“Hello, Ben,” said the man in my living room. “My
name is Alexander Hale. I work for the CIA.”
And just like that, my life became interesting.
It hadn’t been, up till then. Not by a long shot. at day had
been a prime example: day 4,583, seven months into the twelfth
year of my mundane existence. I had dragged myself out of bed,
eaten breakfast, gone to middle school, been bored in class,
stared at girls I was too embarrassed to approach, had lunch,
slogged through gym, fallen asleep in math, been harassed by
Dirk the Jerk, taken the bus home …
And found a man in a tuxedo sitting on the couch.
I didn’t doubt he was a spy for a second. Alexander Hale
looked exactly like I’d always imagined a spy would. A tiny bit
older, perhaps—he seemed about fifty—but still suave and
debonair. He had a small scar on his chin—from a bullet, I
guessed, or maybe something more exotic, like a crossbow. ere
was something very James Bond about him; I could imagine he’d
been in a car chase on the way over and taken out the bad guys
without breaking a sweat.
My parents weren’t home. ey never were when I got back
from school. Alexander had obviously “let himself in.” e photo
album from our family vacation to Virginia Beach sat open on
the coffee table before him.
“Am I in trouble?” I asked.
Alexander laughed. “For what? You’ve never done anything
wrong in your life. Unless you count the time you spiked Dirk
Dennett’s Pepsi with Ex-Lax—and frankly, that kid was asking
for it.”
My eyes widened in surprise. “How did you know that?”
“I’m a spy. It’s my job to know things. Do you have anything
to drink?”
“Uh, sure.” My mind quickly cataloged every beverage in the
house. Although I had no idea what this man was doing there, I
found myself desperately wanting to impress him. “My folks have
all kinds of stuff. What would you like? A martini?”
Alexander laughed again. “is isn’t the movies, kid. I’m on
the clock.”
I blushed, feeling foolish. “Oh. Right. Water?”
“I was thinking more like an energy drink. Something with
electrolytes, just in case I need to leap into action. I had to ditch
some undesirables on my way over here.”
