Just Undercover ✔️

Chapter 38

Yay for early updates!

"So we have the second USB but we don't know how to open it," Eric said staring at the little piece of metal.

"Well how did you open the other one?" Blaire asked.

"Helena," he told her simply.

"Oh," she replied looking uncomfortable. Eric shifted from one foot to the other.

"We need to call her," I said softly.

"What???" Eric looked at me with a bewildered expression.

"We need to call her," I repeated louder.

"No, are you crazy. Thats such a bad idea," he shook his head immediately.

"We don't have time for dwelling on the past. This is strictly professional. Call her right now and tell her to come," I instructed. Eric scowled but grabbed his phone and sent a quick message.

"I hope you know what you're doing," he mumbled.

"Don't I always?" I snickered.

"If we're doing this then we need to call the other girls," Blaire spoke up.

"My aunt and brother are home though," I said shaking my head.

"We need to sneak out, we can meet at my house," Eric offered.

"Alright, notify the girls. I'll try to disable the alarm system," Blaire said as she walked downstairs. Or limped really since she wasn't 100% back to normal yet.

"I don't think this is such a good idea," Eric whispered.

"Because of Helena? We need to open this USB, who knows what Koslov will do," I told him shaking my head.

"Can't we just give it to your aunt and show her it was in her necklace?" he asked but I shook head.

"She doesn't trust me. We're on our own," I told him.

"But-

"I disabled it let's go," Blaire interrupted whatever Eric was about to say.

"Lets go," I said pointing to the window. Since the alarm system was down we could easily open a window and sneak out.

"So now what we just walk to my house?" Eric muttered once we were safely down on the ground.

"Suck it up princess," Blaire laughed at him and we began the long walk to his house.

~~~~

"Why are you just sitting there?" Blaire asked with a look of disdain towards Helena. We'd found her sitting on Eric's porch when we arrived at his house.

"His sister didn't let me in, she slammed the door in my face," she explained indifferently, her British accent as prominent as ever.

"Guess she isn't all bad after all," Eric said thinking out loud about his sister and I smacked his shoulder.

"What?"

"We need Helena's help you idiot," I told him.

"Look whatever you guys need me to do, I'll do it and I'll get out of your way. Consider it paying my debt for causing trouble," she said looking sincere.

"Alright but we have to wait for everyone else," Eric nodded his head.

We finally managed to convince Eric's sister to let Helena in with us. After engulfing me in a hug she got out of our way so Helena could set up her things in the living room.

A few minutes later Palma, Lavender, and Tiffany showed up with a black bag. They also glared at Helena but she didn't even notice them.

"Whats in the bag?" I asked Tiffany.

"After breaking into Koslov's all of our things were fried. I'm trying to get it back. Everything we heard and saw was recorded. I heard when Kingsley admitted to being Koslov when he was talking to you. If I could get it back we could use it as evidence," Tiffany explained opening the bag showing me her computer and all the intercom systems.

I nodded my head happily. Even if my aunt and brother didn't believe me I had my team supporting me. They heard Koslov, they believed me. They had my back. We're going to get through this.

"So do you want me to open up this USB then?" Helena asked and I replied by nodding my head.

"It'll be done in no time," she promised and got to work. The rest of us tried to help Tiffany to get the intercoms to work again. We all worked in silence other than Helena's computer typing.

"I think I've got it, do you want me to print it? It's only one page," she said and I nodded my head.

"The printer is under the computer," Eric said.

"Alright, my debt has been paid. We're even," Helena smiled and handed me the paper. She grabbed her things and walked out the door without glancing at anyone else. I took a look at the paper and I felt head spin.

"Palma, Blaire I need you guys to look at this," I said in an almost whispered voice. The thing printed on the paper was a blue print for some sort of weapon. They looked at each other and walked over to me.

"What is it?"

"I don't know but it looks bad," I said handing them the paper.

"It's worse than bad," Palma uttered.

"What is it Palma?" I asked her. By this time everyone had crowded around us looking at the paper in Palma's hand.

"It's some sort of bio weapon. According to the information on here its supposed to be able to target an individuals DNA and slowly combust them from the inside out," she explained.

"So how bad is that?" Lavender asked biting her lip.

"You could basically program the weapon to destroy the president from the comfort of your home," Blaire summed it up.

"What does this have to do with Callahan and the oil mines?" I asked out loud as I took the paper and paced in the living room.

"Thats where I come in," I heard a voice snicker and suddenly I felt a cold metallic object pressed to my head.

A gun

~~~~~

Sorry for yet another cliff hanger!! I swear its the last one! I hope....

Anyways who do you think is holding the gun? What do you think this all has to do with Callahan and the oil mines???
