CHAPTER TWELVE

Of course, that was easier said than done, because I barely got to see Greta for the rest of the day. Because we were scheduled into different classrooms, we rarely got to see each other in class again. Even on the rare occasions we did have the same class, Greta would usually sit on the other side of the room away from me, her head buried in her textbook like she was trying to avoid looking at me. Either she suspected that I was onto her and knew she was lying to me or she was just in such a hurry to get through the school day that she didn’t want to waste time talking to me. I tried to keep an eye on her all day anyway, though given how little time we spent together, I didn’t learn much that I didn’t already know.

We did have lunch together in the cafeteria, but we didn’t sit alone. Frank joined us, as did a couple of his fellow Beams Fan Club members, and the three of them dominated the entire lunch period by talking about Beams. Again, it was kind of weird to hear them speculating on Beams’ identity while I was sitting right there, but at the same time, I tried to focus more on Greta and tried to get her to talk. Unfortunately, she didn’t say very much and often redirected my questions to the Beams Fan Club members, who all spoke loudly enough that it was almost impossible to have a private conversation with her.

So I gave up, expecting to catch her after school. Unfortunately, when school let out for the day, Greta was one of the first students out, and by the time I reached the front steps, she was long gone. I sent her a text, asking her to call me back when she had a moment, but because she did not respond right away, I doubted I would hear back from her for a while.

So I made my way across town to the Elastic Cave to start work. As I descended into the Cave via the elevator, I wondered what Rubberman was going to have for me to do today. I had not received any emergency calls or texts from Rubberman about any urgent missions, so I assumed that I would spend the day training until it was time for me to go home. Not that I was complaining about that. I still felt inadequate after my utter failure to stop the Robber and was looking forward to a good training session. Especially if it would take my mind off of Greta. As much as I liked her, I was starting to realize that trying to pry the truth from her was like trying to claw open a seamless stone door with your bare fingers.

When the elevator dinged and the doors opened, I stepped out into Level One and said, “Hi, boss! I’m ready to work!”

But there was no answer. Level One appeared entirely
