with Mia's telekinesis and training from Susan, not even James wanted to mess with her.
    “It's something, spill it.”
    “I'm just trying to decide if this is a good idea or not.”
    “Decide if what's a good idea?”
    James looked at her as if she should know the answer to her own question, but she pretended as if she didn't. “You know good and well what I'm talking about Mia. You know the man's lunch schedule. How much more obvious can you be?”
    Mia shook off the subtle accusation. “I know his lunch schedule because I talked to him for a few minutes last week. It's a detail, and Susan's been training me to pay close attention to all details. No matter how big or small they seem.”
    “Mhm, whatever you say Mia.”
    “Oh, whatever James!” Mia rolled her eyes and looked around the hangar bay room. She noticed an empty water bottle and smiled mischievously. Mia flicked her left hand forward and sent the water bottle flying in James' direction. The playful attack caught James by surprise and hit him in the side of the head.
    “Really Mia? Real mature!” James shook off the bottle attack and focused his attention to the outside. He looked to see if the coast was clear and when he was confident it was, he had Christine open the hangar bay doors.
    “Alright, let's do this,” Mia said. She strutted passed James and made her way to the sidewalk.
    “Hey, you want to slow down a bit?” James said.
    Mia huffed. “With those long legs of yours, you should have no reason not to be able to keep up.”
    “You know Mia; you can be a real brat at times!”
    Mia flashed her gorgeous smile and batted her long eyelashes. “Maybe, but you still love me anyway.”
    “Yeah, yeah, let's just get this over with. It's been a long day already.”
    “Yeah, it has. How do you think things went with Dr. Connors?”
    “I'm sure everything went okay,” James said as he used his long strides to catch up to Mia. The two approached the front door at the same time. Mia tried to open the door, but it was locked. “Attention to detail huh?”
    “What?”
    James pointed to the small circular gray button that rested on the right side of the brick wall. “You have to be buzzed in silly.”
    “Oh yeah, I saw it.” Mia did her best to play the oversight off. “The school has a no guns allowed sign right here. You probably should've left your side arm on the plane.”
    “Yeah, I don't think so. I don't like to take any chances.”
    The secretary buzzed the two Ascendants inside the building.
    “Let me do all the talking,” Mia said. She stepped forward and waited for the secretary to buzz her inside the junior high office.
    “Hi, can I help you?” the secretary asked.
    “Umm yes, we're here to see Mr. Morgan.”
    “Is he expecting you?”
    “No he isn't, we wanted it to be a surprise.”
    “I see, and you two are?”
    Mia and James looked at one another as if they shared a telepathic link, but unfortunately the link only worked when Tori was around to establish a connection. “I'm his sister Mia and this is his best friend James.”
    A bright smile appeared on the secretary's face. “Oh, well that's wonderful, I'm sure Mr. Morgan will be delighted to see you two! I just need you guys to sign in really quick for me.”
    “Delighted to see us isn't the word I would use,” James mumbled.
    Mia stepped a bit closer to James and stepped on his toe. James grimaced slightly and smiled through the pain. He glared at Mia, but she refused to meet his stare. James and Mia finished signing in and waited patiently for the secretary to give them visitor passes. She instructed them on how to reach the teacher's lounge and sent them on their way.
    “You think we should've used fake names?” Mia asked.
    “Oh now you’re worried about giving out your real name?”
    “I'm serious, after today, that government organization is going to be looking for us.”
    “Well it’s too late now. They already know our names thanks to you.”
    Mia
