"We have driven them to suicide, boss. Now what do we do?" Becca Kid says into the phone, glancing around at the people who are sitting in the trees and on the ground.

"Kill every single spy there is," his voice says. His voice always chills Becca; it was flat and metallic, like a robot. "Have no mercy."

"We must go to the Underworld, where Edward is. We will bring him back to life, along with Drew, and then we will time travel before Alexandra Frell 'died'."

"Yes, sir."

"Good girl. Now, tell your teammates."

The boss hangs up the phone and Becca climbs down from the tree effortlessly, fluidly. She waits for everyone to get in a half-circle in front of her before she starts talking.

"We need to go to Hell, boys. The boss wants us to bring Lance and Drew back and time travel."

"But it smells like dead bodies," Logan Hail complains.

Becca snaps, "Come on, Logan! Don't be such a wuss, jeez! It's only Hell!"

"Yeah- um- Wuss!" Edward Jacks says.

Becca's point of view*

He always does that- stands up for me. Why can't he understand that I can handle this myself? How did he even make the team anyways!

The boys laugh at him.

This is why I like Devon. He's the total opposite of Edward!

He's tough, strong, and kinda cute, unlike Edward.

And he's actually good at insults!
