A/N I'm sorry I did not post for a while I was busy I appreciate all the reads and votes that I have received there is a book 2 on the way as well. I will be posting i story that I have made so if u want to read that than pls follow me but with that said it is now time for the story.....

The next morning I woke up and rubbed my head, I'd had multiple nightmares.

I walked into the living/dining room to find Miles asleep on one couch and Ben asleep on the other.

I picked up a cushion which lay on the floor and hit them both over the head with it.

"Oww, what was that for!" Miles yelled, "what time did you go to bed?" I asked, trying not to laugh at the look on his face, "12" he replied simply.

"He's lying" said Ben "we went to bed at 2:30", with that I turned around and hit Miles over the head again with the cushion.

He desperately tried to cover his face with his arms, but failed, giving me the opportunity to hit him again.

"Okay, enough" he cried, getting up, snatching the cushion off me and running after me with it.

I hid in the bathroom and stood there trying to steady my breathing. When I thought he was gone I left the bathroom and walked back out to the living room, but he jumped out and attacked me with the cushion.

I screamed playfully and covered my face, trying to grab the cushion.

My arms were still covering my face, he must have thrown the cushion back onto the couch, because he peeled my arms away from my face and looked at me.

I think he went in to kiss me, but Ben yelled out "no you guys don't. I have seen enough of that", but me being the person I am, I placed my hands either side of Miles's face and quickly kissed him.

Ben, now pissed, picked up the cushion and walked over to me, trying to hit me with the cushion.

Miles snatched it off him, walked over to the door and threw it out onto the pavement.

"Hey!" I yelled stepping outside to retrieve it, "this costs money", "my bad" said Miles shrugging.

I hit him, stormed down to my bedroom and placed the cushion on my bed before shutting the door and walking back down the hallway.

"Now it is safe and no one will be tempted to hit anyone with it", "might I remind you" began Ben "that you started it", "that's not the point!" I yelled.

We all ended up laughing and when we stopped I said "I'm making myself a coffee, so leave me alone", "oooh, can't distract her from her coffee making" said Miles in a playful voice, I rolled my eyes and walked into the kitchen.

Despite having Miles back and Ben happy, I was still stressed about having little time to finish the HNS, people had started dying.

From being shot and not even the police knew who was responsible.

The weight of the world rested on my shoulders and I could do nothing but carry it.

So far 100 New Zealanders had died, and all I could do was try my best to stop them before it got any worse.

"Celine!" I heard Ben yell, "HNS member reported just outside Hornby Mall!"We had set up a monitor in the living room for Ben so when he had to do his work he could go straight there and Maria could send the reports to the computer.

"On it!" I called back, picking up my bag and leaving.

I jumped into my car and sped down the street, but still following the set speed limit.

I arrived at the mall and parked my car in a parking space, almost crashing into the barrier in front of me, "shit" I muttered.

I got out of my car and walked around scanning the area, before putting in my ear piece, "CELINE!" Ben's voice screamed in my ear, "owww!" I cried "oops sorry, you weren't answering, so I thought something had happened", "nothing happened I'm fine, just tell me where I need to go" I replied angrily, "meh whatever. Okay he is located on the top floor of the mall, in the car park", he told me "your kidding" I said "no. Why?" Ben answered, "because I parked down the very bottom".

"Hahaha" Ben laughed before clearing his throat and telling me to just drive up.

I got back into my car and backed out of my parking spot.

A few minutes later I found a parking spot on the top floor, "right are you sorted?" Ben asked "yes now, where is he?" "Or she" he added "anyway just go-", "nevermind I've already found him" I said before sprinting across the carpark.

I could see him hiding behind some cars, dressed in black and holding a sniper rifle.

I snuck up behind him, planning on killing him but he turned around and kicked me in the stomach dropping the rifle in the process, I doubled over clutching my stomach and trying to regain my balance. I ducked as he missed a second blow, which would have hit me in the head, I then stuck my foot out and sent him falling, as he ran towards me.

I pulled out my assassin dagger and pulled his head back, by pulling his hair, then I cut his throat, letting the blood run over the asphalt.

"Ben, are you still there?" I asked, "yup I'm here, a team is on the way to dispose of the body" he replied, "ok thanks, I better go and calm things down below" I said peering over the edge of the parking lot barrier, "looks like 4 are dead and 6 injured".

"Okay" replied Ben, "you better hurry though, police are on the way", "got it, be home soon" and with that I switched off the ear piece.

I drove my car down the ramp and parked it out front.

Running I went to look at the bodies, "dead, dead, and dead" I whispered.

"Miss, miss!" I heard someone yell "are you a detective!?" she had been crying and was clutching the hands of her children, "yes, detective Celine" I said standing up "wh-what happened? I-is h-he dead" she was trying so hard not to break down I could tell "I'm really really sorry ma'am" I replied, and with that she broke down.

The world around me seemed to be filled with cries for help, of the people who were injured and cries from the loved ones who had lost a family member or friend.

I couldn't take it anymore and I fled the scene getting in my car and driving home.
