1. Chapter 1

Joe Solomon POV

I pulled into the driveway of my mansion, returning from a mission in Malaysia, taking down a rogue CIA agent. I had left Grant, Cammie, Zach, Bex, Macey, Liz, and Jonas alone for 5 weeks, since Rachel was in Buenos Aires hunting down a terrorist group. I could only hope they hadn't killed each other yet. The kids, I mean. Rachel can handle herself. Taking a deep breath, I turned my key and stepped through the door. "I'm ho-" I was unable to continue, due to the fact that I was put in the famous Baxter chokehold, which by the way, is just as unpleasant as they say, if not more. "Oh! Joe, its you! Sorry about that." a familiar british accent exclaimed. "Nice to see you too, Bex." I wheezed, "Now, would you mind letting me go?"

"oh yeah, sorry Solomon." she apologized, while releasing my neck. "It's alright. Now, is everyone still alive?" I asked. It would be a miracle if Macey and Zach had made it through 2 weeks together without killing each other. Bex opened her mouth to speak when a very angry looking Macey came running in, pummeling a screaming Zach with a pillow. "OH MY GOD! THIS CHICK IS INSANE!" Zach yelled, while trying to grab the pillow from Macey's hands. Just as I was about to ask what the heck was going on, Cammie came running in screaming, "MACEY MCHENRY! DROP THE PILLOW OR I WILL DUMP ALL YOUR MAKEUP IN THE GARBAGE, WHILE GRANT AND NICK FORCE YOU TO WATCH!"

Macey dropped the pillow almost immediately, all her anger replaced by a look of sheer terror. "You wouldn't." she said. "Wouldn't I?" Cammie asked, raising her eyebrows, as if daring her to challenge her. " Alright, Goode. You got lucky this time." Macey said, glaring at Zach as she walked away. " What the heck did you do to make her attack you?" I asked. " All I did was move her magazine off a chair, onto the table so I could sit down. Next thing I know, she's whacking me with a pillow, screaming something about me wrinkling the pages!" Zach explained. I chuckled. Macey and her magazines. Bex and her knives. Liz and her laptop. Cammie and her mint chocolate chip ice cream. I guess everyone has something they love.
