Paige followed after Vaughn, hoping that he knew where he was going. While she was walking, she tied her hair back into a loose braid.

Artemis got up and followed them. The other kid was following them. She sighed but didn't say anything.
Phoebe stood up and walked down the isles of the library, trying to find something else on the subject. The other books she had skimmed through were boring and had little to no information on what she wanted.
Eventually, Vaughn made his way into the library. He had checked other places, but hadn't seen Phoebe anywhere. When he walked into the library, he glanced down the isles, jogging over when he spotted her. He jogged over, and spoke in a quick tone. “You’re not still in the broom closet?” It was an actual question, though it sounded like it could have been offensive. He hoped she didn’t take it in that way.
Paige stopped a little bit behind Vaughn, looking around him to look at Phoebe. She just now realized that she didn't even come up to his shoulders, so she stood on her tiptoes to make herself feel more powerful.
Phoebe turned her head towards him. "It was a quickie. They don't take very long, hence the name quickie." She replied, pulling a book off the shelf. "You're welcome though. As long as we keep fucking, you and you're merry band of rebels get left alone."
“I know what a quickie is,” Vaughn muttered in response. “And I really don’t think that’s the best option on dealing with Reid.”
Artemis suppressed rolling her eyes.
"As I've said countless times before, I can handle him." She said.
Paige finally put two and two together. "Wait, you're helping us with Reid by f**ing him?!"
Phoebe nodded. "Yes, we made a deal. I give him favors and he leaves you all alone. Don't worry, it's a temporary arrangement. Soon enough I'll have him eating out of my hand."
Vaughn quickly shushed Paige, turning back to Phoebe. Getting into an argument about her methods would not help them. “I never said you couldn’t handle him, I’m sure he cried like a bastard once you two were done. I’m sure saying that there could be another way.”
"I think there may be a better course of action."
Artemis sighed, face palming. This gal was crazy.
Phoebe grabbed another book. "Maybe, but it would have taken too long to find one. People could have gotten hurt again."
“Now we have time to think of something while he isn’t around at the moment,” Vaughn said, a muscle in his jaw ticking.
"So you're going to…do him to keep him from hurting people? I don't necessarily like you, but I can't let you do that." Paige stated, crossing her arms.
"And what are you going to do? Gang up on him and beat him to a pulp? What I'm doing it much more effective and much less harmless than anything you have planned."
"Hey, if she's fine with f**king a random creep let her." Julia said.
Artemis shrugged. After being forced into adhering to a certain mindset for a lifetime, she was trying to have a neutral take on things. Especially if it was Phoebe.
Paige sighed. "Fine. Don't say I wasn't being nice to you."
"You weren't being nice to me."
“If we just think about this, we can come up with something,” Vaughn said. He felt stressed. Almost as if he was beginning to loose his breath.
"Alright then. Should we all take a seat?"
"I tried." Paige responded to Phoebe before turning to Artemis. "Sure, but we need to find a secluded place."
