Declaimer: I don't own anything but the story, honeys.
Thank you to my reviewers!
Hanley? Now I remembered where I'd heard it before! He was the dude running against my dad to become President. You might be thinking 'How does the SON of a presidential candidate not know the name of one of his dad's opponents?' Well, if you must know, I don't really get involved with politics, especially politics having to do with Dad. Besides, I haven't seen Dad in 3 months, he's always off campaigning, and phone conversations always become awkward. But what did these Hanley chicks want with me?
Ruby snapped in front of my face, "Earth to Nick."
I was startled to still find myself tied to the chair, "What do you want with me?" I asked cautiously.
"We're going to stop your father's campaign, he's our dad's biggest opponent."
I was still slightly groggy from being dragged from one place to another, so naturally, I was confused and grumpy, "And what does that have to do with ME?" I snapped
Selena rolled her eyes, "How stupid can you be?" Before I could take offense she continued, "Listen here superstar, we've got this whole thing planned out..."
Miley's P.O.V.
The group had disappeared into a hotel suite, and soon the bodyguard had come back outside and was posted in front of the door. Aha! I knew those girls had something to do with this. But how was I supposed to get in? The body-guard was easily twice my size... then I looked up and saw an air duct, hm. I looked around making sure there was nobody around and climbed onto a little table right underneath it. I had a hard time actually getting IN to the vent though, dresses aren't the best climbing gear, but I'd just have to make do. After much flailing my legs a bit, I was able to hoist myself into the duct/vent. (A/N: I don't know WHAT the inside of a hotel vent/duct-thing looks like, do you?) Surprisingly, it was roomier than I thought it would be. I army-crawled through the vent peeking through each vent hole and making sure that wasn't the room Nick had gone into. Finally after 10 minutes of crawling, I could see Nick and the 4 Hanley girls in a room. The one I'd seen previously was talking, "...which is why your dad will be out of the presidency."
Hm, interesting. I was ready to climb out of the stupid vent and kick some Hanley butt, when the same girl started talking again, " Alfie," she gestured out the door, to what I guessed was the body guard,"will take care of you, and don't bother to escape, there are no windows. See you later, Nick.." then she kissed him. Yeah, she KISSED him, which made me gag. I rolled my eyes, and pushed ahead, this meant nobody had to know I was here, so while making me gag, she'd also done me a favor, she was leaving.
So as she and her posse sashayed out the door, gag, I took out my pen-knife out and un-screwed the bolts on the vent, then I carefully removed the grating and dropped it on the floor. Nick looked up at me in confusement (Is that a word?) I put my finger to my lips in the universal sign for "shut-up or I'll come down there and hurt you". Then I scooched down out of the vent opening, head first. This wasn't the smartest thing to do but an Agents got to do what an agents got to do.
Nick's P.O.V.
There was a muffled clang as the vent grate dropped to the floor, I looked up to see where it'd come from. I looked up to the vent opening and saw the brunette girl-with-an-attitude in the vent with her finger to her lips. Even a kindergartener knew what that ment, shhh. She squirmed out of the vent head first, right when I thought she was going to fall, she tuck and rolled to my feet. I silently clapped, she looked up and rolled her eyes, geez, I was just trying to be nice. Then she spoke, " You need some help there?"
I looked at her to see if she was serious, "What do you think?"
She frowned and bent down to untied my hands and feet while whispering, " Ok, I'm going to get you out of here, but you're going to have to follow my directions."
I replied while whispering, "Whatever for you, Bossy."
She ignored me. After untying me she climbed back up the vent using the chair as a push off point and motioned for me to follow her. I climbed onto the chair and was able to hoist upper body up into the vent, until i knocked over the chair. I could hear Alfie's voice through the door, "Hey, what's going on in there?"
Bossy stared daggers at me, I'd blown my cover. Alfie burst through the door and started rushing over to my flailing legs, but he didn't get there before the brunette hoisted me up.
"Oi! You come back here, Grey!" yelled Alfie. I was eager to listen to the fatso's tirade, but the girl gestured for me to army-crawl and follow her.
Miley's P.O.V.
5 minutes into crawling Nick asked me, "What's your name, Bossy?"
"I wouldn't be talking to the person who just saved your hide like that, but my name's Miley" I replied.
"You've got to admit, my hide's pretty hot though."
"What?!" I asked, while bumping my head on the ceiling of the vent. Ouch, that's going to leave a bump.
"Never mind," he mumbled. I rolled my eyes this guy was getting arroganter by the second.
We continued crawling in silence until I asked, "What's your name, Bighead?"
"You don't know my name?" he asked increduously.
"Actually I do."
"Then why'd you ask?"
"Geez, I was just trying to make some conversation."
2 minutes went by before he started talking again, " Why'd you rescue me?"
I sighed, "It's a long story I'll explain it to you when we get out of here."
3 more minutes went by but I could practically feel Nick staring at me.
"Nick.."
"Yes?"
"Stop staring at my butt."
"Psh, I wasn't.. no.. "
A/N: What'd you guys think? It's my longest chapter yet, there's not as much comedy in this one, but I like the secret-agent stuff. And yes, Hunter, it had to be Selena. Please REVIEW. I'm begging you guys. I'm getting a huge amount of hits, from who? I don't know.
