To answer some questions, Amy lost contact with Dan to keep him and Andy safe, since the people who worked with Isabel were after them. No one knows about Andy except Dan. I'm not sure if the other clue hunters will be in this, but Dan, Natalie, Ian, Isabel and Hamilton will. I'm still thinking about Nellie…
I think that soon, the action will start. You know what'll happen, Isabel's going to find out about Andy, and Amy will have to keep him safe. I can't reveal too much, sorry :)
I met Minnie at our usual spot by the school doors. I looked around to see if those creepy men were there. Fortunately, they weren't.
"Hey, Mins." I said, giving her a smile.
"Andy," She said. "Any girls today?" I knew she was trying hard not to laugh at me right now.
"Nope," I said. "No girls to chase me. It's going to be a good day."
We talked about the usual stuff—school, T.V., the newest video games. Some boys thought it was weird to have a best friend that was a girl, but I'd known Minnie for nearly my entire life. She was the best friend I could ever have.
Minnie had raven hair, like mine. She was dark skinned, like me. Her eyes were a coffee brown colour, unlike me. Sometimes, we could pass for siblings, or even cousins. Minnie was a tom-boy who wore baggy clothes. She can pass for an Indian, although she isn't.
Minnie, like me, is an only child, raised by a single mom. Minnie looks a lot like her mom and even acts like her sometimes. About once a week, I go to Minnie's house, and Miss. Liz bakes us cookies. She wanted me to call her Liz, but I felt so uncomfortable that I started calling her MISS. Liz.
The bell rings. First period, Minnie has art, but I have gym. She heads to the art room, while I walk over to the gym.
Last year, Mr. Mills taught us, but now it's a much younger guy about my mom's age. "My name's Hamilton, but you have to call me Mr. Holt. That sucks." The gym teacher had said on the first day of school.
As he read out the names on the attendance, he paused for a long time on my name, "Cahill, Alexander?"
"Andy." I corrected. Then he stared at me for a long time too. He seemed…surprised.
"Well class, today we'll be playing football." Mr. Holt announced. His eyes still darted to me, total confusion on his face that got me confused.
My skill in football was a little over average. I was pretty good, since I'd spent nearly all my life running. Catching was no big deal.
I can't forget how surprised Mr. Holt was. "Dan and Amy. So much like them..." He'd whispered. "The eyes... But everything else is your dad."
"Dad?" I asked. I knew he was talking about the dad I'd never known and Uncle Dan, who I'd never seen only in pictures. My eyes... they were nearly hazel, mixed with my mom's green that I'd seen on Dan too, and brown flecks.
"I need to speak to your mother," He'd said. "An issue about her family."
This guy was freaking me out. I put off telling my mom. He made attempts to speak to me later, but I'd always managed to avoid them.
I finally did tell her—today. Two months after he'd spoken to me. I didn't tell her about the other men following me though.
"Andy," she said, her voice low and shaking. "Go into my room. You'll see a suitcase. Take it and pack your things. We're moving."
I know right! AMY, TALK TO HAMILTON! He has REALLY important news for her. Like REALLY. Sorry, I can't tell. What other clue hunters do you want in this? REVIEW and tell me!
