Chapter 9
Ian's POV
I knocked on the hotel room that the Cahills were staying in. Natalie had sent me here on a mission, not a time to flirt. So I need to stay focus and stay Lucian. Lucians do what ever they need to to win.
Dan opened the door with a grin on his face, but when he saw me, his smile turned to a frown. He looked over to Amy, "Was does it want?" He asked her. She blushed and was going to start stuttering, but I had mercy and cut her off. "I am here for business. Natalie and I know that you guys are always ahead of the game, and unfortunately for you, we need to steal the clue. So fork over everything you have that even refers to the clue." Pretty straight forward. I knew that they obviously weren't going to, so I had a back up plan. Dan looked at me like I was crazy. "No. Why the heck would we give you all of our stuff?"
I quickly grabbed Dan's wrist and twisted it almost to the point of dislocation. If he even tried to move, he would dislocate his wrist. "That's why."From behind me, I heard a high pitched British voice retort, "That's why you shouldn't mess with us!"
I received a hard kick in the leg, let go off Dan, and fell to the floor.
I screamed in pain and there was a sickening snap. Man than girl can kick!
Dan's POV
I slammed the door on Ian.
"Direct hit!" Meg said.
"Meg, that was awesome!" I cheered, "You came in and was all like, 'Take that! Hi-ya!' and Ian was all like, 'Ahhh! Ow! My leg!' Burned!"
"It was nothing!" She said with a dazzling smile, "You should see my brother."
"I doubt he could beat that!"
"Anyway, what do you guys need help with?"
Amy explained, "In the treasure hunt, there are thirty-nine different things we need, called clues. So therefore, the hunt is called The Thirty-nine Clues. Each of the clues is an ingredient for something and we think you might know this one. Do you know what Hercules' sword was made of?"
"Just being that he is a hero, he has probably fought with more than one sword. So I can't tell which. And even if I could, there are so many things that it could be made out of! Copper, iron, bronze-"
"Ok." I said. "To the library!"
We walked to the door. I opened it for Meg, but she didn't walk through it.
"Come back for more?" She asked.
Ian just sneered. "You're going to pay for busting my leg!"
Like a gazelle, Meg jumped behind Ian to dodge a punch coming straight for her face.
She came back to his face and stuck a few punches in. Ian tried to hit her back, but she just shielded his hands with her own.
With in seconds, Meg had pinned him down on the floor.
"Dream girl!" I whispered to Amy.
"Who knew it would be so hard to get to the library?" She replied.
Ian looked terrified. "Please get off me. I'm wearing a thousand dollar-"
"Shut up!" And with that, Meg knocked him out. She sprang up into a karate move and bowed.
