---- BAU is the Bural Analysis Unit. I guess you wouldn't really get it if you don't watch Criminal Minds – sorry! But it's my favourite show and I just had to add it in. Anyway, I'm online (maybe you are too?) so here's the next chapter -----
"You are so lucky!" Kennedy gasps from the other end of the phone. I roll my eyes, although she can't see me. I seem to be doing that a lot lately – rolling my eyes, I mean. "Whatever Kennedy. He's a jerk, I'm telling you. I mean, he lied about his name. Who does that?" I ask in disgust. "Someone trying to win over a girl. And, obviously, it worked!" Kennedy's response makes me smile despite myself. "Nice comeback." I allow. "Thanks." Kennedy replies, not even a bit of pride in her voice.
I sigh and look down at my math sheet, "So, for number five you got?" I inquire. "Ni, I have Mr. Savae. You have Mrs. Buggler." Kennedy reminds me. Buggler Buggler Buggler. I run the name over in my mind. Thank god that I only got stuck with Lem. Wait a minute, I correct myself, She married into that name!
"Niomi? Are you still there?" Kennedy worries. "Yeah, sorry. Just thinking. Um…could you help me, please, Ken? You're a math wiz!" And she is. Seriously. I can never wrap my head around it – numbers. Ugh.
"I need to know the question before I can solve it." Kennedy says patiently. "Oh. Uh. Negative five times bracket three plus four bracket divided by six." If someone gave me that mouthful over the phone, I'd never be able to figure it out. But seconds later, Kennedy has the answer. "Come on, Ni. We've been doing BEDMAS since grade six and integers since grade seven. You should know this." She encourages.
I make a face, "Well I don't!" I laugh, "Thanks for the help, Ken." "No problem. But…it does come at a price." She giggles. "Oh?" I inquire. "Yeah. Figure out as much as you can about Max Kullun." She requests. I roll my eyes – Stop that! I yell internally – "Sure, Ken, sure." I say and hang up.
That's so not going to happen.
