The Sneaky Cat Inn
"Umm, guys?" Kat asked suddenly. "Yes, Rachel?" "Is that Cousin Paul?" Kat said pointing at a strange figure walking towards them. Suze squinted at him and said tentatively, "Paul?" The figure looked up and smiled. "Hey guys." "Paul!" Don yelled and run to hug him. "We were so sca-" "Don't say anything more, I'm bugged." Paul uncovered his brother's mouth. "Come with me, I have some info you might want." Paul brought them to a back door and then stopped. "Whatever you do, don't flip out, okay?" "Why would we want to flip out?" Scott asked, frowning. "There's some unsavory character out there, isn't there?" Suze asked. "Just don't flip."
As soon as they stepped outside, they were surrounded. Scott froze, and then proceeded to try and control his temper. "Care to explain?" He hissed. Paul looked at him and said, "Shut up and follow." He walked toward a white van and the agents created a path for him. "If any of you extras hassle these guys, I'll use you for a practice dummy at the arena, got it?" Paul looked each of them in the eye, until one of them said, "Very well Agent Slater." "Good." Paul started walking again. When they arrived at the van, the doors swung open and Paul told them to get in. "Where are we going?" Suze asked. Paul ignored her and told the driver, "You know where to go." Paul, I asked you a question." Suze said, hoping against hope that Paul just hadn't heard her. Paul turned his head and looked out the window. "Only three days till school and the awaited meeting. How wonderful."
