I woke up in an upright position on the chair I had been sitting on. Great. Now I'm sore. I sat up and stretched, and found my dad on the phone again, with his back facing me. "No, I haven't offered yet; she blacked out when I told her about her info, but I intend to ask her when she wakes up," he was saying.

I felt rude eavesdropping, so I cleared my throat and stood up. "Where are the bathrooms?" I asked stiffly. My dad turned around and pointed left, third door, he told me. I strode out of the room, eager to be free.

Waking on the balcony, I was jostled by the many people hustling around. I stayed near the wall, counting the doors, which were sadly spread far apart. Suddenly I ran straight into someone, who was looking at at a map on the wall. I jumped backwards, nearly stepping on someone's toe. "I'm sorry, I-I wasn't paying attention," I stammered. "It's fine; I was in your way," he said. He had a deep voice. He was wearing a hooded jacket and dark clothes, like a ninja, but lots of people around here do; they probably are ninjas. All that I could really see we're his deep green eyes. He seemed young. "Are you...looking for something?" I asked timidly. "Yeah, Agent Lyon's office," he said looking back at the map. "Oh!" I exclaimed. "I know where it is! Second door that way!" I told him, not believing that I had been helpful. He smiled, I could tell by his eyes he was smiling, and he said, "Thanks," and he walked past me. My heart fluttered. But I fall hard for like every guy I meet. Hopeless romantic-ism.

I went to the bathroom and then hurried off to my dad's office. Part of me wished the guy would be there, but I mean, c'mon. Really. I opened the door, and found my dad standing, pointing a gun across the room. I looked over, startled, and discovered the very man I'd sent here on the other side of the room, playing with a dagger.

I froze. Right there in the doorway, I froze.

The man turned to look at me, and I see his face fully.

His green eyes. Dark brown hair. I notice his muscular build. And the sword sheath hanging at his side.

And I prepare.

Because standing in front of me is The Master Assassin.

And he is going to kill me.
