I just hope it works

From The Everywhere Girl Diaries – a work of fiction

Second week of March, year one

Dear Diary,

I don’t think Mr. Mallard knows what to do with me.  On one hand, he’s not at all happy that I talked to that guy last week.  He says that I put myself in danger.  On the other hand, I know he’s proud of me for finding out that the guy works for Spectrum and was a plant at Butler’s.  He’s now even more convinced than ever that the car dealership will be one of Spectrum’s seven crimes.  Now, if he can just stop it. The police have increased their surveillance and have their own plant – an undercover cop who’s pretending to be a news salesman.  I just hope it works.

All of this intrigue is making me a little tired, so I’m actually glad that I’m out of town the first part of this week. I’m at Ferris State with the speech team. Being with Mrs. Gosling is always a good thing.   I went to a bank with her today and we had a great time.  I mean all we were doing was getting some cash, and it was so much fun.
