(In perspective of Cassandra):
I walked down the hallways that I had grown familiar with, grew up with, I knew every crack and crevice. I was fidgeting my hands in a nervous manor. I was slightly afraid of going to the office, I mean I hadn't done anything wrong, but maybe I hadn't realized it was wrong at the time? I mean, they wouldn't pull me out of a meeting if it wasn't important. I neared the door and my hand started to grow clammy. I started shaking and my hand started inching towards the doorknob. As my hand grabbed the handle, I collected myself, taking a deep breath, turning the doorknob and pushing the door open. I was met by Zanas smiling face. I felt a bit more relaxed. "Cassandra! Thanks for coming! It's so good to see you! Take a seat!"
"Please don't have something be wrong please don't have something be wrong." I kept saying in my head as I awkwardly sat down in the chair. Zana looked me in my nervous eyes and said, "Oh for goodness sake Cass, you have nothing to be concerned about your not in trouble!" My body lost its tenseness and I let out a relaxed sigh.
"Then what did you need me here for?"
"Actually, I need a favor." She looked into my eyes, almost pleading me to say yes.
"Um sure, what is it?" I was curious.
"Hmmm well where do I start? There's this boy, Matthew Crustello, my nephew actually, he's going on a little trip and needs some protection, I mean other than his team of course." She looked at me, expecting an answer.
"I'd love to go.." I started,
"Awesome!! I'll get you packed and ready..."
"Zana, let me finish. But, what about my secret agent shift? Who's gonna fill it?" I asked her.
"We have an intern that's been dying to get into the field, I'm sure they can handle it, plus it's an opportunity for you to get a break." Zana told me.
Well, I did need a break, plus, guarding a kid should be easy, a piece of cake actually. I started nodding my head and I took her hand and shook it.
"Sure, I can do that." Zana gave me a warm smile. I got up and started to leave. I wanted to look back at her and have a nice catch up conversation like we used to, but it was time to prepare for the next mission, time to focus. Plus , afterwards, I could call in a favor from Zana to give me access to the security camera room, so I could figure out what that kid was in the off limits zone for. I entered the garage and found a couple people waiting by a van.
"Alright! Let's get this show on the road!"
