Chapter Thirteen

Spies are wise. Spies are strong. But, most of all, spies are patient.

We waited two weeks. TWO WEEKS! Do you know how long that

is in fifteen-year-old-girl time? A lot. A LOT, a lot. I was really

starting to empathize with all those women who talk about

biological clocks. I mean, I know mine's still got a lot of ticks left

in it, but I still managed to think and worry about Operation Josh

every spare minute—and that was at genius spy school, where

spare minutes aren't exactly common. I can only imagine the

misery of a girl going to a normal school, since she probably isn't

going to spend her Saturday nights helping her best friend crack

the codes that protect U.S. spy satellites. (Liz even split the extra

credit she earned from Mr. Mosckowitz with me—the cash prize

offered by the NSA, she kept.)

We were in the classic holding pattern, gathering info, building his

profile and my legend, biding our time until we had what we

needed to go in.

Two weeks of this. TWO WEEKS! (Just in case you missed it

before.)

Then, as with all good covert operatives, we caught a break.

Tuesday, October 1. Subject received an e-mail from Dillon, screen

name "D'Man," asking if The Subject would like a ride home from

play practice. The Subject responded by saying that he would be

walking home—that he needs to return some videos at "AJ's"

(local establishment located on town square that specializes in

movie and video game rentals).

I looked at the e-mail as Bex slid it onto the breakfast table in front

of me.

"Tonight," she whispered. "We're on."

During CoveOps class I honestly couldn't write fast enough. Joe

Solomon is a genius, I thought, wondering why I'd never realized it

before.

"Learn your legends early. Learn them well," he warned as he

leaned over, gripping the back of the teacher's chair I'd never seen

him sit in. "The split second it takes you to recall something your

cover identity would know is the split second in which very bad

people can do very bad things."

My hand was shaking. Pencil marks were going everywhere on the

page—kind of like the time I picked up a pencil to use in Dr. Fibs's

class, only it turned out it wasn't an ordinary pencil, but rather a

prototype for a new Morse code auto-translator. (Needless to say, I

still haven't fully recovered from the guilt of sharpening it.)

"Most of all, remember that going into deep cover does not mean

approaching subjects." Mr. Solomon eyed us. "It means putting

yourself in a position where the subject approaches you."

I don't know about regular girls, but when you're a spy, getting

dressed to go out can be something of a production. (Can I just say

thank goodness for Velcro—seriously—no wonder the Gallagher

Academy invented the stuff.)

"I still think we should have put her hair up," Liz said. "It looks

glamorous."

"Yeah," Macey scoffed, "because so many girls go for glamour

when they hang out at the Roseville town square."

She had a point.

Personally, I didn't care, which
