Chapter 3On their sixth night of chatting together, Shamus seemed to be less talkative than usual. Miguel noticed his change in mood right away. After only forty minutes of small talk, Shamus wrote, I’m going to have to sign off early tonight. We have an important meeting in the morning. There’s a mission, a project, coming up, and we’re going to be told which of us will be chosen to take part. It’s a really big deal, top secret. We’ve been hearing rumors about it for some time, and now we’re going to finally find out what the deal is, and which of us will be involved. I’ll be able to tell you a little about it tomorrow night, what little I’m allowed to share with you, anyway. And I’ll be able to tell you whether I’ll be involved.
Feeling a little disappointed their chat would be cut shor
