Summary: The story is a cross between the Show My Own Worst Enemy and our favorite Gallagher Girls. The narrator is Jake, the son in the show played by Taylor Lautner. He goes to Gallagher Academy. Please read, I think it is a good story. I promise in later chapter the Gallagher girls will be in this story. The first few chapters are just to set up the story.
Please Please review if you like it. You don't ever have to make full sentences you can put applesauce if you want. Please tell me what you think, if you have any ideas, anything. If I don't get any reviews, I will think no one likes the story.

Chapter 1
He thinks I don't know. Some spy he is… I have known for a long time. I got accepted to a private school. A prestigious school with an amazing reputation of breeding people who have obtained high power. The Secretary of Defense, Director of the CIA and the Ambassador to Iraq all went to this school. If you look into their backgrounds, you won't find anything unusual, but there I know something most don't. They all were spies. Recruited and trained by the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Youth. It is like a normal private school, we have P.E. and Chemistry. However, my chem class is a study of the chemistry of biological agents to be used for warfare. And P.E. is actually Protection and Enforcement class. We are required to learn 14 different languages in order to graduate.
Most parents don't know about the real curriculum of Gallagher, some parents attended the school themselves. Not mine though; I was recruited by Mavis Heller, my dad's boss. Mrs. Heller attended Gallagher herself and thought I would be a great fit for her alma mater. She has told me all about my dad. But she hasn't told my dad that I know. Mrs. Heller thought I would be just like my dad. She was right. I have read my own file, against the rules I know, but what the heck. My teachers all say I have the most natural talent they have seen in a long time. I have already been on several retrieval missions all over the world. My mom thinks I am at Carson's house. But usually I am out of the country when she calls me to see when I am coming home. Carson is my best friend and a member of my team. We, Carson, Elizabeth and I are the top team at the school. We have never failed a mission.
Yet here we are on a rooftop just outside of Paris admitting we have failed. Why have we failed??? How could we fail??? One reason… My father. My dad, Edward is here. He can't see us here as our cover would be blown. According to Gallagher rules, family is not allowed to work together. Second reason is my team, our school, the missions, they don't really exist. The principal of our school reports directly to the President and the Secretary of Defense. It is pretty sad, but if we are caught, no one knows us. We can't exist. What would the world say if they knew the United States government hires children as spies? Kinda stupid but whatever, the missions are fun! And the benefits will be worth it. I get to pick whatever college I want, not just apply but I get to choose. And get it… Imagine if all high school students got to sit down with their best friends and decide which college to go to, then they were all accepted. Cool, right?
Another benefit, I have been to more countries in my four and half years at Gallagher than some grown ups have ever been. Ok so I don't get to actually see much of the country but hey it is pretty cool.
The Gallagher Academy is a boarding school for most. I still live at home. When I joined the school in 7th grade, guys were now being allowed to attend Gallagher. It used to be the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. The Blackthorn Institute for Boys was closed. No one ever explained why it was closed, but all of the guys who were there where now attending the new Gallagher Academy for Youths. All this was great, hot girl spies and me in a school. Nice…
There was only one downside… The man currently screwing up my mission down there, walking down the side of the long fountain past the manicured lawns of Versailles Palace in France, my dad… The super spy…
"What are we going to do?" said Elizabeth, breaking me from my trance. My dad had just gone up the stairs. We could see him going in the side door of the Hall of Mirrors. There he was, thousands of him, mocking me and my team….
"Is there any way around him? Any other way to get to the target?" asked Carson.
Elizabeth tapped furiously at the computer on her lap. "No", she said, "nothing that I can see."
"Besides I don't know where Raymond is hiding," I said, "We are just going to have to leave it to the Jeremies."
We all exchanged a glance. None of us were too happy with that decision. The Jeremies, Jeremy, Brad, Tony, Madison and Page, were the number two team at Gallagher. Well tied for two with team chameleon. We had been number one since the first day. We, Elizabeth, Carson and me, don't play well with others. Its not that we don't like them, we are just better than they are. I mean please there are 5 of them to our three, and we still win everything.
"Nope, this mission is scrubbed." I said sadly, "Let's go home… What else can we do?"
Carson and Elizabeth shrugged and started packing up. "So, what do you want to do tonight?" asked Elizabeth.
"Let's stop in New York and grab a pizza.", I answer hungrily.
