Chapter 4- to
"If you tell me where, I'm waiting here. Everyday like Slumdog Millionaire.
Whoa, wherever the wind blows me. You're still the one and only girl on my mind.
I would scream to the world They would see you're my girl."
Logan's cellphone rings.
"Hello." Logan groggily speaks into his Iphone as he rolls in bed.
"Hey, Logan? Ya it's James and well something um maybe…" James stutters on the other side.
"What James." Logan says annoyed at being up at nine on a Saturday. "I'm still sleeping."
"I kind of found out when I talked to you online."
"Wait what?" Logan sits up rubbing his eyes staring at Carlos playing his laptop. "I'm not on my computer. I'm still sleeping."
"Ya that's the problem. I kind of thought you were on so I kind of maybe hinted…" He mumbles the rest incoherently.
"What!" Logan throws his phone on the bed and jumps to the desk.
"Hi Logie." Carlos says right before Logan tugs the rolling chair away from the laptop. "What was that for?"
Logan ignores him closing all his tabs and documents hoping that Carlos didn't read any of them. "Nothing Carlos. James just told me some stuff I guess."
"Oh." Carlos walks over to the nervous brunette. "James is weird. He keeps repeating 'the little bunny will never find out, smiley face' over and over."
Logan stares at him with wide eyes. "Did he say anything else?"
"Yep, he said 'the bunny will never win without the nerd' but I don't understand him." Carlos crosses his arms and laughs. "And people call me the dumb one."
Logan sighs in content that for once Carlos doesn't understand James. "Yep James is the weird one. But what were you doing on my laptop? Did you close or READ any of my documents?"
"The one labeled 'easy places for rabbit'?" Carlos asks raising an eyebrow. "Nope, why would I read your homework if I don't read my own?"
Logan sighs happily again. "No reason then why were you on?"
He shrugs his shoulders. "I was researching places for the next clue and I think it is in Bitter's office. Did you know Bitter soundproofed only his office even though he said that all the walls in the hotel are soundproof?"
"I didn't know that." Logan says shutting off his computer. "Let's go check out Bitter's office."
Carlos giggles.
"What's so funny?" Logan asks hearing his bubbly friend hold in his laughter.
"Not funny but cute I guess." Carlos answers trying think of a better adjective. "I mean your wallpaper when you shut down your computer is a picture of just us with our arms around each others' neck in the fountain."
"Yea…" Logan rubs the back of his neck blushingly. "I wanted a picture of the four of us but they're badly airbrushed. That was the only good picture." Logan lies.
"Can you forward me the wallpaper?" He asks. "I want it for my computer too."
"Sure Carlos." Logan smiles walking out the door. "Let's go to Bitter's office."
"Ok… I'll go first." Carlos eyes Logan up and down making Logan feel awkward. "You can come after you change into less geeky clothes."
Logan runs into the bathroom realizing he is in his chemistry theme pj.
Down in the lobby
"Mr. Bitter!" Carlos calls. "Jo is hiding a cow on the roof and I think Katie said your mother called and said she is playing spies."
"Wait what!" The manager asks surprised.
Carlos smirks proudly that his plan might actually work. "Well the cow"
"NO!" Mr. Bitter interrupts. "My mother?"
"Oh, she is playing spies with you and Katie. She is hiding in room four, three, some number I forgot but she is in the hotel."
"Dang it! Now I have to check every room." He exclaims loudly. "Carlos, I will remove an X from your door if you stay in my office and tell everyone I'll be back."
"Deal!" Carlos screams watching the manager run down the hallway.
"Out of my way!" Bitter yells at Logan as he rushes to the elevator.
"What is wrong with him?" Logan asks confused.
"The usual but I got us in his office." Carlos answers smugly walking into the small workroom. "Ok, I'll check the drawers and"
"And I need to call James." Logan finishes Carlos' sentence pulling out his phone. "I'll be back in a second, sorry Carlos." Carlos shrugs his shoulders and ducks under the desk.
"James." Logan whispers into the phone sitting in the lobby.
"So sorry Logain. I really thought it was you on the computer."
