Chapter 7: Let's play revenge.
After an hour long helicopter ride full of Sam drool on my shoulder, we finally were able to exit the helicopter.
Taking my blindfold off, I saw a white van in front of us with no windows. We climbed in and rode for another 45 minutes and 16 seconds. Then, My mom's head popped out from the front seat.
"Your job today is to stop your target operatives from reaching their destination at 7:00. They will use every counter surveillance measure they know. They're very good, I expect you to be better." She then handed out manila folders to us all.
Name: Nathan Durango.
That was all I needed to know. I pushed open the big white van doors.
"Where are we?" asks Sharon from behind me.
The perfect place to get revenge I thought.
"We're at the mall in D.C." I turn around to see daughters of Gallagher alumni smirking. They know what's coming, and we've been waiting for it for years.
"Let's go get revenge."

Nate's POV
After spending 2 hours walking around, it was nearing 6:30, and I still hadn't seen a tail. Blake and I seemed were 2 of the 6 still in. Hayden, Jake, Carter, and Brad were the other 4. I was getting pretty bored when I saw Blake looking at 2 girls on a bench. The darker skinned girl was smiling flirtatiously at Blake while the fair skinned girl was trying to talk to her. I saw the girls exchange some words then turned to Blake.
"Come on. We don't have time to talk to girls. We have to get to the sipper exhibit."
He looked at the girls who were standing up now, then sighed and looked at me. But before he could reply, the dark skinned girl fell, tripping her other friend. Blake and I ran to help them.
"Are you guys alright?" I asked as I approached the fair skinned girl and helped her up, Blake picking up her friend.
"Yeah, I thin-ow!" fair skin tried to step with her left foot, then jumped back to her right.
"I think I twisted it." She said looking down at her foot. Blake was still holding he dark skinned friend, but she tried to walk over to fair skin.
"Ahh!" Dark skin let out a cry of pain as well falling back into Blake. "My knee!"
"Here, let us help you." offered Blake. "Where were you guys heading?"
"The food court." Fair skin replied.
"Oh! That's on the way to ruby slippers! We can help you there." I said putting fair skin's arm around my shoulder.
"Thank you…um.."
"Nate. My name's Nate."
"Thank you Nate, I'm Nancy."
"I'm Blake, by the way." Blake said to the girl he was holding.
"Aria." She replied.
We walked the girls to the food court, said our goodbyes and left. We only had 5 minutes to get to the ruby slippers.
We rounded the corner to the exhibit at 7:02.
"You're late." Mr. Goode said stepping out of the shadows.
"Yes, but we're alone." I replied.
"Not quite." He said.
"Hey, Blackthorne boys." Blake and I turned around to see Nancy and Aria behind us.
"These were the operatives tailing us?" I asked disbelieving. Nancy, or whoever she was, smiled at Mr. Goode, then turned with her friend and disappeared with her friend, leaving Blake and I speechless.
