Spy Time

Tiffany slipped on her plastic black pants and she was ready to go. She pushed the red button, and listened to her mission. To get the chip on an island off of Cuba.

Tiffany rolled onto her side. "Ughhhhh." She was very groggy. What had happened last night? Oh…right!

It had started out being a fun night. She had gone to her friend's birthday party, but had had to leave early because of something that had happened to her brother.

HER BROTHER! Was he still in the hospital? Was he alive? Was he ok?

Tiffany quickly made herself get out of bed and get dressed. Then she ran down the stairs and quickly checked outside to see if two cars were parked in the driveway. Sure enough there was only one. "Mom! Dad! Is anyone home," she called out. "Mom? Dad?" This time a little louder.

Maybe they had only taken one car… together. That was very unlikely, since her parents were in the middle of getting a divorce.

"MOMMMMM!" The house felt so quiet, and eerie. As tiffany climbed up the few stairs to the kitchen all she could think about was her brother. What if he was dying? What if he had died!?

One minute it had been fine, everyone was eating cookie cake, and chatting among themselves, the next Tiffany's parents had barged in and taken Tiffany away.

Tiffany tried to ask them what was wrong. But all she got out of them that her brother had been badly hurt.

At first she hadn't been able to sleep. She had tossed and turned, and couldn't imagine what was happening. Her parents had said it would be better if she stayed home while they went to the hospital. Her mom said that one of them would be back by the time she woke up… but from the silence, it seemed that Tiffany was the only one home…

Then she heard the door close and realized that mom or dad had just gotten home.

"Hello?" Tiffany asked, wonder which parent had come back for her. At first no one answered, but then Tiffany heard an unfamiliar voice. A voice that at first didn't seem possible to exist. She hadn't heard that voice since he had been banished from the village.

"Tiffany?" He called? "I back!"
