"Mike!! Mike!" I yelled.

There was no Mike nor Andrew. I ran out of the room and the house. I held out my gun even though I might miss ok I will probably miss fine I will miss. But, I can try.

I searched the area.

"Mmmmm!!!!!!!" I heard someone yell. I followed the sound to a tree with a tree house.

There I found Mike gagged up. He pointed towards the street. I looked over there and got his.message. I saw Andrew limping down the street. Mike looked fine so the blood was probably Andrew's blood.

"I'll be back" I said. Mike.nodded. I ran down the street and caught up to Andrew. He ran again. I did my shooting a different way this time.

I calculated when I shot where it would go when I missed so I aimed for the back for it to hit the leg. It worked.

Andrew fell to the ground. I dragged him along and brought him to the house and told Rebecca to watch Andrew.

I ran back to Mike and untied him and ungagged him.

"Dude! What took so long" Mike exclaimed.

"Sorry, I had other things I had to deal with" I replied.

Me and Mike ran back to the house. Catherine was standing there waiting for us" George is going to go.to CIA prison and we will check on him each day to make.sure if he is there and we will have a camera that no one will.know about." Catherine said"Now, since we.aren't in America we are shipping George our and letting Cyrus deal with hi."

We both nodded and walk into the house.

 I went back to Crystal and Vena. "Hussell's are cleared from Erica. So, their parents wanted to stay with their kids and love them with all their heart" Vena said. I smiled.

I touched her arm and she was freaked out about things.

I can see that she was abused but I guess that the same thing happen with her parents as did Rebecca.

Me and Erica then went to interrogate the Duncans.

Henry has a younger sister and brother.

Cathy Duncan 10 years old. Strawberry blonde hair. Green eyes.

Paul Duncan 9 years old. Brown hair and green eyes.

"The kids are cleared. Not the parents. So the people we have in this house that aren't cleard is Andrew Duncan and Abigail Duncan and George Johnson." I stated to everyone.

I pulled Erica aside. "What's the plan" I asked.

"We can't leave these people unguarded and sinc we blew our cover we don't need parents so we could have Vena's dad and Agent Mallard go home with George,.Abigail and Andrew and they can drop the.off to Cyrus. While they are doing that we can wait for them to do that in case there is any trouble and after that we can go to Sydney" Erica said.

"Good idea" I replied. I felt Erica's warm hand brush against mine. We were alone. I haven't felt this way with her since awhile a lone with her. I wanted to kiss her. Her eyes looked like they were begging me to kiss her. She was standing still and smiling. I have gained the strength to want to kiss her again. 

I did.

I pulled her closer to me. I grabbed her face and set my lips on hers. They were soft and warm. She wrapped her arms around my neck as she kissed back. I pulled Erica closer to me so then we were pressed against each other. She has a warm body.

Just as we pulled away Vena and Hailey walked in.

"AVERY!" They both yelled.

"Avery your Taylor's older sister. Now, explain" Hailey said with fire in her eyes.

"Taylor you know I like you. Now, what do you like in her and not in me" Vena asked pointing towards Erica.

I scratched the back of my neck. "Wearen'treallyTaylorandAveryGallway.WeareBenjaminRipleyandEricaHale.Me,Vena,Erica,weallareinalovetraingle." I said not taking a breath.

"Well it seems like you chose a side of the triangle already" Vena said.

"You keep on saying that" I said.

"Well, it keeps on becoming true" Vena replied.

"Taylor you were lying to me. Or should I say Ben" Hailey said. So she did get the no take a breath message.

I went up to Vena and kissed her with the lips. I went to Hailey " As a spy sort of you would know the protocols we have to take. So, it.was hard to get us here. You should also.know sometimes a spy has to lie to others.  I hate lying to people who are innocent " I said.

"He's not lying" Vena and Erica said.

I went to.Erica.and see her hands in mine" Erica. I'm sorry. I can't be in this triangle anymore. If there is a side that's gonna fall let it be my side. I can't deal with this" I said tears dripping.

