Partners in Crime (9780545463119) (2012)
“We made plans to meet at Darcy’s house Saturday for some Internet research. My house was out of the question since our computer is in the living room, and my parents would be staring over our shoulders the whole time. Then they’d want to know what we were doing and I’d be faced with the choice of either (a) telling them we’re investigating a real missing person case (after which they’d freak out and decide it was too dangerous) or (b) lying to them (after which I’d feel so guilty I’d have a sto...machache for days).
So doing the work at Darcy’s would avoid all that unnecessary drama.
I woke up Saturday morning and ate a bowl of cereal while watching TV — something I wasn’t allowed to do on school days. I had about ten minutes before I had to be at Darcy’s, so I decided to take Hubble for a walk. Mom and Dad were snuggled on the couch, sharing the newspaper, and I waved ’bye to them.
After I’d clipped on his leash, Hubble pulled me down the driveway and to the sidewalk.MoreLess
