The Pluto Project

It starts off as a way to pass the time. Alan and his friends are hanging out in the culvert under the road when they start to read into the conversations they hear above their heads. Isn't "How's it goin'?" really code for "What's the status report?" And maybe "I love you" actually means that another victim has been chosen. Clues seem to be everywhere. Then the governor is assassinated, and Alan starts to think that his spy ring is not just a game.
