A Little Game Called Cat and Mouse

I'm glad to see that everybody is enjoying the story. Hope you all enjoy this chapter and tell me if I'm portraying the girls correctly. And to ManaRoy, I had to change Amanda's background timeline a little to make her sixteen years old, just to let you know.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything or anyone from Big Time Rush. The girls belong to their creators. I just own the plot.

Chapter Four

The Initiator

Erika's POV

"This place is huge." Amanda says, brown eyes wide as we wheel our suitcases into the lobby of the hotel where Big Time Rush is staying.

And Amanda is right. I would give anything to live in a place like this. There's a giant chandler hanging over our heads, creating small rainbows on the walls where light reflected through the crystal. The red velvet couches must cost six hundred dollars a piece at the least. Everything is polished till it shines. Growing up, I never really stayed in one place at a time. My mother, Madison, was a spy who knew one day I would be recruited to be spy like her. She trained me secretly to ensure that I would be at the top of the game when it was my turn to step into the spotlight. But if the agency had known what my mother was doing, they would have taken me away from her right on the spot. So we moved to avoid that.

That's why I'm standing here today beside four girls I have never had contact with to protect four boys I have never met.

"You girls make a better window than a door." A young man says from behind the check in desk. Quickly, we all pull our bags over to him. We give our names, our real names, as those are the names we had our reservations under. No need for fake names when everybody believes we are in Italy.

Between the four of us, we have split into pairs for rooms assignments. I am with Kameryn, and Elena is with Amanda. After the way Amanda snapped at me the other day, I really don't think us sharing a room together for the next twenty one days is a good thing.

I unlock the door room and step inside with Kameryn behind me. And the lobby is nothing compared to the room.

In our case file was the layout of Big Time Rush's room, and the room we were assigned has the same layout. But still, even studying the layout could not prepare even a top spy like me for the fluffy couches, fancy walls, and queen sized beds.

"Which room do you want?" I ask Kameryn.

"Doesn't matter." She replies softly. Kameryn continues to shock me, despite the fact that she is a spy. She is just so quiet and calm, unlike Amanda, Elena, and I.

"I'll take the one closest to the window, if that's alright with you."

"Fine with me."

We each wheel our suitcases into our respective bedrooms. Instead of unpacking, I pull out a power drill and begin to drill into the wall that leads to Big Time Rush. Kameryn's and my hotel suite is the one on the left of Big Time Rush's, while Elena and Amanda's is on the right.

The drill reaches through to Big Time Rush's room. I open my backpack of technologic supplies and pull out a wire with a camera on the end. I hook the camera up to one of my laptops and get a view of Carlos and James's room. And let me say, it is a mess.

Various clothes are scattered all over the floor. Moving the wire to the left, I can see what looks like a mountain of hair care products, which I know belong to James. According to his file, he is obsessed with his hair. I move the wire towards Carlos's bed and see various video games scattered over the bed. According to his file, he likes toys.

So I have a watch on the Carlos and James's room, while Kameryn has a watch on Kendall and Logan's room. Figures she get the cleaner of the two.

Elena's POV

To my surprise, Amanda and I get along quite well. We both have the same kind of punkish rock style going on and we both dislike some of the same things.

"You want to do the drilling?" Amanda asks, handing me the power drill. We have a watch over the kitchen and living room in Big Time Rush's apartment.

"Sure." I say. Amanda hands me the drill and I press the button to start the drill up. I press it against the wall and begin to make my way through.

"So where did you grow up?" Amanda asks, unloading several weapons from her bag and placing them securely in a nightstand draw.

"New York." I say. "And yourself?"

"I was adopted by a Finnish family when I was seven, so I consider Finland to be my home. Then, when I was fourteen my adoptive parents died, leaving me and my adoptive brother alone. He enrolled me here in St. Morris in The States for better opportunities in the future."

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"I miss Finland, but not all the water. I hate that there's so much water there."

I finish drilling through the wall. Amanda sees this and hands me the camera wire. I fish it through the wall and hook it up to a laptop. In less than thirty minutes, Amanda and I finish the rest of our set up and unpack our clothing.

We meet up with Kameryn and Erika in the hallway.

"No what?" Amanda asks, crossing her arms over her chest. "We finished set up and the guys aren't here right now. Should we go watch them at rehearsal to make sure nothing happens?"

I'm about to answer when I'm silenced by four boys' voices coming down the hall.

