I DON'T OWN ANYTHING ALLY CARTER DOES
We all stared with open mouths. "Come on it isn't that hard, I'll show you." Joe said, gesturing for us to get on the helicopter. We recovered from shock, looked at each other and smiled from ear to ear. Everyone except Liz who was still in shock and the next thing we knew Liz's thin pale hand shot up in the air, even though we weren't in class (Liz always does this, it's just her habit) "Yes Miss Sutton." Came Joe's voice from the helicopter.
"Are you sure you're allowed to let us manoeuvre the helicopter?" Liz asked. Joe didn't answer but we heard him laugh loudly. This should be fun I thought. We ran up to the helicopter and jumped in. Bex yelled "Shotgun!" Oh dear.
"I guess Bex is taking us off." Joe smiled.
"Okay Bex just pull that handle and use this stick to guide us." I'd never been happier than when we were up in the air and Macey took over Bex's position at the front.
Throughout Bex's take-off:
The amount of times Liz went paler than a ghost: 12
The amount of times Liz had a death grip on the bag she was holding: 20
The amount of times Bex tipped the helicopter on its side: 16
The amount of times I felt like screaming: 6
The amount of times I actually screamed: 0.
When we was nearly there Joe turned to Liz and said "Your turn." I turned to face Liz; she was shaking and looked like she would faint "I'm only joking, you don't have to if you don't want to." Relief flooded through Liz; you could tell. Thank goodness Mr Solomon landed the helicopter; I don't think I could take Bex's landing. "Ladies welcome to Paris!" It was beautiful a little crowded but beautiful. I looked around, with my memory; I would remember this for a long time. Memory, a spy's best weapon. I continued looking around, then suddenly a girl, a little older than me, with short cropped brown hair and blue eyes and she was staring straight at me "Joe, Katarina, she's already here look." I said. They turned around but she had already disappeared.
We went into the library to sort everything out. Joe laid out the earpieces on the table "Put these in." Joe said. He laid out four other things on the table: A silver cross necklace, a golden watch, a pair of star shaped earrings and a purple bracelet. I figured the cross was mine because I'd already used it on a mission before but I also lost it on the same mission. "Cammie the necklace is yours, it is a video camera. Bex the bracelet is for you, it is also a video camera. Macey the earrings are for you, they record everything you say and Liz the watch is yours it takes pictures when you press the button on the side." We took our items and put them on. I looked at the clock; 16 minutes and 12 seconds left. "Are you ready?" Joe asked. We nodded simultaneously. We were ready.
Outside the wind had picked up but we were too busy to care about our hair. We were outside the Louvre with 12 minutes left. "Alright, girls there is only one chance to do this. Bex and Cammie you wait outside while Liz and Macey go inside first." Macey and Liz made their way up the stairs. "Oh and girls, good luck." Joe said and left us.
"You ready?" I asked Bex
"I was born ready!" She replied ecstatically. I laughed. We waited until Macey and Liz disappeared through the door and then we made our way up the stairs.
As I stepped Into the Musée du Louvre, static sounded in my comms unit and then Joe Solomon's voice "Cammie don't forget your mission and at all costs protect the Mona Lisa."
I looked at Bex and nodded. This was it, no going back now. We found the Mona Lisa painting. We waited for Katarina but no matter where we looked she was nowhere to be seen. We sat on a bench near the Mona Lisa. Five minutes turned into ten minutes and eventually Bex said "Where is she?" She was obviously growing very impatient and annoyed but I didn't have chance to answer her because the alarms started blaring.
CODE RED! CODE RED! CODE RED!
I mouthed hide to Bex and ran to hide myself. It took five minutes for everyone to evacuate. I emerged from my hiding place and saw Bex staring at the back of Katarina. I went and joined her and was startled when Kat turned around and said "Hello Cammie and Bex it's so nice to finally meet you. I've heard so much about you." Her blue eyes staring and a smirk on her face.
What do you think of this one?
