“Crap!” Adina said. “What’s the name of that thing that always stops the bomb in the movies?”

“Manual system override,” Nicole repeated.
“Mmm-hmm. Stops it.”
“Agent Jones,” Nicole asked carefully. “Do you know how to override the system manually?”

“Apologize,” he said.

“Apologize or no system override.”

“Apologize!” everyone screamed.
“Okay! I am sorry … Man Flower.”
The agent wrapped her in a big hug. “It’s PowerPoint.”
“I apologize, PowerPoint,” Jennifer said through lips crushed against Agent Jones’s chest.

“Oh, hey,” Nicole said, averting her eyes.
Shanti sat down at the computer. “We’re making a PowerPoint, Teen Dreams.”

Tiara looked over her shoulder. “Ooh, put in the picture with the mountains. That one was so pretty.”
“Fifty-nine. Fifty-eight. Fifty-seven …”
