"Jack!" I exclaimed.
"Jackie?" He called. Jack turned around and saw me, in all my leather-clad, black-haired glory. "Nevermind, Scarlett, false alarm, just sounds like her." Either Jack was fooled or he was being the best brother ever. "Who are you and whaddaya want?"
Scarlett pointed her gun at me. "And who are you workin' for?"
"I'm Evie..."
"Short for Evelyn?"
I put my switchblade (which Winter begrudgingly let me have) at Scarlett's throat. "Call me that and you die."
"And who's your friend?"
"My bro, Jay."
"Short for Jason?"
"Who do YOU work for?"
"We used to work for the greatest spy organization of all time, the Midnight Star."
"Never heard of it."
"Which shows how great it is."
"Mmhmm, anyway, I heard about the big camera heist."
"Are you a cop?!" Scarlett tightened her hand on her gun.
"No. I hate cops. I wanted to join you."
"Suuuuuuuure...."
"Why the sarcastic tone?"
"That's what they all say..."
"Including non cops."
"You know what, you can join us. But if we find out you're actually spies or something..."
Funny thing about that...
