"Excuse me?" Abby asked.
"Yes ma'am?" Replied the guard. "We're here to see Patricia Buckingham." I said.
"Psch, good luck. She's one busy lady! Visitors all the time!" He rolled his eyes.
"Okay Mister. Is that a yes or no!" Abby blurted impatiently.
I elbowed her hard in the side, she winced. Hehe!
"Well I need your names and some ID"
"Abbigail and Rachel Cameron and uhh here are our school IDs/library cards?" I handed him a folder.
"Go ahead. Visit classroom 24. By the way, why are two daughter of some pretty famous spies wandering about alone!" He chuckled.
"Oh is that why you let us in! Because my mom and dad are famous! How kind and thoughtful!" Abby snapped walking into the building.
"What's up her butt" he muttered.
"Knock, knock, knock"
Abby pounded on the door of classroom 24.
It was about 4pm and there were very few Gallagher girls wandering the halls.
"One minute please!" A voice yelled.
A woman in her late twenties I presume opened the door and peaked her head out.
"Oh, come in. You must be the Cameron ladies?" She asked. Giving us a quick up-and-down look.
"Yes that would be us" I smiled. Using my best etiquette.
"Why are you ladies here? I thought your Mom said she would train you to be agents from your house? Hmm" Professor Buckingham asked in a soft caring voice.
"Well, you see Ms. Buckingham. Our parents never returned from a mission and we found a letter explaining some complicated issues...and now were here?" Abby explained. "We never knew all this psychical activity was training to be a spy!"
A tear slid down the Professors cheek.
"Girls. I am so sorry, your mother was one of my best friends growing up. I-I w-wa-will talk to our headmistress and ask her permission of you ladies to study here, well unless you would rather be put into a foster home?"
"That would be lovely" I thanked.
With that she left the room in a slight jog.
"That went pretty well" Abby commented.
I had to agree.
My mind kept flashing back to that boy I saw staring at me when we were at school. Hmm, I wonder how things are going for him? He seemed nice.
Abby and I sat in awkward silence waiting for Ms. Buckingham to return.
