“Akemi (pronounced Ah-kay-mee- I thought it was one of the most beautiful names I'd ever heard) didn't seem too interested in me; her attention was focused on her movie. Emiko had told me that Akemi was a sophomore, but she barely looked old enough for middle school with her hair tied back in a bow, and pastel kawaii "cute style" ribbons and lace bedazzling her school uniform and backpack. I hoped Akemi wasn't one of those supposedly innocent girls who the minute she was removed from her family's sight let her hair loose, removed layers of clothing to show off a banging bod, and became a wild party girl. Or maybe that wouldn't be so bad. Wild party-girl Akemi might be a lot more fun than drive-to-school girl Akemi, who hardly had two words to say.”

“Уже хорошо отработанным приемом они встали рядом, точно так же, как когда взламывали дверь в магазин Корзинщика, сформировав треугольник. Сью с Фионой встали под прямыми углами друг к другу, закрывая своими телами Дэйзи, которая, повернувшись к шкафчику, присела, сделав вид, будто завязывает шнурки. Фиона, болтая со Сью, как бы между прочим должна обронить кодовую фразу: «яблочный крамбл», как только горизонт будет чист. В качестве двойного уровня защиты Сью должна подтвердить, что все действительно безопасно и с ее стороны, и сказать «с кремом».”
