The room phone started ringing. I groaned and got up to answer it. "Hello?" I answered, not afraid to show how tired I was. "Agent Silent! Dan texted you!"

"God damnit Wilkie. I was sleeping! I need sleep! A text from Dan isn't important right now." I yelled into the phone. "Just see what it says, Ash." She hung up. I guess Ash is my nickname then. I groaned. I think Dan would be okay to wait a few minutes for a reply.

When I picked up my fake phone, I saw that the text had not been recent.

//Hey JJ, wanna hang out some time today?//
-Dan Howell 3 hours ago

3 hours ago? Well at least Savannah didn't wake me up immediately. I replied. I needed to hang out with him. But he can't come to my home because... well. I live at headquarters. And he can't really know that I'm an agent trying to kill him.

//Yes Howell. I would love to. Where at?//

I was hoping he would say his place but then again, Phil could be there. Phil can't know me. I sighed. I started changing into a casual day outfit and did my hair in a style we agents like to call "Nervous Hang Out." It's exactly what it sounds like. I want Dan to think I like him so we become closer. Unless he already has a relationship... I'll just figure that information out today.

The style was down but barely curled and parted to look natural off to the side or in the middle. I did it off to the side a little. I also gave it some body so it looked natural. I wanted a natural look but also to kind of look like I had tried to get it that way, but not too much. Being a girl agent is hard, but explaining it is even harder.

The makeup is a little easier. I'm not allowed to have an opinion on if I like makeup or not but to be honest, I will choose not to have much makeup on if I had the option. I put on the exact makeup I had on yesterday - very little mascara and eye liner and foundation- but the slightest bit heavier. I have to see even the smallest of details in everything. It's my job after all.

"That's good." I mumbled and sighed. I turned to pick up my phone from off the bed. I started walking but then conveniently tripped over air. I fell onto the floor and laid there for a second. I laughed at myself. I was so clumsy.

I was about to get up when I noticed something under the bed. "What's this?" I asked myself and crawled over to it. I was small enough to fit under the bed and grab the mysterious object without hurting myself. The real challenge was getting back out with it in my hands. After a few tries, I eventually got out. I sat down with it in front of me.

It was a box. It was also all black with gold designs on the perimeter. I smiled at myself. How did I even notice this? I turned it around and looked for a way to open it. Then I noticed something. "Of course it's locked with a key!" I groaned and sighed. I pushed it back under and out of sight. I would deal with it later.

I stood up and grabbed my phone to see that I got a message from Dan. We then just started a conversation back and forth.

Dan: Idc where ever really
Me: Haha you ask me to hang out but you don't have it planned? Smh Howell
Dan: Lolzor sorry. Maybe the Starbucks on the street we met on or the park down the road?
Me: Did you just say "lolzor"? Please tell me I misread that..
Dan: Haha no I meant it ironically I swear!
Me: Suuree whatever. I'm voting for the park. I've never been
Dan: You've never been to the park?
Me: Dan James Howell, I've been to A park before but not the one in London. I've only been here for less than a week
Dan: Well then Jaden June Alex, we're going to the park then. Shall I pick you up at your wonderful home or should we meet there?
Me: You don't know if it's wonderful or not. And no sorry. I'll meet you there. I have to run somewhere before then and I'll be okay so haha don't worry cx
Dan: Okay then. I'll meet you there :)

I hated texting so much. I put on my shoes and walked down to Savannah's room. I knocked on the door. "It's Ashley." I said before she could ask who it was. I heard her laugh a little before opening the door. She handed me a small mic that I clipped onto my jacket and an ear piece that I placed in my ear. I made sure the mic was hidden, just like yesterday.

"Ready?" She asked me. I nodded. "Let's go then."

"It's beautiful outside today." I said out loud to Dan. I heard Savannah try to hold in her laughter in my ear. There were no video cameras around the park so she only had audio. I think this was the moment she realized how much she loved video footage. Another bad thing was that without video to look at, Savannah commented on everything she heard. A dog barks and she says, "I bet that dog was cute." Some guy starts talking next to us and she whispers, "He sounds hot."

I looked over at Dan and he was staring down at me with a small smile on his face. My smile grew bigger and I laughed. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I playfully hit his arm and he laughed. Dan looked away and then back down at me. He was so beautiful- Wait. No Ashley. You can't afford these thoughts!

I must keep telling myself that he must like me and I must like him, but only as an act.

"I don't know." He replied. Then there was silence. It wasn't an awkward silence but a peaceful one. A beautiful silence as we walked. Then I asked him a question. "The other day, you said you recognized me, but it's not possible. We've only just met."

He stopped and sat down in the grass. I sat down in front of him and stared at him. "Well." I could tell Savannah was listening closely. I kinda didn't want her to. I felt like this was privet. But on my missions, there was no privacy. Everything I knew was public information for the company only.

"It was just a thought really. I think I had a dream with you in it." Dan continued. "A dream..?" Savannah whispered, clearly just as confused as I was. I shook my head and looked away. "You can only have a dream with people you've seen before." I paused. "What happened in your dream?" I asked and turned to him.

"It was like a flash of a dream inside a dream before I woke up. I was dreaming about something else when suddenly you appeared. You were in a white kind-of-lacy dress and you were just staring at me. The wind blew and your hair and dress swayed peacefully. Before I could do anything, you held up a gun and shot me. Then I woke up." Dan sighed and then laughed at himself. "I know it sounds stupid. I just-" he stopped himself.

I smiled. "No. I asked you what happened. It doesn't sound stupid. And Dan, I would never hurt you." I lied about the last part. I would have to hurt him someday by breaking his trust and killing him. I clenched my fist in anger. I really had to do that someday..

"But another part of the dream wasn't realistic." Dan looked over at me. "Why's that?" I was curious on what he had to say. "Oh no." Savannah whispered. Did she know what he was going to say?

"My dream didn't capture your true beauty. Jaden, you're much better in real life." He smiled.

I felt my cheeks heat up. No Ashley. You're not allowed to like him.

"If you fall in love with him, you're screwed." Savannah whispered.
