Chapter 4 (busted)
"Well?" Kat snapped.
"It... um… just seemed obvious." Liz tried.
"Where do you need to go?" Simon said trying to put some pieces together.
"Washington D.C." Liz admits.
Kat and Hale look at each other then Simon.
"Do it." He said, and with that Kat knocked out Liz without the spy seeing it coming.
"What is wrong with you, Kat? You should have left her. Now they'll be looking for her." Those were the first words to ring in Liz's ears as she came to.
"I couldn't leave her, Uncle Eddie. If I were in that situation I'd want someone to do that for me. As soon as she wakes up we can talk to her then send her on her way."
Liz slowly opened her eyes and realized she was in a twin bed in a mostly pink room.
"Then you should not have used that gift from the Bagshaw's. Who knows how long she'll be out?"
Liz sat up and felt dazed and confused. Then she remembered a girl named Kat saving her as well as her screw up. She stood and it took a minute to get her balance. She walked in a clumsy manner to the stairs, where she found Hale.
"She's up." He yelled to the kitchen.
He ran up the stairs and helped her keep steady as she came down. He led her to the kitchen and pulled out a chair. Kat and an older gentleman walked over.
"Okay, tell us the truth or we're gonna have a problem." Kat says. "What's your name?"
"Elizabeth Sutton." Liz says before stopping herself. "But most people call me Liz."
"Why should we believe you?" Hale questions.
Liz realized a weird taste in her mouth and recognized it almost immediately. She remembered a time she used the exact same thing on Agent Townsend and used way too much.
"Because whatever you used to knock me out had truth serum in it. I literally can't tell a lie."
"She's right." Simon says walking in the room. "I ran the tests on that powder or whatever it was and she's right."
"She can't lie?" The man next to Kat asks.
"No." Simon answers with confidence.
"Why were you tied up?" Kat asks turning her attention back to Liz.
"I'm not positive but it could be because I'm the best tech wiz in the world at this time, or because I work for the CIA."
"You're overly confident." Hale remarks. "Kind of like Simon." He says under his breath.
Simon glares at him as he puts his computer on the table and takes his seat.
"Well, considering a terrorist group that most have never heard of tried to use my idea of how to start World War III, and the only reason they didn't succeed was because of my friends and I, I think I have a right to be." Liz counters, still a little groggy.
The group gawks at the small girl sitting before them.
"Okay maybe she should be a little cocky." Hale says.
"I need to know one thing before I say anything else. How long was I out?"
"A week." Kat answers.
"Oh no."
"What?"
"I was probably pronounced dead or something. Can I please call someone?" right then a phone started to ring.
Hale pulls a phone from his pocket and frowns.
"Who is it?" Kat asks him.
"Macey McHenry." He answers in a puzzled tone.
Liz's eyes go wide. "Answer the phone." She snaps.
"What? Why?" Hale asks.
"Just answer it."
"Do you know her?"
Liz couldn't wait any more. She jumps up and snatches the phone from Hale and answers.
"Give me that!" Hale yells following her down the hall.
"Macey?"
