"I am so happy that you are going to live with us." Lizzy said when I completely settled in my new room.

"it's not like Ash gave me any choice," I muttered to myself. Then louder "thank you Lizzy. Really. Your house is awesome."

I smiled at her, showing my nice side for the first time. She looked satisfied that I was finally warming up to her.

She sat on my bed and said "you don't know how hard it is to be the only girl living with two boys. At least I'm not alone. We are gonna get real close, I can feel it." Then she stood up. "get ready. We will get going in 15 minutes."

And with that she left my room.

I sighed and went to my closet. I just put on a shirt with an owl that was reading a book and my skinny jeans. This is my first mission as a member of Peril.

I come down the stairs and see that all the three of them were waiting for me. (I got lost, okay? Calling this a house was disrespectful. It was a freaking castle.)

"here. Put this in your ear." Ash came forward and gave me a small com. I liked it. It was cute.

We went to the FBI base to see why they needed us. When we got there a pretty girl came up and said hi to Ash and glared at me before going.

Oookay.

We enter a big office and see a man behind a big desk. It was obvious that he was the boss. He stands and comes forward when he sees us. He and Ash do all the manly handshake but then Ash points at me and says "that's her."

He comes to me and shakes my hand. "I am Elias Black. But you may call me sir. I am the head of this unit." He turns to get a good look at us all.

"let's talk business. There is a company that might be in league with our enemies. There is a chance of them selling weapons. I need you to go to their data bank and get all the files that there is for me. But be careful. Their security levels are very high."

We were on our way 5 minutes later. I was going to be their eyes and ears, telling them where to go, when to hide and open the doors by hacking. (I learned it to hack my crush's profile. It was long ago.) I started guiding them when they went in

- now turn right. I don't get it. Getting in here is being way too easy.

-no. you are probably our lucky charm, Julz.

-keep the celebrating for when we get back alive. It's way too soon to judge.

- buzz kill. Lizzy and I muttered at the same time and laughed.

- data is uploading. Jason added helpfully.

"done." Ash said and took out the drive.

-Juliet? I think we might have a problem.

-what sort of problem?

-a yellowish green gas is coming through the air conditioners.

Shit. They're security is powerful not because no one could get in. but because no one could get out.

-the gas is not poisonous. You are just going to hallucinate. And I'm gonna help you open the door from inside, okay?

No answer.

-Ash? Lizzy? Jason? Anyone copy?

Then Lizzy's voice came. She was screaming. For mercy.

-no. please. Not him. Leave him alone. I'll do anything. Just let him be.

"don't touch her you bastards. Let her go." Jase roared.

"please. Come back. Don't leave me. Don't go." That was Ash. He sounded broken. Alone.

"I won't leave you, Ash." I whispered.

-yes. You will. You have to mom. Just like dad did. Cause I'm broken.

He sounded in so much pain that I was ready to do almost anything to help him.

"we are all broken, Ash. That's how the light get's in." I said, putting all my emotion to my words.

Silence, then:

-what do I have to do to open the door Juliet?

he, too, wanted what he shouldn't. he, too, felt how the heart chooses its own home and refuses reason.

but he had felt the same sickness.
