One Mistake & No Survivors
Thanks go to Falling to Fly, Kameryn, and DemiLenaJonasBTR for helping me overcome my writer's block with their ideas. I loved every one of them, and actually I am working them into the rest of the story. Thanks for getting my brain working again.

Chapter Eleven
Welcome Back
Kameryn's POV
I quickly grab my duffel bag filled with clothes and run out of the airport. I race down streets, my bag flying out behind me. I hit several people walking down the street, not even caring. I run down a flight of stairs which leads to underground subways, weaving in and out of people waiting for the train. I run down to an empty platform, and take a leap onto the tracks. I hit the ground with a thud and quickly feel my way along the walls, searching for the hidden switch. I press the block in and the wall spins, bringing me into the Los Angeles's Spy Headquarters. Spies move about, voices bouncing off the glass walls. Several stand at desks, talking into headsets and typing away on computers. A group of ten men are in front of a giant board that has flashing red lights on them. Everybody is moving about, and not a single person is sitting still.
"Miss Clarke." Agent Gomez says. Agent Gomez is a tall, lanky man with a full head of gray hair. He shakes my hand and gestures for me to follow him into his office.
"I'm very sorry we have to meet under these circumstances." Agent Gomez states. I sit across from him and drop my duffel bag onto the floor.
"How did they escape?" I question. "Because last time I checked, Ciri, Astoria, Vivian, Samantha, and Janessa were supposed to be locked up at London Headquarters, and not attacking me back in New York."
"There was an apprentice." Agent Gomez says, sliding an open file towards me. I pick it up and flip through the pages. "Or rather, there is an apprentice. His name is Jackson East."
"Caleb Caridth's best friend?" I ask in shock, remembering seeing Jackson and Elena's brother, Caleb, hanging around St. Morris's before the two graduated.
"Yes. Mr. East has been off the radar since he graduated, and just made reappearance in London as the five girls escaped. Mr. East snuck in as a guard and released them from their cells. We believe him to be here in Los Angeles, attempting to complete what Charles West couldn't."
"Do Elena, Amanda, and Erika know?" I ask, placing the file back down on Agent Gomez's desk.
"Are your four planning on teaming up?" Agent Gomez asks.
"I just assumed we were." I shrug. "We did a good job the first time around, so I figured the second time you team us up again so we could do even better."
"Miss Clarke," Agent Gomez sighs, "Actually, we had no intentions of teaming you, Miss Caridth, Miss Anderson, and Miss Castriel up again. Rather, we were going to send more experienced agents out into the field."
"You're kidding me right!" I say. "Your experienced agents couldn't even track West down for years; it took us less than a month to do it."
"That is true, but have you forgotten how you, Miss Caridth, Miss Anderson, and Miss Castriel revealed yourselves as spies to Big Time Rush?"
"To protect them!" I practically shout. I take a deep breathe, calming myself a little. "Elena, Amanda, Erika, and I should be allowed back into the field."
"Miss Grace, you retired as a field agent a year ago to become a teacher." Agent Gomez points out. "Are you saying your back in?"
I don't even miss a beat as I blurt out what I have wanted to say for the past year. "Of course I'm back in."
Elena's POV
I walk into headquarters right here in Los Angeles with Caleb at my side. I'm in less pain than I was three days ago, when I was brutally attacked at a weapon trade gone wrong. Caleb did a good job at patching me up, and most of the pain in my body is gone. I have a few bruises on me, but other than that I'm ready to get back into the field.
I enter Agent Gomez's office, and to my surprise Kameryn is there. We just make eye contact as I take a seat in the corner of the room. Erika and Amanda enter next, and much like me, they are surprised to see Kameryn, as they are to see me. I can't blame them though; after a whole year of no contact, seeing someone you haven't talk too, seen, or heard from one after such a long absence is a shock to anyone.
Amanda stands near the doorway while Erika takes a seat on the far side of the room. Agent Gomez looks at all of us before speaking.
"As all of you have heard, Ciri Russo, Astoria Greenbaum, Janessa Manning, Samantha Tyler, and Vivian Gold have all escaped our custody and have returned here to the states. We have tracked them down here to the city, and we are calling on you four to aid in their recapture, along with another face."
"Don't tell me you lost West again." Amanda says.
"Actually, we have a new face. Charles West's apprentice, Jackson East."
"Jackson?" I blurt out, remembering the blonde haired, blue eye boy who I had grown up with. The boy who ate dinner over my house every Friday night and is my brother's best friend. "Tell me you're kidding me."
"I wish I was." Agent Gomez says. "But, Mr. East was the one who released the girls and brought them back to the states. We have reason to believe that they are once again after Big Time Rush."
"Why do you need us?" Amanda asks. "If you haven't notice, the four of us split up a year ago."
"We'll we need you four to reassemble." Agent Gomez says. "Miss Caridth, Miss, and Miss Castriel, you are all active field agents at the moment. Miss Clarke has agreed to leave retirement and join you back in field."
"What about teaching Kam?" I ask. Kameryn turns and faces me. "I thought you loved that."
"Things change." Kameryn replies. She turns back in her chair, leaving me shocked. I look at Erika, who looks at me, stunned.
"Where are the boys?" Erika asks. "I mean, are we supposed to reveal ourselves to them, or stay hidden in the shadows?"
Agent Gomez stands up from his chair and walks out of the room. The four of us follow him through several hallways until we reach a wooden door. Agent Gomez opens the door and Amanda, Erika, Kameryn, and I crowd in the doorway to see what is in the room.
And in the room is Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan.
