CHAPTER 10! AND 11!
and at some point later today maybe chapter 12! Ooooooo... AHhhhhhh...

now for the reviews...

gallagherspygirl - you say wow then... wait till now! hehehehe

KatieeAnnSalibaa- thanks!

rozaveRnB - thanks! Plus I didn't write a cliff hanger for chapter 10 and 11... But no promises for the next chapter... :P

Ivoryyy - it was kinda awkward... but I tried my best not to make it REALLY awkward. The love triangle should be arriving soon ;)

PreppyEmoGirl - thanks... and I hope a week (or so) was a short enough time for you to wait... I had exams :(

GallagherGirl537 - Thanks!

AAA- sorry I ruined cute little Liz... but Cammie or Bex couldn't do it to Grant cause it didn't fit. Macey could have done it but it would have wound up with one of the girls being angry... so I make a little Liz-Jonas (awkward) moment... Feel free to keep bugging me to update though... I'm on Thanksgiving Break for over a week so that equals lots of free time! I mean lots of writing time!

CrystalRose- I love that line too... :D

Cammie4.10- thanks for the compliment... my writing thanks you... :p

Jada- Opps... I didn't know it was that big a cliffhanger. I had chapter 10 written and after I read you comment I had to make chapter 10 chapter 11 because I need to give you the information about Blackthorne ASAP! I will try to use SHENANIGANS in a chapter coming up... And i hope you don't find that chapter 11 is a big cliff. Not sure if you can handle another cliff :P

cam2ZACH2ful- hahah yup!

AND now that those are over... enjoy!

The three of us sat on the couch watching re-runs of America's Next Top Model. A half-eaten bowl of popcorn lay at our feet; a bottle of wine was attached to both Macey's hand and her mouth, and DVDs were scattered across the floor. "I bet you Nicole is going to win."

"Psh," Macey put the wine bottle down and pointed at the screen, "No, way. Not after the photo shoot."

Bex sat up and looked at Macey and I. "Nicole wins," she said. She lowered her head and continued to sleep against the couch.

"Bitch," Macey mumbled, turning the TV off. The door inched open and Liz stepped through the door. Macey smirked, "The Walk of Shame…" Liz could only blush. "Now, give me the USB."

Liz handed her the USB and Macey plugged it into the computer and opened up the document. "Wait, Mace. Should we wake up Bex?"

"Screw the Brit, she spoiled the ending."

2:43- Virus has successfully hacked into Blackthorne Institute's files. They are currently in Ludlow, Vermont, with Zachary Jay Goode. Their whereabouts are unknown and Virus will continue the search.

2:59- Blackthorne's files lead Virus to believe that they are after Zachary Jay Goode and Joseph Patrick Solomon for changing Blackthorne's curriculum. The men, who are holding Zachary Jay Goode hostage, believe in the old system. They want a school for assassins not spies. Virus believes that a connection with the Circle of Cavan may be a reason for them to resist the change.

3:38- Virus has worked with his partner, Macho Man, and they have decided that the information must be withheld from Bookworm, Chameleon, Duchess, and Peacock for the time being.

"Well…" Macey started, "Why won't they damn tell us!"

"They're spies."

"But…"

"Lying is in our job description, Mace." I looked at her, "Sometimes lying is better than telling the truth."

"Is it one of those times?" Liz's voice joined in.

"No…"

"…But for some reason they felt that it was necessary."
