Erica was messing with my hair as I was walking around looking out for trouble. She was still on my back. I really didn't mind this at all.

"Ben, there's a whole crowd North East" Erica whispered.

"Thank you " I responded.

"anything for you at anytime" Erica said.

I walked over to the big group. I saw someone in the middle. That someone looked familiar.

"Erica who is that" I asked her.Erica didn't respond. Her grip on me tightened. It tightened in a protective way and in a way calmly.

"Dane" Erica whispered. I nodded" Walk towards the crowd"

I did so.

"We stand for freedom!!!!!! We stand for saving the world!!!!! All those people who can't help themselves, we help them!!!!!! We want revenge on the rich!!!! Come and join me!! My crew and me" Dane said.

Erica slid down my back and stood next to me" What is this all about"

"That's what I was going to ask you Erica. You know stuff like that" I replied. In return Erica replied with punching me."Stay here" I told Erica.

I ran around and found Catherine. I silently stood next to her for a few minutes.

"She has the warmest heart ever when she's with you" Catherine said.

"Huh" I asked.

"Erica. She feels comfortable around you" Catherine said.

I turned towards Catherine with a serious face"That's not why I'm here. Catherine, Dane is here"

Catherine's eyed went wide and she started running. I ran before her so she knew where to go.

I ran back exactly where I left Erica. She wasn't there. I told Catherine where Erica was standing.

"Looking for Erica" I heard a voice ask. 

I turned around just be greeted by Ashley Sparks. She had a big grin on while holding a gun to Erica's head. 

I walked closer to Erica and grabbed her hand. Ashley turned the safety off of the gun and then kicked Erica in the back releasing her also.

Erica fell into my arms. I wrapped my arms tightly around her. 

"What do you want" I demanded.

Erica whispered into my ear" We need to go back to Australia. We have to get to Bondi Beach. Fast"

Ashley then replied back to me" Since, I like you. I gave Erica back to you. But, you better not get all up in our business. Also, remember next time I'm not going to be as careful with your  precious girlfriend " Ashley then disappeared.

Erica looked up at me" We need talk privately " Erica said sternly.

I nodded. I held her hand and we started walking with Catherine following us. Catherine then left us to go rally everyone else up, while Erica and I walked to the car. 

"This is a trap. Being here is a trap" Erica said. "Dane is here to confuse us. But, at the same time he is getting money. He is tricking others into following his lead. They have to pay to be apart of the group. That is all I know. I didn't listen to you and I did some scooping around and heard Ashley talk with Dane" 

I nodded. I sat in the car my arm around Erica. "So, we need to go back to Sydney  Australia" I asked.

"Yeah, they are apparently going to do a protest about something there in a week" Erica said. 

The others came into the car. I still saw Vena glare bullets at Erica as Erica simply smiled. 

Erica opened her computer and started typing. She was typing vigorously. "Erica. Chill and take a break. We're almost at the hotel" I said taking the computer away from Erica. Erica frowned and leaned onto me.

We got back to the hotel and Erica and I went upstairs to our room. Erica took the computer from me and set it on the desk so we both could read it as she was typing. "Stop" I said standing up from the bed. Erica stopped.

I looked closer into the screen. Edna Evergreens. "The first is Dane. He is trying to fool with our minds" I said. Unscramble Edna and you get Dane.

Erica nodded impressed I noticed that and not her. "So, this website is telling us everything we already know. There is gonna be a freedom protest. But, what will that do for their plans" Erica asked.

"Check the list of people coming" I said pointing at the link saying who is coming.

We scrolled through. My god it was long. Erica kept writing things down. We got to the end of the list and didn't realize anything about the names. "Aha" Erica said.

"What" I asked her. 

"Not sure if you noticed but every now and then there was a person with a number in the top left corner of their name. Put them together and it gives us the time for the protest and I ran a search through the computer on the numbered people. I got nothing from that but these names look well, fake" Erica replied.

"Why would they just put the website up that easily. Anyone can get in" I said.

Erica pondered that for some time. She simply shrugged to me. "Your the smart genius " Erica laughed.

"Not funny" I said. "It sort of is" Erica said

"Are you on drugs" I asked avoiding her response.

Erica fell to the floor laughing.  "I'm taking that as a yes. Erica did you drink anything" I asked her. 

"A beer. 2 ice creams and a blow pop. The guy gave it to me when we were in the back room" Erica laughed.

Ugh! That stupid boy getting his hands over her. I shook the idea out of my head.

"When was the last time you actually had that much sugar" I asked Erica. She jumped up seeming energetic.

She replied while doing jumping jacks. "When I was 9" Erica replied. I smacked my head on the desk.

Erica was having a sugar rush and laughing. This is no help. I realized the time. This is no good. 

I wrapped my arms around her waist as she kept laughing. I lifted her up and put her on the bed. I took her shoes off and mine and set them together. Erica laid down and so did I.

The bed was shaking from Erica laughing.

She rolled over to me and made herself comfortable on top of me. It was almost like she was drunk.

"Get some sleep Erica"
