Honesty & Lies
Kari's POV
The next morning I was in the kitchen working on breakfast when Kent came in and wrapped his arms around my shoulders. Kent is a fellow teacher/top spy/old friend/ex-boyfriend. He is taller than me by at least 6 inches (in my heels!), black-haired, green-eyed, and my closest friend.
"Did you ask Zach for help on this mission, Kay?" asked Kent. He used his old pet name for me just like he used to before he got married to my cousin. Zach told me that he would help the night before.
"Of course and I think we should ask Cammie to help as well," I responded, moving away to take care of the donuts I was frying.
"K," said Kent, then he noticed the music that was playing, Rock and Roll Music by The Beach Boys. "Do you want to dance, Kay?"
"Can't right now," I answered while removing donuts from the lard that they were frying in and adding another batch. I knew that he remembered that as our song from when we were dating.
"Kari is it OK to tell Cammie what we think about Tyler? She's Macey's friend and can make sure she doesn't become to involved with him," Zach said while walking into the kitchen. He took a breath like he wanted to say more but I cut him off.
"Tell her everything but remember to swear her to secrecy. She can't even tell Bex, Liz, and Macey," I told him wondering how long he worked on his "convince Kari" speech.
"Why not? Macey should know what's going on," was how Zach responded.
"I only doubt his mother, not Tyler himself. She was the last person to see your parents and Cammie's dad before they disappeared. I don't want to risk her learning that I suspect her until I have proof," I responded knowing that he would understand.
"K. How much longer until breakfast?" asked Zach.
"It is more of an eat when you want to affair. If you want to eat now be my guest," I told Zach motioning to a pile of fresh donuts on the counter.
"Thanks. I'm going for a run be fore the others wake up," he responded.
"We'll bring them back alive if it is in any way possible, you know that. I lost 3 of my best friends that day, one of which was a sister (Gallythorne girls considered themselves sisters the same way that Gallagher girls do). Do you think I would leave this case up to CIA? They called it a cold case 4 months after the agents disappeared," I responded knowing that Zach was worried. I was the closest thing to family (Princely not included of course) that he had.

Zach POV
I realized that Kari was right about 2 miles into my run. I went back to the house and told Cammie the truth. She was mad for a couple of minutes before she realized that Tyler wasn't to blame. Then Bex came in and though I knew it was painful for Cammie to lie to Bex she had to.
When everyone was ready we went down to breakfast. Kent was still annoying Kari and she told us that after breakfast we would be meeting our associates.

Sorry about how long it took to update and how short the chapter is. School just started again and with finals in a month and a half I'm being swamped with work. :( Who or what do you think the associates are? Please review. It only takes a second and inspires me to write longer chapters. :)
