Live and Let Spy

Informationen zum Autor Elizabeth Cage is the pseudonym of a noted young adult author. Her true identity and current whereabouts are classified. Klappentext Spy Girls reveal the secrets of their success: Jo "A little lip gloss and a lotta luck." Caylin "The thirst for action and the need for speed." Theresa "Whatever's clever." With their maiden mission a smashing success, our three fabulous femmes are grooving their way around Eastern Europe, where a young ballerina has been kidnapped and replaced by a dangerous double. This dancing queen is downright deadly -- and she won't stop pirouetting until she kills the prime minister of Varokhastan! Can the Spy Girls stay on their toes long enough to save the peace-loving P.M. from a fatal pas de deux? Leseprobe Chapter One "Holy cow!" Theresa Hearth said as she checked out the spread of Godiva and strawberries on the huge conference table before her. "This is a diabetic's worst nightmare." Caylin Pike grinned. "That which does not kill you will only make you fatter." She popped a plump strawberry into her mouth for emphasis. "Like you have to worry about getting fat," Theresa muttered. "Run any marathons this morning?" Caylin flipped her blond ponytail behind her and fired a roundhouse kick into the air. "Just a ten-K. But I did foil a few muggings on the way home." "The world should know better than to mess with you, right?" Jo Carreras added, her dark eyes sparkling. "Right." Caylin straightened her sweatshirt and gracefully slid into one of the massive conference room chairs. Her every move was lithe and athletic. "So what's the deal with this room? It's big enough for a game of racquetball. And it looks so... sterile." "No kidding," Theresa replied, scanning the high white walls and hidden fluorescent lights. The chamber had to be at least a hundred feet long and thirty feet wide. The only furnishings were the gigantic white conference table and three expensive-looking white leather chairs. One chair for each of the Spy Girls. "Sometimes The Tower really creeps me out," Theresa remarked. She ran a hand nervously through her tousled brown hair "It's like they plan everything with only us in mind." "Like they know what we're thinking at all times," Jo agreed. She approached one of the empty chairs tentatively, then tippy-tapped away in her Manolo Blahnik mules. "Sit down, you guys." Caylin said impatiently. "I bet the show's not going to start until we're all in our seats." Theresa and Jo remained rooted to the glossy, futuristic hospital-white floor. Caylin's blue eyes widened indignantly. "What, do you think the chairs will flip over backward and set you on fire like in Austin Powers?" Theresa laughed. "I loved that part." "Hey, not funny," Jo pleaded. "There's something about this room that...I don't know. It's freaky." "Look, The Tower handpicked us to save the world, remember?" Caylin said. "We're the good guys. Nothing bad's going to happen to us here." Theresa snagged a piece of chocolate and slowly sat down. The chair was surprisingly soft and comfortable. No fire, no flipping. "You know, Jo does have a point," she began. "This is the kind of room where presidents decide which countries to bomb. We trained in this building for four months and we didn't even know this room existed. Good guys or not, doesn't that weird you out in the slightest?" "Nope," Caylin replied, popping another juicy berry. "Whoa! Careful with that juice, Cay," Jo warned as she sat down gingerly in the last remaining empty chair. "Would you like the honor of paying my next dry-cleaning bill?" Caylin pretended to lob a chocolate in Jo's direction. "What do you care when The Tower's picking up the tab?" "Oh yeah...you're right." Jo smoothed her pristine Prada pencil skirt over her knees. "So why did we get summoned here, anyway?" Caylin sipped...
