I suppose a lot of teenage girls feel invisible sometimes, like they just disappear. Well, that's me—Cammie the Chameleon. But I'm luckier than most because, at my school, that's considered cool. I go to a school for spies.

Now, now, hear me out, Hamish went on. We don't have to kidnap Garrett. Not if we kidnap the buyer. Or distract him, Angus added. Like the Bulgari job, Hamish said. You mean the job that landed half the DiMarco family in a South African prison? Kat said. Angus shrugged. Nobody said it was perfect.

That's cool. Hale nodded, unfazed. But just so you know, that---he pointed to the piece of metal peeking out from behind the stage---is a Hurst 5,000 PSI hydraulic spreader-cutter, more commonly know as the Jaws of Life. So? So I'm not a normal boy.
