I don't own the 39 clues. Please tell me if any of the characters are OOC and I'll try to fix it. This is a fast-paced chapter since I wrote and posted this in one day. Sorry 'bout that.
Please R and R
Chapter 1
…
Amy Cahill couldn't sleep.
Only the moon illuminated her almost perfectly clean room but it was enough to see. She had about a hundred books inside her bookshelf but she still preferred going to the library. Her bed was on one side and, despite being rich enough to buy dozens of Picassos and Rembrandts, she only had one expensive painting in her room. The rest of her decorations were pictures of her and her friends and family.
One of those pictures was Dan Cahill in his ninja costume. Seeing it made her smile and cry at the same time. She remembered how Dan insisted on buying the costume although he was almost thirteen years old at that time. She touched the picture and a tear slowly trickled down her cheek.
Where is he now? Is he even still alive? Amy asked herself these questions and became aware of the tears that were unhurriedly coming down her tear-stained cheeks. She finally managed to sleep, exhausted from crying.

"Hi, Sinead," Amy smiled as she saw Sinead come into the kitchen. She was wearing a plain blue long-sleeve and pants. Her sneakers made a sound as she walked towards as Amy.
"Hi, Amy, I finally contacted Hamilton. He's coming over here tomorrow," Sinead replied with a smile on her pretty face.
"That's great!" Amy's smile disappeared when she said the next sentence,"But James called me and said that Ian doesn't want to help us."
"Same old Ian Kabra, Amy." Sinead answered with a roll of her eyes, "What did you expect?"
"I thought he already changed." Amy felt her cheeks starting to heat up as she thought of him. She took a deep breath and changed the subject, "Why don't we do the video-conference now?"
"Great idea!" Sinead replied.

"H-hello, everyone," Amy started. Her hands were already sweating and her voice was shaking a bit. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself by counting one to three before speaking again, "As some of you know, the Vespers are back.
"They've gotten stronger over the past years. They've attacked multiple strongholds now and many of our fellow Cahills are either m-missing or dead," she lost some of her control when she spoke the last few words. It made her think of Dan, who was kidnapped a week ago. Her tears threatened spill but before that could happen, Sinead gave her a reassuring smile.
She tried to regain her composure and firmly looked at the faces she saw on the screen, "We don't know what they want but we, Cahills, must unite. Together we're stronger than them. Together we can defeat them."
She stopped speaking and many of the Cahills watching applauded. She blushed a little and said, "We will post further developments and thank you."

The phone started ringing and on the fourth ring, Sinead picked it up.
"Hello. Ca-," Sinead started.
"Sinead? This is Ned. The Madrigal Base here at Spain got attacked. We n-" The line went dead suddenly.
Sinead immediately pulled out her phone and opened an application. She had developed it in case something like this happened. There was a blue dot blinking rapidly and there were two words written above it.
Madrid, Spain.
