Prompt: Can our goal be not to die? That seems like an awful lot to ask

"Ah a nice to see you could finally join me Mr.Bridger." A silky voice calls out.

"I'm sorry sir, it will not happen again."

"See to it agent, lets walk shall we? Now you've been called here for you mission I do assume you know what it happens to be correct?"

"Yes, sir I do."

"Good now your partner has been changed, Agent Jones has been called on to a different one so, agent storm here," as we round the corner Agent Elizabeth Storm comes into view, "will be your new partner for this. Now if I am correct the two of you have worked together before no?"

Storm jumps in before I can reply "Yes sir, we have."

"Good I expect this done by 12am, you are dismissed."

As we both walk out we glance at each other. She is the first to speak, "12 huh that seems awful early doesn't it?"

"Yes, yes it does."

*time skip*

I stare out the window, "You want me to do what?!"

"Jump out the window Bridger it's not that hard."

"Damn it Storm can't once, just once Our goal be not to die?"

"That seems like an awful lot to ask,'' she replies cheekily. I groan and roll my eyes "Fine see you on the other side Storm." And with that I close my eyes pray I don't die, and jump.
