Barbie's POV

"Barbie....breathe....it's going to be okay!"

I looked up.
"Ken is in danger because of me! I have to do something!" I shouted desperately.

Cassandra placed a hand on my shoulder.

"One thing at a time. If we're going to save him, we need to know who took him, where he is and why they took him in the first place," Cassandra reasoned.

I sighed. She was right. I couldn't try a sudden rescue mission. It was going to be very risky. I could put myself, my teammates and Ken in danger.

"I think I have a way to free him," Patricia stood up immediately and she grabbed her phone, "I'm going to make some phone calls and pull some strings."

Teresa got down on typing something on her laptop.

"Watcha doing there?" Renee asked.

Teresa sighed.
"Apparently...there is a gala in the White House tonight for exhibiting brand new weaponry."

I stopped in my tracks.
Is that why Patricia was framed?
So we couldn't go to this gala?

What is going on? Are they planning a heist or some attack?!

"I am positive that they're going to pull off something during the gala," I stated seriously, "There must be a way to stop them!"

"How?" Sarah asked, "May I remind you that Patricia is framed? We can't go there without being arrested!"

I sighed and considered my options.
Patricia was framed....but I wasn't.

"I'll go," I said causing everyone to gasp in surprise however I continued, "Our mission is to stop whatever this terrorist organization is planning. And I am not backing down."

"This whole thing seems like a trap, Barbie!" Cassandra exclaimed, "Think about it! All of the sudden, Patricia gets framed, those guys which in fact some of them could be working for Dunbar chase us in the museum today and now Ken gets kidnapped!"

I thought of it for a minute.
It did seem like a trap. They were trying to draw me out in the open and then kill me.

"A trap or not....I should do something," I argued.

Renee sighed and stepped forward.
"Fine then. We're coming with you."

I blinked in shock and surprise but then I quickly realized what she meant.
"What?!? No! Guys, this is dangerous!"

"Barbie....for God's sake! We're a team! We faced everything together. Now is no difference," Cassandra sighed, "We're coming."

I sighed.
There's no arguing with them!

Time Skip
Three hours later

"So everyone knows the plan?" I asked my friends.

They all nodded.

"You and Cassandra will go in as guests," Renee said, "While the rest of us are going to stay here in case backups is necessary."

"I hacked the security cameras all around the White House to inform you guys of any suspicious activity," Teresa stated while working on her laptop.

"Stella and I will be the getaway drivers if we needed to get out immediately," Sarah grinned, "Now are you done checking the plan for the 101th time?"

I sighed and nodded.

With that Cassandra and I got off the van and headed towards the entrance.

Thanks to Lazlo we could get invitations.
