S is for Spy: Playing Dead
They said we should take advantage of every opportunity.
We were all dead now so I knew there were no opportunities. If I wasn't dead I would have said so and Sir would have told me I was wrong. Sir saw lots of opportunities. He always did.
Sir put us in 'teams'. But it wasn't boys against girls or anything. He said me and C2 and C24 were together since we liked each other so much. C18 was there too but I don't like him much. Since we had to be a group Sir said the rules for being dead changed. We didn't have to pretend the others weren't there we just couldn't talk.
This was a mission so we had an objective. That was the thing you had to do for the mission to be 'a success'. When Sir taught us objectives he said it was like baseball, the objective of baseball is to win. I told him my daddy said the objective was to have fun. Sir said something about my daddy and a baseball bat. I think it was mean but he used big words so I don't know.
Our objective was to safely transfer new-clear material without entering the danger zone. The new-clear material looked a lot like water to me but it must have been special water because Sir said 'new-clear material' could kill you. But if you put it in a bucket and surrounded the bucket with orange traffic cones you'd be okay.
Sir gave us a black ring with a bunch of ropes tied to it and said we had to use it to get the new-clear material into the 'safe bucket'. It looked just like the first bucket. I wanted to ask how the first bucket with the new-clear material got in the danger zone if no one could go inside but I was dead so I couldn't.
C18 was holding the ropes and ring. We needed to make a plan to do the objective but we couldn't talk. C18 started flapping his hands all around. He was trying to say something. I had no idea what it was though. His face scrunched up and got redder. He was mad. Almost as mad as Sir in the shooting lanes. C18 threw the ropes on the ground.
C24 picked them up and turned them over. He got a little wrinkle between his eyebrows and kept messing up his hair. He was thinking. Then he crouched down and started making hand motions like the scary men with the white faces mommy calls Minds. He made a circle shape. Bucket. Then he started digging the ring down under the leaves where his pretend bucket had been. He wanted to get the ring under the bucket and pick it up.
C2 waved her arms like an umpire does when you're safe only I think she meant 'no good'. She made her own pretend bucket and dug the ring under it them spilled her bucket. She swirled her hands to show the pretend new-clear waste spreading out when it touched her foot she made a face like a dead fish. Me and C24 laughed then we both covered each other's mouths since we were dead and couldn't make any sounds.
Then I remembered that I didn't like C24 and took my hand away and wiped it on C2. She didn't seem to notice. When that girl started thinking about something lightning could strike and she wouldn't notice. Well not really but yesterday a bee stung her on the way to the river and she didn't notice until later so I think that counts.
I tried to take the ring from her so I could help. She didn't like that idea and pulled on it. I pulled back.
And the ring stretched...
Well maybe C2 did notice when lightening struck because we had the same idea right at the same second and we both knew it. She made a pretend bucket and we stretched the ring over it. From there we all just got in a circle each with two ropes. It was so easy to stretch the ring over the real new-clear material buck.
Uh-oh.
We could pick up the bucket just fine but then we had to pour it. C24 came to the rescue. He got a big smile on his face and waved in C2's direction. She screwed her eyebrows up. Confused. Then her eyes bulged as C24's ropes came flying at her. She caught them though. C24 ran around the circle and pulled his ropes. The bucket tipped.
Every drop of that new-clear material got into the safe bucket. Sir even said 'good job' for the first time ever. C2 high-fived all of us and double high-fived me. Sir was right for once. We really were a good team.
So good that he wanted to talk to me special...
