Spy School: Error 404

Chapter 2: Trusted

"I'm gonna introduce you to Zoe and Mike first," I said to Lohan. Lohan smiled, "Thanks for taking a chance on me." I was confused. "Err...What do you mean?" Lohan sighed. "People usually don't trust me because I worked for an evil agency." I tried to make him feel better. "Like who?" Lohan pointed to Erica. "Like her." I looked behind to see Erica glaring at Lohan.

"Erica doesn't really trust most people," I said.

"I guess it doesn't help that I'm a fugitive," Lohan said sadly. Suddenly, Zoe and Mike came running towards me. "Who's the new kid?" Mike asked smiling. Lohan grinned a bit. "I'm Lohan." Mike smiled and shook Lohan's hand. "It's always nice to have another dude in the group." Lohan finally relaxed and started to talk more with Mike and Zoe.

I, however, went back to talk with Erica. "You don't have to be so suspicious of Lohan, you know." Erica sighed. "We don't know him. He could be a mole or an assasin, or...or..." I put my hand into Erica's. "I know he could be dangerous. But if we treat him like a threat, he could become one." I pulled up our hands in front of her eyes. "Besides, I've got your back."

Erica smiled. "Thanks, Ben." Erica glared back at Lohan. "I'm still not so sure about him though..."

"Trust me," I said back. She smiled. "You're weirdly convincing, Ben."

"Thank you," I said teasingly.

Suddenly, Mike and Zoe came running back at us. "Guys! Lohan is a font-natic too!" Mike said excitedly. During the time we were fugitives in Britain and France, Mike and Zoe found out they were both font-natics, which apparently is someone who like typography or something.

Whatever. It definatly won't be important later... Right?

"And Lohan's a writer too!" Zoe said happily. Lohan smiled. "They're not that good..." Lohan said. "Yes, they are that good. He's best at fiction. Really good at fiction," Mike said.

"What font do you usually use?" I asked. "Georgia!" Lohan, Mike, and Zoe said at the same time. They laughed and ran off. "You've gotta meet Chip and Jawa," Zoe said.

I smiled, "I'm glad they're getting along." Erica smiled, "It's nice you guys see the good in everybody." Erica playfully cuffed me in the arm. I smiled. Erica looked at her watch and ran off. "Sorry, Ben, I've got something to do."

I waved at Erica as she ran to her dorm room. I hope that she could trust Lohan. He might seem... suspious, but he's acts nice and like a new friend. I ran off after Zoe, Mike, and Lohan. I stopped suddenly what happened next.

Chip was on the floor unconcious.

Jawa was sedated and laying on Chip.

Mike was being held at gunpoint.

Zoe was tied up to a tree.

And Lohan...Lohan....

An assasin was holding a knife to Lohan's neck.
