run away or kill him in his bed or anything. If I was going to whack anyone while he slept, it would be Luke. Believe me. I do have a foolproof plan, though.
    MerylM:
Uh-oh.
    Lipstickgrrrrl:
What kind of plan?
    LawBreakR: He (Dad) works that night, because of homecoming, remember? He won’t be home until three or four A.M. I’ll sneak out and be back before he realizes I’m gone. It’s perf!!!!!!!!
    MerylM:
UGH, I don’t know. That makes my stomach nervous. He’ll end up hating all of us.
    Lipstickgrrrrl:
Lila, yeah. Meryl’s right. Just forget it. You’ll end up grounded until you’re thirty, and this time you won’t be able to see us, either. We can reskedge.
    LawBreakR:
NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We HAVE to do it on the equinox! I just feel it!
    Lipstickgrrrrl:
It’s our INTENT, right, Meryl? We can do it anytime.
    MerylM:
Right.
    LawBreakR:
I will NOT put my life on hold just because I got unfairly busted for creating an empire out of forged siggys! Donald Trump would probably give me my own company if I was HIS kid.
    MerylM:
But, you’re NOT Trump’s kid. You’re the POLICE CHIEF’S kid. GRASP THE DIFFERENCE, LILA! What if you get caught??
    LawBreakR:
[scoff] I WON’T get caught, and anyway, my life already blows. Even if I did, what could he possibly do to make it worse?????????
    Lipstickgrrrrl:
Famous last words.
    LawBreakR:
Ha-freakin’-ha. I will not live under these conditions! I’m a human being! An American. I have RIGHTS!!!
    MerylM:
Actually, as a teenager, not many. Not even as an American teenager, which we can discuss further sometime if you’re interested in the parameters of the law. And the bust was kind of a big deal. No offense!!! I’m not discounting your unique talent for forgery.
    Lipstickgrrrrl:
LOL! Rights, [snort] You’re so dramatic, Lila. Maybe YOU should be in the stupid play instead of me.
    LawBreakR:
I can’t act. I can’t sing. Be quiet. And I don’t want to hear about my teenage rights, Meryl, or the lack thereof. I’m depressed enough as it is. WAHHHH!! You guys are NOT giving me the props I need.Crap, gotta blaze, [sigh] He’s bellowing that dinner’s ready, LIKE I want to eat. Anyway. I need to fly under the radar big time until next Tuesday, so I can pull off my plan to sneak out—AND I WILL!! So, color me scarce. Hit me on email if you need me or talk to me at school. Later, chicas!
    Lipstickgrrrrl:
Ciao, bellas. (((((((((Lila)))))))))))
    MerylM:
TTYL! ((((((((Lila))))))))
    LawBreakR:
Thx, GFs. Hugs back! (((((((((((U2))))))))))))))) (not the band. Duh.)
    I signed out of the chat room and bounded down the stairs, wondering why Meryl and Caressa were so afraid of me getting busted. PLEASE. I could handle this. Had they no faith at all? My stomach growled, alerting me to the fact that I actually
was
hungry after all. I wasn’t surprised,though. Having a scheme in the works always gave me an appetite.
    My older brothers’ voices carried into the living room as I walked through it, reminding me that this was the night we were all together for dinner. I already knew, of course, but I’d forgotten. We only got together about once a month with the way everyone’s schedules conflicted. My two oldest brothers, Nathan Jr. and Gilbert, were cops down on the flats, for the Aurora and Denver Police Departments, respectively. David was in the DPD academy. Luke was a Police Explorer here in White Peaks, aka a member of the junior narc squad. (Puke.)
    As you can see, I was outnumbered by all these freakin’ GI Joes, not to mention being the only girl in the family and the only kid who would rather DIE than become a cop. Still, for better or for worse, they were my
family
. Now that Nate and Gil and David were out of the house, I didn’t mind seeing them in small doses, although their law enforcement conversations were mindnumbing at best. Luke, of course, remained a hemorrhoid on the hinter regions of my life, and I was counting the days until the screen
