“Hi
guys.”
“Hi,”
Halley said.
“Whoa!”
Ben said. “You’re …”
Jake
looked up from his broom. “Mister MacPherson.”
“Kirk.”
The distinguished looking man extended his hand.
“Kirk MacPherson.
Glad to meet you.”
They
all shook hands.
His
imposing physique was apparent through his three-piece suit.
“I
didn’t expect to see you
here,” Halley said, with a starstruck look in her eyes.
“Well
…
my name’s on the building.”
“Yeah,”
Ben said, “his name’s right out there on the building.”
Jake
shook his head.
“I
meant,” she said, “being a real
celebrity, and all …”
“Let
me tell you something,” MacPherson said, “there’s nothing real
about being a celebrity. You should remember that.”
“Yeah,”
Ben said. “You guys should remember that.”
MacPherson
smiled. “I’m here to look in on my partner. You seen him
around?”
“Doctor
Rhoads?” Jake said. “I saw him go that a-way.” He pointed at a
door.
“His
office is that a-way,” MacPherson said. “I might have guessed I’d
find him there.” He nodded to the teenagers, and took a step toward
the door.
“Um
…
Mister MacPherson?” Halley said. “Do you give … autographs?”
“Yes,
I do. But another time, okay? We’ll be seeing each other again—I
promise.”
“Okaaay,”
she drawled as he removed himself, disappearing through the doorway.
“Geesh,”
Ben said. “Haven’t you ever met a bigshot before? What a GIRL.”
She
smirked at him. “I thought you liked that, Ben.”
“Well
yeah, sometimes.”
Jake
shook his head again. “I think you’re both girls.”
“Jakey,”
Ben said, “cut me some slack, kid.”
“Benji,”
Jake said with a grin, “I don’t think I will.”
