It's her foster mom, she's worried...? Why? Chrisly's home safe, all of the other foster kids are at school, Nathan and I are fine. What's she so stressed about?

"Mama it's ok, calm down. What's going on? Wh-what??!! The FBI came up to you at work? Why? Wait they found out?? What the hell... Ok Mama love you bye" Chrisly got off the phone looking paler than a ghost.

"Chrisly, what's going on" I ask.

"Imayormaynothaveacciedentallyseenstufffromfbiscomputersandsawsomestuffthattheydidntwantreleased" Chrisly mumbled. (I may or may not have accidentally seen stuff from FBI's computers and saw some stuff that they didn't want released)

"Chrisly!! That's awesom-" I jab Nathan in the side before he can finish "I mean, why would you do that?!"

"I didn't know what I was getting into! Literally I was on the dark web just fucking around and then boom! I was on some deep shit! I didn't want to be there!" She said defensively.

"Alright, so now we have the full story of how you got there, what'd you see?" I asked, obviously concerned for her safety.

"Uhm well... They were planning on mass chaos, kinda like the Hunger Games just less structured I guess"

"Huh... I mean how would they get mass chaos anyways?" Nathan asks, trying to get more information.

"By announcing everywhere that there were no more laws, making sure everyone saw and everyone knew." Chrisly looked at the floor grimly.

Nathan and I exchange looks. What would they accomplish from that? Probably nothing except mass control...wait...that's it! Hah I'm a genius!

"I mean probably not the best way to gain control bu-" I'm cut off mid-sentence when we here the door from upstairs burst open.

We all look up, terrified. Chrisly goes up to greet the unwelcomed strangers while Nathan and I wait down in the basement. After about 5 minutes she comes back down and asks us to come up stairs with her. Once we get up stairs, we're greeted by some... business-y looking men. Y'know, suits, nice hair, dress shoes and ear pieces. We stand there for a very short time when the youngest looking one speaks up.

"I hope you know that what you saw isn't going through, we decided to stop it. It was to unstable and what we were trying to achieve wouldn't work." He says, unhumanly calm.

"Then why are you here" Chrisly replies, also calmer then she should be.

"Ah yes" he starts "You three are some of the brightest, most intelligent, and most resourceful kids of this generation and we would like to recruit you" he ends that sentence with a smile.

We all stare in disbelief. What does he mean by recruit?

"Wait what?" Nathan asks.

"I will repeat myself! We would like to have you all on our team! Chrisly because of her genius hacking, Nathan because of his acting, and Ramona," I jump when he says my name "you are the most athletic one out of all you" I hate to admit it but he made me blush.

"Th-thank you but how can we just leave school behind, a-and our families an-" he cuts me off.

"If you agree we will notify your parents and school of the change, your parents will get the full story while your school will get a cover story" he looks at us, excepting a decision.

We look at each other, just three 7th graders trying to make a huge decision. I've made up my mind, I'm going.

"I'm in." I state with a new found determination.

"Ah lovely! What about you two?" The man asks.

Nathan and Chrisly look between each other and then nod as if they've made a decision. "We're in!" Chrisly says.

"Perfect! Don't worry about packing! We've got everything to fit your *ahem* special needs" I scrunched my nose, by 'special needs' he means me being a fairy, Nathan an elf, and Chrisly a witch, tsk what a jerk.

"Alright. Come on you guys..guess we're leaving Knoxville" I say turning back to my friends who I've known for years, Nathan 7 years and Chrisly 3.

The two other men who were standing behind the one that we were talking to start to walk to the door. They open it for us. We walk out. For the last time. Ever.

We enter the nice car. I don't know much about cars so I don't know the model but I know it was expensive, very expensive.

We all get in and start driving, after 10  minutes, we leave Knoxville, forever.
