Now You See Me

Through the Looking Glass

Mr. Lee, there's someone here for you. the receptionist said on the phone. Henry knew they wouldn't just let him see his Uncle who works for the CIA because of really tight security. 

Who is it? Henry heard his Uncle Ray say from the phone's speaker. 

Henry Hart.  the receptionist told Ray.  

There was a pause, "Send him over." 

Henry knocked on Ray's door office door and a hand scanner popped up. Henry knew the drill and put his hand for a scan as the door opened for Ray's office. 

"I still don't get why it's such a big deal to get into your office. Henry laughed.  

"How are you doing, Hen?" Ray smiled. His office looked like any other office, nothing like you'd expect from the CIA. 

I'm doing good., he sat down. 

Good. Ray logged off from his computer and turned his complete attention to nephew. "How's your mom?"

She's okay. Henry explained. "I'm actually here to ask you a favor."

Of course you are. Ray chuckled. "You wouldn't pay a vist for  anything else. What's it now?

Henry laughed, "That's not true: I vist you even when I don't want something. 

Just get to the point, Hen. Ray said. 

Umm... Henry paused. " I was wodnering if there was away I can get one of thos little spy camera. 

A spy camera? Ray laughed, "For what?" 

Just for. Henry started, "Something."

I'm sure it is. He studied Henry. "Because if it weren't for nothing and I doubt you'd come here to ask me for a spy camera for nothing." 

Henry smiled. "It's something you wouldn't care for."

Try me. He said moving his chair to the mini refrigerator and taking out two beers. "Intrested?" 

Sure. Henry took one from Ray's hand. It was funny to him that Ray offer when it was illegal and he was working for the CIA. 

It's a stupid teenager thing. Henry said trying to get away with not telling Ray. 

Aha! Ray said opening up his beer. "I'm not going to give you a spy camera if I don't know what for."

"It's--" Henry started, "Something for my girlfreind. We want to spy on this girl she hates and--" he looked up at Ray.   

Ray started laughing, "You want a spy camerato bring down a chick who that's bothering your girlfriend?"

"I--" Henry started. ""I know it stupid, but it important for her." 

And you? Ray asked, "Is important to you?"

She's Jasper's best friend".Henry said. "And I know it completely idiotic  but I want him to go through something like losing his best friend." 

Ray paused, "Losing his best friend? "What are you going to do?"

"That's not what I meant, Ray. I'm not going to kill her. Henry said. 

Ray let out sigh of relief, "This spy equipment is not a joke, Henry and I can't give it to you if you're going to use it against someone just for fun."   

Henry nodded, he knew that this night happen. "I understand."

"What are you planning to do?" Ray asked finally taking a drink from his beer.
