**Amanda's POV**

"Do you guys want to come to the ice cream shop with us?" Bee asks, that does sound like a good idea, "we're meeting Andrew and Elizabeth there." On second thought....

"No thanks, I'd rather not be around that evil phone ruiner." Hannah says grudgingly.

"What she means is, Elizabeth might be better off without us there, also, we will be better without going there." I explained.

"Yeah, last time she told us she had to 'get us out of her way' or something like that." Hannah said using her fingers to quote what Elizabeth said.

"Suit yourselves, everyone else is going." Bree said. Once everyone left, Hannah and I chatted about Maximum ride, then about the evil Elizabeth, then later played a board game (we were desperate for something to do). All of that took up three hours or so. They should be back soon.

"Hey, Amanda, do you think there is any chance that Elizabeth decided to capture Chase, Bree, Skylar, Kaz and Oliver today?" Hannah asked with fake casualty.

"There is a slight chance... You know, we should just go track Bree or Chase's GPS." I say. Hannah and I both go through the hydro lift and Hannah does the whole tap thingy, she knew because Chase showed her how. She nervously laughed and played with her ponytail.

"What?" I ask.

"They are definitely not at the ice cream shop." Hannah clapped her hands together.

"Where are they?" I asked her.

"Looks like they are in Mexico City." Hannah replied zooming in to the map on the screen. Great! Mexico?!

"We have to tell Mr. Davenport." I say and we run to the hyper lift.

"Mr. Davenport! Bree, Chase, Skylar, Oliver and Kaz are in Mexico because they were captured by a villain." Hannah explained quickly.

"What? How?" He asks shocked.

"No time to explain! Let's just go! Do you have a jet or something super fancy?" I say.

"Let's go to my jet." He responds.

When we are in the jet, Mr. Davenport lectures us. "This is your first mission. I have a friend in Mexico City that you are going to stay with while you search every building for the team,this might take a while, so I needed to find a place for you two to stay." Mr. Davenport says although we are only in Texas. I don't know why he thinks it will take so long, but I'll go with it. How did they manage to get captured by one, maybe two, people?

"Got it." I say. Butterflies are in my stomach, what if we mess this up? What if we don't save them?

Don't worry, we will find them as soon as possible. Do you really think we'd ever stop looking? We will save them. Hannah explained using her telepathy. I wonder how often she reads my mind with that power. Pretty often, it comes in handy. Seriously? She does that often?!

"Here we are. You two need to stick together to find the others." Mr. Davenport explained while the jet lowered to earth. "Push this button in case of an emergency- a real emergency." He showed us an object with a simple red button on it. He handed it to me, Hannah was putting up her hair.

"I can't believe this is supposed to take days! Why aren't you coming with us?" Hannah asks Mr. Davenport.

"I am, Im just staying somewhere else because I will not risk hurting this." He says gesturing to his face. Wow. Over his own kids... "Also, I don't have super powers, so I would be defenseless."

Hannah and I climbed down the ladder to the dry Mexican dirt. The sun was beating against our skin and the sun blurring my vision. There was a little house in front of us and a path heading away from it. This is gonna be so hard, oh man!

"Let's go look around for them. Follow me." Hannah says walking down the path that left the house. It took Five minutes to enter town, probably half a mile away, we speed walked. The town wasn't all that great. When the teachers in school explained how poor Mexico was compared to us, they really were right. The shop's Windows had been broken, people selling stuff on the streets, it is pretty crowded too.

"Let's check every building we can." Hannah says seriously. Is she insane? She wants to go check every house in this town? I didn't think this was going to happen in my day!

"What?" I ask although I clearly heard her.

"We are checking every house." Hannah repeats. I groan at the response she gave, but I still walked with her into building one.

"This is gonna take forever. you take these first five buildings, I take the next five." I explained. She nodded and we got to work.

****

Five hours later, the sky is getting dark, and to make that worse we haven't found them yet. Hannah and I met up at the pan store-bread store.

"We have to go to that house that Mr. Davenport said we have to stay at for tonight. We will look more tomorrow." Hannah decided. We both walked the half mile back to the house.

The house was definitely one of the better ones around here; hence the full Windows and lack of holes all over. A man was walking inside impassively, maybe he was nervous. He didn't look Mexican with his very tall form and olive skin he sort of looked like a famous athlete, but I could hear him speaking it on the phone. I knocked on the door waiting for the man to open it. Footsteps sound from inside, he opened the door for us.

"Chao." He ended his phone call and shoved his phone inside his pocket. A smiled at our presence. "I'm assuming your the two super girls Mr. Davenport wanted me to watch over, am I right?"

"Uh, yes." Hannah smiled at him and they shook hands, after that he shook my hand. It felt like he was yanking it off.

"Do you play sports?" I ask him. He and Hannah both give me questioning glances.

"Anyways, our mission is to find the bionic siblings Bree and Chase, also we have to find our other friends Kaz Oliver and Skylar." Hannah explains.

"I've heard of this, that's an incredible mission. You are going to need some rest, but before that, I will give you a tour of where your staying." He says stepping aside to let us in the house.

"This is the dining room and kitchen." He shows us a medium sized room with the needed kitchen supplies on the counter. There was also a table with four chairs and a fruit bowl sat on top of it. "The living room." He says and shows us a space with unique wooden chairs around it. "These are the bedrooms. Mine and the one you will share." He gestures towards the room with two twin sized beds, the room was clean and small. It will work.

"Thank you for showing us around." I say when we walk in the room. I was holding a bag for me, Mr. Davenport told us to pack for this mission, so We did. I hope this doesn't take too long!

"My pleasure. Have a good rest. I don't mind you getting up really early; just try not to come in the middle of the night. Last time a guest stayed here and did that that really regretted doing it. I thought they were criminals." He says. The guy really talks a lot...

Hannah and I got ready for bed and later down. I wasn't able to sleep, and by the looks of it, Hannah wasn't either Maybe tomorrow we will find them.
