The Case of the Half-Demon
Spy
Adam watched as Paige took a water glass from the tray outside the meeting room door. She
lifted it to the side of her head, the base pressed against her left ear, then she cocked her head,
her brow furrowed in concentration. After a moment, she replaced the water cup with a coffee
mug, and closed her eyes.
“Say something,” she said.
“I’m afraid to. What the hell are you—?”
She cut him off with a brusque wave, lowered the mug, then grabbed the water glass with
her other hand and looked around.
“There,” she said, jerking her chin at the closet. “Go in there.”
Adam shook his head, grabbed his new Walkman and took out his cassette case.
“Fine,” she said. “I’ll go in the closet.”
“Again . . . what the hell are you—?”
“Stop swearing. It doesn’t make you sound cool, you know. Not that anything could . . .”
He balled up a napkin and pitched it at her. “At least I don’t have a huge zit on my nose.
Makes you look like a witch.” He snapped his fingers. “Hey, maybe it’ll help you cast spells.
Hope so. You can use all the help you can get.”
“Ha-ha. Take those headphones off and give me a hand. I’m doing this for you.”
“Doing what?”
“Saving you from a boring afternoon hanging out in this hallway waiting for the council
meeting to end. Now, do you want to go into that closet or should I?”
“We both could,” he said with a sly grin. “That would be one way to pass the time.”
She gave him a look, as if the suggestion didn’t warrant a response. Couldn’t blame him for
trying, even if he knew the answer wouldn’t change and, really, he wasn’t sure what he’d do if it
ever did.
He’d been friends with Paige for almost two years now, and there were times when, alone
like this, with a girl who was cute enough, and . . . His gaze dropped to her chest, at fourteen,
already bigger than a lot of grown women’s . . . Well, sometimes he did entertain thoughts of
darkened closets and misplaced hands and—
“Adam.” She glowered up at him, hands on hips. “Are you going in there or am I?”
“If you do, can I lock the door?”
A roll of her eyes, and she strode past him to the closet, opened the door and waved him
inside.
“What am I supposed to—?”
“Just talk. That should be easy enough.”

He opened his mouth to retort, but she shut the door in his face. Christ, like he’d want to be
in a closet with her. She’d probably spend the whole time giving him orders. Do this, do that . .
. kiss me here . . . touch me there . . .
His groin tightened and he shoved back the images. Better not to think of it. If he ever did
get Paige in a closet, he’d regret it. She’d make sure of that.
“What am I doing?” he asked.
“Helping me conduct a scientific experiment.”
“Scient—?” He grabbed the door handle, but she’d spell-locked it shut. “Is this homework?
You promised you wouldn’t spend the weekend doing homework again.”
“I’m not. I don’t have any.” She opened the door, ushered him out and held up the water
glass. “Glass works better than china. Or maybe it’s because of the longer tube. I’m not sure.”
“Works better for what?”
“Conducting sound. I’d read about it, but I wasn’t sure it would work. I guess I should
have known better. Simple physics, really.”
“Uh-huh.”
“Come on,” she said, handing him a glass. “Let’s find out why they kicked us out of that
meeting.”
“We’re going to spy on them?”
“Of course not,” she said, already striding off. “Spying means watching. We’re going to
eavesdrop.”
