Spy School: Ever After

What Do We Do?

Ben's POV

"Ben?"

"Yes Erica?" was my simple response.

"What do we do?"

"About what?"

"Wow... I don't know... just about everything." she said coldly. I'm guessing she's been relieved of her truth serum.

"Well... I-"

"Don't know?"

"Yes..."

She let out a really big sigh and then asked, "Alright. Then what do we do about us?" When she asked that I tried to speak, but my stubborn mouth refused to open. 

"What do you mean by us?"

"Well... I meant like our relationship."

"Oh... That makes more sense." 

Ding

"Erica."

"Yeah?"

"I might be silent for a couple of minutes."

"Okay..." That's when I saw that Catherine had texted me telling me how recon went.

Catherine: Hey Ben!

Me: Hello.

Catherine: I was able to do some recon on my own. 

Me: That's great!

Catherine: I need you and Erica to meet up with me at the StarBucks as soon as possible.

Me: Okay?

"Ben. Who are you texting?" Erica asked.

"Your mother. Although... I don't trust this one bit."

"How come?"  she asked, curious.

"She said to meet up at StarBucks yet, she would remember where we were when she drove away. Cus... we still haven't gone very far."

"So... you think that they have her and are using her phone."

"Yes."

"What do we do about that then?"

"Well... We could risk it seeing as then we would know where they're hiding out. Or we can play it safe and see if she tries to reach out to us in person." I honestly think 2 is the smarter choice, but yet again, I could be wrong.

"How about we go with the second choice." she joked.

"This isn't funny." I snapped.

"I know. It's just... my mom can figure it out on her own. She'll find a way out."

"Yeah... I guess."

"Well, well, well. Look who we have here." Anger started to boil up inside me when I realized who it was. Erica sensed this and got behind me. Joshua Hallal. 

Then she asked, "What do we do about that?" 

Hey guys! Sorry about another short chapter.
