  I ran into headquarters, more directly to the disguise floor. I dressed up and became Lilly I put everything back, except the contacts. I was a copy of Lilly. When agents die we keep their I.D.s that's our covers. It is quite morbid in a way. I ran home, not breaking a sweat. I opened the door, actually is was only slightly closed. Exactly how I left it.
  I walked into the kitchen, Demi was sitting there eating her eggs.
  "I'm back!" I yelled. Demi turned around quickly. I probably looked like a stranger coming into her house, actually I looked like the body guard she had for a few days.
  "Ms. Lovato." I said playfully. She blinked trying to believe it was actually me. She pinched herself too. I was very awkward. Eh, when in doubt hug Demi. I hugged her, she made me feel so short sometimes. My arm went around her stomach. I had long red hair as Lilly, it actually reached my butt. I stepped away.
  "See Demi." I said trying to explain. I lead her to her bathroom, which I saw in the layout. I took off the wig and the contacts and finally grabbed a makeup wipe from my pocket and wiped off the makeup. I was now, Lizzy wait actually I was Emily. She looked at me like an alien. It all added up though.
  "Well Ms. Lovato you believe me now?" I asked sarcastically.
  "Well Emily, I do believe you. Did you like your trip with me?" She laughed. Actually it was very boring but I wouldn't tell her. Actually I will.
  "It was very boring. My granola bars didn't taste very well. When you were sleeping my phone almost died so I had to charge it instead of playing games." I replied very honestly. Was that too honest?
  "Why didn't you eat something else then granola bars, that is very creepy also." Demi responded.
  "I can't eat anything heavy for that would slow me down. Also it's kind of my job, I have watched many people sleep.  Some of them snore." I replied while checking my phone. I had tomorrow off because this mission was pretty long. Demi chuckled.
  "I have tomorrow off." I said randomly without looking up from my phone. I had two missions next week and would have to leave Sunday night. I would be home on Wednesday for a few hours also.
  "Me too, actually I'm only working this Wednesday so other than that its just me and you." Demi said with a smile.
  "I leave Sunday night, then I come back on Wednesday for a few hours and then leave again." I said quickly. I looked at Demi, she was frowning. I guess it's harder than I thought to balance work and family. 
  "I can talk to the team I'm working with to see if they can move it back a day if you want?" I asked.
  "It's fine I'm sure they have families too." Demi said with a frown. What she didn't realise was how off that was.
  "No,I'm working with older people, this is  very dangerous mission so we got the highest level agents for it, maybe they will understand. I will make some phone calls and see if they can do it." I said not waiting for Demi's opinion. I checked my watch quickly, 7.
  I walked out of the room into the living room to make the calls. I called the three other agents on this mission and they said it was fine and they understood. I have known and worked with these agents for a long time, they're practically like family to me. I walked back into the kitchen.
  "They said it's fine." I said while sitting down. We were talking for longer than I thought. Demi nodded.
  "Do you do missions with them often?" Demi asked emphasizing on them.
  "Yeah, their practically like family. I see them alot. I do the majority of missions with them." I said not giving a second thought. I was ready for bed, I need to sleep but I wasn't going to tell Demi that of course.
  "Nice." Demi said with a hint of jealousy, almost not being able to be picked up. I wasn't going to say anything.
  "I'm going to bed." I said tiredly. Demi nodded cleaning up the kitchen quickly. I changed into black short shorts and a black tinktop. I wear black quite a bit. I checked the time, 9. I talked to the agents longer than I thought. I felt the bed dip beside me, she sure likes to snuggle. I turned around to face her. She changed into a tinktop and some worn grey sweats. Her hair was in a tight top bun.
  She looked into my hazel eyes. (Just in case you forgot.) Her warm chocolate eyes searched my face. I didn't have something on my face did I, haha I'm funny. I turned around again facing the wall. She pulled me into her. How was she so warm, a human heater. I set an alarm quickly on my watch barely moving my arms, 6 it is. Just because I'm not working doesn't mean I don't have to stay in shape. I'll probably go for a 20 mile run. Be back by 7. I cuddled into Demi. Her arm drape across my side. She already fell asleep I could hear her steady deep breaths.
  I fell asleep quickly, feeling warm and safe. Even though I could protect her more than she could me. It's a new feeling for me, safe and protected. No one who had adopted me before gave me that feeling, actually they gave me the opposite. I would not speak of them. It was horrible though. Demi was a safe zone. I didn't know why though, but I wanted to know. I needed to know why this twenty year old could make me feel like nothing bad was out there. Invincible, is what she made me feel.
