JULIETTE'S POV:
My rage has hit a new time level. I haven't felt this kind of buzzing kind of fumigation since the war against Anderson.
Because there is one this I haven't told Aaron and Kenji. Something that I wish to tell no one, but now, now it seams like I must. I don't have a choice.

Yesterday was when my parents infiltrated the sector. Me, Aaron, Kenji, Adam, Winston, Brendon, Alia, Lily and Ian are all sat in a conference room.

"My parent," I sigh "they where at the RARE's base. They are working with them." All the faces in the room turn into a blissfully shocked look. "They didn't want to speak to me yesterday to 'see how I'm doing', they wanted to tell me, I assume, that if I said anything about their whereabouts they'd kill everyone in the sector and their families to. Like they were threatening to."
"Are you sure about this?" Ian asked.
"Of course I'm sure. I saw them there, they spoke to me, tortured me." My voice shows my inner anger.
"I think what Ian means is that you need to be positive that it was them." Alia spoke.
"I know it was them. I think I can recognise my own parents from two random strangers." I can feel the tug of my emotions. Sebastian is playing a game with my feelings. Toying with me. Distracting me.

This bitch!

Before I know it a familiar voice comes back. A voice I've wished I'd never hear again.

"Juliette, you can't tell them. You know you can't. You'll be putting yourself at risk if you tell them."

As if this week couldn't get any worse, now Suara is back.

"What do you want from me?" I internally ask her. "What is it that you feel is so important that you have to mess with me like this?"

"No. You don't understand, Lettie."

How did she know that name? That's a nickname that only my family called me. That's impossible, my parents wouldn't have told this random girl, why would they, it's not of importance.

"How..?" I ask her. "How on earth could you know that?"

"Please listen to me. I'm trying to help you" she whispers. "You must trust me in this."

"How can I trust you? I don't know who you are."

"You do. You know me and I know you." With that I feel her presence leave. She's gone.

"Hey, J. You good?" Kenji taps my shoulder.
"Oh yeah. I'm okay." I clear my throat. Regain myself. "Sorry, I am alright, just thinking."
They all look at me, somewhat questionably.
"So, like I said. They work with Sebastian. That's everything I know." I lied. It isn't. I know a lot more. I feel like listening to Suara is a must in this situation, because she's right, the risk is too high.

Flashback

I'm still chained to this chair, blooded and bruised, my mother and father standing in front of me. They are telling me things that rattle my bones.
"It funny." Mother laughs. "You and your little friends had no idea that we have people in your army who work for us, tell us what you're all doing. They tell us when there's a change in your little plan to take over the world and they tell us what you are for dinner. You see, you are never alone in this world, you're always being watched. We are always watching you. Stalking your every move."
Father speaks. "You think your friends are all on your side but you are wrong. One of your little close friends has been working with us since day one."
End of flashback

I clear my throat. "Well we all must be getting back to work."
Aaron stands up and walks over to me, cupping my face in his hands. He looks worried, extremely worried. "What's wrong, love?"
"Nothing." I let out a fake, awkward laugh. "I'm fine, nothing is wrong."

Okay maybe I'm making this too obvious.

"Please, sweetheart, please tell me what's on your mind." He softly spoke.
Anger holds me in a tight grip. This is horrible, I know I'm not angry, yet I am. I'm not angry. I don't feel angry but I feel a need to do things people do whenever they are angry, like shout, scream or throw things. "I..." I grit my teeth. "I'm fine."
"Are you angry?" Kenji asks, his voice a slightly different note than Aaron's. Kenji is slightly worried but mostly he is confused. Aaron is the opposite, very worried and slightly confused.
"No. Well, I'm not angry but-" I cut myself off remembering my fathers words;

"You think your friends are all on your side but you are wrong. One of your little close friends has been working with us since day one."

"I am just feeling slightly overwhelmed by everything that's happened." I tell them, a little white lie can't hurt. Right?
"O-okay." Kenji is baffled.
I smile, I have no idea how fake it looks, no idea if they can all see that it's put on. "So, in conclusion, we have a fight on our hands. Be ready."

I step out without another word. I can't say what I want to say, what I need to say, because I know that one of them isn't on our side at all. One is a spy, a cunning, evil traitor. I have been fooled and I will not fall into their traps again. I will not let this individual know what I plan on, what I am up to. They won't win this time. I will not let them.

(A/N): (So I want to explain that the 'spy' is someone from Omega Point who can to Sector 45, like everyone else. The two people I will tell you it is not are Aaron and Kenji. They are both the people who are going to help Juliette. Those two are the only ones I'm going to confirm are not the spy.)

(I'm so sorry it took me so long to get this update out, I've been so busy. I'm trying to post as often as I can. Thank you for your patience.)
