Esme's Pov
"Yeah I'm not explaining this," Mia said sitting back in her chair. Caitlin had just walked in. Right as we mentioned that Andy and Lauren were probably in a lot of danger because the Inner Circle was trying to kill them and they left to go try to find the Inner Circle like idiots. They left the very safe underground base that we stay in because it is safe. Idiots.
"Andy and Lauren may have left to go look for the Inner Circle based on the information John gave us," I said nervously.
"What!" Caitlin exclaimed.
"And the Inner Circle may be trying to kill them along with me and Lorna," I said.
"And why did no one call me?" Caitlin said.
"Because we only just figured it out. Leah only just woke up and told us who the spy was trying to kill." Lorna said.
"We need to find them," Caitlin said sitting down on the couch.
"We know where they are. They went to figure out what the Inner Circle is going in that munitions factory." Mia said.
"We have to go after them," Caitlin said, her tone the most worried I have ever heard.
"We are working on that. We just need to get Marcos and then we can go find them." Lorna said.
"One more thing. Leah mentioned that the spy had a knife that could take away people's powers." I said.
"But if Andy and Lauren don't have their powers..." Mia started her eyebrows creased.
"They are kind of defenseless," I said pressing my lips together.
"They left 3 hours ago, so they have a huge head start on us and if the spy knows they left the Inner Circle will go after them," Lorna said. She was pacing back and forth. I could tell she blamed herself for not noticing that they left, she was the one on watch after all.
'We have to find them before the Inner Circle does." Caitlin said standing up.
"What if we don't they've been gone for three hours, what if the Inner Circle already found them?" Mia said.
"Well if my sisters found them, we're screwed and if literally, anyone else found them they are either dead or injured surrounded by either dead bodies or a disintegrating building. It depends on what kind of mood they were in." I said. I looked at Caitlin who looked like she was ready to shoot someone if they hurt her kids, "Sorry Caitlin. We just have to hope that the Inner Circle didn't find them."
Andy's Pov
"We've been here for an hour and a half, maybe nothing's going to happen. John did say that he didn't know when they were going to attack this place." Lauren said. We were sitting behind boxes on one of the observation balconies hiding watching the floor of the factory.
"Let's just wait for a couple more minutes," I said. I didn't want to have to leave not knowing anything else than what we came here knowing. She sighed and leaned against the wall behind us.
"Fine, 15 minutes then we're leaving. Mom is supposed to get back tonight," she said.
I heard a door open so I shifted my position so I could see better. I saw a person in a hood walk onto the floor of the factory.
"Hello" They called out. Lauren quickly moved beside me to see what was going on, "Sophie, Phoebe, I have information for you, or do you not want it, cause I can leave."
"No, we want it." one of the Frost sisters said stepping out of the shadows.
I looked at Lauren with my eyes wide. Lauren grabbed my wrist and hissed in my ear, "We have to go, they'll figure out we're here and if that happens we're screwed."
"Wait, I think this guy is the spy, maybe we could figure out who they are," I whispered, stopping her from pulling me away.
Lauren glared at me, "Fine but if they kill us it's your fault.
Why were the Frosts even here? Couldn't they have sent one of their lackeys to get whatever information this person had?
The hooded guy handed them a piece of paper, "Here, this is a list of everyone who has come in and out of the station.
"Good job. Now, what about your other projects. Not including the one you failed to kill, are any of the targets actually dead?" one of the sisters asked.
"No, not yet but they are about to be. I have a very special plan that is in motion right now," the guy said, "As long as Rebecca does her job."
Lauren grabbed my arm and started to pull me away again and this time I let her. We needed to warn the Underground. If they were planning something that involves Rebecca... Well, let's just say it wouldn't end well for us.
We moved quickly towards the door, trying to stay out of sight. There was just one more corner to turn before we got to the door. I looked back to make sure no one had seen us when Lauren stopped right as she turned the corner.
"Shit," Lauren said. I turned the corner and Rebecca was leaning against the doors which now had a metal chain around the handles.
"That's a reasonable reaction," Rebecca said smiling.
Lauren turned to me and said, "Your fault."
I sighed as Rebbeca yelled, "You were right, they're here," she then turned to us, "If you don't want to die I recommend walking back to the floor. Of course, you will die later anyway so it's just a choice of if I get to do it now or later," she said.
Lauren and I stood frozen in place. I had no idea what to do.
"Are you just going to stand there because if I can kill you I would love the opportunity, but if you want to live another couple minutes..." Rebecca said.
"Fine," Lauren said, turning around. She whispered to me, "We're screwed."
"Yup," I whispered back.
Rebecca trotted behind us happily as we walked to where the Frosts were. Lauren's hands were shaking, I just felt numb. This was my fault, Lauren wanted to leave but I made her stay. Maybe those extra five minutes would have let us get out without them catching us. That stupid spy, why did there have to be a spy. Whoever it was I wanted to kill them.
We got to the floor of the factory. The Frosts looked at us with their evil smiles. They were identical to Esme but still looked so different from her just from the way they looked at us. It was terrifying. I had no idea what they were planning. My breathing sped up as I looked at them, I was barely even paying attention to the spy.
One of the Frosts, Sophie I think, started talking, "Andrew and Lauren, our wonderful spy here told us you would be joining us today. How lovely to see you both,"
"Go to hell," Lauren said.
"We are good here thank you very much." The other Frost said. She then turned to the spy who still had his hood up so I couldn't see his face, "You two can handle this, correct."
"Of course. We won't let you down." The spy said. His voice sounded familiar. I just couldn't place it.
The Frost sisters left. I just now realized how tense I was. Lauren looked at me, she was clearly sighing in relief. If they had used their powers on us... well, it wouldn't end well.
"Oh, I have been so looking forward to this." The spy said.
"Who are you?" Lauren said.
"I'm surprised you haven't figured it out. I thought you were smart." Rebecca said walking in front of us.
The spy laughed, "They are. I'm just that good." The spy took down his hood.
Lauren made a strangled gasp, "Jack?"
