Walking to the Valley Inn in the cover of the shadows was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. To say one thing; headlights suck. Everytime someone would drive by; I would have to stop and make sure his or her lights didn't shine on me. When I finally reached an alley near the hotel I didn't see Anna's car anywhere in sight but then I felt a tap on my shoulder. Crossing my fingers that it was Anna, who was just testing my reflexes and not Chris preparing to shoot me; I turned slowly around, preparing to punch them and run if need be. But it was neither of them; to my surprise, it was Edmund.

"Bianca." My hands dropped to my sides.

"Thank God. I thought you were Chris for a minute there." I gave him a big hug.

"Yea, Mateo told me everything. Wow, you're doing a great job at this whole mini spy thing." He laughed.

"Well, it's more for self-preservation than fun right now, but I have to admit this is kind of exhilarating in an odd kind of way."

"Now you're starting to sound like Anna."

"You say that like it's a bad thing, Edmund." Anna walked up behind Edmund, coming to stand next to me again.

"Anna." He started.

"What are you doing here, anyways?" She asked him.

"Uh, that's what I was coming to tell you. He and Brooke are doing an expose for Tempo on Proteus." I interrupted. She looked at Edmund with daggers in her eyes.

"What do you have a death wish or something?"

"You knew I was doing a story on him or her for that matter, don't look so shocked." He tried to calm her.

"Yea, but I thought you had enough common sense to drop it. Of all the stupid things you could do.and you got Brooke mixed up in this too, wow. I really thought you were smarter than that." She started to walk away, motioning for me to follow.

"He's helping Mateo, that's how I knew." I added as she stopped and turned toward him.

"So we're not only adding a man and his wife, but two reporters too; great. Who's next?" She threw her hands up in the air and I started to follow her into the car.

"You didn't see us or speak to us, got it?" She instructed to him, leaning out the window.

"Yea, I got it." He replied as we sped off once again.
