Covert Affairs

The accidental eavesdropping

I can't breathe. My heart rate's out of control. I'm feeling dizzy and I'm on another level seeing stars.....i just love him so much,I'll do anything to keep him happy and that's why here I am playing this stupid game in a closet- Hide and Seek.

The door creaked open all of a sudden. I held my breath inching closer and closer to the extreme corner of the closet. Anytime, I was expecting Spence,my little brother,to wretch the closet door open and scream "I found you" and on cue laugh his evil laugh-Mwahahahaha!!!

But instead,I heard the hushed whispers of my dad speaking to someone over the phone. Usually,I am a type of person who discourages eavesdropping,but this time,I just couldn't help it,considering my current,awkward position. I know better than to listen to my dad's conversations since most of the time,it is related to super-secret government stuff. That's right. If you haven't already guessed it,my dad is an undercover federal agent and he works on covert affairs.

"Umm...that kid?...Oh,the one who lives in my neighbourhood?"

I managed to catch bits of his conversation and then my internal questioning began. Which kid? Why would my father talk about any kid from our neighbourhood?Wait...do I know him?Is it someone from my class?

"That Lawson kid?....Okay...It can be done..." my dad trailed off...

LAWSON????I know Chris...I mean come on,who doesn't?He is the hottest guy in our school what with his messy brown hair and stormy grey eyes with a tinge of blue in them. Even I had a crush on him back in middle school...but that's mid school...

"Trust me...I will finish him without any trace of evidence..."my dad replied to that stranger on the phone.

Finish?? Oh my....is my dad planning to kill Chris? I mean that guy is just too hot to die at such a young age...Okay,bad Linden...get back to matter...I mentally slapped myself. I broke out of my internal reverie and my mind instantly wanted one thing- My Cell Phone!!
