The next day is Saturday, and I could scream. I earned that place, I should be able to run, and seeing that smug Kyle is enough to make anyone have a nervous breakdown! They don’t let people who have just been healed, in case they’re not completely fine yet. Life’s not fair! Hannah and Kate would say that’s a negative attitude and life is what you make it. Most of the time I agree with this, but not today. My parents are great, they make it up to me big style because they’ve just bought me a year’s pass to Richstone Running Track! I could train there all day!

Dad goes to work and I’m going down to Police Plaza with my mum to see him later.

Williams Hotel -10.00am

“You don’t know what?” the pixie screamed before calming down. The way a headteacher calms down just before she suspends a pupil “Here’s what it’s done! It’s raised suspicions. Sooner or later they’re going to start looking for me!”

“But they think you’re …”

“They’ll get wise! Short never believed it, now leave me and bring me my food. Did you just look directly at me?”

Police Plaza - 2.00

“Dad” I say like a little girl.

“Hey Darling,” he says.

Several of the LEPretrival officers tell me how “it used to Holly he would go on about now it’s you and Holly”.

“and don’t forget his little boy,” adds one of the others.

I see there music player “Sweet set up!” I say pointing to it.

“Foaly,” they reply. My mum’s talking to a recon and retrival officer. Dad’s with Josh while all the other officers say

“Frond, if he’s like you Root will retire there and then, I mean, another Holly and another Trouble. I think he’ll demand early retirment in case they do go into the LEP” .

There are two commanders, one for Recon (Root) one for Retrival (my dad) all the other depatments are divided up between them.

I go to speak to Foaly to ask him where he got the sound system when the song comes on for my Modern Dance exam so I get more rehersal in.

Click twice, turn ,cartwheel, left right, heal……. At the end of the routine I see people were watching. I smile and they all applaud me! But as usal with Police Plaza there’s a joke to be found

“Hey Trouble!” Richard, a Recon officer says “How much?”

“For what?” asks my dad.

“You had about as much dance skill as Foaly when you were younger. So how much to rent the kid?”

He laughs, but Root shouts on him and mum. Outside work Root actually likes to see us but during it “you work got it!”.

He’s not really into the whole “office atmosphere”, but dad comes out and looks at me really sadly.

“We need to talk to you, OK, Dannie?”

I nod. I go into the room. On the way by people say “it will be OK, Dans”. No one at Police Plaza calls me Dannie.

When I go in, Root, Foaly, my parents, and Vinyaya are there. The room is full of Plasmas and really high tech computers. It’s  got a long, narrow wooden table down it. They’re all standing round it.
