That night we all sat in our room planning again, and with all 6 of us in the room it was kinda getting cramped. Not that I didn't mind, I mean I was sitting close to Zach. I sighed and put the papers I was holding down in the middle of our circle and rested my head on my hand. We only had Zach's account of what he does, and even if we do follow that who says that he won't wear a disguise.
"Guys," I finally said. They all stopped looking at the things in their hands and looked at me. "I think we should try and convince my mum to let us help her. We aren't going to find anything like this. And she can always ask for a meeting with him again. She does that and we tail again."
"She's right." Mr Solomon said after looking at me. "I like how you guys are trying to do things on your own but sometimes even the grown-ups need help." Macey, Liz and Bex seemed to sigh in unison. Bex was the first one to stand up.
"Alright, this is the one and only time that I will agree with you and go ask for help. The one and ONLY time…" I smiled at her as she walked out the room, everyone followed suit.
I was about to walk out the door when Zach grasped my arm turned me toward him.
"I want you to be careful, Gallagher girl. I don't want you to get hurt." I smiled slightly and looked into his eyes.
"And I want you to be careful too." He smirked and winked like he usually does and started to walk through the door.
"Zach," I called after him. He stopped and turned. "Winter is almost over, will you stay? You know, after winter?" I didn't get a replay, he just smirked again and turned and walked away leaving me alone. I sighed quietly and followed the others toward my mother's office.
This is going to be a long day; I mean first we have to convince my mother to let us help. (With Jo Solomon there I think it will be a little easier.) Then we have to wait for her to call him and arrange another meeting. (And the next part if only he agrees to it, if not we have to think of another plan) Then there is the waiting. Man I hate waiting.
