Cathy's POV

With trembling hands, I wanted to type "Who are you?" but I was interrupted when someone knocks on my door. Jim's head peeped and Rufus came in.

"Hey buddy." I brushed Rufus' head and laughed.

"Chap said we're going to leave for lunch." Jim told me. I nodded and stood up.

"Come on, Rufus. Let's go get lunch." We headed outside then Jim closed my door. We walked down the stairs and saw the others waiting.

"Ok gang. Let's go to the nearby diner for lunch." Chapman said then we headed to the garage.

Since we don't want to make anything suspicious, we drove in 2 different cars. Daniel gave me the directions and said to go 5 minutes after they left.

Together with Allison and Lexie in the car, I drove to the diner. We saw the guys sitting on the corner, waiting for their food already. We sat a couple of seats away from them and ordered our meals.

I could sometimes hear the guys talk about something. I looked up and saw Chapman patting Daniel's shoulder while laughing. Daniel gave him a I'm eating, don't disturb me  look. I silently chuckle at them.

The waiter arrived and we gave him our orders. He came back after a while with our lunch. 

After 50 minutes, we left the diner and went back to the hideout. We went inside the house and heard Jim's voice through the intercom. He told us to go to the meeting room for an announcement. Daniel and Chap were fixing the laptop and projector. Jim came in after a while. We gathered around the table and sat on the chairs as we wait.

"As promised, I said when we got to LA I shall announce the victim's name. So now we are all here and I'm going to let everyone know, except for Danny because he already knows it."

The squad cheered at the excitement to know the victim.

"But..." seriously Daniel, Chapman's sentence is still not done. "We'll play 4 pics, 1 artist!"

Now this why I love Squad K, even in serious times, someone or something jokes off. Here are the pictures:

"Uh... we're kidnapping Sebastian Stan again?" Allison asks, pointing at the picture.

[peace to all marvel fans there✌️]

Daniel looks at the picture on the white board. "Oh crap, that's wrong." He disconnected the laptop for a while then plugs it again. This time a new picture was shown on the board.

A hotdog? I mentally laughed at what came to my thought

A hotdog? I mentally laughed at what came to my thought. I'm pretty sure the squad also has the same thought, judging by their faces.

The note means music industry. Also from Canada. And plays guitar.

... *a moment of silence* ...

No. What the heck?! NO! There's no way this is real! My mind is just playing with me. If it's true then fine, I will not say my answer. Darn it. Why does this have to happen? Because he has billions of fans around the world and everybody likes him except of me? Ugh...

"Does anyone know who is it?" Daniel asks. I avoided eye contact and acted like I was still thinking. His eyes stopped at me but passed to Jim who was beside me. "Jim, any guesses?" 

"I'll guess it's Justin Bieber. I mean it's a guy that is what the hotdog says and when I saw the Canadian flag and the note, he came to my mind." Jim explains.

"Nope, wrong one." Daniel shakes his head then looks at me. "CJ?"

Fuck. Crap. Help me. Could someone just cut in and answer? 

Ok Cathy. There is no going back, he called you already. 

I groaned and leaned back on my chair. "Fine, I know who it is." I said with a shaky breath. 

"And..." Chapman said. 

I never thought I'm going to be forced to say his name. I never even thought I would say his name again.

I exhaled before saying the answer. "The next victim is S-Shawn Men-Mendes."
