My sister therefore assumed I had to be\u00a0Jason. But Tessa knew I was out. What would happen when she saw me here? Freya studied me closely while I plotted my game under the pretense of searching for the right words.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>I need new clothes<\/em>,&#8221; I told her. &#8220;Mr President,&#8221; I added when Freya arched one eyebrow and darted furtive glances at the secret service guys. &#8220;Like I wear at my gigs,&#8221; I prompted. Jason&#8217;s signature getup included a broad-brimmed hat and a kerchief over his face, as well as a flowing velvet cape, all in tones of vermillion. It might be enough to keep Tessa from recognizing me.<\/p>\n<p>Freya and the secret service agents left me alone in the room, but they didn&#8217;t leave the birthday cake. An hour later, freshly attired, I was escorted to a meeting room where Freya &#8212; still impersonating her twin, Thor &#8212; sat at the head of the table. Tessa sat to her left. The candles were no longer lit, but the cake was <em>nevertheless distinctly visible<\/em> in the center of the table.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jason will rap for us now,&#8221; Freya announced.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That <em>actually sounds kind of great<\/em>,&#8221; Tessa said before I could beg off. She smiled at me. I <em>looked the beautiful girl right in the eye<\/em> and saw no hint of a double agenda. Excuses occurred to me, ways that I could get out of performing, but that eager, happy smile on her lovely face was too wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>Another secret service guy had a deck with two turntables, from which a heavy beat commenced. I imitated Jason&#8217;s trademark dance step, mincing like a rooster that had to pee really bad. Everyone else started clapping to the beat. I waited for it to come around and dove in.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My favorite spy, her code name should be nitroglycerin.\u00a0Cause she&#8217;s gonna blow it up, make counteragents disappearin&#8217;. She must be handled with care, cause she&#8217;s unstable and reactive.
