Aria's POV

"Aria, please! Let's go home!" Eve pleaded, for what has to be the fourth time now.

"I've already told you! I need to check this out. I also said that you're more than welcomed to stay in the car." I parked the car behind one of the old houses, and killed the engine.

Okay, so an old friend of mine, Lester, called saying that one of James' men had been seen on one of his brother's fights. Lester and his brother are street fighter and I often workout with them when I need to blow off some steam.

I got out of the car and started walking to the club where Lester told me to meet him and his older brother Logan.

"Okay! I'll come with you!" I heard Eve scream from behind me and seconds later she was walking next to me, holding on to my arm. Eve has never been fond of this side of the town, it's quite hilarious actually.

"Aria!!" I smiled and ran into Lester's open arms. Someone clearing their throat interupted my little catching up with Lester. Logan smiled at me.

"So you give my younger brother a hug but not me? That's mean, sis." He said pouting. I laughed and threw myself around his neck.

"Boys, this is Eve." I pointed at Eve who were looking around the bar. "Maybe we should get to business, eh?" Logan nodded and started walking. I waved for Eve to come, and we followed them into the back.

"This is the video from outside the bar. The dude was talking to someone on the phone, we think that someone was James." Lester stated, pressing play on the computer.

"Her brother is back in town, along with her friends and Lucy's boys.... Yes... Yes I have.... Please, listen to me. Apparently they've been on one of your business party's' close by... We don't know... No... Ye-no... Okay. Okay!  Yes, boss. Bye." The man was frowning and pacing back and forth. In frustration he punched the brick wall. He groaned in pain before jumping in to one of the cars, driving away.

I looked questioning at Eve. She was obviously thinking. Eve has always been better at figuring out what to do, rather than just acting on inpuls.

"Aria, I think we need to talk to the others." She finally said and left. I nodded and looked over to the brothers.

"Thanks for having us, guys! It's highly appreciated." I gave them both another hug before waving goodbye. Eve was probably waiting for me in the car.

I hummed quietly to myself. But I suddenly stopped when I heard a man scream.

"Just tell us where she is!!" He growled. I pulled out my gun, and started walking closer. The voice came from where I had parked my car.

"Listen, you stupid cow. I told you I don't know." Eve's voice sounded strained. I held my breath and jumped out of hiding. I saw a guy pinning Eve to the side of my car, holding her neck. And another one with a gun pointed at Eve's head.

"Well look at that. Here she is. The famous Agent 23!" The man with the gun laughed sarcastically.

"Okay, well maybe you should put that gun down. Before I blow your head off." I said, aming my gun towards his head.

"What harm could someone like you do?" I tilted my head to the side, like I was oblivious to what he was saying.

"What's that supposed to mean, big boy?" I saw how the man holding Eve had his attention to me, I trusted Eve to see that I was distracting them so she could get away.

"You know what I mean. You're a girl, the only damage you should do is in the bed!" I held that big smile on my face, even though his sexistic comment pissed me off.

"Do you want to test that theory?" I asked. I guess Eve got the hint, because the second after the guy who earlier pinned her to the car, was now laying unconscious on the ground. The man with the gun looked over at his friend and I took this to my advantage by shooting him in his right shoulder, causing him to drop his gun. I ran up to him kicking him in the gut. He fell to the ground.

"Why are you here?" I asked, pressing the pipe of my gun against his temple.

"Now, now, sweetheart. We wouldn't want you to get your hands dirty, now would we?" I gritted my teeth. How come all James' men are sexist, homophobic, racist and arrogant bastards?

"That's where you're wrong old man. I would love to make a mess. Now tell me what the fuck you're doing here!" I raised my voice and the man's smile dropped.

"If I tell you, will you let me go?" He asked.

"Maybe, now Talk!"I demanded as he nodded.

James wanted me and Mason over there, to check up on where you lived, what you're friends are called, where they live, etc. basically your personal information." He smiled happily, probably thinking I would let him go now.

"Why?" I asked. He frowned again.

"I don't know. James has only told his uncle and Jaxon, no one else." I groaned and looked over at Eve.

"I guess I'm just going to have to kill you then." I shrugged. Just as I was going to pull the trigger, another gun fired. I looked over to see Eve fall to the ground, and the man who Eve knocked out standing with a gun in his hand.

I turned back to the one I was pointing my gun at and fired. I then turned to the man who shot Eve. He had started running, but wasn't more than maybe six meters away. I fired a shot at him and saw him fall to the ground.

Panicky I ran down to Eve. She was holding on to her leg. I pried her hands off her thigh, the bullet hadn't gone deep, but it had done some damage on the muscle.

Tearing off one of the sleeves of my shirt, I tied it around her leg.

"It will be okay. Eve, it will be fine." She smiled through clenched teeth. I pulled out my phone and called Tom.

I heard Justin shouting about how we need to do something about that bastard who shot "his girl". I didn't mind Justin calling her "his girl". But I don't like it that he's saying it in a way like she's his property. I know that's not the way he think, but it still bothers me a little.

I smiled, I had tracked down where James was lastly sawn. It was easy. The guys he sent down here was amatures. It was easy to track down the store the bullet was bought and, from there just track down where the gun was bought and talk to the store's owner to see who bought it.

I entered the door to the room Eve was in.

"I found the bastard, and I'm going to kill him!" I shouted, but was cut off by Cece who tackled me out of the room.

"Who was that?" Brent asked, and I mentally kicked myself, I wasn't wearing my mask, and the idiots are obviously here. I mouthed an apology to Cece, but she just slapped the back of my head.

"Oh! That was... Agent 23... She forgot... eh...  GET ME A SANDWICH!" I hear Em say, before the door closed and an angry Cece and Em glared at me. So, naturally from experiencing tons of angry Cece and Em's, I ran.

 ___________________________________________________

I know this is super short, I'm sorry for that!

But on another note, I've been thinking about starting a new story. I will probably end this one soon, and I want something new to continue with. I have some idea, but I don't know if any of you actually wants me to start a new one. Here are three of the ideas I have.

1.     Luke Hemmings fanfic. I was thinking I could base it upon one or more of my favorite songs of them.

2.     Teenage dirtbag. So I am seriously in love with that song and have been thinking of starting a story based on that song.

3.     Tutoring Mr. Badass. (I know there's a lot of these stories, but I really want to give it a try) I was thinking of writing about the schools troublemaker. Secretly she's a really good writer, but she hides it from everyone. When the schools bad boy, (whom she strongly dislike) needs tutoring, the teacher persuade her to tutor him.

I don't know if I should actually write about these things. But I would really appreciate it if you could maybe leave a comment if you want me to start a new story and if it's one of the three ideas above that you really want me to write.

Goodbye my fellow pandas!
