Chapter 8

Canto Kneed sat at home wondering what he could do to Miranda. He had a list of ideas in front of him. Thinking aloud he said, "I know Miranda isn't speaking to her parents, and I don't know where they live, so that won't work. What is the one thing she cares about? That is an easy question, Lizzie. I'll just have to change my plan for Lizzie, but it should be thrilling none the less."

"Larry what do you mean I'm the next victim!" "Miranda please don't shout. I'm not happy about this either, but your not the only one he's after. Before you ask I can't tell you who the other person is either." Before either of them could say another word, the phone rang.

"Get away from my daughter!" shouted Sam McGuire. Lizzie and Gordo broke apart. "Dad it's okay, he's one of the agents working on my case. He is only over here because I need protection, and so do the both of you. Right mom?" Sam turned around and looked at his wife, "You knew about him and didn't tell me!" "I forgot, but he's name is Gordo. Any one want breakfast?"

"Miranda you need to get ready for school, and I have to leave." said Larry as he combed his hair. "For your information I'm ready. I hope you have a good day at work. My ride's here." "Miran...wait!" Miranda was already out the door. Larry had no choice but to wait until Canto left, so he could leave.

"Guess what Miranda!" "What?" "Canto asked me out to the prom and I said yes!" Canto noticed Miranda didn't reply. He knew she was not happy about it, but she didn't know what was coming to her tomorrow night. He also noticed Gordo didn't say anything as well.

Larry took a short cut to the school. Once he was inside the Family Consumer Science room, he dialed the Sanchez's phone number, "Matt?" "Why did you hang up, when I called?" "Miranda was there. I know you're ready to come home, but the prom is tomorrow, and if everything goes well you can be home the same night." "How's my mom and dad doing?" "There good. They told me to tell you "hi." "Well I have to go your in-laws are coming."

Everyone was sitting at the lunch table with five minutes before the bell rang. Canto knew he had too ask this question as all the guy dates do, "What color should your corsage be?" "White," Turning to Miranda she asked, "Did you patch things up with your parents yet?" "No, so Gordo are you going to the prom tomorrow night." "Yea, her name is Kate Anders."

Lunch was over and everyone went to there own classes. Gordo and Lizzie went upstairs, while Miranda and Canto staid downstairs. Once in the Family Consumer Science room Larry began saying his orders.

"Lizzie I know you are new to this undercover thing, but we will be at the prom tomorrow night, we'll keep you protected. Kate I know Ethan is chaperoning, but you'll have to go with Gordo. I don't want to here it, so where this wig." She caught the brown wig and didn't say a word.

"Hey, Gordo we saw the little lip lock you and Lizzie where in before her father came in." Gordo turned to face the brown haired girl named Kira Sky, "Kira if it wasn't for the fact that I'm your fianc's, Jon's best man I'd get you for that."

"Stop you two, Larry would you like to know what we all found?" "Sure, Jon. You can go first." "Kira and I found out that are killer is getting very antsy about tomorrow night. Your turn Alex." "We know that the killer is not aware that we're here."

Larry paced around the room, messing with the knobs on the stove, and then he turned around and said, "If that's all we have then get back to your jobs." While everyone left, Larry stayed there pacing around worrying about Miranda, but in the back of his mind he knew that she could take care of herself.
