NASH'S POV

"XBOX one." Gilinsky said.

"PlayStation 4 all the way." Jacob argued.

"Look..." Cam budged in. "First there was the XBOX, then you'd expect them to release 'XBOX two' right? But nope, they went for XBOX 360. And now, from 360, they decide to name it 'XBOX One'. Doesn't make any sense." He coughed. "On the other hand, Sony had the common sense to name their product in chronological order, starting from the original PlayStation, working it's way up to PlayStation 2, then 3, and now they have 4. I'm just saying, Sony knows what they're doing." 

"Although." Johnson cleared his throat. "The xbox one has an 8-core x86 processor which lets you switch between games and apps smoothly." 

"And, it comes with the kinekt." Gilinsky added. 

We were in a restaurant, just finished grabbing a little snack before heading for more places to see, they kept bickering about the two gaming consoles, a great way to spend the morning of our second day in LA. These boys just suddenly sound a whole lot smarter when it comes to games. Taylor also joined the "arena" and rooted for the PS4, Hayes and Aaron with the xbox. Miley, Mahogany, Shawn and I were the only ones not participating in this Battle Royale. I didn't mind, both of the consoles are great on their own. Shawn and Miley were music people and Mahogany just wasn't interested.

"How 'bout you, Nash?" Gilinsky asked, perking his head to the side to look at me. "Xbox or PS4?"

"I really don't know." I chuckled. "I'm on both sides."

"Mahogany?" Jacob asked. 

"Hmmmm?" She answered, looking up from her phone. 

"Xbox or PS4?"

"I like the Wii." She smiled, the boys groaned and rolled their eyes at the answer they didn't need. And just before Taylor could ask Miley's opinion, she raised a finger.

"Listening to music." She said, putting earphones on. I chuckled at her uninterested disposition. 

I return to my thoughts, Shawn still didn't talk much but he'd answer when he was asked something. He was sitting beside me, to my right.

Shawn and I are okay now, he'd smile, chuckle and laugh but still wasn't the Shawn I used to know. 

After about an hour of debating, everyone shook hands as if they just finished a "good game", stood up and started walking towards our next destination.

A while later, after finishing half of our checklist of places to visit, we decided to visit a Police Station before heading back to the hotel. Everyone waited outside while Cam and I went inside, since were too tired to move their butt off of their seats in the bus.

I sat on one of the chairs as Cam was talking to the woman behind the counter. 

"Nash?" Cam called out, I turned to look at him, he nodded to the counter, telling me to come closer, so  I did. 

"Do you have anyone in mind that you think would send these threat messages?" The lady asked.

"Uhm..." I answered.

"We don't really have anyone in mind yet." Cam answered. "We would just like to know where this text is coming from." 

"Can you give me the number and our men will notify you when they have tracked the number." She said, Cam nodded and gave it to her.

Cam and I sat on the seats near the counter, waiting for what they came up with. He held my hand tightly in his, intertwining my fingers with his. He'd give me a reassuring grip every now and then. 

"Cameron Dallas and Nash Grier?" A man asked, walking towards us. We both stood up.

"The number has been tracked, and it's from Dallas, Texas."

I furrowed my eyebrows and narrowed my eyes, confused, REALLY confused. 

"Uh...Okay..." Cam stuttered. "Thank you." 

The man smiled as we turned around, heading for the exit.

Dallas? Texas? WHAT? So...it's not Andrew, he said he's in LA. 

Maybe he's lying. 

"Wait!" I yelled, turning around to face the man. 

"Can you track this number too?" I asked, handing him Andrew's number. He nodded and went back in the room filled with computers and maps. After a while, he came back.

"It's here, in LA." 

I thanked him and joined Cam, who was waiting by the door. 

We got back to the hotel, and then to our room. 

"Texas..." I said, falling landing on the bed. 

"It doesn't make any sense." Cam said, stripping his shirt. "None of our suspects are in Texas." 

"We know for a fact Shawn is here with us." I replied. "They tracked Andrew's number and he's here, in LA."

"We should talk to him."

"What?"

"He might know someone." 

"What?"

"Nash." He scolded. "He might have 'hired' someone to threat us. We're meeting up with him." 

"When?"

"Tomorrow morning, before we leave with the group."

"Ugh." I groaned. "It's already late, I don't think I can get up any time before ten in the morning tomorrow."

"You want to solve this or what?" 

I groaned once more. "Fine." Before stripping then crawled to my side of the bed. Cam followed and I snuggled to his chest. 

"Goodnight Nash."

"Goodnight Cam."
