Sorry for the wait, I just started with actual soccer games and we had three this week. Plus practices in between. And lovely Saturday practices. Anyhow thank you all for the reviews! Another thing. I killed my hip at soccer so I can't really do much. This includes the computer, somehow.

Andie POV

My face turned scarlet as my brother held the teddy up.

"It's nothing, just give me it!" I tried to snatch it away but then he pulled back.

"Why did you get this?"

"It's a joke Ben. Ever heard of one?" I said.

"Who is going to see this?" When he said this his jaw was clenched.

"No one! This is going to hide in the back of my closet!" I finally did grab it and Chelsea and I ran upstairs.

"Holy crap was that tense!" She giggled.

"This isn't funny! Things between my brother and I are going to be so awkward. He just saw a teddy! That's supposed to be sexy! My brother and sexy should NEVER go in the same sentence!" I exclaimed.

"Oh calm down! It's not the end of the world. Deep breathes." She mocked.

"Oh really. Then what if your brother saw the things you bought, hmm? Are you saying you'd be just fine and dandy with it?" I said skeptically.

"Well that's different." She tried to explain.

"How? How is that different?"

"My brother is more protective." She said grasping on a whim.

"You really think so?" I gave her the eye. The eye that says "I know you're lying and don't you lie to me again!"

"Damnit fine! It would be incredibly awkward. You win!" She caved.

"Thank you very much!" I smiled haughtily.

"Yeah, yeah whatever." She mumbled. I smiled and shook my head. She would never give in completely. Chelsea's phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

"…"

"Wait, what!"

"…"

"Okay, I'll be right over." She hung up.

"I have to go. Xavier disappeared and we have to try and find him. He could be in danger." She tried to leave but I grabbed her arm.

"I want to go to." If he was gone then I was going to help find him!

"Fine let's go!" We rushed out of the house, but I had to go back in.

"Ben, I have to go and I don't know when I'll be home. I love you, bye!" Then I continued rushing. We hopped in my car and sped off to Haywood.

When we arrived we rushed into the house, Chelsea already spewing questions. "Alright, what's going on? Oh I brought Andie by the way."

"Xavier was supposed to be on monitor duty. After three hours of him not showing up the guys contacted me. You know Xavier. He doesn't just leave." Ranger explained.

From then on the men went through every possible explanation. What Xavier did, was supposed to be doing, and things going on in his life. The thing they weren't touching base with was the fact that Ranger's enemies could have something to do with it. I mean, that's what they have explained to me over and over again. The guys were talking in a jumbled mess and I had no way of being heard.

"Hey!" Nothing.

"HEY!" Nothing.

"SHUT UP AND FREAKING LISTEN TO ME, NOW!" I yelled. The guys stopped short and stared at me.

"Thank you! Now there is one thing you guys are forgetting. A vital piece of information." I pointed out.

"What's that?" Lester asked cockily thinking he couldn't have missed anything.

"Well you always tell me you all have to be careful because of the enemies you have made over the years. The list is pretty damn long from what I hear. So why don't you start looking for someone who would want Xavier?" I asked. They looked stunned.

"I can't believe we didn't think of that. Alright, Les take a look at all of the cases Xavier went on. Ram; take a look at anyone he finds. The rest of you continue." Ranger ordered. A few minutes went by and then Lester spoke.

"Bossman we found nothing." You could almost see the defeat cross Rangers face. He sat thinking.

"Ok, here's another question." I spoke up. They all turned and looked at me.

"Does it have to be something that Xavier did? Because I was thinking, when I was 8 my mom yelled at Suzie Jameson and took her spot away from her in the school play and gave it to me. Well Suzie's mom was a judge in the talent show that I sang in and I should have won but Mrs. Jameson said nope!" I pointed out.

"Great story but what does that have to do with Xavier?" Tank asked.

"Well, what if that's the same thing with him? What if Ranger did something to someone, or someone's kid and they want revenge. So they took Ranger's son?" I asked.

"Fuck! Look up any people that I fucked with their kids. Ram find results." Ranger ordered. Everyone was scattered around the room. Ranger walked over to me.

"Andrea."

"Yes?"

"How did you come up with that? I am trained to think about all the things that could go wrong and I skipped that."

"I don't know how I came up with it but I think I know why you didn't."

"Why?" He asked perplexed.

"No matter what you have trained for everything is different when it's about you're family. You're so worried about X you aren't thinking about the obvious." I smiled.

"Damn, I think you're right. Thanks Andie." He kissed my forehead and chuckled at the shock on my face.

"I found something Boss!" Ram yelled. Everyone went to attention.

"Johnny Oliver was a skip you took in about a year ago. He was taken in for drug smuggling and armed robbery. He was only 19. His dad is Thomas Oliver the drug lord that no one can get proof on. He is also great friends with the Roselle's. What that family does is something like the Mafia. It's not really a gang but they have a group of guys that get in to some shit. They are armed and dangerous almost all of the time. Pretty much boss, it'd be like fighting us with less army training." Ram finished.

"Fuck!" Ranger exclaimed.

All I could think about was how Xavier was with that kind of people. Then I got to thinking.

"Wait a second, Roselle?" I asked.

"Yeah." Ram said.

"Holy crap! Chelsea! Sarah Roselle, isn't that the girl that hates you but wants to be my friend!" Sarah was 14 and could only be described as a nerd. Huge glasses and she doesn't do anything with her hair. She wears plaid gold pants and lavender shirts. It's scary.

"Oh my god! We know her!" Chels freaked.

"Andie, would you do me a huge favor?" Ranger asked me.

"Sure." When I said this he came closer to me and put his hands on my shoulders.

"Would you get involved in this very dangerous operation?" He asked.

"Yes." I said without any hesitation.

"Are you sure." He seemed hesitant.

"Without a doubt."

"Alright then. I need you to be friends with Sarah. That way we can have a spy on the inside."

"Alright. I'll talk to her tomorrow." Steph ran up and hugged me.

"Thank you so much! You have no idea how much this means to me!" She cried into my shoulder. I hugged back hard.

"Steph it's no problem. Xavier has done so much for me. Hell, you all have done so much for me. I owe you." I whispered to her.

"Sweetie, I want Xavier to marry your sweet ass!" She sniffled. I laughed.

"Why?" I asked bewildered.

"Because you are the most giving person I know. You are putting yourself in harms way just to help us save my son!"

"Steph, you're husband and son do that on a daily basis. Hell even you do! It really isn't that spectacular." I insisted.

"My god you are modest." She laughed and hugged me.

"Well thanks." I smiled.

"Anytime."

Once again sorry for the wait! My plan is forming. Tell me what you think of Andie becoming more involved. What do you want Sarah to act like? Express yourselves to me!

REVIEW PLEASE!
