Alexis' POV:

Scott looked pleased that I saved them from a near disaster. And he was dumb enough to trust me when all I've ever said were lies to him.

I'll have to admit, I was a skilled liar. Especially when it came to Alex. Those were the times when he decided to become a rebellious teen.

He was caught many times but always turned to me when he was stuck. I didn't do much except for twisting the truth and Alex continued the rest of the lie.

That came to end when mom found out about his ways and caught him sneaking out while talking to one of his 'friends' on the phone.

Plus mom found cigarettes in his closet. Ones that even I didn't know about and he had a long talk with mom.

You can pretty much guess how that went for Alex.

So that was how I learned to come up with lies on spot.

I told it to mom and she was beyond furious that she considered sending us to boarding school.

But we quickly calmed her down and promised her that it won't happen again unless completely necessary.

After I told Scott about the 'coincidence' he let us all go to bed.

Alex had texted me what he had heard. He even asked me how many times I had lied to him.

I told him off for that.

When I woke up the next morning, I was immediately greeted with Ryder who told me that Scott called in for a meeting.

Without having breakfast we went to the meeting room where he was.

Once we were all seated, he said, "So, this is new to all of us. A meeting before breakfast. I've called you all here now because I have to tell you all something. You all will be in my sight the whole day and tonight we'll go for the Summers this time and make them come to us."

I really hope Alex heard that because I won't be able to do anything the whole day to inform him.

It was still early in the morning and Alex doesn't wake up at this time. I really hope he didn't get enough sleep like I did.

As rude as that sounds.

"Why do you want to keep in in sight?" Ryder asked him.

Scott put his hands on the table and looked at him dead in the eye. "Because this will help me find out who the traitor is." He said.

Again, I hope Alex heard that.

So far, it's one in the afternoon and we've been sitting in the meeting room the whole day.

Scott took away our phones and any source of contact through which I could tell Alex about what been happening.

He might call any minute and I'll be caught. My whole plan would be ruined. That is if he hadn't heard it through the microphone that was still under the table.

"Why do we have to go for the Summers this time? Can't we go for the Kings instead? The guards might have been gone by now since we were about to rob them yesterday."  I said in hopes that Alex was listening.

"Because we don't go for one victim twice. Not until the whole plan had played out completely and the last step is the only thing that's left." Scott answered.

"Why take our phones if you know that there isn't anyone over here that will give info to others?"

"Because I have a doubt. And I don't take chances." He answered.