I truly love all of them. But, to get a heart your gonna have to break one so I let the other hearts live to break mine.

I looked at all three of the girls" I'm sorry. I am not looking for a relationship for awhile epically on this mission right now. "I took another glance at all of them" I'm sorry. To a love triangle or trapezoid there will always be at the least 1 heart that has to back out and break. That's mine"

"Ben you can't do that" Vena said.

"I just did" I then left to the other part of the group.

They saw my face."Bro you wanna talk about it" Mike asked pointing upstairs.

"Um...I will go talk to the girls" Zoe said uncomfortable.

There was the adults and lots of kids down here still here"We'll just go into the kitchen and make a snack maybe a picnic. People need to losen up. We need to get troubles put aside just for a picnic. Zoe dear tell the girls we're ALL going to have a picnic weather they like it or not. Mike, Ben finish talking fast" Catherine said.

She opened the kitchen door and let others in. They piled into the kitchen.

Me and Mike decided to stay down here.

"Mike! I don't know what to do" I said.

"Um...tell me what happened" Mike said. I told him every little derail."Bro, all I can say is go with your heart. Also, your going to be in heated water"

"Thanks Mike. So helpful" I said sarcastically pacing around the room.

Mike walked up to me and set his hand on my shoulder" I don't know what to do for once. Ben this is a bigger girl problem then what I am capable to fix" Mike said.

"But...but, you'd the Mike that knows things like these" I argued back.

"Ben, your situation has many flaws and problems and pros and cons to each person that I can't fix" Mike said.

"Well, can you tell me what they are then" I asked him bitting my inside part of my jaw.

"No, your on your own" Mike said and left.

He just left me all confused and stuff. I walked up to the room the girls were in and started listening to their conversation.

"So who actually won't back down for Ben" Zoe asked. She waited for a second."You all want Ben!!!??" 

"yes" Vena, Hailey and Erica said in union.

"Why" Zoe asked.

"Personality and looks" They said together.

"Well, I don't know what. You guys will have to figure this out. Mow come on. We're having a group picnic and there is no way out of it" Zoe.said.

I ran to the kitchen so the girls didn't know I was listening.

I sat in a chair. "When are we leaving" I asked.

"When the girls come in" Catherine replied.

"Who's staying" I asked.

"We will" Vena's parents said.

"Well that solves that problem" Rebecca said.

The girls walked in and Zoe.went to Mike and they were whispering. Vena, Hailey and Erica all glared at me. I backed away towards Uncle Grant.

"Ben you can't hide from them for the rest of your life" Uncle Grant whispered to me.

"But I can right now" I replied in a high pitch tone. Catherine looked at the situation. "We're gonna have to split into 4 cars" Catherine said.

"Um...how about Grant, Mike, Ben, Henry, Sammy, Liam" Dorothy said. We all nodded. "Hailey, Catherine, Erica, Zoe and I will take the smallest car"

"Then,  I can take. Dorothy, Kayla, Tommy, Sarah, Kenny, Amy" Tiffany said.

Amy was Maya's mother.

Maya had Crystal, Douglas, Charles and Penelope as younger siblings.

"I can take everyone else well out of my kids and I can take Freedie's parents" Oscar said. Maya's dad.

"We're gonna need one more car. Henry's siblings" I said.

"We can take them" Anthony Heke's parents said.

Everyone nodded. People grabbed things for the picnic and piled out of the house and into cars leaving Vena's parents here with our 'prison' as in people we need to take to CIA prison. I was avoiding Erica and Vena. I didn't really mind Hailey. We could be friends but I don't really like her more then a friend.

I got into the car. It was silent when we were driving.

I figured that I could get something good.to listen to from the ear piece Erica gave me at the begging of the mission.

I put it in my ear as people weren't looking.

"I think me and Ben should just be friends" I heard Hailey say through the ear piece. Looks like Erica left her thing on.

