Amy's POV:
"DAN! Get out here so we can start class," I could hear Dan mumble something though the door. "Fine then don't get up. But when the sense gets here I'll tell him you were too tired to earn your black belt today!" I started walking down the hall toward the stairs, when I heard Dan come running down the hall toward me.
"WAIT! WHEN DOES THE SENSE GET HERE?" When he jumped in front of me I almost died of laughter. He was wearing a black ninja outfit.
At least he left his nun chuck in his room. Nellie is going to be mad when she finds out Dan broke her signed All Time Low album.
"I was joking Dan! You know we're working on kidnapping this week! Now let's get started. There's an expert Lucian downstairs waiting for us," I saw Dan wince at the word Lucian.
"Great. I get to spend the day with your snobby boyfriend and his snobby sister. I'm ecstatic!" I blushed, and opened my mouth to retort, but he beat me to it. "I need some food. I am not dealing with the Cobra's without food," he rubbed his tummy to emphasize.
Dan? Hungry? Who would've thought?
"Dan he is not my boyfriend and not the Lucian I'm talking about. She's some older agent, Kat… or Kate…or something like that." Dan nodded and turned down the hall to the kitchen.
We had made Grace's mansion into a training arena. The halls were littered with traps, and secret passageways. Nobody knew the house like me and Dan though. For instance when we get to the end of the hall there was going to be a set of 17 darts to deflect and 5 ninja stars to catch.
Which for us was no longer a problem.
Dan looked over to me when we were about 5 feet from the trap and I nodded. We both continued to walk as if nothing was wrong. The darts came first, which I and Dan caught without trouble. The Ninja stars were Dan's favorite. When the first one came at me I jumped and caught it before it stabbed me in my side. Dan did the same for the one aimed for his head. But then the trap did something new. The last three stars all came toward me. I quickly bent over so the top one couldn't my head and Dan went behind me to catch it. The next two headed for my heart I grabbed one and deflected the other with my nail.
"Amy! That was so cool! You can totally be my ninja sidekick!" Dan started making fighting noises and kicking around the air. I rolled my eyes. Sure, I'd been practicing without Dan. When the time came I needed to be able to protect him, no matter the cost. And if that meant a few scratches and some poison darts? So be it.
"Yes Amelia. Bravo. But that last dart was too close of a call. You must be a little more careful," a clear British voice rang out. I looked up and saw a girl about my age with shoulder length brown hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a black dress suit and black heels.
Are all Lucian children models?
"Hello, Cahill's. My name is Katelyn. I'm going to be your teacher on the Lucian ways. Starting with breaking and entry and kidnapping," she smirked. Just like the Kabra's. I looked over at Dan, who had his mouth hanging open. I betting his thoughts were, she's preeeeeeeeety… typical Dan.
"Hi Katelyn," I paused.
Now is not the time to stutter Amy…
I regained my composure and held out my hand, "please call me Amy. And that's my brother Dan." Katelyn looked over at Dan a blushed.
Oh god.
"I know your names, Amy. Though I have specific instructions from a certain Kabra to address that one as Daniel. Not Dan," I smiled at her and she continued. "But he's not as repulsive as she said. Please call me Kat." I nodded and we headed into the kitchen, with one thought on my mind
The Kabra's know she's here.
Or rather…
Ian. Ian knows she's here.
LESSON 1 DISARMING SECURITY
Dan's POV
She's pretty.
Not as pretty as Natalie.
Did I really just think that?
Yes Dan. You did.
Kat had been here for 3 days now and we had been doing breaking into homes and buildings simulations. Which were…boring. But not as boring as our Ekat lessons 2 weeks ago. I could hear the teacher now "The first 30 digits of pi…. Dan! Can you tell me the first 30 digits of pi?" What kind of question is that? I don't need to know the first 30 digits of pi when I'm kicking a Vespers butt. All I need to know is how to ninja him to the FLOOR! Me and Amy were sitting in the classroom (which was next to the gym, which was next to the library, which was next to the pool, and they were all on the 4th floor).
Kat was giving a lesson on…something. I wasn't really listening. Not that I needed to with my ninja skills and all…
"…Which will give you access to the control panel to get into the house. Now that I've explained, you try," Kat stood at the front of the room holding a security panel. "Now unlock your doors while I time you. Get ready. Set. GO!" And she pushed the timer button.
Crap. I didn't listen to any of the lesson! I looked down at my security panel. Never mind. No problem. I just need to disable it, ok wire B goes with wire D…
Cake.
