you you Okay, Brindley, you in there? Yes, Freak Show. I am in the stall next to you, and for the record... Gross. We're here to conduct an experiment. I need to see if I can read your mind without seeing your face, since we have this lovely wall between us. Don't they ever clean this place?
Since we have this lovely wall between us, I'll be near you without being influenced by your body language. I am seriously not down with you peering into the dark recesses of my brain holiday. You might steal one of my many incredible marketing ideas for self-promotion. I promise you, I'm not interested in a onesie with your face on it. Ugh, you peaked. Give me a break.
You have an entire Kickstarter page for your Brinley Snuggly with a GH. Again. And I haven't been able to check it since we left Juno. Who knows how many people have donated? I don't since your parents took my phone. Come on, focus. Clear your mind. I'll give you something to imagine and I'll see if I can figure out what it is. Okay, clearing. Go. You're thinking...
I'm a cheater and that technically you'll always be smarter than me because I'm a lab rat and you're a normal person. Well, I wouldn't call myself normal, but that was pretty close. I wasn't actually trying. That was a guess. Oh. Well, facts. Okay, now for real. Think of a memory from when you were little. Something super specific. Okay, um... I'm ready. Uh, let's see. Is it your dad taking you to...
when you were nine? You were wearing a red coat and hat with a husky on it. And you got to pet a dog. Eh, no. I was thinking about the magical time Daddy and I went turkey hunting before Thanksgiving when I was 10. Although, that dog sled thing did happen. And I still have that hat. At least I did before the fire. Freaky.
So, maybe it's not a direct pull? I just get some memory that's rattling around in your brain. My brain doesn't rattle. I didn't say... Never mind. Let's try again. Think about something to do with school. Okay, got it. Think hard. There's no such thing as thinking hard.
You either think or you don't. So do you have it? Calculus, you got an award for achieving a perfect score on the Math Olympics trial test. Yes, of course I did. But again, wrong. What? But I saw it so clearly. You got your picture. What was the name of my oboe teacher who was arrested for shoplifting tuna? Shoplifting tuna from the Juno fish market. Miss Jennifer Monroe, 306 French Street. Boom, nailed it. That's it. I get it now. Get what? What you do. You're not psychic freak.
Wait, hold on. I want to enjoy this moment. What moment? The moment I figured something out that you didn't. The moment I understand how your superpowers work and you don't have a freaking clue. Man, this is a good day. This is the best day. I love this place. Arkansas is the best. Brinley? Brinley, did you leave? Brinley! Patrick there has to be a mistake
There's no way Cyrus is working with Whittier Corp. Birdie, you heard the same thing I did when I dialed that number. Angelica Graves answered. She greeted Cyrus by name, asked him for the latest update, and according to the call log on this phone, he had hidden... his backpack. He's been calling her every day for the last three weeks. But... I don't understand it either, but I think Cyrus is the reason Whittier Corp always knows where to find us.
We gotta find your brother. He can't get away with this. No, Badger. Hey, give me the phone back. This isn't a joke. Cyrus is putting our lives at risk. Don't say that. He's my brother. He wouldn't do something like that. He is doing something like that. I know Cyrus is weird, but he's probably the most awesome caring best to him being i've ever known he loves our family more than he loves nikola tesla whoever that is
I'm telling you, you would never want to hurt us. But, Birdie, the phone... My house burned down, Badger. I had to walk away from my friends, my school. My whole life back in Juneau. Please don't break up my family too. Please don't take my brother from me. Don't cry, Bertie. The last thing I want to do is take him away from you, but we can't pretend this isn't happening. You know that, right? Can I just have a minute to figure out what to do? Take your time. I'll be right here.
Here they come. How'd the bathroom experiment go, girls? Were you able to read Brinley's mind, Holiday? Well, short answer? No. Long, pure genius answer as discovered by Brainy Brinley herself. Holiday doesn't read minds. She reads data. Mic drop. Wait, what do you mean she reads? She knew all about stuff I've posted online or uploaded to social media, like she was looking at the pictures. But my personal memories?
How I bagged four turkeys with Daddy when I was ten, or how I gave the most amazing report on Ruth Bader Ginsburg last year. She had no clue about that. You have a lot of range, Brindley. Point is, those are special memories in my head. I didn't post about them. No pictures were taken.
So you're suggesting that Holiday is somehow accessing information that's available through the internet? That actually makes a lot of sense. It fits in with Holiday's ability to hack into stuff and learn things quickly. Nicely done, Burnley. Nicely done, indeed. You don't need powers to be a genius. Thanks for reminding me. Yes, thank you, Brinley. You did good. I know. Let's do it. How about I start with elbows?
Oops, Cyrus, we need to talk. Later, Birdie. We just figured out something major about Holiday. This can't wait. Shh, I want to watch this. Go play a game and come back when she's done. Okay, just remember, you made me do this. Where'd you get that? Is that a cell phone, Bertie? Where did you find it? Tell me it isn't true, Cyrus. Tell me what I heard when I hit redial on that phone is wrong. Tell me you're not the reason Angelica Graves always knows where to find us.
