I roll over on my side and grab my phone off the nightstand. The bright screen turns on to tell me the time is 8:26 a.m. on October 9th and I have three new messages from Tyler.

----------

Tyler

Elena we have an emergency, we need you at the pentagon

Be here at 9am

Where are you???

----------

My mouth drops in horror as I look back at the time. Damn it. I'm 30 minutes late. I hurry and rush around trying to throw all of my clothes on. Of course, in the process I end up jabbing my right foot against one of the legs of my bed then start hobbling on my left leg and holding onto my right foot in pain. I grabbed my black military jacket to cover my arms out in the rain today. I grab onto black three inch heels then run out of my closet and look out the window to the left of my vanity. It is raining heavily, very cloudy, and super foggy. We're supposed to have a bad storm today anyway. I quickly wash my face and put on red lipstick, mascara, and eye liner. My phone chimes again and I look at the text from Tyler.

Tyler

Elena! Where are you! It's been an hour!

----------

I roll my eyes and say out loud "Hold your damn horses" then text back.

----------

Elena

I'll be there in 10, I thought you said the meeting was at 5 today?

Tyler

Well I changed my mind, it's about the palace maid Margret

Elena

What?

I grab my black purse and keys to my black Bugatti. I ran down the stairs and out the back doors to our 16 car garage. I quickly unlock the doors, jump in my car, turn the ignition on and take off going from 0 to 100mph real quick. I race down the highway panicking because it's already 9:23. I finally get to the exit that leads to our fancy federal city in the Persianian capital. Our federal courts, the pentagon, judicial buildings, legislative buildings, executive buildings, and a lot more. The federal city is around two miles away from the 'present' Persianian castle. The gates to the pentagon open before I even get there, this really must be urgent.

I pull into the parking spot that is specially reserved for me and jump out of my car, grab my purse, and run into the pentagon quickly. I rush to the 3rd floor and run towards the east wing where my office is.

I open the door and immediately stumble in my tracks in shock "What the hell are you guys doing with my maid? Why is she tied up?" I close the door and walk over to her and try to take the ropes and chains off her.

Tyler wraps his arms around my waist pulling me from her.

My eyes go dark orange "Why is my maid tied up?"

Margret begins wailing in ancient wolf tongue.

My eyes go black, I cast a spell to zip her lips "Tyler, you got 5 minutes to explain what the hell is going on!"

"We've been hunting down any spies since Diane said to be careful when you return home. We decided to do background checks on everyone and hers was a little skeptical so we decided to spy on her and she betrayed our Kingdom by giving secret Persianian information to Mikeal before the war!"
