2 " It’s going to be an hour’s drive back to our hotel,” the lead chaperone announced. “During that time there will be no shouting, no food, no public displays of affection, and no unsavory language. Also, we will not be returning your phones until the end of the ride.” This provoked a lot of unsavory language. "

3 " Heat of passion?” Jawa suggested. “I might buy that for anyone else,” I said, “but not Erica.” “Ben has a point,” Zoe agreed. “This is the Ice Queen we’re talking about. I’ve seen rocks with more passion than her. "

4 " So I just sat there, looking into her eyes, wondering if she wanted me to kiss her or not. And then I gathered my nerve, thinking, to heck with it, I would kiss her anyhow. But before I could make a move, Erica ducked away from me, sat on my bed, and began speaking as though we were in the middle of a completely different conversation. “The thing about the Croatoan is that they’re extremely unpredictable… ,” she began. I couldn’t understand what was going on. Until Chip Schacter burst into my room a second later. "

5 " You really think George Washington’s spies would use something this easy? This is the kind of thing you find on restaurant kiddie menus!” “There weren’t a lot of restaurant kiddie menus in Washington’s day, "

8 " I’ve encountered worse,” Catherine said. “There was an agent at MI6 whose name was honestly Winnifred Von Tootlepants. "

9 " How are your equestrian skills?” Catherine asked us. “I don’t really have any,” I replied. “Me neither,” said Mike. Catherine frowned, as though this was a failing of our schooling somehow. “Have either of you ever ridden a horse at all?” “Does a carousel count?” Mike asked. “Seeing as those horses aren’t alive, no.” “Then I haven’t.” “I rode one at a petting zoo once,” I said. “Although it might have been a donkey.” “None of that is very encouraging,” Catherine replied. "

11 " Her family does,” I said, making things up as quickly as I could. “His name is Gumbo and he’s a golden retriever. And these bad guys have kidnapped the dog and told Erica that they’ll kill him if she doesn’t do their bidding.” “Oh no!” Chip exclaimed, horrified. I thought I saw tears welling in his eyes. Zoe gave him a withering look. “You don’t honestly believe this, do you?” “Er… maybe,” Chip said. “Erica could have a dog.” “She’s never mentioned it,” Zoe pointed out. “She never mentioned that she had a mother who was a covert operative for MI6 either,” I said. "

12 " I meant the part about my emotions clouding my judgment,” Zoe said, growing embarrassed herself. “Erica is working for the enemy, Ben. She is spinning a web of lies to confuse you…” “And me,” Chip said. “Does Erica have a dog or not?” “Yes she does,” I answered. “And he’s adorable.” “Awww,” Chip said. “There’s no dog, you idiot!” Zoe yelled. “Ben’s lying to you!” Then she returned her attention to me. “I came here to give you a chance. If I really wanted to capture you, I could have brought Agent Taco…” Jawa sniggered. Zoe glared at him. “Sorry,” Jawa said. “Her name just makes me laugh. Something about it being a food. It’s like being named Agent Marshmallow. Or Agent Turnip.” “Or Agent Kumquat,” Chip added, and then both of them cracked up. "

13 " Yeah,” Chip agreed. “All this stuff about the Chromazoan sounds totally cuckoo.” “Croatoan,” I corrected. “Whatever,” Chip said. “It’s bonkers. "

14 " As I had hoped, she and Mike had managed to escape their pursuers on horseback, although Mike hadn’t enjoyed it one bit. “I don’t get why people like riding horses at all,” he muttered to me as we climbed down from the tree house. “It feels like someone spent an hour kicking me in the crotch.” I noticed he was walking bowlegged due to his sore nether regions. "

15 " You learned something in History of Spying?” Chip asked blankly. “I fell asleep in every class.” “Me too,” Mike agreed. “Professor Weeks is a bore. "

16 " What the heck are powdered nutgalls?” Chip asked. “It’s what you get after riding a horse at high speed for an hour,” Mike grumbled, gingerly adjusting the seat of his pants. "

17 " Erica looked at him curiously. “That is fun. Who doesn’t like visiting Revolutionary War battle sites?” “Everyone,” Mike said. "

18 " I didn’t really enjoy my time there,” I said. “In fact, it was pretty much the worst experience of my life.” “You do realize that people tried to kill you this morning?” Catherine asked. “Yes,” I replied. “Middle school was still worse. "
