Tanya waited for the elevator doors to open, when they did, she stepped inside and hit the level three button. She was a little nervous since it was her first day on the job but was excited too. Her brother, Terry, helped her get the job and she was thankful for it. She was in a bit of a rush to get there, so she had no time to put her hair up, so it was messy and resting on her shoulders. The elevator beeped when it made it to the third floor, the doors opened, and she stepped out. She looked around, there were others doing their daily work of the day. She took out a piece of paper.

"Okay, where was Mick's section again?" Tanya thought. She looked at the paper. It said: Mick, room 8. She looked up at the room numbers, she followed them until she reached number eight. She took a deep breath and knocked on the glass door. She saw a silhouette walk over and they opened it. It was a man, he looked down at her.

"Can I help you, miss?" The man asked.

"Um, hi. I'm Tanya Sweet. I'm new here." Tanya introduced. She then spotted another man walking over, he looked happy to see her. It was Terry.

"Tanya! You're here! I'll take it from here, bud." Terry shooed the other guy away and Tanya walked in. Terry saw her hair was a mess. "Sis? Did you not look in the mirror this morning?" Terry asked. Tanya was confused, she pulled out her little makeup mirror and looked at herself. She jumped at what she saw. She felt embarrassed.

"Oh gosh! I was in such a rush this morning, I must've forgotten..." Tanya sighed. Terry felt sympathy for her. He nudged her and gave her a hair tie and his hair comb.

"The women's bathroom is over there. Quickly, the boss doesn't like messy hair." Terry pointed to the very end of the room. Tanya ran to the bathroom and fixed her hair up, she put it in a cute bun. She also noticed that her tie was crocked too. She was surprised Terry didn't see it. She fixed that up too. When she walked out, Terry greeted her again. "Now, let's go see the boss." Terry insisted. They walked to a big room; the door had a label that said: Mick Butcher. Tanya swallowed; she heard about Mick. She heard rumors that he was a scary guy, and he could snap you in half like a twig. Terry twisted the door handle and opened the door. They both walked in. They saw Mick wasn't facing them, he was looking out his big window, at the view of New York City. He soon turned around when he heard the door. He looked at the two siblings.

"Hello there, Tanya Sweet, I presume?" Mick asked. Tanya nodded.

"Yeah, I'm the new agent here." Tanya added. Mick smiled, his smile wasn't scary or sinister. It was friendly and cheerful. He reached his hand out. Tanya grabbed it and they shook hands.

"I'm so glad you're going to join us, Tanya. Terry has said some great things about you. So, have you done this sort of stuff before?" Mick asked.

"Yeah, I have." Tanya answered. Mick leaned down, his elbows resting on his desk.

"That's good, so you know how to get secret data and hack classified information?" Mick asked. Tanya nodded honestly. Mick was impressed. "That's wonderful, we need someone like you. So, here's how it's gonna work. We're gonna pair you up with another person that can also hack and collect secret data. You two will work together. Will that work with you?" Mick explained. Tanya was surprised at this, she was gonna have a work partner!

"Yes, that sounds great!" Tanya smiled.

"I'm glad we can agree on something. Now, the person you'll be working with is... Emily Hope. Terry, show your sister to her work area, please." Mick ordered.

"Sure, sir." Terry escorted Tanya out and led her to a cubicle. Tanya saw her new work buddy; Emily was typing away on her computer. Terry tapped her on the arm, and she stopped to look at him. "Emily, meet your new work buddy! My sister, Tanya!" Terry announced.
