“Taurien, really, this isn’t Halloween, what’s up? Be honest, please.”
“I am. I’m not lying.” I pulled out my ID card and showed it to them. They sat their open-mouthed.
“Man, no wonder you told us to sit down. Why are you telling us this? And… and… How?” Said my dad with a sigh.
“I have been selected to complete a quest for the International Spy Academy, the actual school I go to. I’ll explain all the details later, but I need your help to complete the quest. I’m sorry if I lied to you about a few things, but we are sworn to absolute secrecy not to tell anyone about the ISA, even parents. So, I know this is all, like, super giant news, but will you help me? And join me in this quest? Do you accept the challenge?” I was kind of desperate. I really wanted them to accept, although they didn’t look very convinced.
“Oh, Taurien. That is a lot to process.” My parents looked at each other. “Can we think on this? Maybe sleep on it?”
“Yeah, sure. But Mr. K. will need to know if you accept, and… I also will need your help. I’m not saying you must go, since it might be dangerous. But...”
“Like I said, Taurien. Let us think on it and sleep on it. We’ll discuss this further with you tomorrow, alright?”
“Ok. Well, I’ll go see if Julia’s home.”
“Tell her mom hi for me! And dinner will be on the stove when you get back.” My mom called back as I walked out the back door.
