The Secret Mission

I felt Liz's small shoulder pressing into mine. I leaned over as close as I could, and when I was sure Solomon wasn't looking I whispered the letters 'D.C.' to her. All she did was nod her head and a smile spread across my face. We were going back.

Solomon hadn't seen us, which was a good thing considering he would have us help out the 7th graders for days as they practiced their roundhouse kicks.

The rest of the trip I was freaking out--only on the inside though. Either we were getting a rematch with the Blackthorne boys or we were doing something else. I just didn't know what that something was. Which was starting to scare me.

Everyone, who I assumed were my sisters since they also had on their disguises, turned to look at me. I had been the last person to get dressed since I was working with Liz and Bex to figure out how we were going to get those shoes. I started handing out the instructions to everyone when there was a knock at the door.
