Hey I'm back! (: So... Chapter 1. Still short. Well, I'm going to post a lot of chapters, so you can read a lot of short chapters :P They get longer. Trust me.

DISCLAIMER:

Me: Lindsay! Do the disclaimer!

Lindsay: *deep sigh* I am trying to eat my Ruffles. Plus, I kinda gotta save the world. You do it.

Me: Lindsay Sapphire Jane Walker Wizard Cahill.

Lindsay: Meh. Fine. TooBusyBeingAnAwkoTaco – I like that user name btw – Does not own the 39 Clues or their characters. She only owns Lindsay – Me – and Emma. Who you are Going to meet soon. Bye.

Eric fell to the ground with a thump. The class screamed. I grabbed my backpack and jumped out the window.

I jumped from the second floor, so it didn't surprise me that I heard something snap when I landed. Pain shot through my ankle. Sprained, probably. Did I care? Not really. I've been shot before; this was nothing.

While I'm running, I'll take a minute to introduce myself. I am Lindsay Cahill. I am 13 years old. I used to live in Canada before a tragic accident occurred. My brother and I got a letter in the mail from Aunt Cora and she told us to come live with her. So we moved to the Janus stronghold in Hollywood. I was around 8 years old when that happened. My brother was six.

I go on a lot of missions, so I have to change my appearance many times. Fake passports and fake birth certificates were easy. The hard part? Trying to remember what name you were using at the moment.

Right now I was Liz Marsh. I usually use last names from TV shows because it makes it so much easier.

Right now I was on a very important mission. I had to go to a school in Ontario to observe somebody. Miss Slight, was her name. I had to spy on her to see if she was a Vesper. Yeah, right.

She has bright curly orange hair, and shes in her mid twenties. And she has the squeakiest voice you'll ever hear. Dana told me that she once busted a kids eardrum from her singing. Oh, and the kids call her Miss NoseBone because there is a huge bone sticking out of the bridge of her nose.

Vesper my ass.

I reached the bus station, with my ankle throbbing. Ugh.

I bought the $500 dollar ticket to Hollywood. Where did I get the money? That's a stupid question. I'm a Cahill. Connect the dots.

I sat down in the back seat. I opened up my backpack to double check everything was there.

Laptop. Check.

Cell phone. Check.

iPod. Check.

Vesper files. Check.

Cahill files. Check.

I pulled out my laptop. I need to send Cora — the leader of the Janus, and my aunt — an email.

Cora,

I had to abort mission. Poisoned some kid. Jennifer Slight is not a Vesper. The only evil thing about her is her singing voice. Coming back to the stronghold. See ya later.

- Lindsay

I sent the message and shut my laptop. I decided to get some sleep because I needed it, and because this was going to be a long drive.
