Chapter 7: Waking Up in Vegas [Katy Perry]

I woke up in a soft bed. Wait, what? A bed is not normal for kidnapping. At least, I assume it's not normal. I sat up cautiously and glanced around the room, taking in all the details from the number of windows (2) to the number of books on the shelves (105). I glanced at the floor, and noticed a motion sensor. I quickly did a back flip over the sensor, and landed on one foot, then noticed a security beam, and 2 bugs (AH! one was actually a REAL bug, creepy and crawly! EW! EW! EW!). I cautiously jumped the beam stepped on the real bug, and picked up the bug (camera and microphone). I smirked.

"Did you get that Zach?" I asked, and then crushed the bug. I had a brief knowledge of espionage, because Joe taught me. He said it may be useful in the future…. I guess he knew something I didn't. I walked toward the door, and noticed a security lock. It was simple. You have to get all the buttons to stay pushed down, but if you made a mistake, the alarm went off. I glanced around, looking for something to use. I noticed a desk, and walked over and opened the drawers. Pens, pencils, lasers, paper…. PAINTBRUSHES! Just what I needed. I took it and walked over to the corner, and saw a thick layer of dust. I rubbed the paint brush into the dust, and walked over to the security pad. I rubbed the paintbrush over it. Fingerprints. I pressed them in the right order, and the door unlocked. I walked out into the hallway, only to bump into a wall… oh wait that's Zach. He smirked down at me as I fell backwards into the room. Zach stepped forward and closed the door.

"So," he said, "you overlooked one thing." I glanced around the room, and my eyes landed on the mirror on the wall.

"A two-way mirror?" I asked. Zach nodded. "That's cheating." Zach raised an eyebrow, and walked over to me. He wrapped his arms around my midsection. I turned to face him.

"It's not cheating," he said, "It's a strategy." I looked up at him questioningly.

"Um… since when are you allowed to touch me?" I asked, feisty. He chuckled.

"Joe said I have to keep you safe," he said lightly. He pulled me closer to him. "This is as safe as it gets. And don't say you don't like it, because I know you do."

"And how do you know that?" I asked smoothly. He smirked.

"Your heart rate increased when I laid a hand on you," he said, "I know you like it." He leaned down to me, his lips brushing my ear. I involuntarily shivered. He chuckled. I blushed. I pushed against his chest, wanting to be released. He held tighter. "Not a chance." I sighed and stared down at my feet… helpless.


So I know I'm updating a lot, but the chapters are so short and I actually pretty much write the equivalent of one chapter by another fanfic author. Anyways, I'm happy with that, I don't know about you guys. Anyway so I just finished this chapter at... 5:45pm and I'm just getting a chance to upload it now. And I was watching "Friends" as I was proofing it so if there are any mistakes... blame Chandler, Joey, Chick Jr., and Duck Jr! :) But this is the last update of the day! (Don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow :))

I love the reviews! Thanks so much! And a special thanks to Ultimate Beach Lover for informing me that GG5 comes out March 20, 2012! I know what I'm asking for for my 17th birthday (March 23rd!) :)
