Maeve POV

I leave the room and lock myself in a rather small bathroom. Ear buds are soon placed in my ears as I don't want the boys to hear the conversation. You never know if someone is hiding behind the door which I figure is what they are doing right now. I hear Jax bark and that makes me chuckle as I hear the boys run away. Smart dog.

"Okay. So you know the the girlfriends of the boys broke up with them for safety reasons correct? Also something about them never wanting to die with someone they don't love, but that's not the point. We have found girls that are willing to date the boys, who also have self defense training." He pauses to hear my response.

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Rhenylyn Rose age 19 and Ashlynn Meyers age 21. Paired with Luke and Calum respectively. Both great girls, I suppose you'll hate them. We are still looking for Michael and Ashton but here's where you come in."

Fuck. "Would it be possible for you to become closer to one of the boys?"

It's around 2300 hours (eleven o'clock pm) and the boys do not want to get to bed. I swear they are like 5 year olds. They never do anything when they are told.

"Okay listen boys. I'm going to check the cameras and set the alarm. If you are not in your own room by the time I am done, we are going to have a serious problem. Don't test me. You understand?" I say seriously.

They nod slightly whimpering because I had scared them. The bathroom is now filled with the boy band as they all try and brush their teeth at the same time. This makes me chuckle a bit.

I pull out my laptop and open the correct software to check the cameras. They all seem good; not blocked by anything that they are hiding behind. My eyes scan the cameras in each of the boy's rooms. Calum and Luke seem to be asleep as they are not moving except for their chests rising and falling as they breathe. Michael is on his phone in the dark probably checking his Twitter account or something. I'll accept it because he is being quiet. Ashton is surely not asleep as he is tossing and turning in his bed. He looks very on edge and he opens his eyes, retrieving a pillow that fell off the queen sized bed. I smile to myself knowing that I had actually survived a day with these idiots.

The software opens up for the alarm system automatically. I had set it up earlier on all the doors and windows leading to the outside. If any open, the alarm will sound calling local police to the area and notifying the FBI that I work with. It's a complex system.

After the alarm is set, I take the time to go find the cameras to make sure that they are hidden from sight. I can still find them, but no one else will ever know that they are there.

My watch buzzes as I am fixing a camera and I see the footage from Ashton's room on the small device. He is up and is about to touch the window that is in his room. I drop what I'm doing and rush to his room saying,

"Don't touch the window." As I rush in.

"I have to make sure it's locked before I can actually fall asleep. Please just let me open and close it then lock it." He explains his actions.

I sigh. "Ashton, I've set the alarm so that if you open a window, the FBI will be contacted and this building will be surrounded by S.W.A.T. team members. Do you really want that to happen? Look, you're safe here okay? You have me to protect you now." I say calmly.

"It's just, ever since I got shot, I have to make sure that I will be safe."

My mouth says these next words before my brain had a chance to think. "I'll stay in here with you until morning if you want. I'll be monitoring the footage the entire time so that you are safe. Deal?"

He thinks for a second. "Deal."

The shirtless boy returns to his bed muttering a thank you as he climbs in. He says good night and I return the favor. I wait until he is fully asleep before I dare get up to retrieve my laptop and a cup of tea. Caffeinated tea will keep my awake longer unlike coffee. I pass by Michael's room and slowly open the door because the red haired boy is still awake.

"Michael, go to bed."

He mumbles something, but puts his phone down and turns the other way.

I return to Ashton's room to set up my equipment for the night.

Hello!! Sorry for not updating and I have a million reasons, but the biggest is that I just got a puppy!! He is so cute and his name is Fin. So for the past two weeks I had to take care of him because my family was busy. I'm sorry for not updating sooner.
