THEY ARRIVED back at HQ and without wasting any time,zoomed to Mission Intelligence to report information.

"It seems like Mahone is going on a trip in a few days to somewhere,but I don't know exactly to where.Could you check it up for me please?"I said to his mission controller,Joe Vaughn.

"Okay,I will get information for you.Meanwhile,how are things going on with my daughter?"

Joe was the father of Dana,her full name being Dana Vaughn,and he was pleased that Dana,a secretary of Mahone,was dating me ,as I,as an ex-LAPD cop and now a full time Falcon agent,I could protect Dana.But I wasn't so sure about myself,as I knew about the downsides of the job and I knew he could get killled or tortured by enemies and he would die,leaving nobody to protect Dana and her in sorrow.

Still,Dana was a nice girl.She had known me from their high school days,when I defended Dana against somebody undesirable...Magnus mentally shook himself.There was no time for recollections.He had to focus on the mission at hand.

"Ehm..things are fine,Mr Vaughn,I'm actually meeting Dana tonight."I always called Joe by his surname with the 'Mr' in front,as it was a form of respect.

"Oh,that's splendid! You know the rules."He said in an undertone to me,winking and then burst out laughing.I could do nothing but laugh sheepishly at Mr Vaughn's joke,while on the inside I rolled his eyes and thought,'dad jokes'.

I dropped Tanya off at Delizioso first,then went back home to Long Beach where Dana was waiting for me.She was dressed up in a blue dress,with a Louis Vutton handbag that I had bought her for her birthday a few months ago.

She got into the Porsche 918 Spyder that Magnus had traded his Mustang for in the garage stocked with cars for all occasions that his deceased dad had gifted him when he joined the LAPD.His father had been a successful businessman and was loaded with money,Senior having 2 mansions in Orchard Road,a villa in Holland Road and a private jet he used to travel on business and leisure purposes.

"Magnus,where are we going?"Dana asked,while texting her best friend,Roxayn.She was smiling and squealing every 10 seconds,as if Roxayn was there with her,talking to her.

"You'll see.Anyway,what's with all the squealing?Is it that Roxayn character again?"I asked irritably.Roxayn and me have a longgggggg history.

"Oh come ON Magnus.Just forget it!Seriously,if the two of you continue this,it won't be settled even when we're in heaven!"Dana said seriously,almost screaming at me to forget all the clash-ups between the two of them.

"Well,if she keeps hogging you everytime I wanna hang out,why's it my fault?"I shot back.Dana just skulked in her seat,using her most reserved sulky face in front of me,hinting faintly that he should apologise.After a few uncomfortable minutes,while at a stop light,I turned to her.

"All right,all right,I'm wrong."I tried looking into her eyes,but she just turned away.

"Sorry."She was still turned away to the window,but I could see her tense frame relax a bit;I learned how to in the police academy.It was one of those skills they taught you that you kept it for the rest of your life.The light turned green,and I started driving again.I thought as I drove,thinking along the lines of Austin Mahone,trying to figure out what Mahone was planning.

Suddenly,I made a decision,a life decision that was completely abstract from Mahone.
