Spy School: Ever After

Backup

Ben's POV

"Ben!"

"Yeah Erica!?"

"How about we go save my mom!?"

"WHAT! Are you crazy!?"

"Maybe."

"Alright. Lets do it." I pouted. "This is way too much for just the 2 of us. Even if we got your mom it wouldn't be enough." 

"Then lets call for backup."

"Does it even matter though? We're 119.7 miles away from them." I said already about to give up. 

"Just do it!" she snapped.

"Ok! Ok!" I dialed Zoe's number.

"Hey Ben!" Zoe exclaimed joyfully.

"Hey. Do you think you and Mike could come to Pennsylvania? Maybe bring Chip and Jawa too?" I asked hopefully. 

"Sure!"

"Thank you!"

"Ben, we don't have all day. Rap it up." Erica said annoyed. 

"Guys, just get to Harrisburg as fast as possible." I sighed.

"Ok! Cya then Ben!"

"Bye." As I hung up Erica tapped me on the shoulder.

"I just hung up." I stated. 

"Okay?"

"You said to rap it up. So I did."

"Just come on."

"Okay?" I was seriously confused. "What do you need?" As I said this she gave me the 'it should be obvious' look.

"You." And that was when I fainted from exhaustion.

Erica's POV

"You." was the last thing I said before Ben fainted from what I assume was exhaustion. Come on! I was just about to tell him how I feel! This is so unfair. "Ben? Ben! Ben wake up!" No response. Where do we go now? My mom's being held hostage. Ben's fainted because of being tired, and our backup won't get here until tomorrow. 

*timeskip*

As Ben was finally waking up, Zoe and Mike walked in to our room.

"Wow, I didn't think you'd end up staying in such a nice hotel." Zoe said amazed.

"I know right!" Ben exclaimed. I put a cold face on when Zoe looked at me.

"Hey Erica!" 

"Hey."

"C'mon, whats with the sour attitude? We just got here and your already acting like we don't matter."

"I can act how I want to act." I said coldly. Ben walked up to Zoe and whispered something in her ear too quiet for even me to hear.

"Ben. What did you tell her?" was all that came out of my mouth before Chip and Jawa came into the room and gave Ben a bro hug.

"Guys. It's only been 2 days, chill." Ben joked. 

"So? I still wanted to make sure you were okay." Chip punched Ben's shoulder as he said this. And that's when I for some reason got up, and twisted his arm behind his back. I just did it. No conscious telling me otherwise, I just... did it. 

"Whoa. Erica chill." Mike said, clearly worried that I was going to murder Chip. 

"Mike, just don't. This is Erica's way of being chill." Ben teased. 

"Fair enough. But can you please get Erica to stop killing Chip?"

"I can try." he stated. "Erica... can you please stop hurting Chip? He just punched me for fun, not to actually try to hurt me." I sighed and let go of Chip. I then gave him a glare that told him everything, 'you hurt him again and you will die'. 

Zoe's POV

I heard my phone buzzing as me and Mike were walking to ASP 303, it was Ben.

"Hey Ben!" I exclaimed joyfully.

"Hey. Do you think you and Mike could come to Pennsylvania? Maybe bring Chip and Jawa too?" he asked.

"Sure!"

"Thank you!" I heard someone tell him to rap it up, my guess was Erica.

"Guys, just get to Harrisburg as fast as possible." he sighed.

"Ok! Cya then Ben!"

"Bye."

"So. We're going to Pennsylvania?" Mike asked.

"Yeah. Me, you, Jawa, and Chip."

"Sweet! Are we going to join Ben and Erica?"

"Yeah, they're having some trouble with the mission. Joshua just won't die."

*timeskip*

As we got off the plane we followed the directions to the Hampton Inn. When we walked into their room after we got our stuff in our room it was amazing. They had fully furnished beds, couches, chair, you name it. Erica was just sitting on the side of the bed while Ben looked like he was just waking up. 

"Wow, I didn't think you'd end up staying in such a nice hotel." I said amazed.

"I know right!" Ben exclaimed. Erica put a cold face on when I looked at her.

"Hey Erica!"

"Hey."

"C'mon, whats with the sour attitude? We just got here and your already acting like we don't matter."

"I can act how I want to act." she said coldly. 

Ben walked up to me and whispered, "I can blackmail her so she's really trying to be calm right now, and act cold.

"Ben. What did you tell her?" was all that Erica said before Chip and Jawa came into the room and gave Ben a bro hug.

"Guys. It's only been 2 days, chill." Ben joked.

"So? I still wanted to make sure you were okay." Chip punched Ben's shoulder as he said this. Erica then suddenly just got up and twisted Chip's arm behind his back. Wow, was not expecting that.

"Whoa. Erica chill." Mike said, clearly worried that she was going to murder Chip.

"Mike, just don't. This is Erica's way of being chill." Ben teased.

"Fair enough. But can you please get Erica to stop killing Chip?"

"I can try." he stated. "Erica... can you please stop hurting Chip? He just punched me for fun, not to actually try to hurt me." she sighed and let go of Chip. She then gave him a glare that would send shivers down anyone's spine. 

"Hey guys. Let's all calm down. If we want to get this mission to succeed we need to cooperate with each other, and not try to kill one another." Jawa said trying to change the topic.

"Yeah guys. Jawa's right." Ben stated. 

The I butted in and said, "So. What exactly is going on?"

"Simple, Joshua's back, as well as Ashley, Warren, and Dane." Erica chimed in.

"Yeah I know that but what are they doing?"

"Something called Operation: Phantom Menace." Ben stated.

"That's correct."
