You don't let people see you cry. It kinda ruins the whole tough-girl act. It would be like Macey that cheap makeup they give out as free samples at malls. Or Liz, well…not being Liz. It's just one of those things, a fact of life.
Cami didn't know her parents were spies for a while, but I sure did. It's not like my dad ever came up to me and said; "hey Beckah, we're going to North Korea tomorrow to kill an ambassador. Wanna come?" but it also kind of wheat with out saying. My mum had that hand mirror that shot lasers out of the jewel on the hilt (not that I was alowed to use it anymore after the time I brought it to school and tried to cook my mashedpatatos with it (they did undercook them a lot)). And my dad while, let's just say e liked his spy toys.
They never told me; "we re spies, your grandparents were spies, and you'll be a spy." but they might as well have. I mean when your parents are M-I6s top agents, you don't realy have a choice in your future career, weather your parents mean so or not.
Bit they taught me alot of things. How to kill a person with my bare hands, kill a person with a spoon, kill a person with a watch and many other ways to kill. (and that's just my mom!) my dad taught me martial arts, tai-kwan-do, backflips,and a bunch of other things. (Thankyou dad) zachs always complaint how tough Blackthorn is, but try the Baxter family boot camp. But the one thing they both taught me more than anything is the number one rule. You don't cry.
So when my best friend climbed off of a helicopter with her mom. I didn't say anything. Lizzy was just so relieved that she was ok to be really mad. Macey said something about splitends and I? Well I just left. I couldn't look at her. Or I knew I would break that #1 coveops rule that had been drilled into my head my whole life.
