"Max, hurry up!" I yelled at him, sharply turning a corner.

I got to James' room. 

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!*

"Come in-"

"James! We think we have found out what's gunna happen!" I shouted as I entered. "Sorry."

James nodded slowly.

"What is it?" he asked as Max came in.

"Evan is the spy." I said.

"How? Evan's been here for ages. I mean, before you two were born." James pointed out.

"I know but shapsifters. 'Evan' has been acting weird." I told my older brother.

"And when I asked him for a tube of Chemical XY, he didn't know what it was." Max joined in. "And the real Evan has handed Chemical XY out tons of times!"

"Hmm.." James thought out loud.

"We also found this." I handed James the piece of paper we had found. When we found it, it was burnt and the writing washed away but we restored it using a restoring spell. It was hard, but we managed." I explained.

The piece of paper had dates, information and names on it.

"Good work you two." James congratulated us on finding what we needed. "You may go now. I need to talk to the leader."

We walked out.

"This is good." Max kept saying that over and over again.

"Stop Max!" I yelled. "Sorry but you don't need to repeat yourself. This raid is stressful." 

"I know but once all of H.Q. are aware- Ow!" Max bumped into me. "Why'd you stop?" 

"That wasn't..." I grabbed Max's hand and ran to the nearest exit.

"Hey! What's up?!" Max kept stumbling.

"I don't think that was James. Or anyone we met is who the say they are." I knew Max was Max as he I'd been with him all the time and he smelt the same. {NOT IN A CREEPY WAY! THE IDEA IS FROM TOKYO GHOUL AND FAIRY TAIL. GHOULS HAVE ENHANCED SENSES AND SO DO SLAYERS!}

We got out safe enough but when we turned a corner, there was a group of people neither I nor Max recognized. 

"Get out of our way." I growled.

The guy who seemed to be the leader of the group signaled to the others.

What's happening? Max asked telepathically.

I dunno. Keep your guard up, no matter what. I answered, keeping my eye on the gang who were closing in on us.

I sensed an attack and did a high jump. Unfortunately for Max, he didn't see it coming. He was hit to the ground.

"MAX!" I yelled, landing on my feet.

The group stepped back in unison.

Creepy...

"Hehehe..." the leader's laugh sent shivers up my spine. I mean, I could see his breathe! And it was at least twenty degrees outside!

I saw an attack aimed for Max. I used super speed and blocked the attack in time. 

You ok Max? I asked

Not... Really.. What are these people? 

No idea. All I know is that they are bad news.