Elizabeth just smiles. Elizabeth, not Liz or Beth, but Elizabeth, is one of a kind. She is 5'2" and a force to be reckoned with, and everybody underestimates her. She has long chestnut hair and piercing blue eyes. She looks amazing in everything she wears, from her normal uniform of tight jeans to a ball gown, should we need it for cover. She always looks bad ass. She is fit and ready to go at all times. She doesn't trust anyone easily. But Carson and I have cracked her hard shell. She is fun and bubbly, and sometimes even a little crazy. She is not afraid of anything and is open to everything. She loves music, all kinds… From MC Hammer and his one hit, to Mariah Carey, Faith Hill, Dream, Diz and the Ying Yang Twins. She even plans play lists for some of our missions. Carson and I are very protective of Elizabeth even though she really doesn't need it…
Carson is very smart. He is strategic smart. We have never found a flaw in any of his ops, neither has any one else, until now… But who could blame him for my dad showing up. Carson is 6'2", about two inches taller than me. But Carson is built you can tell he works out. He is ripped and girls love his looks. We both share being the brains and the brawn of the group. In fact we all share that. We share every thing. How we became an inseparable team, I really don't remember. I remember being paired up in freshman defensive class when Carson tried to take me down. But he couldn't and I tried my hardest but couldn't bring him down either. We were the only two in the class who were equally matched. Elizabeth took both of us down easily while singing "Another One Bites the Dust". Ever since that day, we have always been the perfect team.
"Did you call it in", I questioned, even know I knew the answer.
"Yup", replied Carson, "Told Solomon we couldn't get flight out tonight and we would be back tomorrow afternoon."
"And he believed you??" Elizabeth smirked.
Probably not, replied Carson with a nonchalant shrug.
Yeah, well we will deal with all that later, let's go see what havoc we can cause in New York , I howled!
Carson gave a cat call and Elizabeth laughed. I put my arm and Elizabeth and led my team to the plane.
As far as the whole world (or just our school) was concerned, Elizabeth and I were just friends. But truthfully we were in love. Or as love as you can be in at 17… Most people just assumed we were a great team. This situation never bothered Carson. He was a ladies man, if you looked in the dictionary for the word "Player" there would be my boy Carson. It was never a challenge for him to get a girl. They were always around him and he could take his pick even if it was only for one night. Elizabeth and I never bothered Carson. We didn't act differently around him and he was the only one who knew our situation. We never let on in public especially since inter-team dating was strictly forbidden. And since almost everything in our life was secret why shouldn't our love life be the same?
But we are good little soldiers, good little soldiers who need a break every once in a while. Since we were never allowed one at school, this little trip to New York was the perfect opportunity. Our 6 hour flight from Orly airport to La Guardia was mostly uneventful. There was a slight disagreement with a very smiley flight attendant who seemed to think Elizabeth and I spent far to much time in the bathroom. She even yelled with a smile. This gave Carson a great laugh. We landed in New York just as the sun was going down.
"Thank you, Bye Bye Now!!" smiled the sarcastic flight attendant as she showed us the door.
"No, thank you", smiled Carson coolly to Ms. Plastic Wings and Smile.
Carson's talent with women of any ages always amazes me. This older woman blushed to a deep crimson red and giggled like a school girl.
We left the airport to find a cab. Mission objective was to get to mid town Manhattan and have some fun! The first cab we found was driven by a large southern black woman with big curly hair, a very thick accent and bright green eyes.
"Where ya going my babies?" she asked.
"94th and 2nd please" sang Elizabeth.
"Where your momma's and daddies, babies" the cabbie asked "y'all shouldn't be running round dis big city by yourselves."
"School trip," Carson said smoothly, "just stepping out to get a slice… Don't tell please?" He said with a grin.
Elizabeth started hymning "Born to be wild"
"Ok babies, I will take you all, but you be careful out there. And if you need anything, just call this number and ask for Big Momma"
"Yes Ma'am", we all said in unison hiding our big grins in the dark of the cab.
The cab stopped at the corner, we paid and said thank you. Carson repeated his charm and she drove away looking at us in the rear view until she disappeared from sight.
"Yummy pretzels" sang Elizabeth as she skipped ahead to the nearest cart on the corner. Carson and I just laughed. For such a bad ass, the mere smell of food can so easily distract her.
All right that's all I'm giving you right now, please review. The next chapter will be up soon. Please please review!! Oh and any comments or suggestions are appreciated.
