Chapter Thirteen

Fake Me

It felt comforting to be sitting crossed-legged on the Persian carpet in the palace living room—my father’s favorite place. But it didn’t soothe my rattled nerves, so I took a series of deep yoga breaths. In three hours I was going to turn myself over to Palmer. Or at least it had to appear that way. Mr. X was frantically working on a solution.

In the meantime, I’d been trying to do damage control after Palmer blasted the news all over Heaven that the One and Only was actually my father and not the Boss of Heaven. To calm the people of Heaven down I had the angels fly in formation over New Life City spelling out; Don’t Believe the Words of Evil. Believe in The One And Only. When Austin asked about who my father was I told him the billboard was all lies. Just Palmer stirring the pot as usual. My father was alive back on Earth. He seemed to believe me—for now.

Mrs. Schwartz barged into the living room, interrupting my tranquil moment. She took her promise to my father very seriously and never left me alone for very long. She even went so far as to set up a cot outside my bedroom. I stuffed back a laugh when I caught her wearing pajamas with bunnies frolicking on a pink background, and a pair of matching slippers with ears neatly placed next to the cot. Having my afterlife coach in residence did have its benefits. I finally knew the answer to one of Heaven’s biggest mysteries. How did the Helmet stay so perfectly coiffed? Mrs. Schwartz slept with the Helmet encased in a wide elastic band like the ones people put around their waist to lose weight.

Mrs. Schwartz hovered over me. “Mr. X needs to see you right away.”

I reluctantly uncrossed my legs and stood up. “Okay, I’ll call Sabrina.”

The Helmet listed slightly back and forth as she shook her head. “No need to bother your guardian. To save time, Mr. X will use the transporter device.”

My earpiece clicked on. Mr. X said, “Taylor, are you ready? Do you have everything you need? We have a lot of work to do.”

“Sure, not like it’s the first time I’ve been folded into a pretzel.” I turned to Mrs. Schwartz. “You don’t trust me, do you?”

She smirked. “I remember the debacle with the ringed dress from the Cloud Nine Contest.”

She would have to mention that screw up. So I became a ghost for a little bit. No biggie. “Right. Point taken.”

A strange prickly sensation spread through my body as a high-pitched hum grew louder. Instead of feeling like I’d been folded into an origami animal as usual, I just felt a little lightheaded. I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, I was standing in Mr. X’s lab. I blinked twice when I saw myself standing on the other side of the room. “What’s going on? Is that some kind of ginormous mirror? That’s your big plan to foil Palmer?”
