Steve paces around the breakroom as he ate a banana and Russian spills through a tape recorder.

Dustin sits soundly, listening at the table.
Evie lays her head on the table and listens.

Dustin clicked pause. "So what do you think?" Dustin asks.

"Something sounds familiar." He spoke while eating the last bite of his banana.

"What?" Dustin asked, surprised.
"The music. The music right there at the end." He wipes his mouth.

"Why are you listening to the music, Steve? Listen to the Russian. We were translating Russian. " Dustin stormed.

Evie sleeps soundly on the table, soft snores coming from her.

"I'm trying to listen to the Russian." Steve shouts.

Dustin shakes Evie to awake her.
Steve taps his arm away.
"Let her sleep. She got a lot going on." Steve spoke, moving a few strands of hair out of her face.

"You care?" Dustin asked with a knowing grin.

Steve reeled his hand back from her face and put it on his hips.

"No...I.I..don't, I just know she doesn't have a lot of time to sleep." He said, trying to cover himself.

"Aww, you care." Dustin said in a baby voice.

"I do not." Steve said, pointing at the curly haired boy.

"All right, babysitting time is over." Robin voiced storming through the door.
Evie jumps at the loud banging sound and the booming of her voice.

"You need to get in there." She advises, noticing her whiteboard.

"Hey, my board. That was important data shit birds. Minus you Evie." Robin yelled.

"I guarantee you what we're doing is way more important than your data." Dustin stated, waving his hands in surrender.

"Yea? And how do you know these Russians are up to no good anyway?" Robin asked her arms flowing next to her.

"How does she know about the Russians? Did you tell her?" Dustin accused Evie.

"Dude, I didn't say shit." Evie spoke, rolling her eyes.

"Hello, I can hear you. Actually, I can hear everything. You are both extremely loud. You think you have evil Russians plotting against our country, on tape, and you're trying to translate,
but haven't figured out a word because you didn't realize Russians use an entirely different alphabet. Sound about, right?" She asked as the boys were too shocked to even form a word.

Evie giggled to herself and high fived Robin.

Robin went after the tape, but Steve beat her to it, Bundling it in his arms.

"Whoa! What do you think you're doing?"Steve said.

"I wanna hear it." She spoke.

"Why?" Steve and Dustin asked.

"Cause maybe I can help. Im fluent in four languages, you know." She said as a matter of fact.

"Russian?"Dustin asked.
"Ou-yay are-yay umb-day." She slowed her speech.

Evie giggled to herself, knowing they were gonna fall for it.

"Oh-ho-ho." Steve laughed, shocked.
"Oh shit." Dustin smiled.

"That was pig Latin, dingus." She teased.
"Idiot." Steve said while hitting Dustin with his banana peel.

"You both are idiots." Evie told the boys.
Steve just made a face at her.
