I felt my heart drop at that moment. Amy, Dan, Ned, Ted, and Sinead were all dead. For the past 6 months all competitors in the clue hunt had been trapped in a Madrigal stronghold trying to figure out how to prepare for when the Vesper's came. There was also a number of other high ranking officials. So I had grown to care for all the children, and, strangely enough, Cora and Mary-Todd were now my best friends along with Nataliya.

"W-what?" Natalie asked stunted.

"No, she can't be dead," Ian whispered. In the first week of staying at the Madrigal Stronghold Ian had asked Amy out and they had been together ever since.

"We have to talk to the others," I said. "That has to be it. We were on the hunt so for some reason we remember what actually happened."

"Agreed," Natalie and Ian chorused.

I got up and opened the door, "Vikram, come in here."

"Yes ma'am," he jumped and rushed in after me.

Ian and Natalie had moved to the side of my desk and I sat in the chair, Vikram took a seat across from me. "Vikram, I need you to do a very important task, only you can. I need you to get some people in my office in the next hour. Can you do that?"

"Is this a mission?" he asked.

"Yes, a very important one," I answered.

"Yes, I accept, now who?" he seemed happy at the concept of going on a mission.

I took out a piece of paper and wrote the list, then checked it again, and again. Finally satisfied I gave it to him, as he looked over it his face fell. "This is a joke. Or a way to get rid of me. There is no way someone of my clearance could get these people then you could deny it and say I had my own agenda or say I failed, ether way I'm dead."

"Vikram Kabra! This is not a joke or a way to get rid of you. I need this done and you're the only one I trust with it. If someone doesn't believe you call me, and I will personally tell them off, not get to it, you only have 55 minutes left."

He looked astounded. "Yes Ms. Spasky."

"Vikram, we have known each other for over 20 years, we are on a first name basest."

"Yes Irina," I thought I saw a smile as he left my office.

"Wow," Natalie said after a minute. "I've never seen my father look so jumpy before."

"I know," I replied. "And I've known him much longer then you have."

"So what are we going to do for an hour?" Ian said finally coming out of his thoughts.

"There's a new Shane Dawson video, that could kill a few minutes," Natalie suggested.

"Sure, why not," Ian answered.

10 minutes later we were halfway thought the 3rd video when the phone started to ring. "Hello?" I answered.

"Hello Irina?" I could hear a gasp in the background at someone calling me by my first name. "This is Vikram and someone doesn't believe that I have orders from you to get these people out of lock down."

"Let me talk to them," I said simply.

"H-hello Ms. Spasky," the voice shook.

"Vikram Kabra has strict orders from me to get the participants of the clue hunt to my office. Now let him complete his assignment and stop waisting my Блять time!" I said a specific word in Russian, not supposed to cuss in front of kids.

I hung up before they could reply. "Wow mum, you told off that Долбаебов,"

"Natalie! Where did you learn that word?" I didn't know Natalie knew that kind of language, especially in Russian.

"You," she said simply. "Now can we get back to the video?"

A/N: Okayy I forgot to do this in other chaps so: I, LucianGurl39, do not own the 39 clues or Shane Dawson etc.

And I know the bigining is better then the end, but I didn't want them just siting around worrying, so now they are worrying while watching youtube. And incase you didn't know Shane Dawson is a funny youtube show (It relates to the 39 clues because of a segment called Ned's Nerd World).

So I hope you like it and reviews make my day. And think of all the work I had to do to get real Russian sware words. (you can check)
