Chapter 3

Freddie POV

The shock of seeing Carly was still wearing off when I got home later that night. I mean sure I was thrilled to see my old best friend /childhood crush. But there was something off about her, like when she hugged me she held me so tight as if she thought this would be the last time she saw me. Then when she said she saw Sam "in a way" I knew that was a lie because I had just talked to Spencer that week and he had told me that Carly and Sam had a job together at the same office building. I will admit that I was a bit disappointed that Sam wasn't with her. Man, it had been FOUR years and I was still thinking about Sam! Sure, I never told her I loved her because she would always think of me as a friend or nerd but still. I finally undid the lock to my apartment when I felt something different. I looked into the small front hall to see if anybody was hiding. When no one was there, I gave a small release of breath. I moved into the living room when someone jumped behind me and put a knife to my neck. The person had a strong arm because the where chocking me to death! The man shifted over so his mouth was close to my ear. "Make any sudden movements and I will kill you. Now listen you have something we want. So we are going to get okay or you will die meet us at the The Take at 8:00 tomorrow night and we will be watching you got that? So don't you try to even call the police." The person shifted again and gave a quick left punch to my face and I went tumbling to the floor knocked out cold.

2 hours later…

I woke up a throbbing feeling in my head as I positioned myself up. I stumbled quickly towards the freezer, got me an ice pack, and pressed to my face as I went to go finally lie down and go to sleep.

Sam POV

We watched the whole thing on tape. I was disgusted that Blue Sapphire would even send a death threat to Freddie it seemed sorta tacky. But I was even more disgusted that we didn't do anything. " We could have done something I mean what if he got killed that would have ruined the whole mission." I said not holding back on keeping my anger in. Elena swiveled around in her chair so that she was facing me. A sympathetic look clear on her face.

" Sam, they would not have killed him they need the information Freddie has. Plus we would have never have found out were there D.C. meeting place is." she said trying to calm me down I guess it worked because I just nodded my head in agreement. Carly came up behind and patted my shoulder. "Any way Sam if we showed up they would have killed him on sight and got the information some other way. Elena do think you can into his work system files see if there's any thing on Blue Sapphire." Carly said trying to sound calm. Elena turned back around on her chair typing into her computer five minutes later she was in. " Well there's nothing here on Blue Sapphire I guess Viper is more techno the death notes." Tyler looked up from the folder he was studying he picked it and walked over to Elena.

" Try to see if Joe Kimball worked for them widen the net to the whole system not just Benson's department." Elena nodded I turned around to face Carly. " What's Viper?" I asked slightly confused and trust me confusion is something no spy wants. Carly smiled as she went through the racks of clothes in front of her.

" Viper is the company that owns Pear Store they are like really successful and that is also were Freddie works. Sam how can you forget that it was on the file." I smiled sheepishly and tried not to look embarrassed but I guess it didn't work because Tyler started to laugh. Carly turned around and started to chuckle. I stomped back into my office and started to email Spencer when I saw he had emailed me two hours ago. I clicked on it:

Hey Sam,

I thought I should email you because well I was bored. Well anyway I'm making a new sculpture that will be presented in the Seattle Art Museum. I might send you and Carls tickets but it really depends. So the other day I was talking to Freddie he told me he lived in D.C. and I was like hey you live like close to Carly and Sam then I told him that you guys work in the same building. I don't know why you guys don't talk to him. I guess he misses you because he sounds depressed you know.

Sam you should really call him here's is his number /-/-/

Love your somewhat big bro,

Spencer

I sighed I knew being in the CIA had draw backs. I guess I missed him to but right now all I could really do was protect him. I decided to email Spencer back anyway

Hey Spencer,

That's so great that you got chosen for the Seattle Art Museum or { SAM} I really don't know if we could go ask Carly. Hey maybe you could ask Freddie {jk}. Anyway you talked him to that's cool and I know he lives in D.C. because Carl's ran into him today. Well I got to go oh and Tyler says hi.

Love your somewhat little sister,

Sam

I sighed maybe tomorrow will be a slightly better day.

A List of Reasons why

Civilians have a Habit

of Ruining Missions

By: Sam Puckett

They don't know about your mission to protect your best friend.

Because they don't know about the mission. They tell your target were you live and work.

Even though where you tell them you work is a lie.

It makes lying a hell of a lot harder.

You have to tell your best friend so she could tell your target a whole different lie.

This also ruins the trust your target seems to have towards you.
