Previously in Home in the Shadows and Darkness: Truth be told, I have no idea why that memory rushed through my head at this chosen time. I was off in la-la land, when it came to me at the last possible second.

He's on to us.

I immediately knew why that old tactic came to me, and what I had to do.

I looked up just as he burst into the room, already ranting about what happened the night before… or a few hours before. Hey. I was unconscious, don't blame me.

When he was done ranting, I turned my sassy young spy on, and faced him head on. I cocked a hip, raised an eyebrow, help up my hand, and in the snobbiest voice ever, began a historical rant that started with three words,-

"Excuse me, Joe?"

Chapter 10: Guilt Trips and Revelations

-"So, tell me, Mr. Solomon," I said, hands flailing and spit flying, while emphasizing the Mr. "What gives you the right to barge into our private dorm, ranting about a lost file that was most definitely not taken by anybody in this room." Everyone stared at me wide-eye and mouth open.

Joe stood a little straighter and cleared his.

"I am a trained spy, Ms. Morgan." I smirked.

"And obviously, by the looks of it, you're getting sloppy."

"I cannot believe you said that to him!" Liz cried. I laughed. Old tactics never fail. Suddenly, I felt hollow. The earlier parts of the morning rolled in, consuming me. (I WAS FEELING DRAMATIC OKAY.)

"Whatever." I said, making my bed and blowing my hair out of my face. All while rolling my eyes. I stood up when I finished, pulling my hair into a high ponytail.

"So…"

"Yes." I replied calmly. Liz sighed heavily and sat on her bed, she pulled a pillow onto her lap. She dropped her head into her hands and began to rub her eyes. She looked older, more tired. She called for Bex and Macey. They rushed in.

"Time to tell her."
