Mom and Dad's Merry Christmas Mission

I just got a call from my Dad. (No cell phone. Duh. He called the office) I rushed down to talk to him. He has to go on a mission. Mom is going with him. I will have to spend the holidays at Gallagher. Not that I don't like my school, just I was so excited to see my parents and I never suspected this could happen. Mom and Dad are mostly retired. Mom mostly just teaches and does office work. Dad travels around a lot giving talks and briefings. An old mission opened up. They are going as their old covers (romantic couple get away) returning years later.

They called to let me know and ask if that would be ok. Of course I said "Yes, go ahead. I'll be fine."

But I'm a spy. We lie.