Carlos's POV

"Trust me, no way that the Nashville Predators could ever beat the Minnesota Wilds for the championship." Kendall states as we make our way down the hall to our hotel room.

"That guy on the radio is crazy." James says.

We round the corner to down our hall and to my surprise and everybody else's', there is actually someone there. A girl, about 5'7, and super skinny, but you can tell its' natural. Her long, jet black hair hangs just below her mid back.

"Who is that?" Logan whispers.

"Maybe a crazed fan waiting for us?" James whispers back

"Hey!" Kendall calls out. The girl seems hesitant in turning, but does anyways. We approach her and she remains in place. Her caramel brown eyes seem so calm that they could almost look fake.

"What are you doing here?" Kendall questions.

"My hotel room is right there." The girl says, pointing to the one on the left of ours.

"Well then." James says, pushing his way past Kendall and me. "I'm James Diamond, and those are my friends. Were Big Time Rush."

"Big Time Rush?" The girl says, cocking her head to the side. "Never heard of you guys. You good?"

"You bet!" I exclaim. The girl's eyes flash towards me for a moment, and then go back to James.

"I'm Erika." The girl says, extending her hand. James shakes it. As the two put their hands back down on their sides, the door to the right of our room opens up. Two girls come stumbling out, a worried look on their faces.

"Erika!" The shorter one of the two exclaims. She has dark brown hair with blonde and red highlights and small diamond nose ring. Erika turns around and looks at them.

"Get Kameryn." The second shortest of the two says. "Now." Her pin straight black hair that goes a little past her chest. She has light chocolate brown eyes, but you can that she has light gray contacts, making them almost white. She has a punk rocker look going on, like the shortest one.

Erika obeys and is banging on the door on the left. Kendall, James, Logan, and I exchange puzzled looks. The door that Erika was pounding on opens. "We need you." Erika says. A blonde hair girl that is about 5'6 steps out of the room. She is quickly walks past us and into the other room, something in hand. She rushes into the room, disappearing into it. The two girls who came out of the room re-enter, shutting the door behind them.

"Sorry about that. Just my friends. Nothing big." Erika says shrugging. "Well see you around." Erika turns to leave, but I stop her by grabbing her wrist. I can feel her body tense up, but she does nothing about it.

"Will we see you again?" I ask.

"Yeah." James says. "We have no rehearsals tonight. You guys should come over and we can hang out. We could watch a or movie or something."

"We'll see." Erika says. She shakes off my grip and slips into the room on the right without another word.

"That was…different." Kendall says. We nodded our heads in agreement.

"But that one with the red and blonde highlight was cute." James says.

"You're kidding me right?" Kendall says. "Did you not see the short one with black hair? She has to be like an angel sent down from heaven or something.

"Erika was amazing." I say dreamily.

"Well you three have fun staring at them if they come over tonight." Logan says. "Don't worry about me either. Just leave in the dust."

"There are four Logan. The blonde one who rushed out quickly." James points out.

"Nah, he's still holding out for that girl he saw at the park the other day." Kendall says, nudging Logan in the ribs.

"I'm hungry." I declare. "Can we eat before our next rehearsal in an hour?"

"Sure." Kendall laughs.

Kameryn's POV

I stand behind Amanda as Elena types away at one of several laptops set up on the kitchen table. A screen pops up and we can see Big Time Rush in the hotel room suite next door making some food, even though its' ten in the morning.

"Amanda and I were looking around before and we noticed something." Elena says. She types something on the keyboard and the camera zooms in on a little black dot on the fridge. She moves the mouse and the camera shifts to the near the TV. There is another black dot. The camera shifts again to a black dot on the edge of the table.

"Somebody bugged the room." Erika says. "Someone got in there before we did."

"There's a dozen in the kitchen and living room. The bathroom has several. We are unsure about the bedrooms. But we need to get those bugs out of there." Amanda states.

"So we just wait till they leave for rehearsal again, then we sneak in and get everything out of there." Erika says. "No problem."

I find my voice for this one. "Not so easy. There are security cameras positioned on the room. We will be seen sneaking in."

"Then we go through the window."

Amanda laughs. "Yah, that's smart. Crawling out on a two inch ledge when were fourteen stories off the ground with everybody from below looking at us."

"Well, we do we have one other option." Erika says. We all look at her in curiosity.

"The boys invited us over for a movie night. We can go in then and take the bugs."

Elena stands up from her chair. "Well, then tonight, girls were having a date with Big Time Rush."
