Chapter 4 Disguises

Previously: Then I remember this is Covert Heist and Mr. Rooney was absent for yesterdays arrival dinner so anything could happen… my thoughts are cut off when..

Mia's POV
I couldn't believe it how could it be him Mrs. Malaney would never allow it and it's while I'm thinking this I notice the flaw in the façade his eyelashes are too thick and full to be…. Mr. Rooney! Their an imposter and they have somehow managed to slip through the THOUGHT to be flawless security that surrounds Gersy so I decide to test just how good they are.
"Excuse me Sir but why did Mrs. Malaney excuse you from the welcome back dinner last night?" I ask innocently like I have no ulterior motive, most of my classmates look confused and I wonder whether its due to my odd question or the fact that none of them noticed the absence. Then I realize it's not most it's all apart from Henry the new kid our eyes meeting for a fleeting second his showing just a flicker of amusement before changing back to a somber knowing look while this occurs the supposed Mr. Rooney who will now be referred to as mascot answered smoothly " I was off arranging details with Kat about the extraordinary opportunity that has arisen for all of you" it was as if the answer was already planned.
Which when I think about it, it probably had, it was such an obvious question! I was going to have to try a lot hard to crack this one such as, enlisting the help of my three besties to help along the way meaning I would yet again be the bearer of bad news as I told them of their lapse to notice. I can only hope they won't be too upset as evidently no one else had noticed, being too busy whispering excitedly at the new prospective opportunity of which I was becoming skeptic.

Time Skip

Covert Heist had been exactly as I would have expected if it really had been Mr. Rooney although at first the chosen subject confused my but the more I thought about it what better way for mascot to test the disguise than to teach a lesson on it. He/she described where best to find the flaws I slowly picked up a few more cracks.
Cracks in Mascots disguise
1. Eyelashes are too full
wisdom teeth
prominent freckle on the right inside ankle
finger nails

Pro's and cons of having Mascot as a teacher
pro- actually a good teacher
Con- imposter potentially life threatening
Con-may hurt people I love
Pro- improve my investigating skills trying to find out who it really is and what their motives are
Con- shows that our security isn't flawless causing worry of other potential infiltrations
Pro- insight into enemy tactics… if we manage to uncover anything

Numerically speaking it doesn't seem that bad that Mascots here but in reality the con's out weigh the pros mammothly (I know it's not a word) in seriousness of this threat.

Henry's POV

As I saw the quadrant sprinting to class I questioned why I had been sent here for students of this caliber shouldn't look this frazzled and unorganized especially on the first day! I immediately thought them unworthy that is until the one called Mia seemed to notice the same flaws in "Mr. Rooney's" disguise as I did. This amused me but I quickly hid it while I caught her eye changing the cross beside her name to a question mark.
Mr. Rooney is one of the few teachers that I had actually seen face to face before coming to this school so I could actually see these differences that on many other teachers I would have no way of noticing, well no obvious way. Seeing that she was the only one to notice only stressed me more as to why I was here although I guess I did have a slight advantage on seeing the faults in the disguise seen as I knew it would be a disguised face all along. I made notes mentally one my "classmates" all lesson and was disappointed when not one other than Mia seemed to spot any flaws in the façade even though the lesson was magnificent and on the very topic of disguises! Oh well I better not ride them off too quickly maybe they'll excel in other areas that are essential for our chosen path's…
