Chapter 6:
Canto Kneed knocked on the McGuire door. Larry, Jo, and Lizzie all turned around. "I'll get it." said Lizzie as she turned around and headed for the door.
She opened the door and smiled, "Hi, Canto. What are you doing here?" "I just. I wanted to know if you would go to prom with me?" "Well?" he asked impatiently. "I have to think about it. I have a family emergency that just happened, so bye." and then she shut the door in his face.
He walked away with his head down. Knowing that she would look out the window, and once he turned the corner he started to laugh. "It looks like she got my message. Now my plan will be set in motion." he said as he walked home.
"Mrs. McGuire, can I use your phone?" asked Larry. "Yes. Call me Jo." Larry walked over to the phone and called Miranda. "Miranda, I need you to give the phone to Gordo." said Larry. "Hold on." came Miranda's reply. In the background, you could hear the phone being switched over. "Larry, what's up?" asked Gordo. "He just left a message on Lizzie's machine," he looked over at Lizzie knowing that she was watching him. "I'll tell you the rest later." then he put the phone back on its cradle.
As soon as Larry put the phone down the phone started to ring. Larry looked at Lizzie and said, "Come get the phone and hit record, as soon as you pick it up." She did as she was told, "Hello?" asked Lizzie. "Here's another message. You are going to tell your best friend. I believe her name is Miranda. You are going to tell her that she's next on my list as well. I change my mind she's already on it." Before Lizzie could ask any questions, the line went dead.
She looked at Larry with Tears in her eyes, and then said, "He said Miranda is now on his list. You have to go to her. I can't loose my best friend." "Lizzie, I know you you're not going to want to do this, but I need you to come back to my house. As soon as I put back on my disguise," then he turns to Jo. "Jo, I need you to set up your guest room, and when Lizzie gets back I will have my agent tell you why he's here."
Larry put back on his disguise, and then they both walked out the door. Once they were at his house, he walked over to Gordo. "Gordo, you are going to stay with Lizzie and watch over her, also that's what I want you to tell her parents; when you get to her house." He walks over to where Miranda and Kate are talking in the living room. "I think she already knows by know." replied Miranda. "You are a victim now, Miranda." said Larry. "Larry, what do you want me to do?" asked Kate. "Right now, go back to head corridors, and get the surveillance team, and then make sure that they are at Gordo's as soon as Gordo and Lizzie walk up her steps, and tell them they are to dress like movers." said Larry.
"Gordo, Lizzie you two should get going." said Larry. As Lizzie and Gordo where walking out the door Gordo turned around and said, "Larry, just to let you know Lizzie is an outside agent now." then he quickly shut the door.
"Johnson, Snake, Night, and Sky, You four get dressed in mover's clothing, and be at David's house in ten minutes." ordered Kate. They all came out in jeans and grey shirts with the logo printed on the front "Will help you move, for a fee. Call 555-0125" "What do you think?" asked a girl with dark brown hair. "They'll work, Isabella Night." replied Kate. Everyone left to do there jobs.
The surveillance team drove through the silent streets very fast, but safely as well. "There's David." said Isabella. They got out of the moving fan, and walked towards David's house.
"I'll be back in a minute Lizzie." said Gordo as he ran across the yard to his house. "Are you the mover's I called for?" asked Gordo. "Yes." replied a man with blonde hair. Gordo let them all in the house, and then shut the door. He turned to the blonde-haired person who had replied to him, "Alex Johnson, I need you to put your surveillance equipment in the empty moving van that you have right now, and then I need,"
He looked around him he looked at a tall man with salt and pepper hair and said, "Jon Snake I need you to be my electrician along with you Kira Sky." said Gordo. "What about me?" asked Isabella. "Isabella, you will be helping Alex. Now if you will excuse me I have my own job to do." He let the team out, then went back to the McGuire's house and knocked on the door. "Come in." said Lizzie. Once safely in the house she asked, "Is everything ready?" "It will be, so where's the guest room?" asked Gordo.
Kate walked into her house to find the place a mess, so she called out, "Ethan, are you here?" She heard a faint tapping noise coming form the kitchen. She pulled out her gun and quietly walked into the kitchen. She saw her husband lying on the kitchen floor. "Ethan what happened?" "I couldn't see the person's face, but he tied me up in the chair and once I just now got free." said Ethan. "Can you walk?" He got up and started to move around a bit but he sat back down. "My legs are asleep." "I'll be right back," said Kate. She checked the house as best she could. Nothing seemed to be missing. She went back to the kitchen. "The thief didn't get anything, but I wonder what the thief was looking for?"
