The InBESTigators oneshots and other stuff

Undercover - Part 1

Maudie glanced at Ezra, trying to read his facial expression to see if he was mentally prepared since they had bigger parts than the other two. Both were dressed in formal wear, while Kyle and Ava wore butler-like uniforms.

"You know, I'm feeling pretty nervous." Maudie looked down and fixed a little wrinkle on her silky, flowy, sage-green gown that Ava had made for her. "I feel very overwhelmed; I'm not used to feeling overwhelmed."

"I can't relate." Ezra looked at Maudie and grabbed her hand to comfort her a little. He thought it would help since it wasn't the first time he had seen her in a bit of distress. "I get overwhelmed a lot all the time."

Maudie froze and stared at their linked hands for a while before pulling away, "L-let's just get in there and get this over with." She walked away while shaking her head, Ezra trailing behind her with a frown on his face.

Once they got in, they were greeted by the sound of classical music and the blinding chandelier lights. All the guests were having a good time, chatting, drinking expensive alcohol, and dancing with their partners.

Before they could even say or do anything, they saw a familiar face from a distance who caught their attention quickly since she wasn't hard to miss, her entrance was backed up with trumpets playing an attention-grabbing sound, and she definitely knew how to make an entrance as she sashayed in with confidence. This familiar face had luscious honey-blonde hair and blue eyes; she was dressed in a crepe pink gown, and her body was built like an hourglass. A human Barbie would sum up her appearance in a nutshell.

Her name was Colette Hadleigh Carson.

Colette popped her left hip coquettishly and blew a kiss over one shoulder at her many admirers, who were fawning over her. She had a natural hypnotic spell that could lure anyone into doing her bidding, especially men. She was like a siren, but instead of using her voice, she used her beauty.

So naturally, she was very well known in town.

"Woah." Ezra muttered, watching Colette as she walked around, greeting all the guests individually since she was the hostess. Maudie was a bit annoyed, but she couldn't really blame him since she knew the natural power Colette had. Even Kyle, who was in a relationship with Ava, couldn't help but stare at her when she passed by them.

Maudie crossed her arms and sighed. "She is really pretty, isn't she?"

Ezra snapped out of his daze once he heard Maudie's voice because he remembered that there was someone way better than Colette. "She is, but you're much more alluring and smart too; that's way better."

Maudie couldn't help but smile a little, still keeping her eyes on Colette. "Charming yet cheesy, I don't hate that compliment."

Ezra was frowning, but the corners of his lips were turned up, also known as an upside-down smile. "Yeah, I can be rather charming."

"Don't get too ahead of yourself there, Ezra." Maudie smiled, giving him a little nudge. "Let's just get our assignment over with."

She didn't want to wait for Colette to come to them, so she started walking toward her, planning to start a casual conversation. However, she accidentally bumped into someone who was also very familiar and well-known.

Christopher Hadleigh Carson

He was also quite good-looking, but his appearance looked mediocre compared to that of his twin sister, Colette, considering that they were supposed to be identical twins. Still, he had quite a few fans who really liked his look.

"I'm sorry, ma'am."

Maudie and Christopher met eyes, giving each other a friendly expression. However, Ezra couldn't help but notice the look he was giving her.

"Don't apologize; I was the one that bumped into you." Maudie smiled and fluttered her eyelashes in an attempt to flirt.

Ezra was absolutely appalled by what he had just witnessed.

Without thinking, he grabbed Maudie's shoulders possessively and pulled her closer to him to signal Christopher to back off "Aren't you Christopher Hadleigh Carson, Colette's twin brother?"

Christopher sighed and rolled his eyes. "Yes, I am. I guess I'll forever be labeled as Colette's twin brother."

Maudie and Ezra looked at each other, not knowing what to say in return.

"My name is Anna Cooke." Maudie pulled out her hand for a shake. "And my friend's name is..."

"Aston..." Ezra droned, "Droomer. Aston Droomer."

Christopher shook Maudie's hand and looked at his Rolex watch for a brief moment. "It's a pleasure meeting you two, but unfortunately I have to leave right now."

Before walking away, he glanced at Maudie and gave her a wink. Which obviously made Ezra really mad and annoyed.

He did not like what he saw.

"Look, I know we're having some issues in our relationship, but I saw the way you were trying to flirt with him-"

Maudie immediately shushed him by putting her index finger on his lips, "Before you go there, I was distracting him. I actually did my mission and swiped his keycard from his blazer pocket and stuffed it inside my bust area. Well, the original mission was to collect Colette's voice recognition, but we got a little sidetracked, so I went for Christoper instead. I just hope Kyle and Ava have collected their fingerprints."

Ezra's eyes widened. "Y-you did?"

"Yep. Before you ask why I would hide the keycard inside my bust area, this dress doesn't have pockets, and no one would dare search this area." Maudie explained.

Ezra turned pink in the face as he shook all the bad thoughts away and set his focus on the mission.

"Also, I get the hype about him now." Maudie smiled, knowing very well what she was trying to do. "Ava's right; he is quite good-looking."

Ezra crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. "I know what you're trying to do, Maudie."

Maudie smiled confidently and looked him in the eyes.

"Whatever do you mean?"

The way she said it had an effect on Ezra, it made his heartbeat faster, and sweat started accumulating on his palms.

"Now, enough of this nonsense."

Maudie's stern words snapped Ezra back into reality, "We need to find Ava and Kyle so we can all break into the Hadleigh office with our items." She scanned the room with her naked eye, hoping to find a brown-haired, teenage-looking girl with a ponytail or a tall, dark-skinned guy with bushy black curls.

"Right, sorry."

He started helping her but was interrupted by a very loud, attention catching yell from behind.

"Hey, you two!"
