Excerpt:
Chapter
One
“What do you mean you lost them?” Sarah Cole
fidgeted as she waited for Agent Gray to answer. I can’t believe it! He lost
the only clue to our parents’ location. What is wrong with this picture?
Agitated, Sarah shifted in her seat and chewed on her lip. She was
uncomfortable in the folding chair and rearranged her petite frame so she
wouldn’t feel the cold metal against her bare legs. Shivering, she glanced
around the all-too-familiar room.
The gray cement block walls no longer gave her
that creepy, closed-in feeling she’d used to get when she first came to the
interrogation rooms. She remembered the first time she’d been in that tiny
space. It had been the day she’d discovered the Cat Lady’s dead body. Sarah
shuddered at the memory and then smiled when she remembered forming the Super
Spies and bringing the Cat Lady Killer to justice. Glancing around the room
again, she realized she’d been in this room quite a bit these last few weeks,
not only during the Cat Lady investigation, but the High School Bomber
investigation as well. Shivering again, Sarah rubbed her arms but she really
wasn’t cold. Her mind filled with the image of the bomber the Super Spies had
helped apprehend just a week earlier.
Wow! Was it just last week?
She tugged at a lock of her honey colored hair,
then brushed it away with an impatient hand. She sighed and glanced at her
younger sister. Lacey sat beside her with her legs crossed, jiggling her foot
at such a rapid rate it seemed like her whole body was electrified. She caught
Sarah’s eye and for a moment her eyes glittered like emeralds before she
shifted her gaze to Aunt June, who had placed her hand on Lacey’s leg in what
appeared to be an attempt to quiet her. Sarah shifted in her chair and sighed
again. Are we ever going to find Mom and Dad?
A commotion out in the hall drew everyone’s
attention. Sarah leaned forward
and craned her neck to see what was happening.
“Chief, we’ve got an OD!” An officer yelled.
“What?” Chief Johnson yelled as he rushed by.
“An OD on what? Give me the details.”
“The parents found their son unconscious in his
room this morning, and an empty bottle of prescription medication on his
bedside table.”
“What was it?” Chief Johnson asked.
“It’s Myodine.”
“Who makes it?”
“Ah… Piper Drugs.”
“Call Poison Control with the name and
manufacturer and ask them what to do about an overdose. Instruct the parents to
get their son to the hospital pronto,” Chief Johnson ordered.
“They’ve brought him here.”
“What?” Chief Johnson exclaimed.
The sound of policemen rushing through the hall
pulled Sarah and her sister out of their seats. They hurried to the door,
unable to stifle their curiosity. Peering down the corridor, Sarah caught a
glimpse of a young man sagging between two officers as they desperately tried
to keep him on his feet. One officer gently slapped his face while the other
officers held him up. The young man blinked and then gagged, puking on the
officer in front of him.
The rancid stench of fresh vomit filled the air.
While plugging her nose, Sarah ducked back inside the interrogation room,
followed by her sister. Sarah closed the door, hoping it would keep the smell
from penetrating the room.
“Did you hear that, Lace? Piper Drugs! That’s
the company Dad works for,” Sarah whispered in her sister’s ear before
proceeding back to her seat.
Lacey opened her mouth to speak, but closed it
when Agent Gray cleared his
throat and motioned for them to sit down.
He continued his conversation as if they hadn’t
been interrupted. We were on our way to the location of the ping… but before we
got there it disappeared.”
“So, what does that mean? Did you find our
parents or what?” Sarah blurted out as she sat down. She stared into Agent
Gray’s icy blue eyes, trying to read his mind.

They uncover a connection between the two crimes and attempt to bring this information to the police, only to be reprimanded for meddling in the inquest. Not only are the girls upset by the admonition, but they also struggle with the fact that their exuberant investigating could provide a legal loophole allowing the killer to go free. To make matters worse, the police don’t even believe them. Frustrated by this turn of events, the Super Spies realize it’s up to them to snare the Cat Lady killer.
