Case Cracker

Chapter 4 - Phase 1

Finally. After three agonizing days of waiting, its finally June 9th. It feels like I've been waiting for this day for a couple of months, instead of a few days. First step: wait for my parents to fall asleep.  Its already 12:45, if my parents don't fall asleep soon, I think I will.

To keep myself awake, I kept my lamp on (I was going to turn on my light but I didn't want to cause attention and for my parents to walk into my room) and I was on my phone. I was charging it too, because you never know who you might need to call in the middle of the night.

Finally, around 1:15 I heard my parents walk up the stairs and shut their bedroom door. I poke my head out of my room and peer into the pitch black hallway. Yep, my parents were out for the night. I tiptoe back into my room and DM Cody.

Rosie39: My parents just fell asleep. Meet you outside in 5 mins.

CodyDaBawse: Perf. 👌 I'll be waiting.  

It had just occurred to me that I was not dressed. To match the cliché spy movies, I threw on a pair of black leggings (with tight pockets to hold my phone and house keys), black leather gloves with the fingers cut off (which I stole form my brother), and a plain black long sleeve shirt.  I then Dutch braided my hair to keep it out of my face, and threw on a black beanie to finish of my burglar look. I finally slipped on my plain black converse high tops and scrambled out my window.

Thankfully my house wasn't too high up, I was able to jump out my window and land oh so gracefully on my ass. I'm definitely going to have a bruise tomorrow. I them scramble to my feet and sprint across my lawn and onto Cody's driveway. I was so anxious and exited for what was about to happen.

When Cody saw me running towards him, he smiled and said "You ready, spy kid?" "Ha ha" I returned, sticking my tongue out at him "I didn't know how to dress, so I figured why not dress like a spy in all the movies" I try to explain my appearance. "Whatever. Its already 1:21. We need to hurry up if we're gonna get everything done."

And then we hop into his car. As I get into the driver's seat, I notice the backseat is littered with 4 cans of silly string, one tub of Vicks, a towel and 9 containers of crazy glue.

"First stop, Jamie Espinoza's house."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As we pull up to a house littered with toilet paper, empty chip bags, beer bottles, and solo cups, Cody bolts out of the car. I just now realized Cody is decked out in the same outfit as I am; all black. So it wasn't a stupid idea. Good thinking, Rosie (*pats back*).

Its been 10 minutes. I hope Cody's mom doesn't mind an empty gas tank. I assume everyone is sleeping, because I can hardly hear anyone, and the music volume has really died down. A few minutes have passed. then out of nowhere, I hear-

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS!!!!!! WHO DID THIS?!" I can hear Jamie's voice from the opened door of her huge house. She sounds infuriated, which is music to my ears. Even though I know what Cody did was wrong, it's so funny. Because Cody is right, she's a total snob. Her raging and disoriented voice is so funny. "URGH, I JUST-WHO DID-HOW DID-I'M GONNA KILL SOMEONE- THIS SI SO STICKY-ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" With all her screeching, other people taking photos and laughing their faces off at the queen of the school covered in goo, I had my own laughing fit. I was laughing so hard, I didn't even realize that Cody had already gotten into the car until- "DRIVE". Holy crap. I immediately put the car into drive, and zoom off.

When we were in the car on our way to Robbie's house (on the other side of the rich neighbourhood) Cody was telling me what happened.

"So I walked in to this party right, I put my hood on so no one could see my face. The few people that weren't sleeping- or so intoxicated they passed out- were whispering about me trying to figure out who I was. I even heard someone say they were going to try to take off my hood. Yeah right. Anyway, I checked the living room first- where most of the people were piled on top of each other- but Jamie wasn't there. I checked the kitchen next, and there she was, sleeping thank god, cradling a bottle of vodka. Everyone else in the kitchen was sleeping, which made my task a whole lot easier. So I walked up behind her, and started with a spraying a shitload of goo on her designer shoes, because I knew she wouldn't wake up 'cuz of  that. Then I slowly made my way up the rest of her, sprayed a ton in her hair, and then finished with her face. Not one second after, she bolted up, and started screeching." He was laughing now too. His scrunched up face was so adorable. "It was priceless. She was so disoriented, and the sticky stuff kept getting in her mouth every time she opened it." He was in a full on laughing fit now, his face all scrunched up, he was holding his stomach and tears were streaming down his face.   

As we were pulling up to Robbie's house, Cody said to me, "You know the drill." before he ran out into the darkness towards Robbie's house.

Yes I do Cody. Yes I do.