"So, he's mine" Vena and Erica said."She never said.Ben was yours"

"Girls!" Dorothy raised her voice."What's so important about Ben"

I heard everyone gasp in the car.

"Everything" I heard everyone in the car say. 

"Ok ok but she mean as a boy. Why do you like him" Catherine said saving Dorothy.

"Mother! You know exactly" Erica said.

"Catherine, this is a triangle that has to fix itself" I heard Zoe say.

"Right" Vena backed up.

"That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking personality wise" Catherine replied.

"He's kind, opposite of selfish, caring,lovely, funny, he also knows exactly how to break my ice walls, humble, generous, likeable, when he judges stuff he isn't hard about it, his adorable smile, trust worthy and we all know how much it is hard for me to trust, reliable, breath taking, amazing, friendly, thoughtful and considerate. There are many many more great ways to describe him. " Erica said.

I never knew Erica was that nice and would compliment me like that. That was so nice.

Vena also had along list but it didn't mean ask much to me as what Erica said.

"We're here" Uncle Grant said. I took the ear piece out and put it in my pocket and followed Mike out the car.

The girls were getting out and smiled at me. Mike set his arm around me" Buddy, I never would of thought of you to be a ladies men but you seem to be"

I nodded. I grabbed blankets for people to sit on. I placed them all in the grass as Catherine an the other adults were setting food down.

People started coming to sit down. Lots of us were spread out avoiding each other. I stood up.

"Everyone I need you to pay attention" I said setting my grapes and crackers and cheese down. I waited for.everyone to look at me. They all were eating. Catherine brought her yummy blueberry muffins."I mean it. Can't we just forget about all the drama right now and all the bickering. This is a time we can actually relax a little bit. Do we get downtime on missions often. No. So, why not take advantage of the downtime as have no to have fun. I'm just asking for today. This picnic we all have fun and act like there is no drama or anything between our group. I just wanna have fun and let you guys have fun"

Everyone was chewing and.after they were done there were.lots of sure, yeah I agree and find.

Mike stood next to me" Now let's pretend there is nothing wrong and let's put things behind us for right now and have fun"

I looked at Mike" I litteritly just said that" I said.

"I know but my version was shorter" Mike said. Everyone laughed.

People started moving closer to each other enjoying the time.

Us kids.finished eating and the adults stayed with the food.

We started playing around with each other.

"Tag. Your it" Erica said.tagging me.

I.turned around."Ugh" I said and I chased after Erica. She was running all over the place.

Mike ran next to me" Mike. I'm it. But, I need your help. What if you act like you have it now and Erica will run the opposite way from you towards me. Then I tag her" I said.

"Genius" Mike replied.

Mike went into action. Erica ran towards me. I tackled her down and me.and Erica rolled all over the grass."Tag your it" I said getting up.

"What" She asked.

"Mike never touched you or said tag your it. We had a plan" I said. Erica had fire in her eyes as I ran away from her.

"You little rascal" Erica said with a little bit of teasing in her voice. I smiled and Erica ran after me. I used other people so Erica tagged them and not me.

I was hiding behind Vena. "Vena" I said. She looked at me" Yeah" She said.

"Wanna play frisbee. I'm getting tired of this" I said trying FL.catch my breath. Vena nodded.

We went over to our own place and played frisbee.

The other kids starred joining in.

It was a great time. U loved putting all the emotions and drama behind. This was so much fun.

Until my phone rung. 

I held a finger up to tell everyone I was on the phone and to pause.

I picked up the call.

"Hello" I.said.

"Hello Benjamin. Meet us now 3 miles from your picnic. You wanna come" The voice on the other end said.

"Why should I" I asked.

Everyone heard my end of the phone and they all started getting worried.

"Benjamin we have your parents at gun point. So come, Now!!" The person on the other end replied.

"Who are you" I asked concerned.

"You mean. Who are we.

Jawa and Chip"
