Chapter 2: The Next Day

The next day, no one ever knew what went on except me and Adam. Shalimar asked me about it, of course,

but I told her that I would tell her later, maybe. I wouldn't tell her before it happened, although I might

afterwards. Jesse and Emma knew nothing about it, and I'm glad because I didn't want Emma to find out, I

knew she could, and I didn't want Jesse bugging me to tell him. Me and Adam still had to work out the

details, but I was all still up for it. It was all I used to do so I was very confident about it. I kind of couldn't

wait 'cause I somewhat missed doing jobs like this, but I wouldn't tell Adam, I know how he would react.

Jesse was complaining nonstop about fixing the Helix, so I said, "Jesse! We're not even on a mission! Why

would we even need it right now?!" He thought for a sec and said, "Oh. Yeah, well I just wanna get it up

soon." There was only one difference between this job, and my past few. This one was because the money

was needed, all the other ones I did for fun. Also, I was all alone on this one. Most others I had partners for.

"Adam, I know we're not supposed to bug you about getting money," Shal started, "but we really need

some food in this place." I looked at Adam, he looked at me then quickly to Shalimar and replied, "I know,

Shal, it's just that I haven't been to the bank in a while and I'm really busy so I just can't." She looked at

him discussed and started to walk away as I said, "Well, Adam. You know I could always make a withdraw

for you." I smiled at him as both of us realized how we would be able to accomplish the task without telling

the others. "Sure, Brennan." He said while forcing himself not to laugh. "But you don't have to go today, we

don't need money that bad." "Yeah, ok. Tomorrow then?" I asked getting very excited. "When ever is

convenient for you." I nodded my head and turned to Shal. She let out a smile and started to walk away,

when Emma and Jesse entered the room. Just then Jesse said, "Hey Adam, what would happen if we ran out

of money in the bank?" Adam chuckled and said, "We never could Jesse. We may not get government

funding, but we get funding. It can never fail." I couldn't help but smile at the amazing lie Adam was

thinking up. "So, in other words," Jes started, "your friends with a rich person that supports you, I mean

us?" I laughed along with everyone else and Adam just nodded his head. Everyone slowly left the room and

as Shalimar was the last to leave, I watched her go to her room, then set off towards mine to start planning.
