Dear Diary

I was sitting at my desk, my headphones on, letting the music drown out everything around me. The soft hum of the melody mixed with the scratching of my pencil as I doodled character designs in my sketchbook. The pages were filled with half-finished outfits, intricate patterns, and new concepts that I'd been playing around with. It was one of those rare, quiet nights where I could just let my creativity flow without any interruptions.

But then, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a soft glow coming from my phone, lying facedown on the desk. The screen lit up, casting a faint light over my scattered pens and pencils. Curious, I turned the phone over, expecting just another notification. But when I saw Hawks' name flashing on the screen, I felt a jolt of surprise.

A call from him this late? My mind immediately raced through possibilities, my heartbeat picking up slightly. I couldn't help the small smile that crept onto my lips as I answered the call. "Hey, Sage," Hawks' voice came through the line, smooth as ever, but there was an undertone of something else—something serious.

"Hawks, what's up?" I asked, trying to keep my voice casual, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. He didn't usually call out of the blue like this, especially not late at night. "I need you," he said, with a small chuckle that did nothing to ease the tension I suddenly felt. My face heated up at the unexpected phrasing, and before I could stop myself, I blurted out, "WHAT? Shut up! What's going on?"

There was a brief pause on the other end, followed by a more serious tone from him. "We've got a last-minute mission." My heart skipped a beat, but for a different reason now. The calm, creative bubble I'd been in burst as reality came crashing back in. A mission? Now?

I quickly shut my sketchbook, pushing aside the character designs and outfit concepts. "Tonight? What's going on?" I asked, trying to process the sudden shift from a quiet night to an urgent mission.

"I know it's last minute," Hawks admitted, his tone a mix of seriousness and urgency. "But you did so well undercover last time. You were a hit! The organisation we've been monitoring closely—they're having a key meeting tonight at an exclusive club downtown. We finally have a solid lead, but it's time-sensitive. This might be our best shot at gathering intel, but we have to be careful—really careful."

I felt a knot tighten in my stomach, the weight of the mission settling in. "And by careful, you mean super secret undercover?" "Exactly," Hawks confirmed, his voice grave. "We can't risk them knowing we're there. This isn't just some low-level gang; they're organised, and they've got eyes everywhere. If we slip up, it could blow everything."
