The rest of the week was rather tedious. Settling in to Baker Street. Questioned by Lestrade. It was Friday, the weekend loomed ahead. There were, so far, no cases to look forward to, so both me and dad will be spending most of the weekend being bored. Ah the thought of being bored! It detests me! I have to be doing something, thinking about something. Today we had mock exams. They were so boring. The History and Geography exams were meant to be one hour and fourty five minutes long, and I finished in half an hour. Can you imagine what hell it was for me! I was sitting there, in silence, for far too long. My friend, well I say friend, came up to me after it and said, "You looked bored out of your mind!" how right she was. In the last lesson, an old dotty teacher walked through the classroom door, "Um is Kate Holmes in here? She has a message from someone." She hobbled over to me and gave me the note.

Dear Kate,

I will be collecting you after school today.

Important matters to be discussed.

Black Mercedes outside the school at the end of the day.

I screwed up the note and threw it in the bin. If he though I was discussing anything he had another thing coming. When last lesson eventually finished, I walked to my locker and got out my keys. As I get my keys out of my bag, a muscly arm leaned on the side of my locker. I assume it is one of the dickheads trying to impress me. I sneak a glance at him, and I was shocked by what I saw. A brown haired boy my age who resembles a Greek god, grinned at me. I huff, "can I help you," I finally get my keys out and opened my locker. "Hi, I'm George, I'm new here," He looks at me expectantly.

"Congratulations," I say, grabbing my skateboard and turning to skate down the corridor. As I glide away, he shouts, "Hey, what's your name?!" Will this person give up? "Unimportant!" I yell back at him, pulling on my beanie and skating out of the school gates. I see the black car, I ignore it. I head back to Baker Street. I plug my earphone in and listen while I skate. As I skate away, I fail to notice the sleek black Mercedes following me. As I stop to cross a busy road, the black car rolls in front of me and the door opens. I cant avoid this can I.

I pick up my board and slide into the soft leather seats.

"How nice to see you Kate," uncle says as I get in.

"Hello," I answer flatly, "can you make this quick, I'm cooking tonight." He rolls his eyes.

"I'm sure you father can survive for an extra five minutes without you company. "I roll my eyes, "I doubt that, why am I here?" I stare him in the eye, waiting for the answer. He chuckles quietly to himself before saying, "Its amusing how you and your father are so alike, so aggressive. I wonder. Me and your father are beyond being friends. I wonder, maybe one day we could be friends. Who knows?" he looks at me, I roll my eyes again, not liking the eye contact.

"Again I ask, why am I here?"

Uncle leans forward, his face turns serious and talks in a hushed voice.

"I'll cut to the chase, MI6 start employing people from a young age, 17 or 18. They are looking for people with skills such as your own. However, in order to apply you need an education in advanced weaponry, which as you know isn't offered to just anyone. If you desire a position in MI6, I am happy to help you get there. I do want the best for my niece." He smiles.

This is so cool! MI6! I think about it for a moment when I start to see the downsides, like being put in life threatening situations.

"Do I have to answer you now?" Uncle leans back and smiles slightly.

"No, you have until next week."

Why was he doing this, this is the first proper conversation we have ever had, and a very serious conversation at that.

"Well, this has been very interesting. See you soon uncle," I say as I climb out of the car, which happened to be outside Baker Street. I notice dad looking through the blinds at me, climbing out of the posh car.

As soon as I step into the living room dad calls mockingly to me, "How is my dear brother?"

"Annoying," I answer bluntly, as I take off my coat and hang it on the back of the door. I expected dad to laugh or agree, but he didn't approve of my lack of seriousness on the matter.

"No time for jokes Kate, what did your uncle want? For you to spy on me?" he walks over and glare intensely at me. I sigh before telling.

"He was telling me about MI6, about how ,if I want to choose that path, I need an education in advanced weaponry. He said he will financially take care of everything, if that's what I want," I sigh. There is an awkward silence for a few seconds before he breaks the silence.

"Are you considering? How long do you have?"

"I have a week to decide if that's what I want, but I'm not sure what I want." I sit in his comfy chair, which I know annoys him but I do it anyway.

"Ok" he adds before hastily changing the subjects, "Can you get your own food tonight?"

I laugh at him, "I do every night anyway! I will in a bit, I'm not hungry right now. Do you want anything?"

He considers, "What day is it?"

"Friday."

"No, I'm ok for a bit." Typical behaviour for a Friday night.

I draw up my knees to my chest and sit in a foetal position. Within minutes, I begin to get restless. I wriggle around and move chairs. I go into my head and block everything out.

"Kate?" dad calls. I ignore him.

"Kate!"

"What!" I snap and look at him. He has a hurt look on his face. "Sorry, yes?"

"You seem a bit on edge, are you okay?"

"Yeah…yeah, 'm fine," I trail off and stare into the distance. I see him out of the corner of my eye, he just shrugs and returns to his palace.

Nothing of importance happens that night, and I go to bed with my head full of unanswered questions. I hear dad playing his violin at midnight. Normally I would be angry at him for interrupting my sleep, but he played a lullaby he played to me when I was a child. Its sweet melody hooked my brain and lulled me back to sleep.