Until the security panel went off. Amy and Kat cracked up, knowing I hadn't been paying any attention.
So much for ninja skills.
LESSON 2 POISON
Amy's POV
This lesson reminded me so much of the clue hunt it hurt. Katelyn was having us make, memorize, and use thousands of different types of poisons and they're antidotes. Just looking at my paper made me sick.
(A/N The first column is poison the second is it's antidote and these are Amy's notes, you wouldn't be able to read, let alone understand Dan's, and Amy writes pretty)
paracetamol (acetaminophen)
N-acetylcysteine
vitamin K anticoagulants, e.g. warfarin
vitamin K
opioids
naloxone
Iron (and other heavy metals)
desferrioxamine, Deferasirox or Deferiprone
benzodiazepines

ethylene glycol
ethanol or fomepizole, and thiamine
methanol

Isoniazid
Pyridoxine
Atropine
Physostigmine
Thallium
Prussian blue
Hydrofluoric acid
Calcium Gluconate
Anticholinergics
Cholinergics
I looked over at Dan, who was mixing poisons together. Scary I know.
"I AM PIOSON MASTER!" Dan suddenly screamed. Then he looked up and over at Katelyn "Kat? I don't have to drink this do I?" He had an uneasy look on his face.
"Depends Dan, what did you mix?" Kat smirked at me and I held back a laugh. Dan looked down at his notebook and read aloud.
"Hydrofluoric Acid and Calcium Gluconate!" Dan smiled at himself and I looked down at my paper. Dan's in trouble.
"DAN! THOSE TWO CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT! THEY ARE OPOSITES! ONE IS THE POISON AND THE OTHER IS THE ANTIDOTE!" Dan looked up at the board and found the two liquids. And sheepish look fell across his face.
So much for a poison master, I win.
LESSON 3 LYING
Dan's POV
Kat was sitting across from me in the class room after she sent Amy out into the hall so she could explain something to me.
"Dan I'm going to give Amy 5 things to say and I want you to pick out the lie. And I'll tell you if you're right." I smiled and nodded as Kat let Amy back in and told her to read off 5 things about her on a paper in a monotone no matter what they said.
"I have not the whole Chronicles of Narnia series. I hate it when people chew loudly. I'm in love with Ian Kabra. I have had more than one crush at once. The most frequently played song on my iPod is Ghost of You by Selena Gomez." Amy looked up at Kat with a questioning look on her face.
"Alright Dan, whatcha got?" I smiled at Amy and Kat
"Ok. Well I say that out of those 5 statements is that she has had more than one crush at once. Because 2 I know are true and when she said that one the tone of her voice changed and she put a hand in front of her face." Amy blushed deeply and looked down. And Kat turned to me and smiled.
"THAT'S RIGHT DAN! WOOOHOOO!" Kat starting doing one of my weird happy dances
"HAHAHA AMY! That means you're in love with Ian!" I said laughingly, but then I realized what I had just said, "WAIT! YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH IAN?" I started chasing Amy around the mansion.
"HOW COULD YOU BE IN LOVE WITH A COBRA?" I screamed
LESSON 4 WEAPONS
Amy's POV
I wasn't too excited about this class the last one was humiliating. But that was before I got to the classroom.
"Amy! Here is a dart gun. Hold it like this and pull the trigger when you're ready to shoot. BEGIN!" Kat explained very quickly. Very helpful Kat. Very.
I loaded the dart into the gun and pulled back the trigger. Bull's-eye! YES! That extra training I did with the Tomas teacher really helped. I looked over at Dan and saw he had gotten on the outer rings of the target and Kat was now helping him center his shot. And he was grinning his head off. BOYS!
LESSON 5 TORCHER
Dan's POV
This video is slowly killing me. I don't want to watch somebody be tortured! How can people stand this? The poor man was being electrocuted, beaten, having his nails and teeth pulled. I finally looked away. Amy wasn't really looking either. I could tell it reminded her of Isabel. Which killed me too. I hate that, that woman hurt my sister. It was cruel.
Madrigals were supposed to be peaceful.
Right?
Amy's POV
FINAL TEST DAY
I approached the house simulator with Dan slowly. If we both passed this test then we could 'apply our skills in the real word'.
"Dan! The house is 2 stories. So it should be easy to scale the side and get in through that top window and get in through there." I fingered my Jade necklace. Dan nodded and went to disable the security system. I started to set up my harness so I could be ready to go up when he got back.
