Dan's POV

Amy and I silently followed Natalie towards the mansion. She seems a bit paranoid, looking back every few seconds. This makes it hard for me and my sister to stay hidden. I could have sworn she looked right at me! But she just kept walking, occasionally stopping to listen. Then her phone starts to ring

"Hello?... I'm on my way!... Just be patient! I'll be there soon... Bye!" Natalie looked angry.

That's when it hit me. She must be meeting with Ian for revenge on the Starlings! She doesn't want anyone following so that we can't warn them! I smile and look over at Amy, only she's not there. I look around to see Natalie farther up the path and Amy hiding in the tall grass as she turns around again. I rush up to meet them. Of course this was not so silent and Natalie saw me.

"Daniel! Have you been following me?!" She practically screamed, she had this awesome look of horror and shock mixed together.

"No, I just...was going to get more sunscreen." Dan replied.

"Your telling me no one on the beach has sunscreen?" She asked skeptically

"Yeah, no one."

"Daniel, I know your lying."

"Fine. I saw you leave the beach after seeing something on your phone and I wanted to find out how long I could follow you without being seen."

"I'm sure. Now I know you won't going back the beach so-" here she pulled her dart gun out of her bag, "-I suppose I'll have to knock u out for a while." Then she shot him and continued on her way.

Amy's POV

It took all my willpower not to scream as Natalie shot Dan with her dart gun. As soon as she was out of sight, I rushed over to Dan.

"Dan! Are you ok?" Of course I didn't get a response, but I could tell he was still breathing. I dragged him to the side of the trail and continued after Natalie.

Natalie's POV

After shooting Daniel, I continued walking towards the mansion. However just in case he wasn't alone, I warned Ian and took a slight detour into a clearing and hid on the other side. It wouldn't long for anyone else to appear, only to get knocked out like Daniel.

After waiting a total of five minutes I decided it was safe and started to return to the Cahill estate. Once I was back on the path I nearly collided with Amy.

Before she could run away I grabbed her wrist. I should have known she would be with him.

"I assume you want sunblock too?" I asked sarcastically.

"No! I was looking for Dan. I found him on the path with this sticking out of his chest." Amy held up the dart." I suspected you and when I found you weren't on the beach, I thought you would be headed back to the house. Obviously I'm right."

Amy's POV

I disturbed me how easily I was lying to the Cobra. Fortunately I was prepared in case this happened, I didn't want to end up with a dart in me.

"Whatever! If you had really been looking for Daniel you would have brought him with you."

"I brought him back to the beach and asked Hamilton to watch him for me." Which was half true. I had sent a text to Ham letting him know what was going on and he said he would take care of Dan.

"Uh huh sure, well you found me...now what?"

I hadn't been expecting that question. I know stupid of me, but I was so mad about Dan and curious as to where she was going. So instead of answering I rolled my eyes and walked towards the mansion, which was now in view.

When we got there. Ian angrily burst through the door. "Where have you-" he stopped when he saw me. "Why is she here?" He asked more calmly.

"Apparently she wants revenge on me for shooting Daniel. I think she was following me and that was her cover story." Natalie explained cooly.

Ian looked back and forth, first at me and then Natalie. "Come inside, I've been waiting for you, Natalie for what seems like hours."

Ian's POV

I walked back inside nervously. How was I going to explain my new plan to Nat without Amy hearing. She's best friends with Sinead, so she would definitely tell her. I sat on the couch and Natalie took a seat in a chair diagonal to me. Amy stood there for a moment looking uncertain as to whether she should sit or not.

"I'll make some lunch." she decided and then disappeared into the kitchen. I looked back at Natalie; she was writing on the notepad that had been sitting on the table. When she was done she passed it to me. It read: I don't trust that she won't be eavesdropping. Write you plan on this.

I raised an eyebrow at her as I heard a dish fall and shatter, then Amy scream. None the less, I spent a few minutes writing out my plan.

What if we use the truth serum on Sinead (poison 1,221) and the poison that makes you tell your deepest, darkest secrets on Ned and Ted (I'm not sure which one that is, poison was always your specialty). First we would have to find a way to keep them from running so we can do it one at a time. We can ask Sinead questions like if she has a crush on anyone here and who, for some reason it's always embarrassing for girls when they have to confess who they like.

I watched a smile work itself across my sister' space as she read my idea.

"Let's do it!" She said aloud and rushed to her room to load her dart gun.
