"Hey Wren I think we should go flag down a taxi."

"Alright so they gonna take us to the hospital?"

"No they're gonna drive us to my apartment."

"Oh. Ok...I see... But why?" I leaned my elbow on the desk and held my head up on my hand.

"Remember, part one of A&A is attire. So I thought I could lend you an outfit for this ...after all we are like the same size. And we can walk from there because my apartment isn't too far."

"Oh ok...so I take it I should put my shoes back on?"

"Yea."

As I put my shoes on ,Karen grabbed her purse and put the notepad in it along with a gold-colored ballpoint pen. She put on her black coat.

"You ready?" She asked me

"Yep." I said as I rose from the chair like a body from the grave.

"Foggy, Matt just call if you need anything while we're out."

"Alright." They both said in unison.

"And call us if you find anything on this purple dude." Foggy said.

"Oh trust me I will." I said as I walked out the door pointing back at them.

11:38

We walked down stairs to the sidewalk and waited for a cab to drive by.

It took about a minute and then Karen yelled "Hey taxi!" While waving her arm. But the taxi didn't stop.
I waited for the next one to drive by. I put my two fingers in my mouth and let out a loud eery whistle.
They stopped immediately. Karen smirked.
"Karen I've been making noise for 16 years. And i've had enough time in my hands to make that noise louder." I said as we stepped into the cab.

"To the corner of 55th and Madison please." Karen told the driver.

"You got it." The cab driver yelled.

"Karen...you live far."

"Yea I know. I have to wake up to make sure I get to work on time."

I didn't say much for a while.

11:47

"Well, you're awfully quiet." She told me.

"You never discuss a covert operation aloud when outsiders are within a 5 foot radius of you." I mumbled under my breath ...low enough for only her to hear.

"Oh...right. But wouldn't covert be an over statement?"

"No...it could be, I just like the name."

"Well...I guess so."

11:53

We arrived at Karen's apartment and that's when the driver yelled "That'll be $26.47 ma'am!"

Karen passed him the money and said thanks.

Her apartment was on the third floor.
As She unlocked the door, I looked down the hall.

"come on."
When I walked in the carpet was a off-shade white and in the middle of the room there was a small patch of really light pink. You could see it with keen eyes. I was kinda curious.

"Karen I don't mean to be nosey. But why is the floor kinda pink right there?" I pointed to the spot.

As she took her coat and purse off and sat it on the table she looked where I was pointing.
"Oh,that...that's a long story. You don't have to hear it if you don't want."
