don’t even know if Headquarters is safe anymore,” her mother said.
    â€œFine. Shamira, lock up,” her dad said. He grabbed her momby the hand. They gave her a quick hug goodbye, and were out the door.
    Taking a deep breath, Shamira looked around the room, which was bright, even with only few windows. She looked around and realized that the room was pretty open. There were no walls separating the main rooms. She looked toward the only wall in the room and knew it led to the bedrooms. Testing her ability to see through walls, she pushed her sight deeper into the room that was David’s. She saw his bed and a picture of the two of them at the videogame dome. In the picture, she was leaning toward him with her hands tangled in his brown hair. She wasn’t smiling, but he had a big grin on his face.
    She shook off the memory of the day they’d taken that picture. Turning, she went straight to her room and took a selfish moment to look around, realizing that she liked the dark pink and purple colors. Taking a moment for research, she sat down at her desk and tapped into the Security Force main computer, still undetected. She wanted to know exactly what she was up against and what the Security Force knew about this crime organization, Monev.
    â€œJackpot!” she said when the screen came up with the results of her search.
Hum, the scum is trading drugs on Mars and Earth.
Now she realized why the Security Force on Earth locked down their airspace: They were cutting off the source of the drug that was not only highly addictive, but also gave its host extremely aggressive behavior when the addiction grew worse.
    Shamira knew about the drug trading, but she still didn’t know how the missing kids fit in the picture. She wondered how they tracked and captured the Security Force members. The Security Force members were extremely well trained and stronger than the average person. It would take ten average men to bring down just one Security Force Elite member.
    Her research reached a dead end, and she decided it was time for her to do some digging of her own. She got up and threw off the jacket she had worn home. She quickly grabbed her hunting clothes and her weapons. Smiling, she placed her shades on her eyes. She still like the way they felt.
I’m ready.
    As she walked out onto the driveway, she felt something strange, as if someone were watching her.
Man, this sight is making me lazy.
She closed her eyes and inhaled. It was that boy. Tingling started in the pit of her stomach, so she took a calming breath. She was curious what he looked like, but she wasn’t about to let him know that. She stood up straighter and turned around slowly. Her breath caught when her eyes landed on him. He was beautiful. A bit taller than she was, he was dressed in a black form-fitting jacket and jeans. He had billowy blonde curls, dark green eyes, and dimples on each cheek. He smiled at her with the cocky, self-assured grin. She slowly lowered her glasses and frowned at him.
    â€œWhat do you want? I thought I told you to stay away from me - boy,” she spat out and put her hand on her hip.
    â€œMy name is Valens, and you are not getting rid of me. Also,from the way you look, I’m older than you - girl,” he said with a lift of his eyebrow. “I want the same thing you want—to find the bastards who are stealing kids and killing the Security Force members.”
    He sauntered toward her. She didn’t want him to come too close, or he would see how uncomfortable he made her. Taking a deep breath, she thought,
I better work really hard to fake it.
She didn’t want him to go with her because she worked best alone, and she was sure he’d make her lose her concentration.
    â€œWell, it’s up to you to try and keep up. I don’t like partners -they’re sloppy,” she said, and then turned from him.
    â€œCome out, Pearl,” she said to her motorcycle.
    â€œWho said I
