Hello! For you new faces, this is my first time writing, so bear with me. This story is after Amy and Dan rescue everyone. To old readers, this is rewritten. Hopefully better. Please read, review and enjoy! I don't own thirty nine clues. Sadly. Anyway… let the story begin!

"Dan! They're back!" called Amy over her shoulder, as she ran from the house. As Nellie, Fiske, Natalie, Alistair, Ted, Phoenix, Atticus and Reagan emerged from the car, family and friends converged on them. Amy was half-laughing, half-crying as she gave everyone a hug. She scanned the crowd of distant relatives, trying to find her brother, but Dan was off chasing Saladin. She didn't have much time to find him though. Amy was running around, bouncing from place to place like Dan on a sugar rush. Everyone understood why she was so happy, though. This was the captives' first time home since the Vespers had released them. Nellie's shoulder still was sore from the Vespers shooting her shoulder, so as soon as Sinead could get down the driveway, Nellie was whisked inside for medical treatment. Fiske watched them as he walked over to Amy and gave her a hug. He looked around after greeting her.

"Where's Evan?" he asked, puzzled. "He never usually leaves your side." Amy's excitement faded and she looked down, tasting bile. Ian saw her expression and guessed what they were talking about. He pushed through the throng of people to get to them. Ian met Fiske's eyes.

"Evan?" he asked Fiske.

Fiske nodded in response.

"We found out he was a Vesper. She broke up with him. It was painful. Literally."

"Painful?" inquired Fiske, grimacing.

"She landed a few blows and pushed him out a window," replied Ian with a wry smile.

"Oh my. Is he…?" Fiske couldn't bring himself to say dead. He wasn't sure whether to be proud that she took on a Vesper herself, or disapproving that she pushed someone out a window.

"Dead? No. He landed in the pool. He was pretty scratched up though. My sources say he is still in the hospital." Ian and Fiske simultaneously looked at Amy.

She glared at them, green eyes flashing. "He deserved it."

"I never said he didn't," soothed Fiske. They joined the procession heading up the Cahill's long driveway. Leila, Phoenix's mother, was fussing over him as she led him to their car. She had insisted that she leave as soon as Phoenix arrived. Leila paled as she learned he had taken the bullet out of Nellie's shoulder. Her eyes narrowed and she stomped over to Alistair.

"Phoenix, get in the car."

"But, mom..."

"Now." They saw the defeated Phoenix get into the car while Leila walked over to Alistair and started yelling at him. Alistair started edging toward where the Holts, who were welcoming Reagan back. Amy knew from talking to Hamilton that he still felt shaken from seeing her get hit with a crossbow after they shot Nellie. Ian had joined Natalie, and was listening to her story. Amy couldn't help but notice the looks Natalie was gave Dan. Interesting, she thought. They weren't looks of loathing or disgust...possibly, tolerance? It was the nicest she'd ever seen Natalie.

Nellie and Sinead rejoined them, and Sinead brought her brothers together in an embrace. She had been pacing while waiting for them to get home. She passed Alistair, who had finally gotten rid of Leila, and was now listening to something on his cell phone. Dan joined them, after finally catching Saladin and was carrying him up the driveway. He almost dropped Saladin several times while talking. Saladin was wriggling, trying to escape from Dan's tight grip. He had been cooped up for weeks, and didn't want to be confined any longer. Just them Nellie strode over to Amy and Dan.

"Hey kiddos, how are you? Sinead just gave me this really soothing medicine. She said she made it herself," said Nellie as she hugged Amy, Dan and the squirming Saladin.

Ian walked over. "Am I the only one who realizes that that position has potential as a torture device?" Everyone else laughed at that.

"Come on guys. I'm serious!" he groaned. He couldn't help grinning though at their faces and the happiness in the air. The teens watched as Dan tried to recapture Saladin, who had taken advantage of Nellie's hug to escape. Hamilton came over.

"I bet the cat escapes," he said, chuckling.

Amy made a shushing noise. "I want to hear this."

"Come here Saladin! I'll get three full bowls of red snapper, just for you," Saladin paused on the garden wall. "That's it," coaxed Dan. "Stay still." Just as he reached for Saladin, the cat jumped into the trees and disappeared. Dan stomped his foot angrily and spun around. He was surprised to see Natalie near him. She laughed at his attempt at catching Saladin. She pulled out a can of red snapper from her bag.

"I heard he likes this. He has good taste. Here," she said tossing him the can. "You can use this to get him back." She ran to catch up to everyone else, leaving him to try and recapture Saladin. Dan was luring him in while Amy, Ian, Sinead, and Hamilton laughed at his efforts, Saladin stubbornly refusing to move.

"I hope he catches Saladin," Sinead remarked. "It will be hard to find him if he escapes." The teens and the rest of the group had made it to the steps of the mansion. Dan ran to catch up to everyone, holding tightly to Grace's cat. Natalie walked over to Ian. Amy saw him ask her a question and her responding. She smiled when Natalie slapped Ian as he smirked at her. Everyone quieted down as Fiske stood on the front step.

"Everyone please report to the Cahill command room. Dan will lead you there." Dan started in with Natalie close behind him. Amy silently did a quick attendance check as they drifted in. Fiske, Dan, Natalie, Ned, Ted, Reagan, Madison, Hamilton, Sinead and Jonah were all present. She and Ian followed the last person to make sure no one got lost.

She walked behind Jonah to the command center. The technology in the command center was consisted of fingerprint scanners, video cameras, a telescope following the Gideon (their satellite, not the dead ancestor) and LCD touch screen walls.

In the room they had contact with people all over the world. Sinead designed some software that would keep all the technology going even if there was a blackout or loss of power. As the last people straggled to their seats Amy walked up to Fiske.

"The Holt parents, Atticus and Alistair Oh are missing," she said quietly.

In the same tone Fiske replied, "I know. The Holt parents are watching a game in town and Alistair is heading to Cairo."

"Atticus?"

"Heading home. His father wants to see him." Amy straightened and went to sit next to Dan at the same time Fiske stood up. The room settled down. After outsmarting Vesper 1, everyone was ready for the next stage of the plan.

"Welcome back, everyone. Let the meeting begin."

I hope you liked it. Review any mistakes! Thanks.
