Spies in Sandals [Book Four]
***Book four in a series, please read the others first! After the whirlwind that was last winter, Nat thinks she's evolved out of the spy world. It's been eight months, after all, and it's hard to think about spies when it's August and school is about to start. So she focuses instead on enjoying her summer and the occasional presence of a super-hot, still-super-mysterious boy. Nat thought she had finally figured out Zach Sullivan during the blizzardy winter. But it's during the heat-drenched days of summer that the truth comes out about something that only ever existed as a rumor in CIA files: Zach's mother. What happened to Zach when he visited home in July? What caused the CIA to suddenly jump back onto a rumor they'd left alone for almost ten years? Who or what exactly is Zach's mother? Everyone has questions about her, and the only place that could have the answers is Boston, home to Harvard and the Red Sox and generations of Zach's family. So Nat finds herself walking the cobblestone streets of the North End, strolling through the Boston Commons, and wading in Cape Cod as she fights between her loyalty to Zach and the creeping doubt that he will always be hiding something from her. And then the biggest surprise hits...and it's up to Nat to fix it. Spies in sandals? The heat is on.Complete
Agent Benjamin Ripley
This is my first fanfic- Ben is now 6 years a spy, and somehow competent. A legend around the school and the CIA, he's content with his life, but what happens when an old foe comes out of hiding and stirs up trouble? What about the new syndicate and who is the mysterious Cain? This story has Berica, Zike and old and new friends. I published this on Fanfiction.net but couldn't figure out how to add more chapters. Prepare to be kicked in the emotional balls. Warning: I've become the Uncle Rick of Spy School fanfiction, so prepare to be mad at me for the rest of your life. Thanks for reading! "It felt like I was watching someone else's life. It was like a movie. Pictures flashed around me, and I saw myself receiving an award from a man in a suit. I saw Alexander I saw myself running with Erica as a silo blew up behind us. I saw a scene where I was shaking hands with Zoe, Warren behind her. I saw Warren's betrayal. I saw the moment I realized Murray was the mole. I saw myself laughing, playing on the beach with Ashley and Nefarious. I saw me desperately trying to diffuse a bomb. I saw I saw many different things. Acts of love, hatred, betrayal. Then, I saw the deaths. I saw the death of Warren, as he took a bullet to the stomach. I saw the day I was shot too, Erica above me, screaming. I saw myself shooting Joshua Hallal in the head, and Erica crying over his body. I felt a surge of jealousy at the scene too. I saw Murray Hill's hand reach into his pocket, and take out the cyanide pill. I remember... everything." Chapter 14 Has been ranked: #1 in #spyschool #1 in #benripleyComplete
