DOES NO ONE READ THE AUTHOR'S NOTE! I'M IN A RAGE!

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Ian woke up at 3 am to the sound of the Vesper phone beeping. He didn't like sleep that much anyway.

The message read:

Well done Cahills! I think this deserves a bit of a reward don't you? Well, a certain person will be on their way back to you! But I do think it's a little unfair that Dan and Amy get to have all the fun. Poor Ian, Sinead, Ned, Elizabeth, Hamilton, and Jonah, stuck being the sidekicks while the hero and heroine are of saving the damsels and knights in distress.

For your next task, I think Prince Ian will have to be a knight for his Princess Amy. And if Jester Dan comes along, let's just say it won't be a happily ever after. Get your sword ready to slay the big old dragon. How is Princess Elizabeth? Does she think she can get away with what she did to us? This story has just begun. ;)

Ian decided that the others didn't need sleep either.

"And so the famous musician finally found the girl who the ear buds had been custom made for, and they lived happily ever after in his mansion."

"Cool! Hey Nellie?"

"Yeah?"

"You know Ben, that guy about your age who apparently is some-person-we-haven't-met's brother?"

"What about him?"

"He's staring at you." Nellie looked and Ben abruptly looked away. Nellie ignored it.

"Do you wanna hear another story?'

"Sure!"

"This one is called Rain Black and the seven band members…"

At 6:00 Ian had showed them all the text and the reactions were similar.

Sinead: Horror struck face, slightly pale, looked better when Hamilton hugged her.

Ned: In severe pain, most likely because of head ache.

Hamilton: Upset, focused on comforting Sinead.

Jonah: Worried about Elizabeth, frantic, apparently not confused by Elizabeth's suggested secret.

Elizabeth: Paled considerably, pulse sped up, shows signs of fear, guilt, and anger.

Interesting to say the least.

"Ted?"

"Yeah, Madison?"

"While Reagan's pre-occupied, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Do you have a crush on her?"

"Are you going to tell her my answer?"

"No."

"Yes, I have a crush on her."

"I don't need to tell her because she's right behind you."

"Crap. Madison, I hate you."

So, one Starling brother hated her and one of them didn't-like-her-like-that. She must be on a roll.

Whoever woke Amy up at 4:00 in the morning was going to fell the wrath of bookworm,

"Hello, love."

Unless it was Ian.

"Ian, you do realize its 4:00 in Monte Carlo, right?"

"Yes, but I don't care. Love, you and Dan have to get back right now. Get the soonest flight you can even if it's in ten minutes. Leave your stuff, just come back now."

Amy would have told him he was being crazy, but the urgency in his voice made her stop. For the first time since she's known him he seemed afraid.

"Alright. I'll wake Dan up and we'll be there as soon as we can."

"Amy, in case I don't see you in time, I want to tell you something."

"What?"

"I love you. I've loved you since even before Korea, and I'll love you until I die, which might be regrettably soon. I understand if you don't feel the same way, but I love you so much it hurt knowing that you didn't know.

"Amy? Love? Amy, are you there?" Unfortunately Amy didn't get to hear his heartfelt confession. She had already been taken.

Ted had just admitted his feelings for Reagan without even realizing he was admitting them to Reagan. It wasn't just a crush, it was more.

Whenever he saw her he got these pains in his chest, and he just knew it was her fault. That bitch. (A/N How many AVPM fans do we got here?)

Before he could come up with an argument of some kind he heard the door being unlocked. He grabbed Reagan's hand and pushed her behind him, his first thoughts being about protecting her.

He heard a man step in, based on the foot falls he was about 6 feet 4 inches, and grab one of the hostages. He didn't know who, because, hello, he's blind, but he had a feeling that he should be envious that they were getting out.

"Nellie?"

"I know that them being taken away is kinda distracting, but can you continue the story?"

"Oh sure, sorry about that. And so the witch, in disguise of Steve Jobs, gave Rain Black an Apple computer with a virus in it…"

At 7:00 o clock there was a knock on the door. The Cahills had a silent argument about who would answer it. Jonah put a protective arm around Elizabeth, saying that she wasn't going, Hamilton did the same with Sinead, and Ned was too pre-occupied with his head ache to join the wordless conversation.

Ian sighed, but got up and went to the door. He opened it and there lying on the door step, tied up, was…

So here is the part where you decide which of the hostages gets given back! It can't be Nellie, Phoenix, Ted, or Reagan. Leave your opinion in the form of a review!