"Amy. You can go up now," Dan came around the corner with his mini portable computer (MPC). "Be careful, I wanna pass this." I nodded and threw the grappling hook to the roof of the house.
I pulled myself closer and closer to the second floor window and looked down at Dan, who gave me a thumbs up. My arms weren't the least bit tired. I knew I owed that to Hamilton for sending me all those strengthening movie before the Tomas teacher arrived. Who, may I add, worked us to death. Which I was now thankful for.
The window was a pull apart to open, which made it a little easier for me to get in. Once I slipped inside I looked around and took in my surroundings. It was a small room that was painted red and black and had a little boy sleeping in the corner under a big V on the wall. I smiled and typed a message to Dan.
(A/N Dan's messages are in bold and Amy's are regular)
Target spotted.
Good. Now you know the objective. Get the kid, to hold as a hostage for the agents that were taken from us and get OUT.
Got it.
(A/N Ok done with messages)
I crept over to the little boy's bed and pulled out a small dart gun I now carried with me at all times. I aimed at his forearm and shot. As soon as the dart hit his arm the little boy woke up and I made sure he couldn't see me. Once he slipped into unconsciousness I put a black bandanna over his eyes and pulled him up into my arms.
As I made my way over to the window I stepped on a trip wire and an alarm went off.
Oh no.
I saw a light come on and knew I had to act fast. I motioned to Dan and he held out his arms. I quickly dropped the boy down and pulled a mask over my face just as his parents came in. They flipped the light on and I looked over at them and smiled; I slipped out the window and grabbed the rope.
Deep breaths, keep calm… calm…
And jumped.
When I hit the ground I grabbed the kid from Dan and we ran. Once we got to the end of the simulation room we dropped the kid dummy and Dan high-fived me.
"That was so cool Amy! I mean you didn't even freak out or anything!" Dan said just as the simulation went off and Katelyn came in to give us our score. "I bet Ian would be soooooooo proud," then Dan started imitating Ian, British accent and all. "Hello love! That was a nice kidnapping! Maybe you could join me and dear old mum and father for tea and a killing spree sometime!" I laughed and soon Dan and Katelyn started in too. We just laughed like that for about 5 minutes.
"Ok ok. Good news you guys passed! I'll post your final test assignment tomorrow on the board in the classroom. You'll have to apply everything you've learned with me. That includes Breaking in, kidnapping, poisons, weapons, lie diction, interrogation, sleuthing, and torture. You might want to study. This will be both physically and emotionally hard. For the both of you. And you'll want a good night's sleep! I have to go back to head quarters now. Bye Amy. Bye Dan."
Katelyn smiled and hugged the both of us and walked out of the simulation room. Dan turned to me and smiled.
"WE DID IT!" he started doing a random happy dance around the room while I just stood and stared at the place Katelyn had been standing before.
"Dan. This isn't a game. We need to practice before tomorrow. You do realize that we could get hurt…or die? She has complete reign over us now." Don't get me wrong. I liked Katelyn, but she was still a Lucian. "Let's get to work."
Katelyn's POV
"Yes sir. They come pleated the Lucian training." I repeated for what seemed like the 100th time
"Good. You know what to do correct?" I heard the auto tuned voice on the other end of the phone line loud and clear.
"Yes sir. I know the exact instructions." I then heard the dial tone. Amy and Dan were in for the time of their lives. I was sad that I had to leave, which was very un-me… But I liked Amy and Dan. They were really good kids.
I hope the assignment doesn't kill them.
Amy's POV
Me and Dan were on our way from breakfast to the classroom, practically running. We wanted those assignments. Bad. When we got to the classroom door I threw it open and looked at the bored. And what I saw made my hear hit the floor.
"Amy? Move! I wanna see the assignment! Move! Amy?" Dan pushed me out of the way a jumped inside the classroom. He, just like me, stopped and turned to look back at me. "No…"
Amy & Dan
Your final test is simple. Break into the Kabra estate and kidnap the Kabra children. Then bring them back here for the rest of your assignment. By any means necessary. That is your test.
Good luck…?
Katelyn
PS: The Kabra's know I'm here (or was) but they don't know your coming. I promise. According to them I'm still at your estate.
I have to kidnap Ian.
OOOOOOOOO Cliffhanger! Muuahhhahahahahah! Was it okay? Ian and Natalie will come in on the next chapter. Please review. This is my second 39 clues fanfic and the first one was a fail…. =[ I REALLY don't want this one to be...
