The Crow Flies Only at Midnight...

Saturday, at breakfast
We are discussing an upcoming art project Ava has due on Monday…

Ava suddenly says: "Do you Recognize the Path of the Lion"?

Renee and I look at each other.

Renee: "Where did you hear that"?

Me: I believe that's the code phrase they use to activate the Child Assassins so they can come for us while we sleep.

Renee: "Great... now I'm totally freaked out".

Ava: under her breath…"Im an assassin".

I get up.

Renee: "Where are you going"?

Me: Upstairs to make sure the lock on my door works.
