Chapter 16: Spies Stay Home Alone And Everything Happens

"MANGO SMOOTHIES!!!"

"Thanks, Katrina!" I exclaim excitedly.

"Yeah, thanks!" Maddie adds.

Maddie and I each grab a mango smoothie from Katrina. We're back in the mission van, and Katrina's treating us to mango smoothies because we actually completed our mission this time.

I take one large sip from my smoothie, and instantly, I feel that mango deliciousness in my mouth. Mangoes...

"You're welcome," says Katrina happily. "I'm glad you're enjoying them."

"When did you get the smoothies?" I ask curiously.

"I was in the mall too while you were following Chief Robinson around, and I bought the smoothies there," grins Katrina.

"So did you see us?" Maddie asks excitedly.

"I think I may have seen you guys running out of a store," shrugs Katrina. Maddie and I give each other that scared look.

"Which store?" I question Katrina excitedly.

"Might have been a clothing store," says Katrina, concentrating on thinking. "While I was checking your progress on the computer in the back of the van, I noticed that you two split up at one point. You two were supposed to stay together. How come?"

Maddie and I give each other 'we're dead' looks.

Katrina starts the van, and begins driving. Maddie and I quickly buckle up, and Maddie tells me to tell Katrina why we split up.

"Why do I always have to do the talking?" I grumble.

"Cause I'm scared!" Maddie exclaims.

"Fine," I sigh. To Katrina, I say, "We split up because one of my friends saw m, and she wanted to talk to me, but we had to keep an eye on Chief Robinson, so I told Maddie to follow Chief Robinson, and I tried to shake off my friend so that she would stop talking to me, and when she did, I found Maddie later."

"Wow," sighs Maddie. "You explained it better than me."

"Maddie, I was on my rambling mode. That's when I suck at explaining," I say incredulously.

"Okay, then in that case I guess it's fine, it was an unexpected situation," decides Katrina.

"Yay, we're not going to fail our test!" Maddie exclaims.

When we get back to headquarters, Katrina leads us to room 4B, and tells us that she has some great news for us.

"I think you may already know this, but if you don't already know, then here's the news: you're going to have another round of classes starting in December!" Katrina says excitedly. "Aren't you guys excited at the thought of these new classes?"

Maddie and I put our grumpy faces on. We definitely don't look excited.

"I don't want new classes. I want no classes!" I exclaim. "Is that an option?"

"Unfortunately not, Chief Robinson says that these classes are mandatory for both of you," Katrina says eagerly. "But it's perfectly fine, these new classes will be very interesting!"
