Nine: Mission Files
The team were on their way home from yet another scheme, this one involving a large device that blasted wigs on everything. It had been incredibly stupid, but also really far away. Nearly everyone was asleep, but Macy's eyes would not shut. She looked around the School Bus for something to do. One wall had a large cabinet filled with files. Case files. She asked the lunch lady if she could read them, got a positive answer, and grabbed the first file from the left on the top shelf. She was absolutely hooked within seconds. When the bleary-eyed NERDS stepped of the space jet, Macy nearly tripped walking down the stairs, still reading the case file and carrying four more. She read case files all the way from the very first team to the present-day one. Three-quarters through the shelf, she screamed at the file she was reading and snapped it shut. Then she ran over and showed Matilda the reason she had just nearly deafened everyone. Matilda flipped out.
"WHY IS THAT IN A CASE FILE?!?!?"
"I don't know. I didn't make it."
The other agents started asking questions. Ruby questioned first.
"When is this from?"
Macy hugged the file to her chest.
"From the time with that guy could upgrade himself."
Duncam went bright red as he realised why Matilda was freaking out.
"Please don't show that to anyone else."
"Fiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnne."
She went back to her files. The next day, on a different case file, she had the same reaction. So did her best friend. After Matilda had calmed down enough to blast the page with her inhaler, she made Macy promise to stop showing her the case files. She also made a mental note that she really had to find out how people were finding out what she was thinking. Soon.
Short chapter based on a random idea I had. I may have to review this myself on a guest account. Please give reviews to the poor.
