My Uncle the Spy: Part One - Mysterious Meetings

Luci’s parents didn’t like her anymore. It had become utterly unfashionable to have a daughter. And besides, they were much too rich and way too popular to have someone like her hanging around the house any longer. So without so much as a by your leave, she was out. Out with the cat litter. Out with the dishwater and bundled off to live with an uncle she’d never even heard of ... An uncle who just happens to be a SPY!

"I’m sorry my dear but we can no longer have you in the house. We are much too rich and popular to have a creature such as yourself hanging around under our feet, discouraging the Whitby’s from attending one of our social parties. No, I’m afraid it just won’t do! Your father and I have decided that you are going to live with you uncle, in the Dark End of town. Yes, that’s it – pack your things at once. You’ve got twenty minutes."
