Tedd and Todd's secret Read Online Free PDF

covered by the sleeve of a jacket. His tight singlet had disappeared along with the rest of his gym clothes, and, as weird as it seemed, he was now dressed in an elegant white suit.
    He had no time to examine his new clothes, as a sharp whistle cut through the air. Earl spun around on his heels in time to see another lance heading straight for him. In a flash, he raised his left hand and felt an impact. The blow sounded like metal against metal. He was now carrying a shield.
    Without showing the slightest surprise about the shield or the amazement that reigned through the room, the trainer crossed the gymnasium, treading softly in his recently acquired white shoes, dodging broken glass. Helped by the shield, he made it to the front door and ran down the street.
     

     
    "You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Lance Norwood asked, tightening the seatbelt. "Later, you'll be surprised that the press is complaining about you."
    "Whatever you say. It was a pure coincidence, I swear," Aidan said, without looking at Lance.
    He'd just put his arm back in the car after tossing a cigarette into the street, which had landed on the back of one of the journalists that formed a crowd there.
    "It won't fit there," Lance said.
    Ignoring his partner's advice, Aidan Zack squeezed the car into the little space there was between the two other vehicles, and after a few fancy manoeuvres parked the car. One of the tyres finished up on the pavement and in the end a new dent was added to the rest.
    "Not very fair," Aidan said, closing the door behind him.
    "As usual, a load of old iron," Lance observed, passing his hand over the latest damage. "It's the worst looked-after car in London. Doesn't it occur to you to ring me when it starts falling to pieces?"
    Lance took a deep breath and went after Aidan, who was already in the circle of journalists. It wasn't hard following his partner because his head stood out above everyone else's. The microphones followed Aidan like predators after their prey.
    "Police, make way," Aidan yelled as he cut through the pack of journalists. "There are no statements for the moment. Move on."
    Lance fell into stride behind Aidan to avoid having to face the flood of questions himself. It wouldn't be the first time that Aidan had argued with a journalist who interrupted his work. In Lance's opinion, Aidan was right, but that wasn't enough, he had to maintain control because that's how it was with the press. Freedom of the press meant just that.
    Finally they made the entrance to the building, where some uniformed police were holding the throng back. Aidan pushed his way through with his elbows and the two of them showed their badges and were let through.
    "You still haven't told me how it went with the shrink," Lance said while they were making their way upstairs.
    "Great," Aidan smiled. "I'm off the hook till next year. I told you that would happen. You owe me money."
    "I still don't know why they haven't asked me about your madness." Lance raised his head. The prospect of going up so many stairs struck him as being too hard. "I'm your partner, the human being you spend most time with, given your pathetic social life. Nobody knows better than me how sick you are. I can assure you, if she asked me I'd put you in an institution for life. So you'd better pay me for my silence. I'm the one who should get paid for being your partner."
    "Don't bet next time," Aidan said, his hand following the railing upstairs.
    "I don't have any cash on board," Lance said opening his hands. "Let's do it this way. I'll pay you if you come along on Friday."
    "We've already talked about that. It doesn't turn me on. I don't trust you."
    "That's unfair," Lance said, offended. "I've been looking for the perfect woman for you. She's got the lot. Besides, she won't knock you back."
    Aidan stopped on each step and stared back at Lance, leaning into his face. Lance pulled back each time, swallowing saliva.
    "I'm not going to get involved in another one of
