The awkward silence that came after the question was unbearable. It's a good thing Bex was the impatient type.
"Yes or No?" Bex asked.
She put so much venom in her words that it must've stung the Au Pair.
"Yes or No what?" Does she have amnesia?
"You know what I'm talking about." Bex said more calmly. "Oh. I'm not sure." The Au Pair said while putting her IPod on.
"Not sure? We practically know everything about you! What do you want? Do you want us to name all the countries you've been to and all the cars you have used? I assure you, We know everything." Grant moved over beside Bex and started patting her back. Telling her to calm down.
Then, Amy Cahill spoke, "What she means to say is that we can't trust anyone. Ever since we started the race, people have been trying to kill us. I've gotten used to staying with the people I trust. Plus, it's not everyday teenagers fall from hotel room ceilings claiming to be part of the CIA."
"Actually, were CIA spies in training." Liz corrected.
"Why us?" Dan Cahill asked. He looked so pale. Yet, he was squirming. It's either he was still in shock or he was having a BIG sugar rush. "As you know, your family branch extends to Napoleon, Steven Spielberg and many more. Your grandmother, Grace Cahill had a close friend who works for the CIA. She requested that the both of you be watched over. Besides, if the both of you…" Jonas stopped halfway.
Liz continued, "If something happens to the both of you, the press will attack nonstop and they, I assure you, will find out about your global trek. Not only will we be letting Grace down, we will also be publicly embarrassed. Imagine the mess it would create."
"Why did you only come now? Who is this friend working for the CIA? What makes you think the public will be interested?" Dan asked. He was exploding with questions and he wanted some answers. I am no stranger to that feeling. All the questions in my life will most probably never be answered. Fortunately for him, Liz just loved answering questions. "Only come now? The CIA has been keeping a close eye on both of you lately. We only came out today. Well, the friend's name is classified. CIA agents never reveal their real names. Therefore, you will be referring to me as bookworm." Bex pointed to herself, "Duchess." Macey followed, "Peacock." I followed after Macey, "Chameleon.
The Au Pair, Amy and Dan Cahill focused on the three boys. Grant spoke first, "Vulcan." Jonas followed, "Encyclopedia." Zach gave his famous smirk and said, "Shadow." Why am I not surprised?
