A Spy Like Me
“Jolie and Malcolm were thick as thieves, evil twin brothers. I shut out my broken and confused feelings and focused on the moment.
I needed a plan.
Think. Think. Eventually, they’d return and go back up the ladder to Jolie’s kitchen. Had Malcolm been with him? Or was there a separate entrance and Malcolm met him?

Several small pillars of stacked stones were in the cavern, but nothing was wide enough to hide behind except for the hole in the wall behind one of them that was big enough for me to crawl into. While their angry voices drifted from the other room, I crept across the floor, weaved between the pillars, and reached the hole. My skin crawled like a zillion ants were marching over my body. What was in here? Did animals live down here? Like zombie rats that had morphed into larger creatures with ...sharper teeth?MoreLess
