"Don't worry your not gonna see them. I have to call them and let them know we're camping out but they won't blink an eye. They've been telling me to do this with the twins for a while." Cricekt replied.
"They have!" The twins shouted quietly.
"Oh don't get your nickers in a twist. I'll take you guys for real some other time. Kay girls, we ready to go?"

"Let's go," Tara said. And their plan was put into action. It was peaceful for several days. The twins reported no activity. Amelia thought she saw someone out of the corner of her eye, but when she turned around no one was there.

:It's time we called them isn't it?: Amelia asked
:I think so...: Alistair replied, :Keep the though trails within a full shield. She might be able to listen too:
The twins picked up the phone. They had been seeing things for days now, a shadow here, a retreating person there.
"hello?" Came the voice over the line.
"Cricket?" The twins said in union.
"Hey guys whats up?"
"We keep seeing people, the woman, she-"
The line clicked then went dead. And, the window exploded inwards.

Eve sat in her office, smiling to herself as she watched the TV screens. There were two of them, each relaying a different scene. One was the house of the the twins, the ones who were posing as the girls. The other was of their sister, who had the girls. She almost laughed out loud. They htought they could outsmart her.

A click sounded from behind Eve. The click of a revolvers safety being released.
"Thought you'd one for a moment didn't you?" Kiki Strike said in a low menacing voice.
"No," Eve replied, "I know I won"
The room filled with smoke. Kiki started to cough, her eyes watered. She ran forwards and opened the window. When the smoke cleared. Eve had gone. _____________________________________
The window had shattered inwards and the twins immediately went into action. Amelia threw mind bolts (shocks of mental pain) at the enemies making them pause in their actions to an almost fatal degree as Alistair used all the martial arts skills he knew.
But it was no use. The operatives kept coming. They were way outnumbered. And soon the people stopped coming in unarmed. ______________________________________
Cricket was fine, sitting in the room with the girls watching TV. Nothing had happened since they got here.
There was a knock at the door.
"Room service!" The voice called.
Typical thing for a person to say before they shoot the door down and kill you Cricket thought. But then again, nothing had happened all weekend there was no way they would strike now.
Cricket opened the door only to have her head connect with something solid. She blacked out.
When Cricket came to her and the girls were bound and gagged. They were blind folded. She only knew the girls were with her because she could feel two bodies pressed to her sides.
Suddenly there was light, her blindfold had been taken off.
Kiki Strike stood over her. She was in a tub. The girls were with her.
Kiki looked at her, eyes apologetic, "They have the twins"

Eve stood in a dark room looking down at the twins. They weren't perfect, but they might be something. She was kind of worried about how quickly the Strike girl had found her, but at least she got away. Always stay one step ahead, that was the way to stay alive. She brought back her attention as the twins stirred. Good. Time to make a call.

Cricket was, needless to say, freaking. Not that she openly hyperventalated or anything but her parents would flip if they found out! Actually, they might go after the bitch and kill her but...that wasn't the best option.
The phone rang.

"Hello?" Eve asked when the phone was picked up. Cricket started to curse into the phone, calling her some choice words. "Listen," she said, cutting her off, "I have them. If you want to see them again, you will bring the girls to me at the Empire State building tomorrow at eight. That's it. Period." She hung up.

Pay phone. Cricket redialed.
"What is it?" Eve asked.
"How stupid are you to wait around!" Cricket yelled, "On top of which, if you wanted the girls so badly why didn't your goons grab 'em when they bound and gagged us at the hotel?"
Click.
"No choice..." Cricket picked up the phone again and started to make the most difficult call of her life, to her parents.

Eve sat back on suprose. Goons? What goons? she hadn't sent anyone after the girls. She hadn't been able to find out where they were, only that they had been switched. That meant there was a third party. But she couldn't let Strike and her followers know that. They had to think she was in charge.

"YOU WHAT!!!" Came the strangled reply on the other end.
"I'm sorry, the girls were in danger. We had everything under control! Its not like the twins can't handle themselves and your boy's been on the path of the lift an' lay (or so he calls it) for years!" Cricekt yelled back.
"Well you obviously didn't have everything under control." Seth replied.
"MY SON'S BEEN ON THE WHAT??!!!" Augusta shouted, loud enough for everyone on Cricket's end to hear.
Kiki grabbed the phone.

"Mr. and Mrs. Maestro, I assure you we will do everything we can to secure the safe return of your children. We will get them back." "Who are you?" Seth demanded. "My name is Katherine," Kiki replied. "I'm a friend of cricket's. You have nothing to worry about."

Cricket put her arm around the girl.
"I don't know honey, but we have to trust that Kiki knows what she's doing." Cricket replied with confidence that she in no way felt. She was getting an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"No way am I entrusting the safty of my chilren to a mere girl!" Crickets mother shouted over the line, "Where are they? Me and my husband are going to get them back."

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Maestro," Kiki said in her most soothing tone, "but you will have to trust me. I know what I'm doing. I've got some friends, and we're more than just mere girls."
