"Lizzie, what's a 'Code Blue'?"
"Oh! No worries Bex. That just means someone's attempting to hack my computer. No one can though I have very intricate codes to protect it."
"That's our girl!" Macey praised, bumping Liz's shoulder sitting down at the table with them, "So, plans A through J failed on to-"

"Hmm," Liz mused, "they got through three walls. That's a bit rare."
"Shouldn't you see who's hacking you?"
"It's probably NASA or the Russian Embassy. They never get through though; it's nothing of concern. Now: plan K."
"Right," Bex said slowly giving her tiny southern friend a puzzled look, "Since we've practically combed through over half of the United States' regions. I think we need to consider global. It makes sense I mean she went to Ro-"

"EEK!" Liz screeched jumping up and running to her computer, "This is NOT good."
"What Liz?" the two girls asked in tandem.
The small genius began muttering to herself typing furiously on the keyboard, "Impossible…how'd they get past the…there's no way they could have figured out…man they're fast…why cant I…how did they…what did they…must have transfigured the…how'd they solve the formula!?"
"Liz? You can track whoever this is right?"
"NO! I can't they work at a pace that's inhuman, and no computer system has a formula created yet that could beat my provisions. Whoever they are they're good and-"

"- and they're in my computer"
Suddenly a Word document opens on her screen and begins to show a message, typed letter by letter:
Hello Elizabeth. How are you today?
Who are you?
That information is irrelevant. For now let's just call me a friend. Deal?
NO! Who are you? How did you jack my computer? And what do you want?
I told you: a friend. I have a message. And to give you said message.
Yeah right. I don't believe you for a second
Hello Macey. Well then we have a mutual friend who will be terribly disappointed… tsk tsk. I told her you wouldn't trust me.
If you don't tell us who you are and this supposed message is from this second we will hunt you down and bring you within an inch of your life!
Nice to meet you too Rebecca. I have a message from Cameron Morgan.
SHE'S ALIVE?
And well too. However it is unsafe for her to travel at the moment. So she has asked me to hack your personal files and give you a message.
What is it?
First I must ask you to get the following people in the room: Rachel Morgan-Solomon, Joseph Solomon, Abigail Cameron, Edward Townsend, Zachary Goode, Grant Mitchell, and Jonas Daniels. I will wait…
Okie dokie!
"Liz?"
"If this person waits long enough, I can trace them!" As Bex gives Liz a high-five, cheering until Macy says gravely, "Or not" she points to the screen to see more words being typed by the hacker:
Don't bother trying to trace my signal. For about five more minutes it'll tell you I'm in Hong Kong then it will tell you I'm in Caracas, Venezuela. Now, gather the troops Ms. Sutton.
The girls send a mass text to the people who were listed by the mystery "friend". All were there within the hour; all had stayed near there in case any information came through. As they all sat Liz Began messaging the hacker again.
Okay we are all here.
Perfect. In a few moments an Audio clip will appear on your hard drive. Listen carefully it will delete itself after being listened to.
Just as they'd been told the audio file appeared on Liz's drive. After clicking on it, a familiar voice filled the small two room apartment Macy and Liz shared.
"Hey everyone. To start let me say that I am safe and sound. A new friend rescued me and we've been hiding out I would have come back sooner but certain…situations arose. I can tell you that in just a couple weeks I will be returning, with my new friend, and a surprise or two. Now for a couple individual messages: Mom, I'm so sorry I know this is like going through Hell a second time, but please believe me – I'm ok. You taught me well, all of you adults here did. Yes, even Townsend. Joe, you taught me the most about surviving and choosing who to trust. So trust that you gave me the tools I need. I also want to thank you, I'd bet my life that you're the one that kept mom sane this past year. Now Zach: stop. Quit blaming yourself, you did everything you could, while still doing what you had to. So do me a favor and stop thinking about different things you could have done. I probably would have killed you if you had. I love you all. See you soon!"
And then she was gone. Rachel and Abby had tears streaming down their face while Joe and Townsend wrapped their arms around them. Every one stared at the now blank computer screen.
"Well," began Bex hoarsly, "guess I'll be staying for a few more weeks."
A/N: Now usually I hate this but I have come around. I feel like these give you a bit of an insight into the author's personality. Let me know what you think so far!
