So, once again, I haven't had this edited yet. And I am still trying to finish getting my head around the plot at the moment.
I wasn't in the mood to be more rebellious, at least for the moment, so I pulled out my laptop and reversed the bug that melody and Patrick had placed on it so it showed that I was on Facebook or e-mail, while I actually hacked the CIA database.
One minute and thirteen seconds and I was in. if Liz were here, she would've been in after about twelve seconds, but I'm not the best at hacking.
I tried Alex first.
Alexandra Hart: 7 files found
The first file had all her details: birth certificate, school records, doctor and dental records, addresses, family tree, etc.
The next three were police reports mentioning her name. Apparently she had been involved in two gang fights and one store robbery.
The next three interested me, though. They were reports written by two CIA agents, whose names I recognised: Melody and Patrick Hall. They had evidence to suggest that the Hart family were involved in illegal and/or terrorist activities.
They had found traces of Alex at three crime scenes and had tapped her families' home phone, hearing what were obviously code words.
From the looks of these, I thought I now had a chance to help out my 'parents' with their mission.
Before I did anything, though, I looked up Jed.
Jed Wright: no files found.
That can't be right, I thought. I tried again, and then using his full name, Jedadiah Wright. Still nothing. Nada. Jed Wright did not exist.
I tried looking up his older brother, James, who was in Courtney's year.
James Wright: no files found.
Something was seriously wrong here. There is always a file on every person, except, evidently, James and Jed.
Just as I was about to search more, Courtney called me downstairs for dinner.
I walked downstairs and sat down at the table across from Courtney. As we began eating, Melody began speaking to me. 'Kia, Patrick and I have been talking, just now, and have come to an agreement. We think it would be for your benefit if we sent you to a different school.'
I whipped my head up and stared at her with my mouth open. 'Wha-! No! I want to stay here. I just got here.'
'We think Gallagher Academy for Exception al Young Women would help teach you skills that would suit your current behaviour and attitude.' Patrick disregarded my protests. I looked over at Courtney and saw that she was trying not to smile, but obviously felt like laughing out loud.
'Our daughter, Melanie, goes there. She's only a year younger than you, so you would see her around, and we would be happy to have you here during holidays and breaks. I know it's a long way away, but we think you're mature enough and intelligent enough to handle it. You do have to work hard there, though, especially as you would have to catch up with the rest of your year level.' I didn't pay much attention to what Patrick said after that, I was still trying to get my head around the fact they wanted to send me to Gallagher, back to my school. 'So, what do you say?' Patrick asked, after a few minutes of him speaking about how amazing Gallagher is, as if I don't already know!
'Uh…I don't know…' I stuttered as though I didn't have a clue what he was talking about.
'Ok, then. We'll book an interview tomorrow.' Melody smiled and continued eating her dinner.
I had lost my appetite, so I just stabbed at my plate, thinking about everything, especially Jed's absence of CIA files, and Gallagher.
Review please (:
I really appreciate the encouraging reviews I get from you all, especially when I don't think my chapter was too good. Anyway, can we make it to 40 reviews? I reckon we can! (:
