Title: Safe in Your Arms

Author: Winter Blaze

Chapter one:

David "Gordo" Gordon sat at his desk looking at his papers. He could not believe he was finally getting to be able to go undercover. He needed to concentrate on his files on each student at Hillridge High, but one file in particular has caught his attention. Elizabeth Brooke McGuire, age 17. He could not stop starring at her picture. Someone knocked on his closed office door. "Come in." He put the picture down and saw that his boss, Larry Tudgeman had walked into his office.
"I'll see you tonight, Ethan." Kate Sanders-Craft just got off the phone with her husband who works at Hillridge High, as an art teacher. She knew that with the case she is working on, she had to be careful going undercover at that school, or her husband could blow her cover without realizing what he had done. She walked out of her office, and hurried over to her partner's office. She walked into his office, hoping that she was not late for the meeting, but when she saw Larry, she knew she was in trouble.
"Miranda are you ever going to talk to your parents?" asked Lizzie from the back of the car. "Lizzie I understand your concern, but what happened between me and my parent's is something I'll have to patch up by myself." Lizzie knew this was code for we will talk later. Lizzie could not figure out why Miranda does not care for Canto. "You're right Miranda I shouldn't worry, so much." "Canto, thanks for waking me up this morning, but next time, go through the front door." "Canto, what are you a teen pervert?" asked Miranda. "I am, and other things as well," he looked at the girls faces. "I'm just joking." He pulled into the parking lot and parked his car. "I'll see you guys during lunch." He walked away from them with his head bowed going towards the art room. "David you are going undercover as a student at Hillridge High, Kate you are also going under cover at that school, but as a janitor." "Mr. Tudgeman, you have to resign me to another role because my husband works there." "Sanders, nobody pays attention to the janitor's, so you will be safe." Why does that bitch not have to like me? Maybe she will die first after I study her and Lizzie first. "Mr. Kneed." said Ethan craft breaking through Canto's thoughts. "What?" "Clean your supplies because you only have five minutes until the bell rings." Canto looked at the clock and couldn't believe it was already 9:10am. He cleaned his supplies and waited by the door for the bell to dismiss everyone. Once the bell had dismissed everyone, he went to the restroom and waited until he knew the halls would be empty. He did not care if he was late to English; he had some stalking to do. He went to Mr. Diggs English class, but only watched from the open glass window, which is made through the door, he looked to see if Miranda was in there. Once he didn't see her he left and went to search for her. As he was walking back by the restroom's he heard someone say, "I told you not to call me." It sounded like Miranda's voice so he went to investigate. He leaned closer towards the door. "You know why I'm not talking to my parent's anymore. You are part of the reason, and I can blame myself as well. I should not have been seeing you in the first place, since you are practically old enough to be a brother an older brother if I had one, but that is not the point. It's not like you come around to see me anyways." ranted Miranda. "You know I'm working on a case and I'll be seeing you sooner than you think. I will send a note for you at 2:30pm for you to talk with your counselor. I want you to know that I do love you." said the voice on the other end. "I know you do. I have to go, but I'll see you then. Bye."

Canto hurried out into the other corridor by turning quickly to his left and bumped into a boy with curly brown hair and blue eyes. Miranda walked out of the bathroom, to wrapped up in her own life to have notice Canto's body half way sticking out of the other corridor. If only she had looked to her right. She might have been more distrusting of him.
