11. MEETING
"Hello girls, you must Jacquie and Tiger Lilly." A beautiful young lady was standing at the door of the Smith house, she had long, dark brown hair with brown eyes, "Tiger Lilly is a wonderful name, and your mother must have had good taste.
She made sure she didn't say 'your mother must have good taste' because she knew that all the kids who went to Cherub had no parents.
"Come right this way, we will have dinner a 6:30. We'll discuss everything there. Your bedrooms are up the stairs, to the right."
Jack and Lilly slowly made their way up the giant marble staircase. Half way up, the stairs parted and went different ways. These people were obviously rich.
Jack found her bedroom first; it was the closest to the stairs. Lilly's was the next door down. Jack was amazed at what was on the other side of the door. She found herself staring at the gigantic cream coloured bedroom. It was beautiful. There was a queen-sized bed in the middle, a T.V and stereo. She even had her own on-suite and walk-in wardrobe.
Jack and Lilly sat at a table in the large dining room. Anita and John were talking quietly between themselves. They were all waiting for Adam and Ben to arrive. The Anita stood up, the boys were on their way down stairs.
"Girls, meet Adam and Ben, they are fourteen."
"Boys, meet Jacquie and Tiger Lilly. Jacquie is your age and Lilly is thirteen."
Ben looked kind of cute, but was very uptight. Adam was kind, he was handsome and sensible.
Adam was staring at Tiger Lilly; he had never met anyone more beautiful in his whole life. He really liked her, but he knew as soon as their mission was over, he would never see her again.
Ben didn't like the girls. He was the son of Anita and John, not them. He didn't want them staying in his house.
John broke the silence, "We know why these girls are here, so let's get down to business. We have to start acting like a family, well at least an adopted one. You two girls have to make friends with Pear and Peach from next door. They are okay kids but Peach has been known to take drugs. And Pear is anorexic. Their mother is suspicious of everyone. That is why you're here, she'd never expect children as spies. Just be careful, she's know to 'eliminate' her enemy's. Don't get on her bad side."
"Thankyou so much for letting us stay in your house Mr Smith."
"Call me John, and I am most welcome to let you stay here. After all I was a Cherub agent myself. And if there's anything you need help with, just ask me."
