40 Go Team! (1/2)

”You mean... get kidnapped, right?” Michelle looked at Waze with a doubtful expression, and everyone looked like the gears were turning hard in their brains.

”Yeah, pretty much.” Waze nodded as if what she had just said was perfectly normal.

”No! No way! I'm not letting you girls put yourselves in that much danger.” Duke shook his head back and forth as if he was shaking off the thought.

”For once, I'm with the red head. That's way too dangerous.” Collin frowned in Waze's direction.

”It's the only way. When we all agreed to do this, we knew we were signing up for something dangerous. This isn't play time, this is real stuff. Real danger. This is what we have to do if we really wanna go through with this.” Waze's expression was stern and serious as she spoke.

”Alec, you're the mastermind, right? What do you think?” James turned to Alec who was deep in thought. All the girls were strangely silent, considering this directly concerned them.

”As much as I hate it, it probably is our best bet. I really don't like it, though. They won't be gentle with you. You don't know what could happen to you.” Alec looked at Waze. She knew what he was saying though, if she was really prepared to go through with this, then he would support her.

”It's what we have to do.” Waze stood her ground.

”I'm with Waze on this one. I don't like the idea, but it's our best bet.” Marco turned to the girls. ”But, I get that you all probably don't want to do it. It's crazy after all, so I don't blame you if-”

”You doubt us, Marco.” Cassidy grinned. ”I'm in. Let's drag those bastards through the dirt.”

”Me too. I didn't agree to help just to sit by, useless.” Michelle winked at Waze.

”I-I want to help to! I'll go with Waze and stuff!” Byrd smiled enthusiastically at Waze, and all the guys seemed particularly surprised at her words.

”I'm in,” Sable said in agreement. ”I'm sure we can handle ourselves.”

Marco sighed in defeat.

”Well, there you have it. Guess they're doing it.” Marco let out a heavy laugh.

”What?! We can't just let them waltz right up into Ebony, can we?” Collin was gritting his teeth in annoyance now.

”Seriously, this is way too much!”

”I'm hurt by your lack of confidence in us, Duke.” Michelle grinned. ”Don't forget I've beat you quite a few times in training.”

”That's right, we're no ordinary girls. All of us are combat trained to the fullest,” Cassidy said.

”I don't like it, but if it's what you girls want to do then I'm with it.” James nodded. Duke scrunched his face before sighing.

”Fine. I give in. You guys better not get killed.”

”I'm seriously going to kill those Ebony bastards once I get my hands on them. You guys better do the same.” Collin grinned at the group. With everyone showing support, the room turned to Alec who hadn't yet taken a side. If he said no, that would probably be the final word.

”It is the best option. If the girls can infiltrate Ebony, they can knock out a way for us to get in from the inside. Then, we can go in and take out Egar. Once we've done that, we can force him to let the girls go and then bring the police in to take care of the remaining Ebony members.”

”Look who's already got a plan. Geez, we didn't even ask.” Waze smirked up at Alec, who started for a second before sighing.
