4. The Perfect Recruit
As the day wore on, Hilly became more and more certain what a brilliant agent Heather would make; she was very sporty, extremely bright, she didn't give in to the constant teasing about being an orphan, and she was very easy to get on with.
After the two girls got back to the care home Hilly made the decision to call campus. She excused herself to the bathroom, locked the door and sat down.
"Meryl," she spoke softly into the phone, "It's me Hilly."
"Hilly!" came Meryl's voice back down the line, "How's it going?"
"Brilliant, I've made a friend called Heather-"
"Heather Jones?" asked Meryl. "We've already got her down as a potential recruit!
That's why we chose to place you in this particular home."
"That's her!" squealed Hilly excitedly. "She really sporty, and intelligent and so easy to get on with!"
"I'll come down to pick her up, and if she joins you could be back on Campus in a
few days!"
"Yay! I hate this place….."
"I'll be down at four to pick her up, try not to let her go anywhere!"
"Shouldn't be a problem, Meryl, she's just along the corridor doing her homework! See you soon, bye!"
"Bye Hilly!-" And the line went dead.
