"The primary job of a field agent is to use people - strangers, typically. Sometimes friends. Secretaries, neighbors, girlfriends, boyfriends, janitors, and little old ladies crossing the street. We use them all."

He stopped in the center of the foyer and turned to face us, while, behind him, main doors flew open. A van sat idling in the center of the drive. I was tempted to close my eyes and pretend that it was a really CoveOps lecture, that we had real CopeOps teacher again.

But then Townsend said, "But, of course, if that's somehow beneath a Gallagher Girl . . ."

"No, sir!" Tina chanted.

He stepped aside and gestured toward the open doors. "Then, after you."

What happened next was a rush of emotion and adrenalin like I hadn't felt in six weeks. It was intoxicating. I felt almost drunk. And yet I stayed still, watching my classmates race out the door and toward the waiting van.

"I suppose you think this optional, Ms. Morgan?" Agent Townsend stood staring at me through the open door.

"Of course I want to go, but there are these new security protocols" - I glanced away, somehow unable to face him as I admitted, "Professor Buckingham told me I'm not allowed to leave the grounds."

"And I suppose you think I've forgotten that fact?"

"No, sir."

"Then you think I'm a fool."

"No, sir, I -"

"Don't worry, Ms. Morgan, I know you're special. And because of you and your mother, I've spent a great deal of time and energy making special arrangements," he said with a condescending smirk. "But if you want to stay in the mansion . . ."

I didn't wait for him to finish. I was already out the door.
