"Taylor" Erica yelled at me.

I pulled her into.another room. "Benjamin Ripley. Did you just blow cover" Erica asked!

"Yes! But, I know they were telling the truth" I said.

"Your sure it wasn't that you like Hailey!' Erica yelled at me.

" I am sure. Erica!" I said.

"You blew our cover. That is not a good spy!" Erica shouted at me. We were where the others couldn't here us.

"Well, I'm sorry that I'm not a perfect spy. Not everyone has to do things the Hale way. I know what I am doing!" I yelled at her.

There was fire in her eyes. She was ready to kill me but she likes me so she wouldn't. I heard Vena walk in.

"Ben is correct" Vena calmly said.

"Go!" Erica said.

"Stay!" I said.

"GO!"

"STAY!"

"GO!!!!!" Erica yelled over me pointing at Vena to leave.

"STAY!!. We don't need to always do Hale style. They aren't as perfect as they think and I.know that" I said" Come on Vena"

We started walking but Erica pulled me back. "What is your problem!" I asked. Vena ran out of the room.

"Really, what is my problem" Erica asked offended."You!"

It stung a lot. It hurt. Her to say that it hurt a lot.

"Me? Me!? Me?! Me!?!! Really Erica!" I asked

"You don't need to  mess with the mission. You doddle around. Your out with other people..." Erica was saying.

"This isn't jealousy is it" I asked.

Erica turned bright blowing red" You leave how I feel about you! OUT OF THIS!! We are talking about how you just uncovered a lot. They can backstab us" Erica roared in my face.

I knew I might get killed but I know Erica likes me and have you ever heard even though people might claim not to like hugs it still makes them feel less stressed and sometimes calms down.

I hugged Erica. I could feel her breathing. She looked down at me." Erica. You have to learn friends can be assets. With life you will finally learn who to trust. I can trust them. You even gave them truth serum" I calmly said looking up at those dashing ice blue eyes. 

Erica hugged me back" Fine! Anyone you trust I will learn to trust at least a little bit" Erica compromised.

I looked back up at her" You trust me fully. Right?" I asked her.

Erica gave a slight laugh" Ripley I definitely know I can trust you. You also know if you were to ever betray me I would bear the crap out of you."

It was good to see Erica laughing. I squeezed her hand and we walked back to the others.

"Is everything alright now" Ava asked.

"Yeah yes it is" I replied.

I sat in between Hailey and Ava and wrapped my arm around them both. 'The secrets out. But, we need your help taking down Boomer" I said.

"Yes! Anything to kill that organization." Dorothy said. I nodded along with the others. I stood up.

"Well we forgot to introduce everyone so I can get snacks while all of you introduce to each not her" I said walking to the kitchen.

I got to the kitchen door and heard Uncle Grant and Catherine talking. I leaned my ear on the door.

"Catherine I really like you" I heard Uncle Grant say to Catherine.

"Grant, I really like you too..." Catherine said with her crisp British accent.

"There's a but isn't there" Uncle Grant asked.

"Yeah. I don't want to ruin Benjamin and Erica's relationship cause if we got married then they would be cousins and then there would be no Berica and it would be an awkward situation for them" Catherine said.

I heard my Uncle sigh." I get it. I don't want to ruin their relationship " Uncle Grant agreed.

I then made loud footsteps to make it seem I wasn't listening to them.

I then opened the door and grabbed some food.

" Uh... Uh... What happened between you and Erica " Catherine asked.before I left.

"We have it solved" I said and left bringing people food.

I went over to Hailey and set my head on hers and swayed us. I saw her smile which I hated.

"So, we need you guys to answer our questions" I said.

Sammy nodded along with his mother and siblings.

"First, what is the ranking if Michelle in the organization" I asked.

"Top brass but more of a secretary for the top brass people" Sammy answered.

"How long have you been married" Erica asked.

"This coming anniversary would of been our 20" Dorothy replied. Erica nodded.

"Do you have anyone super close to you like best friends or something" Vena asked. 

Tommy and Ava nodded along with Hailey and Dorothy. Sammy, Sarah and Jack didn't nod.

"My best friend is Freddie Gidder. He is my age and we have been best friends since pre-school. We are in 5th grade. His parents aren't spys. They work for the Arcade series in Southern Australia" Tommy said.

I stood there thinking. Something was wrong with what he said. It then clicked.

"They are spies" I said a bit loud. Everyone's head swerved towards me." ASIS. Australian secret intelligence service" 

"Tommy who does Freddie live with" I asked.

"Aunt" Tommy replied.

"Job" Erica asked.

"Fourth grade science teacher" Tommy said. We nodded.

"Freeddie's parents are spies. Get them here now" I said to Zoe. she nodded and started calling their boss. Zoe was acting like an adult.

"I have a boyfriend and a best friend. My boyfriend is Anthony Heke. His mom has mad their family moved cause her medical insurance boss had transferred her here to help people. His dad works for any sick in school. It makes.no sense. My best friend Tracy. Her parents both work as teachers" Ava said.

"Get Anthony's parents here now" I said to Catherine. She nodded with a smile.

"I think I should recommend you to take mission lead for this one. Your already doing great" Catherine said.

"If you do make sure Erica can also lead" I said remembering Erica barely gets to do anything and get recognized so at the least I could let her help lead.

"Taylor. Remember Maya, Kayla and Henry. Their parents work for.Boomer" Hailey said.

"Yes they do. They all are in the top brass" Dorothy said.

I have been recording everything. "Get them here now for questioning. Vena, Uncle Grant and Mike make some interrogation places far away from each other. Erica and I will deal with a 'nice' welcoming. Hailey and Dorothy get the kids and siblings and parents here. Ava watch for any trouble coming from South with Sammy. Tommy, watch for any trouble coming from East. Sarah, West. Jack, North" I said

"Yes sir!" Everyone laughed.

Hailey and Dorothy got on the phone and started calling.

Erica and I stood by the door so we could knock out everyone who comes in and put them in an interrogating room/space cause we don't have enough for each individual.

"We have a nice lead on the mission"
