(hey guys, sorry for not posting in the past 2 days. I had writers block and I couldn't come up with the plot for this chapter and the 2 coming after this one, which I'm posting later today, I tried my best coming up with the stuff that goes down in these 3 chapters. It might sound boring to you but chapter 18 will be interesting( a lot happens in that chapter.) I'm not posting 18 today, I'll post it tomorrow. Anyways back to the story.

Ag's pov:

The car ride to our next destination was really quiet. After hearing the words that came out of Julia's mouth made not want to say anything. I tried to not let get to my head but it was hard. Staring out the window to avoid her  did absolutely nothing. I just want to get this over with already. It was night time when we arrived in Naperville,Illinois where Matthew grew up. He planned on moving out to live in California with his colleagues. The man had a strong love for deep dish pizza and would collect the little tables which were placed in middle of the pie. We pulled up to his address which was a small family home.

I looked at the house noticing the the lights were still on but were soon turned off 10 minutes after

I looked at the house noticing the the lights were still on but were soon turned off 10 minutes after. To play it safe, we waited 30 minutes to make sure he was asleep. 30 minutes go by and we're changed into black jumper suits and snook up to the house. I peered over the window looking for any movement in the house. Nothing.

"Follow me" Emmi whispered.

We tagged along with her to the back door. She pulled out a hair pin and inserted it into the doorknob. After the all fidgeting with it, the door unlocked. She slowly opened the door and sneaked in.

Emmi's pov:

We got to the kitchen and I pulled out a flashlight. I shined it around the area, looking for any pet bowls and found nothing. Thank goodness. No distractions. We searched around the cabinets looking for his stash of little tables, Julia opened the pantry then gestured us over. The entire shelves were filled with them. Each table lined up in groups with its color. Julia took a red one and we headed for the in the living room. Halfway into the stairwell, ag tripped over a step, causing a loud thud. Julia placed her hand on her face shaking her, head and mumbled. I whirled around facing ag.

"seriously?" I whispered.

"i'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

We stopped talking and I heard a noise coming out of a room. Shit.
flinging my arms pointing down the stairs, mouthing "go, go, go" we rushed down and hid in separate areas. Ag hidden behind the couch, Julia in a closet and me in the pantry in the kitchen. The footsteps continued down the stairs, walking around.

"Who's there!" a raspy voice called out.

Welp, we're screwed. He continued to look around and soon came into the kitchen. I tried to contain my breathing as he got closer to where I was hiding. He approached me and just stood there. My heart was racing even faster than it already was and I was sweating like crazy. Damn it ag, why? Just why? Now we're gonna get caught. He ended up leaving and went back upstairs to his room. I let out a sigh of relief and left my hiding spot. We continued back to the stair and stopped at his room door. Julia counted to 3 and slowly opened the it. I poked my head through the door watching the man doze off. The door was now wide open and I walked over to his bed, lifting a pillow off of it. Here goes nothing. I snuggled the pillow onto his face, he woke up and started moving around. Julia and ag rushed over to hold him down. At this point he was struggling and slowly started to give up. Soon after he stopped moving, I put the pillow back to where it was and tucked him in. We walked back downstairs and left through the back door. I got back into the car, looking at ag who was in the back with me while Julia sat in the drivers seat.

"Ag what the hell, we almost got caught."

"I know and I said I was sorry. I got distracted. I won't do that again."

"with what? There was nothing to get distracted by. Pay attention next time."

She went quiet and played around with her fingers. Was she still upset about earlier? I sighed and put my hand on her shoulder.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you like that. Just be careful next time, ok?"

She nodded and took out the photos.

" John Reagan is next."

And we were off.
