Code Boy
Chapter One: Tailees
There were three things Sharpay would have never dreamed about.
1) Having a hot Cov. Ops teacher
2) Being Transferred to the West Wing of her beloved Boarding School
3) Having to go on a Cov. Ops mission in heels.
But guess what, she had all three. Just this morning, all her stuff; including all her other classmates stuff had been moved to the West Wing. Of course, Sharpay and the others didn't complain since, well, the West Wing was much more nicer but it was clearly suspicious on having to move.
But now, she was in the town of Albuquerque at the Albuquerque Mall of Museums having taken a fast helicopter ride with the rest of her sisterhood who took the same class she did, it was nearly impossible to think why her teacher, Mr. Von Jack, had told them to wear heels during this mission. But now, she'll never know since, Mr. Von Jack had disappeared, knowingly listening in on their com. units.
She looked to her right at Gabriella, her best friend and her first friend since she and Gabriella had entered the school of East Arlington in Grade Six. And now, at this time in their Junior year they were still best friends.
Sharpay watched as their uniforms blending in with all the other schools that had come for a field trip. Except for their lion badge on their vest, they blended in well. Same dark blue and green plaid mini, white oxford and dark blue vest. But with the heels, Sharpay and Gabriella were at least a foot taller then the rest.
Sharpay's brown eyes gazed down at the black pumps her teacher gave to each other girls, they never wore their school heels usually then changed into flats but somehow, Sharpay felt that they were related to either slowing them down on the mission or to help them.
Gabriella suddenly squealed, pulling onto Sharpay's arm. "Ehmahgawd, Sharpay! Look over there." She nudged her head softly to the right as she whispered viciously, her mouth barely moving.
As every good operative knows, when a person say, 'look' one must find a reflective surface and look. And that was just what Sharpay did, she sought out the mirror-ized glass next to them and looked into it.
"It's boys!" Leave it to Gabriella to petty about such a small infraction like boys.
But then, Sharpay thought back to what Mr. Von Jack said earlier while they were in the helicopter.
Von Jack surveyed the girls, watching if one flinched under his gaze, none did. "Okay, ladies. Here's the deal. Countersurveillance isn't something you find in a book, it is also not a theory. it's about that feeling in your stomach, those knots telling you when something isn't right. That small voice in your head saying the misleading and disbelieving truth."
The girls watched as the helicopter descended down to the mat. Everyone pilled out and got into an awaiting van with their school colors, red and white, on it and the East Arlington Lion on it.
Once inside, Von Jack continued his lecture, "Most of you proved that you know how and are pretty good at not being seen when you do not want to be. But today is not about being the tailers." He paused for effect and smiled wickedly, "It's about being the tailees."
Gabriella gasped as the rest of the girls in the van, which was an exact total of twelve, whispered and looked at each other. "Split up into six teams of two."
"If you thought being the tailer was harder," He looked at Sharpay. "Then of course, being the tailee is much harder." With that, he left the van as the vehicle stopped, closing the door behind him.
Sharpay blinked back the memory, willing it to the back of her head, but as a spy with a photographic memory…that was hard to do.
That meant, someone…anyone was following them and Sharpay could feel it. She turned briskly and scanned the area. There was a mother, wearing a suit, with a baby stroller, a police officer with a very itchy mustache, a man in a red had and green jacket, three boys sitting on the bench; all staring at her and Gabriella and a infamous socialite with her dog.
She grabbed onto Gabriella's wrist and tried to get caught with the group they were following to hide.
Gabriella looked back, completely forgetting the mission. She stepped back and let the group of girls go ahead of her before she sun around and smiled, "Oh, 'Pay. Aren't they so cah-ute!"
Sharpay rolled her eyes, as Gabriella looked back at one and waved flirtatiously. "I for one, so want one. Or maybe two."
"Let's go, Gabs."
Gabriella blinked as if the mission details were coming at her in a rapid rate. "oh, yeah. Let's go."
And with that they left.
. . . . .
Sharpay opened up the letter that she was given to by Mr. Von Jack once she had rounded up all her classmates. It was noon and everyone had taken a break which Von jack had suggested before eh left an envelope in Sharpay's hands.
There's no place like home.

Quoting Dorothy, Sharpay thought.
There was exactly 1,235 pairs of shoes just like Dorothy's in every state and it just so happened that they were going to have to find one. The one at one of the hundreds of Museums lined up next to each other.
Sharpay bit her lips, the spy in her knew that getting there tail-free for anyone in the group by five o'clock was going to take a lot of work and time, and it was going to be harder then clicking our heels and wishing for home.

1. I don't really know if there are1,235 pairs of Dorothy's shoes. That was a complete guess. But hey, I'm a writer writing fiction nothing is true. AHAA, so yes. The events played in here are kind-of based on a book so please do not tell me about it, MK?
2. Book; Cross My Heart and Hope To Spy. Pretty good book, go check it out.
3. This is replacing This is What We Are.
