Salty tears burn my eyes as I sink to the floor, my whole world has crashed down on my shoulders and I don't know if I can take it. With my palms sweaty and heart racing, I look up into his eyes and choke out "How are you out of french fries?!"

"Do you guys understand that you can't have food fights in a jet?" One of the workers asks calmly, I look over at Charlie with a smirk. James was standing behind the worker, clenched jaw and arms crossed. He was pissed, beyond angry.
"No I don't understand." I say sarcastically, rolling my eyes.
James clenches his fist even harder, instead of blowing up, he simply walks away.
"Sir, we've reached LA. Everyone sit down while we land." Some guy says through the speakers, instantly I get up and walk to the bathroom. I at least need to get these Cheese balls out of my hair. I brush through my brown strands with my fingers, trying to get as much cheese out as possible.
Once I was done I walk back out only to notice we already landed, I find Charlie and walk out of the jet with him. Some workers were grabbing all of the suitcases out of the back latch as James talked to the head tracker. I didn't know what to do so I played with my fingers nervously.
What if Misty forgets me? What if she's hurt? Well if she's kidnapped then obviously she's hurt, I'm just anxious. I haven't seen her in years, and I was too blind to see that she didn't just 'move'. WHat happened to her parents? Where is she? I had so many questions just running freely in my mind and I was too scared and nervous to find the answer.
I look over and James with a sigh, have I been too hard on him? I feel like I crossed his line, I tested his limits and ruined them. He's so frustrated and nervous with finding his sister and I'm just making all of this worse. I need to take it easy, I already sneaked in his private jet and had two food fights.
Once James was finished talking, I took my chance and walked up to him.
"Hey." I said quietly, James looks down at me, I could see his eyes harden with anger with just made me drown more in guilt.
"James, I'm sorry. I was being stupid and I didn't mean to make you upset. I was just happy because I might get to see my best friend again. I was acting like a child and I'm sorry." I admit, instantly James eyes soften before he speaks "It's okay Grace."
"I didn't mean to-"
"I know, it's okay." James nods, suddenly his phone begins to ring, interrupting our conversation.
"Hey Zane." He says, putting the call on speaker.
"What the hell man, where are you? Aphrodite and Sadie told Bates and I that Grace and the private jet was missing." Zane exclaims in anger and worry.
"We found Misty's location, we just reached LA. I have Grace and the jet with me. Bye." James says, ending the call. Instantly I erupt into fits of laughter, smooth James, smooth.
"Sir here's the address." The head tracker says, handing a note card to James, he grabs it immediately and mumbles "444 S Flower St, Los Angeles, CA 90071."
"Alright let's get movin!" James yells.
"Wait, I wanna help!" I exclaim stubbornly, I'm helping no matter what.
"Uh, okay. Jerry, I need you to find a place to keep the jet. Darren, gather all the weapons and put it in a duffel bag. And Grace, you can call a car rental place and rent a car for us. Here's my credit card and my pin." James says, shoving them in my hands, instantly my eyes widen in surprise, he trusts me with his credit card?! I was shocked but soon recovered.
"Charlie! Look up near car rental places on your phone!" I instruct, I liked feeling 'in charge'. Okay well I'm not in charge, but I can act all macho now. With a smirk, I push the credit card in my butt pocket.
"I'm on it." Charlie sighs, getting out his phone and opening Safari.
"Grace, I found one right across the street. Enterprise car rental." Charlie tells me, I grab his phone and quickly call the place.
"Hello I need a car as soon as possible." I mutter, trying to get to the point.
After the call, we all agreed to walk down the street to where the building is.
"I placed an order on a mustard yellow Lamborghini." I smile, immediately Charlie gasps and jumps up and down.
"How'd you get to rent that?!?!" Charlie smile widely.
"It was in the Exotic Cars section, it costs a lot to rent it. But James has enough money, he has over a million bucks on his card." I scoff, Charlies eyes widen to the size of saucers. I nod with my lips pursed in understanding. It is shocking, like, over a million bucks? What is he, made of money?
I make my way over to James and start to explain how we need to walk down the street to get the car, everyone agreed and soon we were walking down the streets of LA.
"Thanks." James says, looking down at me as we near the building.
"For what?" I ask, confused.
"For getting a rental car, which one did you get?" James asks, yet I felt like there was a deeper meaning in his thanks...
"Lamborghini." I smile widely, James nods, impressed.
Soon we reached the Enterprise building, we all walked in and soon we got our rental car. Everyone was impressed with the Lamborghini, I felt accomplished. The car was pretty badass, it looked brand new.
With our confidence sky high and head raised, we made our way towards Misty.