"He could have figured it out!" Logan scowls his face. "What happens if Carlos finds out it is me?"
"That's good." James says feeling Logan's tension. "Why don't you tell him and forget the whole game?"
"No, Carlos is really into the game and last night I heard him say stuff." Logan brushes his hand through his front locks. "Right before sleeping, Carlos was praying and thanking god that there is someone who cares enough to make a game for him."
"Sounds like he likes you." James sings.
"I'm not sure he likes guys yet James." Logan sighs looking at Carlos making a mess of the office. "I don't know. I just panicking this morning when I thought he found out and that maybe he'll be crush if he finds out I made the game."
"Carlos is not the type of person to hate you Logan." He consoles. "If anything he will like you more for thinking of him."
"Maybe, I guess." Logan says hearing a sigh.
"Look Logan, sorry about this morning. I'll make sure I don't hint that it is you anymore ok?"
"Thanks James but"
"But nothing. Carlos is going to love you, not like, but love you. Just play the game out. I promise not to cause trouble."
"And I promise to make sure Jamies stays out." Logan smiles hearing Kendall shouting.
"Thanks guys. Hey, talk to you later. You put the next one in place?" Logan asks.
"We did Logain." Kendall answers. "See you in a bit."
Logan smiles thinking maybe he is over thinking this game, that maybe Carlos will like him. He shakes his head of the discontent and walks to the door. "You found it yet?"
"No!" Carlos shrieks. "Someone is really good at hiding thing but I did find my skateboard."
"Maybe it's not here." Logan states leaning against the door frame.
"Where can it be?" Carlos yells scratching his head.
"Spending money like it don't mean a thing I'm going crazy now I don't even think.
Yes, I may meet a million pretty girls That know my name
But don't you worry, no' Cause you have my heart"
"Hello." Carlos answers his phone as Logan scrunches his face at Carlos' ringtone. "Ok bye James." He puts it back in his pocket before looking at Logan. "What?"
"What is your ringtone?"
"Oh, I asked Gustavo to makes me a ringtone of my favorite parts of our songs."
Logan raises an eyebrow. "Those are my solos."
"Yep. I likes those parts because no matter what happens you have my heart." Carlos says with a genuine smile. Logan smiles looking at the floor. "What about you?"
"What about me?"
"I heard your phone ring ten times this morning and I thought your Iphone was broke because it was stuck on my solos."
Logan blushes, profusely rubbing his neck. "That was my ringtone and those are the parts I like the most because you sang you will wait anywhere… for me." He whispers the last part.
Carlos chuckles. "I guess we have some incredible solos." Logan joins and laughs.
"So what did James says?"
"Oh, oh yeah. He said Gustavo wants to see us but I want to find the clue first." Carlos whines falling on the leather chair.
"Well maybe somewhere in Rocque Record is soundproof." Logan taps Carlos shoulder.
"The sound booth!" Carlos exclaims tugging Logan's arm. "Let's run!"
"Carlos, slow down." Logan yells as they whiz by Mr. Bitter.
"No running!" The manager shakes his head. "I hate Big Time Rush. Mother! Where are you?"
At Roque Record
"Hey Carlos." Kendall raises his hand.
"Not now Kendall." Carlos says speeding to the sound room, ignoring Kendall's hand.
James chuckles and walks over and gives his boyfriend a high five. "Better?"
"With a kiss?"
"Ew. Get a room." Logan says disgustedly, panting from trying to keep up with Carlos' running speed.
James laughs hugging his boyfriend. "Logan is jealous that I have a boyfriend he doesn't have his bunny yet."
"SHH James." Logan frantically whispers. 'Carlos can hear you."
"How?" Kendall asks spinning around with his hands in the air. "He is in the soundproof room. No sound can go in or out."
"GOT IT!" Carlos shouts showing them the envelope through the window.
"You forgot Carlos is special." Logan whispers as Carlos dashes to them. "Wow Carlos you found another clue. What is it?"
"Well Logie, the card is 'to' and the clue is… 'protection'?" Carlos says questioningly. "Where is protection?"
