Chapter 3: Hacking
Still one week ago.
"Hey guys." I say as I sit at our breakfast table.
"Meg, what are you hiding?" asks Sam, her deep chocolate eyes looking me up and down.
"Why would you think I'm hiding something? Especially from my best friends?" I say in a way that makes it clear I'm hiding something.
"You've got that look in your eyes and tone of voice right now." states Madi.
"Fine. But not here."
They look at me and nod in understanding. I know that if I don't tell them soon, they'll torture it out of me. (Even though we haven't learned the art of torture yet, Sam and Madi can get REALLY scary with makeup and random items in the room.) They also know that here isn't the best place because of
"Meggy!" Cecelia Walters.
"Hey CeCe. What's up?" I asked turning around. She takes after her mom as much as I do.
"Word is, your mom and dad are planning an awesome Cove Ops mission for today….." she looks at me like Madi studies a book. "Any knowledge?"
The new Gallagher curriculum let's freshman have Cove Ops.
"Sorry Cecelia. I'm dry for juicy Cove Ops gossip."
She frowns and walks away.
I turned around, and smiled at my friends. My parents were planning a cool Cove Ops mission for today. They knew that too.
We finished eating, then left early to go talk about what I had found out.
….
When we had reached the room and everyone was inside, Sam blocked the door with our dresser, we turned on the radio, headed into the bathroom, closed that door, put a towel under it, ran the water, and the fan, then sat down to talk in whispers.
"So, when I raced out the door from Madi…" I told them the story of how I was in the passage and I heard my grandma and grandpa talking. They looked at me, interrupting a few times with questions, but mostly they stayed quiet.
"Then I came to breakfast." I finished.
"We have to hack into their database and see whose coming! Maybe even hack into Gallagher to see when!" exclaims Sam.
"Alexa, can you get on that?" I looked over at her little blonde head, but judging from the way the sound of typing answered me, I figured she was already on it. In just a little while, we'd have all the info we needed.
