Chapter 13

Mission Impossible

“Rae. Rae.” Someone gently shook her shoulder. “We’re here.”

She popped her eyes open. Everything was sideways. Wait. No. She was sideways, lying across two seats on the train. She sat up, wide eyed and slightly dazed, like when you wake up for school and think you are running late. “Sorry. I fell asleep.”

Julian chuckled. “So did I, but obviously not as good as you.” He pointed to the side of her chin. “I think you’ve got some drool going on there.”

“No!” She frantically wiped the side of her mouth and checked her hand. There was nothing there. “Bugger,” she muttered and swiped at his hand planning on sending him a small Molly-bolt, in retaliation.

He easily foresaw her intentions and casually moved his body so she missed him. “Shall we go? London waits for no one.”

She grabbed her backpack and noticed her file stuffed neatly inside.

“Yes, I did that,” Julian answered before she even had a chance to ask the question. “Can’t leave it so easily out in the open, especially when the owner is dead-asleep drooling.”

“I wasn’t drooling!” She rubbed her eyes, and casually tried to wipe her face one more time – just to be on the safe side.

Julian chuckled.

Does the guy miss anything? Feeling a little grouchy, Rae swung her backpack over her shoulder and followed him off the train toward the subway. “What are we doing first?”

Julian checked a poster on the wall. “Heading to the museum.”

The thrill of the situation was starting to get into her. It made her feel pumped and jittery. She bounced up and down on her toes as she read the subway schedule. “Awesome! I’m super excited to do this but kind of nervous at the same time.”

Julian continued to stare at the poster. “Funny, I couldn’t really tell.”

Rae let her shoulder bang into his. Not hard, but just enough to let him know she could handle him. “Let’s go. The subway’s going to be here shortly.”

Julian stood with raised eyebrows as she paused after a few steps and turned around to see why he wasn’t following. “How do you know?”

“We need the District Line and the train’s about to come in.”

“Did you study the lines of the Tube last night?”

She shook her head and waved her hand to hurry him. She could feel the rumble of an approaching train under her feet. “No. I just looked at the map now.” She had the feeling of déjà vu, but couldn’t remember the last time she’d been here. She began walking as Julian caught up to her. “We’re at Upminster Bridge so we’re going to need to take the District Line to Bakerloo. We can get to Piccadilly Circus. Or we can take the Jubilee Line, to just past Piccadilly, to Green Park.” She waited as Julian pulled passes out of his backpack. “Is the museum closer to Green Park or Piccadilly?”

The subway train rushed by, whipping Rae’s hair across her face. She tucked it behind her ear, ignoring the weird stare Julian gave her.
