Ian didn't say anything for a long time. When he spoke, he was calm. (Just another thing Cara loved about Ian, he could compose himselves in the most difficult and awkward situations).

"Why? Did you find that out?"

Cara shook her head. "No. And Dan . . ." She paused, shuddering. "He was just wheeling around on his stupid skates, waving at us. The man wasn't stupid. He knew!"

Hamilton spoke up, his voice loud in Cara's ear. "No, Cara, he didn't know. He's a hacker. He stares at screens all day. He's an idiot in the real world."

"Wow." Cara said sarcastically. "Thanks. I guess I'm an idiot in the real world. too."

"No." Amy said, also speaking up. "Cara, you've been helpful to us in so many ways."

"And that's not what I meant." Hamilton said. "But this is this guy's job. He like . . . does it for . . . like his living."

Cara snorted. "And because I don't it means I'm not an idiot?"

Hamilton didn't say anything.

Ian cut in. "Cara, you're a genius. And Hamilton, I know you were trying to cheer Cara up, but it didn't work."

"Hey!" Ham sputtered.

Dan cut in. "Guys, that guy is still sitting in the park, just staring at his phone like he just discovered something monumental."

Cara jumped. "Where is he? Tell me exactly! Maybe I can hack him!" She whipped out her phone and began punching in codes, her fingers flying over the keypad, like a skilled pianist on his piano.

"Got him!" She said a moment later. Then she groaned. "Dan, the man is looking at pornography." She looked closer at the picture and then shuddered. "But guys . . . I . . ." She cleared her throat.

"What is it?" Ian demanded. "Leak."

Jonah cleared his throat, making Cara jump in surprise. "Ian, how many people do you have on here?" She asked, while Jonah said, "Ian, I think the word you're looking for is 'spill'."

"Precisely what I said." Ian said. "And Cara, I only have top agents on here, all one hundred and five of them."

Cara choked. "You're kidding, right?" What an adorable idiot.

"Of course I'm kidding, woman!" Ian roared. "Now tell us what's so important."

Cara paled instantly. "Amy . . . I . . . I'm sorry?"

"Why?" Amy said.

"Because!" Cara shrieked. "These are pictures of you and . . ." Cara cleared her throat. "Ham."

"What?" Amy yelped.

"What?" Ham growled.

"What?" Dan yelled. "You will find this man and kill him. And post pictures of him naked online. While he's dead."

No one said anything. The silence dragged on.

"Uh . . . Dan?" Amy said. "What do you look at online?"

Cara could almost see Dan jump. "Nothing . . . I mean, it was all over the place. You know that guy, that creepy one that killed woman and posted . . ."

Cara cut him off. "That's enough Dan. I know what you're talking about. Trust me, the deep web is not a safe place to be."

Ian cleared his throat. "How do you know what Hamilton looks like naked?" Ian asked, sounding as if he had a frog in his throat.

"I don't!" Cara yelled. "I mean . . . I do now, but . . ."

Dan broke in. "Guys. We need to meet. Face to face."

"Yeah." Jonah said. "I wanna see those pictures."

"Absolutely not!" Hamilton and Amy yelled.

"Yeah!" Dan yelled. "No one is seeing those pictures." Dan paused. "Hey . . . Amy? How'd that man get those pictures unless you and Ham . . ." He gagged.

Realization dawns. Cara thought, smirking, even though she knew no one could see her. "Yeah, Amy. Where'd this happen?"

Ham and Amy were silent.

"Yam." Dan said.

"What the . . ." Ian said. "We were talking about Amy sleeping with Hamilton. Why are you talking about a sweet edible tuber?"

"Ham and Yam." Dan said. Amy and Ham have the same two basic letters, a and m. The H is Ham is in the front, so I moved the Y in Amy to the front too and now you have two foods. Ham and Yam."

Amy groaned. "My brother is a dork."

Dan groaned. "My sister slept with a Tomas."

"Hey!" Ham said. "Is that an insult?"

"Yes." Ian snapped. "Cara, where are you? I'm coming, and so is the rest of the team."

"Yo." Jonah complained. "How come we have to move and she gets to stay where she is?"

"Because." Dan said. "Ian looooves her. I bet there's a picture of them on that site too." Cara's heartbeat picked up, just like it always did whenever someone mentioned that Ian liked her.

"I, for your information," Ian said. "Have not touched her." He paused. "Except for that one time. In the car. In the dark. With the stars overhead. She was wearing that neat bikini until I took-"

"TMI, Ian." Cara said, interrupting. The rest of the Cahills didn't need to know about the one time she'd slept with Ian. A time that was sacred to her.

No one said anything.

"What's t-m-i?" Ian asked, breaking the silence.

Dan groaned. Cara heard a slap and assumed it was Dan smacking his forehead. "Too Much Information, Brit."

"Well at least I'm not an American git!" Ian yelled. He took a deep breath and spoke normally. "Cara, where are you?"

"That café we passed a while ago." She said. "Leonard's? You know?"

Ian groaned. "That place? It smells like McDonalds on a day without electricity."

"Great. Ian. Just great." Amy said. "I'm coming, Cara. I need to see those pictures."

Don't ask where this came from. (my mind is a horrible place)

SO... thanks to GB09 for reviewing! Um... honestly, to answer your questions... I have read farther than Unstoppable. Currently, I'm savoring the last book ever *cries* in the 39 Clues series, Outbreak and... I guess ... over the previous series (Outcast one, what's that called? I know it's like Mission Whatever for the books but I don't remember what the series is called. I'm so bad. Kill me) Anyway, over the last series Carian has really grown on me.

And I know I've been so prejudiced against it. And I know I've hated on it. And I know I've hated on those who have written it. (Star, Choc, I'm soooooo sorry, lk, I am such a hypocrite, pls forgive me!)

And... THIS IS NOT MY NEW OTP. As I'm sure many of you know, I am a multi-shipper. As in I ship Amian, Jamy, Evamy, Hamead, Jonead, Jonellie (GOOOO JONELLIE!) Nellie/Sammy (what's that ship called, Sellie? Nammy? NelSam? lol) DanIan, um... hang on, let me think,,,,,, Natan,,,,, Amy/Natalie,,,,, um,,,,,, Atticus/Natalie um,,,,, Pheonix/Natalie, Alistair/ Irina and Hope/Vikram so yeah... as you can see,,, I'm kind of weird, loving ships that contrast with each other. And now... I can add Carian to that list.

I'm sorry I have been prejudiced in the past. And I will acknowledge that I have been a jerk. But hopefully y'all can forgive me?

And also just to say this again, this is not my OTP.

My one true pairing is always, and will always be, Amian.

Call me a freak for shipping two ships that totally contrast and destroy each other, but this is Addict you're talking about, ok?

And also... wow, what the heck that is a long author's note. I'll shut up now.

Please review, and don't hate, please. (although I certainly deserve it, posting a story celebrating the worst possible ship ever...)
