Hi! This is my first fanfiction ever so no yelling please. Author's notes will be written in bold. Thoughts will be italicized. Disclaimer: I do not own the 39 Clues series. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: "Messages"

Katalina's POV

"Hurry, Peter!" I hissed. I had handed him the note a minute and 15 seconds earlier and this was the longest it ever took him to aim an arrow.

"I'm going," he growled. "If I miss there's no second chance."

"I know" I replied "but we have a time limit. We have exactly 33 minutes and 18 seconds left."

"Okay, here goes." Whish! The arrow flew through the air lodging in the Kabra's hotel windowsill.

"You're sure the note was on securely, right?" I asked as we ran through the streets of Brazil just as dawn was breaking.

"Now you ask questions? When we have already done it and can't change it? Some genius you are," he said hitting my head softly.

"Hey! I'm not supposed to be a full genius. I'm only part Ekat. Now answer the question."

"Yes, the note was on securely and yes I'm sure they will find it and yes I know we have to hurry to the Deli so quit jabbering and let's go" he said answering my question and knowing what else I would say. I smiled softly "That's what happens when you work with someone for 11 years,"I thought. "Right," I said. "Let's go." And we raced to the Deli. Ephriam stood up and Pip flew over as soon as we came in.

"Took you long enough, Dweeb," Ephriam said, looking at me.

"Can it, Dork," I retorted. E. was just about to throw it in my face somehow when Peter cut in.

"We have better things to do than argue," he said.

"Such as?" E. asked.

"Such as sending Pip to Amy and Dan or discu-"

"Okay! Okay!" I shouted "We get it." Turning to Ephriam I said "Why wasn't Pip already sent?"

"I didn't know what to write on the note"

"Urghhhhh. There was no note!" I yelled.

"Oh. Then what was there?" he said. "Oh. my. word. We explained it like twenty times! We tie a band that says Marko's Deli on his leg and then we send him to their hotel!" I screamed.

"Told you so!" squawked Pip. I whirled toward Pip "If we had a cat this would never have happened," I said in the tone I used when crossing me would be very, very stupid. "Right, Kit-Kat" said Peter using the nickname they used when they were annoyed with me which proved he was going to cross me anyway. I was just about to retort when E. stepped in

"Don't we have a schedule to keep?" he said. "Here, Kat," he said using the nickname they used whenever they were trying to cool me down, "could you tear this?"

I smiled. He knew I loved to use my "nails." You see I wear gloves ALL THE TIME. My gloves have retractable claws. "Sure," I said happily. I pointed out my pointer finger nail and made a clean cut down the page. I wrote Property of Marko's Deli on then I tied it on Pip's leg.

"All right. Pip fly," said Peter "Bring back Amy and Dan." Then turning to E. and I he said "Let's go over the plan again"

Well there ends the first chapter of my new story.

Here are the ages of the characters:

Kat-15

Peter and Nellie-21

Eph-10

Amy and Ian-14

Dan and Natilie-11

Sorry about the lack of main characters. I own four characters and they require a little intro. Ian, Amy, Dan, Nellie and Natalie will all make an appearance next chapter.
