I walked into the shower, the clear water washing away today's evidence of mistakes. I learned from Dana to sometimes use false hope to my advantage, but I don't sincerely think that's what she meant. When I stepped out, the bedroom can become a shade of orange, so I pulled back the curtains to let the full view of the sunset. The sun set, the stars shone- all while the moon let light for the people of the night.

I was looking at the view for long while as I received a message from OA- it's already 10:30!

<Good job out there.>

<Thanks, you too.>

OA was my partner since I arrived at FBI. He's had my back, and I've had his. That's all a person like me really needs right now. I wouldn't have to worry about him so much if he kept on throwing himself onto a silver platter for me. Surprised that his sister had even said that they should pay me more for dealing with him. I'd be glad to deal with him without the money.

Grabbing a smaller towel to dry off the ends of my hair, my phone went off again.

<So, Mags I was thinking...>

<We should go see that new comedy movie with Jubal and Kristen.>

<Really? When? >

<I didn't think you we're the movie type.>

<I've watched movies time to time.>

< We're supposed to meet up at the Austin Multiplex Cinemas.>

<Tomorrow at 10.>

<Alright. Night.>

<Night Maggie.>

Crawling into my bed, I stared at the screen for a moment before deciding to knock out for the night with some ice cream and Law & Order. The next morning, I wasn't sure which woke me first, the sun or the city. Rolling out my bed - my neck was really, really stiff. <Should get some new pillows.> Glancing toward my alarm clock, the time read 7:42, which gave me time for a early morning jog.

My routine didn't alter much like all my other off days. I would go get myself ready to jog, come back and shower, make some chocolate cake for the neighbors downstairs, then make lunch for myself. After that I would do some excerise <I need a new punching bag> then go to sleep- but tonight I had other plans.

I looked through my closet to see if I had any non-work related clothing, but I couldn't seem to find anything in here. I grabbed a black dress with a coat and some stockings-flats should look fine with this.

The night sky in New York was as bright and glittering as ever, with the crowd flowing like a sea. Out on the street, in plain view gave me a uncomfortable feeling lodge in my gut, so I went away from the light into darker alleyways. <Snickerdoodles, I forgot to carry some sort of weapon with me.>

A man woke in front of me as I internally screamed at the sight of him. I placed a calm look on my face as I tried to pass by him, minding my business, but he seem to have taking a liking to me.

<Such a pretty face. Where ya going to tonight?> He asked. I rolled my eyes as I turned around - as watched goon walk right in front of me.

<Come'on lady, don't cha' wanna have fun?> The goon smiled as he walked closer and touched my hair. Two guys, I don't have a weapon... I have a chance of surviving.
