Midnight Meetings

Bex's POV

I was wondering the same thing as Grant after the mission. Who was the stranger that Kari meet and why did she need us there. They seemed to know each other on a codename basis, but she still had to take us along. I voiced my ideas as to why she took us along (bombs, prior threats, trust issues, teaching, ect.) to Grant.

"She's not Joe. There won't be a test on tonight tomorrow. She does trust Leopard, but Princely doesn't." answered Grant with a laugh.

"How do you know." I shot back, annoyed that he didn't tell me more about Leopard.

"Leopard's real name is Lenard Blackthorne. He's Kari's cousin the key to returning her best friends. His ex-wife is holding them hostage, but Lenard isn't trusted to be left alone with them. Princely doesn't trust him because Kari does." Grant stated tensely. I began to wonder where he got his info. He must be a mind reader because he responded, "Kari needs a new password. Her e-mail, computer, and protected files run on the same password."

I laughed and Grant kissed me.

Liz's POV

We (Jonas and myself) were relaxing in Jonas' room. We had heard the whole conversation between Kari and Lenard. We ran a facial scan on his face and found his file. He has an ex-wife who went rogue almost 10 years ago, graduated Blackthorne a year after Kari, and had a third child, Tomas West.

"What do you think was in that folder Kari received from Lenard?" I wondered out loud.

"I wish I knew." responded Jonas from right behind me before wrapping his arms around my waist.

Tyler's POV

I seriously am falling hard for Macey. She spent ten minutes pacing the length of my room muttering the same questions. I hated to lie to her, but I couldn't stand the thought of her knowing about my mom. So I lied and ignored the pain in my chest.

When she was done pacing she looked at me and said, "You know who Leopard is, don't you."

The second that she looked at me and said that I knew that I would never hurt her, no matter what my mom told me to do, or did to me. I was in love and my mom couldn't take that away.

I nodded yes and whispered, "He is my father. His name is Lenard Blackthorne and he is helping Kari rescue Cammie's dad and Zach's parents from my mother." My voice broke on the last word.

Rather then screaming or running away like I expected her to Macey put her arms around me. "Don't worry. We'll save them." she murmured.

"I know that we will. It's just my mom has told me and my sister to kill everyone in AT. Chris, Eliza, Kent, Joe, John, and Steve included. My sis will do anything to be mom's favorite child again. I refuse to take their side and they will torture me by forcing me to kill you. I side with them and you would die any way. I can't let that happen but I don't want anyone else hurt either." I said hoping that she wouldn't be mad.

"Don't worry. There are more of us then there are of them. It will be easy." whispered Macey as I wrapped my arms around her. I really wished that I knew that it would be that simple.

Kari's POV

I discussed what was in the folder with Zach & Cammie when we got home. More of the same as usual. A couple of pics of each of my friends and info about how they are being cared for. After I sent them of to bed I filed this folder with the others. And tried to sleep but I knew it was almost useless so I got dressed and went outside. That's when they grabbed me from behind. I couldn't scream and I couldn't fight them off. I was captured.

Sorry if that chapter was a bit random but all of the character's thoughts and emotions were listed in there (for the most part). Who do you think grabbed Kari? I bet no one will guess right, but try any ways. Who knows you might be right. Please R&R!!!!
