A nap, and a meeting

Your alarm goes off, and you wake up and change into your black pants, turtleneck and balaclava from the other night before setting off through the dark, silent and empty campus for the main building. Valarie is already there, in the spot you told her to meet you, dressed in black tights and a tight black top. She comes up to you eagerly. “See, I can show you, I wasn’t lying, I’m a good spy...”

“Then shut up and show me,” you growl at her, and she turns, leading you across the lawn to the shed.

It doesn’t look any more impressive at night, but you let Valarie lead you by the arm to some bushes to the side. “I was hiding here, I saw everything, someone will be coming, I promise,” she babbles.

You silence her with a glare, and settle in to wait. After a few minutes you’re damned if you don’t see a girl, her face obscured in the dark, walk to the shed. She glances behind her, unlocks the door and goes inside.

“See, I told you, I told you…” Valarie loudly whispers before you silence her with another look. You glance around and see no one else coming, so you creep out of the bushes toward the shed. You glance through the window and can see no one inside, even though you know you saw a girl go in. After a moment, you approach the door, still open a crack, but even as you put your hand on it you’re brought up short by Valarie clutching your arm.

She’s pointing back toward the campus. You turn back see two men, silhouetted against the lights of the buildings, marching up toward the shed. Shit, you think. Hawkfeather? Another new teacher? You don’t want to explain what you’re doing here, but you’ve got the feeling you’re on to something big, and you don’t want to run home now.
