have been smart to use a real foster family for cover, but now they were in danger. He got to the park early and watched the direction he knew Scott would be coming in.
    Jason sat on a swing and glanced at his watch—ten past six. They had arranged to meet at six. He wondered if Scott was still coming. He finally showed up and joined Jason on the swings. To anyone watching, it was just two boys rocking on the swings and talking. You would never guess they were passing information about murder plots.
    â€œYour grandparents are down from Scotland and have flipped out. They gave Mrs. Beeton a hard time and they came around to my house. Your gran is really upset. I had to call George Young or she was going to call the police.”
    â€œOh, no, what did he do?”
    â€œHe told them it was a matter for SYUI and British security and that if they tried to make a fuss, they could be putting you in danger. They’re staying at your house. Oh, and they called the admiralty and spoke to your father. As you can guess, he is pretty mad with George Young and you.”
    â€œJesus, what a mess. I will be in for it when this is over and he gets home. I feel sorry for Mrs. Beeton. Get a message to my grandparents. Tell them I’m fine and they are to apologize to Mrs. Beeton. She’s just the housekeeper. It’s not her fault, and let’s face it, she couldn’t have stopped me.”
    Scott stopped his swing and stood and faced Jason, who had to drag his feet on the ground to stop before he knocked Scott over.
    â€œYou want me to go around to your house and face your grandparents? They’ll skin me alive! Those Scottish people are weird.”
    â€œHey, my mum was Scottish. Take that back. Just tell Gran I sent my love and she’ll be cool.”
    â€œOh, sorry, I didn’t mean anything bad about your mum. Okay, I’ll go and see them, but if you don’t ever see me again, you’ll know they cut me up and stuck me in a haggis.”
    Jason grinned at Scott. They started walking over to the jungle gym, which was shaped like an igloo with metal bars. Jason jumped up and lifted his legs. Once he was hanging upside down by his legs, he continued, “Now down to work. On Saturday, Andrew Cho and I are going to kill a guy—the same guy he was assaulting when he was arrested and caught by the police. He wants to send a message that he’s the big grown-up son of Lin Cho. How do I get out of it without breaking my cover? I can’t kill a guy or watch it happen.”
    â€œDunno. I’ll ask George Young and see what he says. What’s your new school like?” Scott panted as he climbed up. He wasn’t as brave as Jason and thought better of hanging upside down by just his legs.
    â€œEasy, relaxed. They don’t have a ‘Taffy’ Griffiths. It’s a coed school, so it’s different having girls in the class. But no one is as pretty as Catherine. I wish I could call her.”
    â€œAs much as I like working at SYUI and being the messenger, I will be glad when this is over. A few guys at school have started pushing me around. You know, the usual stuff, calling me a nerd.”
    â€œYou are a nerd, Scott. That’s what I like about you.” Jason laughed.
    Scott cursed at Jason and punched his leg, almost causing Jason to fall. “I can’t think why I like you. Probably because it makes me feel superior because of your lack of intelligence.”
    â€œProbably.” Jason smiled. Scott looked back and smiled at his friend. They climbed off the frame and toward the grass when two smaller boys came to play on the bars.
    â€œWell, actually, there is some news about school, but it’s not good. Colin Wilkes hanged himself two days ago.”
    â€œWhat? No way! Why?” Jason was shocked by the news. They had not been close friends but had often run track together after school.
    â€œProbably because he was a junky and got kicked out
