Scarlet drive on the quiet roads leading to the arena where the FTM thing was happening. And where Matt would be.

The two trackers sat in a Zipbloc bag in her jacket pocket.

A black leather jacket, a sexy black dress and some strappy sandals. The makeup was minimal and her hair was in a high ponytail.

She wasn't sure if she was over or under dressed for the event.

The show was at 7:00 and it was already approaching 5:45. The tickets that were sent told her to be there by 6:00 for some backstage time.

Surprisingly, by the time she reached the arena, she could other people lining up, dressed in t-shirts and jeans. An occasional tie and that was about it.

Standing around, the slight November breeze against her legs, she watched the line slowly gain people.

"Scarlet Callisto?" Looking up, a security guard helped her out of line and to the backstage thing. It was 6:00. Scarlet could feel the jealousy coming off the other girls.

The warm heat was nice against her bare legs. He lead her to some dressing rooms.

To her delight, the guys, including Matt were standing around. They were dressed in soldier jackets. Ridiculous yet adorable.

"Hi!" They said in unison. She smiled broadly. At Matt is particular.

Josh knew it. He had fallen in love with her. He didn't even know her name. But he wanted her.

Scarlet advanced to Matt. He got up giving her a hug. She hugged back. The manual tracker in her palm, ready to be activated.

Her arms instinctively went around his neck. This would probably be her only chance. The chance to choose right or wrong.

The tracker was small and would stick through his skin so it wouldn't wash away or moved.

"Ow!" Matt recoiled. She entered it quickly and already knew what she was going to say.

"Sorry," she gave her best innocent face "nail must've chipped or something. You ok?"

"Yeah. I'm fine. It's all cool" he replied. He rubbed the back his neck sorely. Did it hurt him that much? Scarlet felt kind if bad.

"Your name?" Ian asked. He didn't fall for her. There was something suspicious about her. Something unsettling.

"Scarlett."

Scarlett was a beautiful name for a beautiful girl thought Josh with a goofy smile on his face.

"Age?" Ian pushed on. She seemed like one of those older Trenchers.

"Getting personal here, eh?" She said humorously earning a laugh. "But I'm 26"

A little younger.

"Take a seat" Matt offered, patting the spot beside him. She took it happily.

"How about pictures?" Mike suggested.

Just another VIP Trencher. Nothing at all.

They took turns taking pictures with each other. Truthfully, the one where Scarlett was pressed against Matt as he pulled her closer was the best.

Time for part B to kick in.

"Damn it! My phone's dead!" She angrily sat down. "I needed to call someone."

Being the gentleman he was, "You can borrow mine" Matt pulled out his iPhone.

Smiling thankfully she took it, unlocking it and doing what the note Pat left with her told her to.

Go to settings.

Save files.

Change the SIM card to tracking one.

Close it back.

Make a "call".

Hand it back.

"Thank you very much." She said with a genuine smile.

Look at Matt and Scarlett. Josh though bitterly. He usually didn't get jealous.

7:00 came quickly with the laughter and conversation with the guys. They were funny and witty. A great combo.

"See you after the show!" Josh told her. Getting ready for what she assumed was a show.

That's what FTM was! A show.

Heading into the crowd, front row, she was adsorbed by the fans and cheers.

The first chords of the first song came on and out came Josh.

Although Scarlett was oblivious to most of show, she couldn't help but notice how good looking Matt was when he played his guitar.

And when he stripped to his boxers, even Scarlet screamed earning a wink from Josh.

The show finished around 9:00, when most people headed out to their cars. Not Scarlet. More VIP privileges.

She followed the guys back stage where there was light and where she noticed a small tear in the dress.

There, the guys were taking off their costumes and replacing them with regular jackets. Not Matt though. He took of his shirt and Scarlet couldn't help but feel a churning in her stomach.

He smiled at her before they got ready to leave "We're gonna go say "hi" to the fans. So this tour has ended. Thanks Scar."

Scar. Interesting nickname.

"Thanks so much Matt" she smiled giving him another warm hug.

Running her fingers lightly against his neck, he could feel the slightest bump of the tracker.

"Bye you guys!" Scarlet said as she hugged all the guys.

Embracing the cold, she left the arena and watched from a distance as the guys took more pictures and signed merchandise.

Heading into her car, she drove into the silent night. Pulling out her phone, she was pleased to see that the trackers were working nicely and were active.

Creepy. Yet passionate.
