The Problem Solvers Club

Part 6

Logan

"Logan!" Rory's voice snaps me back to reality. I sit up glancing around. I nearly fall out of my chair when I see Rory's face near inches from mine. He leans closer, and I realize his hands are resting on my legs to keep him from falling on top of me. Too close! Too close! "You fell asleep silly!" He lifts his hands and pokes my face a few times. "Wake up! Keira found that the source is legit and had Autumn send the email."

"That's great," I say, taking Rory's small hands in mine and remove them from my face. "Also, some personal space please?" He blushes, yanking his hands from mine and skittering backward.

"Sorry!" He looks down at his feet, fidgeting uncomfortably.

"Hey, it's okay." I stand and take Rory by the shoulder. "Let's head over to the others, 'kay?" Rory nods and starts to walk over. I follow behind.

Keira and Autumn sit in front of a laptop, scrolling through an email. "Hey, Logan! Sup' Rory!" Keira waves us over. "I did some research last night and it looks like our source is credible! Autumn just responded to say we'll take the case!" Keira looks proud of herself as she leans back down to show Autumn something else on the computer.

"You need any help with anything?" asks Rory as Hippolyta comes to join our cluster.

"Well, we're going to call Lola in to talk tomorrow to get more info on the situation, but until then we don't really have anything else to get done," Hippolyta explains. Rory looks dejected, but perks back up suddenly, turning to me. "With something as important as this we should probably get moving.

"Hey, you're the one who asked for the research!" Keira snaps glaring at Hippolyta. This is about to get awkward, isn't it.

"Come with me, Logan!" Rory says, as is noticing my nervousness. He looks up earnestly into my eyes like some kind of puppy dog. I try not to freak out as my face heats up. Well, I can't say no.

"Alright." Giggling, Rory grabs my hand and bounds off, dragging me behind him.
