packed, she put on the backpack and walked out of her room towards the stairs. But, she stopped and ran back into her room to her bed. A white platypus plushie she had had since she was 3, somewhat ragged from the years, sat upon it. She grabbed “Bill” and ran down the stairs.
Rex was waiting at the bottom, back in his human disguise.
“All ready?” He asked.
She nodded. The Major opened the door for them and they left the house, the two agents following closely behind. Madeline hopped in the backseat of the Suburban, Rex getting in after her. One of the agents touched his ear and muttered something, and all the other agents moved from their positions in the front yard to return to the convoy of vehicles. The suburbans in front of her began to peel off down the road at timed intervals. Then Madeline and Rex's vehicle began to move down the road. She looked back at her home watching it shrink with distance, until it disappeared as the the convoy rounded a corner.
“So, Where are we going exactly?” Madeline asked.
