Again, thank you all so much! I'd also like to thank everyone the read, followed, and favorited so far! It really means a lot to me :)

No action in this chapter, but you do learn a little bit more so I hope you all enjoy!

Who Is James Diamond?

"So, did you get the amulet?" Logan asked as I walked into the room.

"Yeah! I wanna see it!" Carlos exclaimed, excited practically radiating off of him.

"Well, I-" I started, only to be interrupted.

"Dog! Did you get the amulet?" Gustavo asked as he walked in.

"Um… no." I said softly, waiting for the inevitable "Gustavo Meltdown".

"WHAT?!"

"Wow, less than five seconds. That's a new record." I thought to myself.

"I thought you said you knew what you were doing." Logan said, giving me a look that I knew all too well.

"Okay, I'm going to go ahead and get this over with. Logan, you were right, I was wrong." I muttered begrudgingly rolling my eyes at the satisfied look on his face.

"Where… is… the amulet?" Gustavo asked lowly, which could only mean one thing, I was in serious trouble.

"Uh… Hawk may or may not have it." I said hesitantly, fighting the urge to laugh as Gustavo turned a new shade of red.

"How?" He asked, clearly trying to contain his anger. "How did you fail something as simple as getting a amulet from an abandoned house?"

"Well, clearly Hawk's been busy the past few months. He's got a new recruit." I said, the words getting the attention of all three of them.

"What?" They all asked in unison.

"Yeah. I don't know if he's the only one, but knowing Hawk, I doubt it." I said. "And I don't know where Hawk found him, but this guy is fast and strong." I continued as I went to sit down.

"Great. Now we have to worry about this new guy." Logan muttered as he sat down as well.

I glanced over at Gustavo, who has been suprisingly silent. I was getting ready to ask what was wrong when he suddenly looked over at me.

"What did this guy look like?" He asked, his anger completely gone, which made me a little nervous. Mostly because a calm Gustavo was a lot scarier than an angry one.

"Um… he was tall. A couple inches taller than me. He had brunet hair, hazel eyes…" I said, watching as he nodded.

"Sounds like him." He said vaguely.

"Sounds like who?" Logan asked, looking just as confused as I felt.

Gustavo said nothing as he left the room, walking back in just a minute later with a folder in hand.

"James Diamond." He responded before tossing the folder towards me.

I stared up at him for a second before hesitantly reaching for the folder and opening it, my eyes widening when I saw the picture.

"That's him!" I exclaimed, wondering how Gustavo knew about him.

I went through the file but there wasn't any information.

"I don't really know much about him." Gustavo said, answering the question I was getting ready to ask him. "We were tracking him a few years ago. We had reason to believe that he would be a new breakout. That he would exhibit some kind of powers."

"And what reason was that?" I asked curiously.

"Not important." He said a little too quickly, which meant that there was something he wasn't telling us. "Anyway, one day he just disappeared. We tried to find him, but eventually just gave up. I guess now we know what happened to him."

I couldn't help but think back to my encounter with James. There was something that I couldn't quite place about him, but I did know that the whole cocky attitude seemed kinda forced, almost like he was faking it…

"Gustavo, wait a second." I said, breaking out of my thoughts when I noticed him leaving the room, his demeanor completely changed from when he first walked in.

"What?"

"What does that amulet do? Why is it so important?" I asked, knowing that he seemed pretty adamant about finding it before anyone else did.

"It's a little more important than I let on." He admitted, letting of a sigh of frustration. "It basically enhances a person's powers."

"Why didn't you tell us?" I asked, knowing that this changed everything.

"Because honestly, I wasn't expecting Hawk to make a move. I thought that we were done with him for a while. But clearly you're right. He's been planning something this whole time. And I'm sure he's intending to use that amulet for whatever it is he has planned." He admitted.

"It's not your fault Gustavo. We were all kinda blindsided by this." Logan said, and even though I knew he was right, it didn't really make things any better.

There was an awkward silence that had fallen over us. But luckily, Carlos decided to break it.

"So… what happens now?" He asked hesitantly.

The three of us looked at Gustavo expectantly, curious as to what he wanted to do. I had a thought as to what we should do, but I was curious as to what Gustavo thought should happen.

"I guess we'll have to bring in the rest of the team, try and brace ourselves for whatever Hawk's next move might be." He said after a minute of silence before walking out of the room, leaving the three of us alone.

"We need to get that amulet back." I said, raising an eyebrow when Logan just scoffed.

"Oh really? And how do you suppose we do that? It's not like Hawk is going to just hand it over." He said, with Carlos nodding in agreement.

"I know that, but-"

"Ken, I know that you want to make things right, but Gustavo's right. Right now, we need to prepare ourselves for whatever Hawk might be planning." He said, giving me a sympathetic smile as he got up and walked out of the room as well.

"What do you think we should do?" I asked Carlos after a couple minutes of silence went by.

"Don't tell Logie this, but I do think that we need to get that amulet back." He said quietly, like he thought he would be caught if he talked too loud. "And I think that if anyone can get it back, it's you."

"Really?" I asked, a small smile tugging at the corners of my lips as he nodded his head.

"Really. I believe in you Kendall. I'm sure if me or Logan asked what we should do, you would tell us to do listen to our heart and do whatever feels right. I think you should follow you own advice." He said, walking over and giving me an encouraging pat on the shoulder as he walked out of the room.

"Thanks 'Los." I said softly as I turned back to James' file.

I already had a plan to get back the amulet, but I knew that it was also risky. Mostly because it depended on my guess about James to actually be right.

"Just who are you James?" I asked as I stared at the picture of a seemingly happy and carefree James Diamond.

Done! So, you learned a little bit more, but this chapter also raised more questions, which will all be answered soon!

And I'm sure you all are anxious for Kendall to run into James again. All I'll tell you is that it will happen very soon! ;)

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this chapter as well as any questions you're looking forward to being answered! :)

I'm going to try and have the next chapter up by next weekend at the latest, so until then!
