Betrayal

Followed

Ian pov

As soon as I see the data from pony's computer being swiped, I look up. This is definitely not what I wanted. I see a blonde head furiously tapping away at a laptop, and I stand up. I slip over to her, making sure to let my hip brush Amy's shoulder as I walk over to the girl. I glance back, stopping, and Amy is looking at me, an unvoiced question in her eyes, What is it? 

Follow me, I reply mentally, and she follows my line of sight. Once she notices the girl, her eyes widen after landing on Pony's laptop, which is in my hand. 

Amy glances over to Atticus, then looks back at me and mentally says, Give me the laptop.

No.

Please. If this is who I think it is-

April May?

-Then we need to give this to someone close to us.

Use your ring.

 Amy cocks her head to the side, somewhat like a dog, What do you think I'm doing? 

I smirk, Sorry.

No you're not.

I know. 

You are so insufferable sometimes.

I let my eyes twinkle. You know you love me! 

Ian Alexander Cornelius Kabra, give me the damned laptop.

No.

Please? We need to follow this lead! Here come the- and there they are. The puppy dog eyes. She knows I can't say no to her stupid puppy eyes.  

Fine, I say, and I give her the laptop, which she dutifully gives to Atticus, then gets up, shrugging her shoulders. I read her lips: Restroom. 

Dan, Atticus, Jonah, and Hamilton all nod understandingly, but Jake notices me standing and narrows his eyes, then he whispers something to Dan, whose eyes widen and he looks at me, then glances to the retreating form of his sister. I realized Amy's mistake: the bathroom was the other way.
