"What did you find out?" The man reclined in his seat, smoking his cigar.

"He's here sir, Delta spotted him with an unidentified person who seems to be with him wherever he goes" The assistant placed the pictures on his mahogany desk.

The man took the pictures and examined them.

"Find out who he's with." He placed the photos back on the desk, "And tell Delta to keep a close eye on him"

"Yes sir" The assistant walked out of the office.

"The president will see him die, then right after, he's next" He blew a puff of smoke.

"State your report Agent Besson"

"We have no specific suspect that we're eyeing on right now. Agent Marais and I have been keeping a close eye on certain individuals" The blonde stood before his superiors, "Daniel Seavey, Christina Marie Harris, Zachary Dean Herron, naming a few of them"

"And what relevancy do they have with this case?" Agent Vegas asked from his chair.

"Those individuals have tried to interact with us-"

"So that means they must be suspects? Agent Besson you know better than to waste our precious time." Agent Gustapo, the most vicious of them all. He never cared if Corbyn failed his missions, he just wanted him out of their line of work. "Your father can be dead any second, this mission is important to the well being of this country and you present us with this kind of report?"

Corbyn bit the side of his cheek.

"We are trying our best sir. Agent Marais and I-"

"That does not seem like it all." Agent Vegas stood from his chair, "We will see you again next week and by then, we assume you would have something helpful"

The agents stood from his chair and walked out of the room. One of them, Agent Maria, patted him on the back and sent him a small smile before heading out of the room, her long brown hair swaying behind her.

After a few moments, Corbyn walked out of the room and saw Jonah standing near the door, waiting for him.

"Not good?" Jonah asked him.

"You know it" Corbyn scoffed, "Those old bastards don't accept our progress"

Jonah just smiled.

"We better go, the chopper is waiting for us"

They quickly headed out the building, the Washington air hitting them.

Monday rolled in and before he knew it, Corbyn was sitting next to Daniel in the lab again.

"Will you actually talk to me this time?" Daniel asked the blonde.

Corbyn gave him a strange look.

"Are you talking to me?"

"No, I'm talking to the worksheet" Daniel rolled his eyes, "How are you so good at this anyways? I only saw you come to our school last monday and even then you were like a braniac"

"I don't know" Corbyn shrugged and continued working on the worksheet, "It's simple"

"This shit ain't simple at all!" Daniel waved his hands dramatically in the air, "Mr. Sprouse doesn't even teach half of this shit"

"What's up with you? You've never been this interactive with me"

"Well Cory" Daniel emphasized on his fake name, "I'm tired of silently sitting on this chair every Monday"

"What's wrong with silence?"

"What- I'm not exactly the silent type ya know. I go to parties, drink, make lots of friends, and on and on."

"You don't exactly look like an extrovert"

"That's not the point! Sure, I only walk around with Zach and Christina but that's the reason why 'friends' and 'bestfriends' are different" Daniel fiddled with his pen, "You see 'friends' are fun to be with, but bestfriends, they'll be there for you through thick and thin. The good and bad times in life. Don't you have them?"

"Jonah... I guess" Corbyn mumbled.

"Ha! I knew you were a sociopath" Daniel grinned. "Anyways, want to hang out with me later?"

"No"

Daniel flinched at how blunt it sounded, "Ouch that hurt..."

"But why not?" Daniel gave him his best puppy eyes.

"We're not even close. You're just my lab partner"

"Ok stop hurting me doofus!"

"Doofus? What are you? A kid?"

"You're impossible" Daniel huffed, "But pleaseeeee. Zach's sick and Christina has a meeting with another modeling agency."

"Can't you handle being alone?"

"I can't!" Daniel put his hand on his chest dramatically, "My heart aches for thy company! Save me Cory!"

"Stop people are looking at you and my answer's still no"

"But whyyyyy"

"Shhh I'm trying to finish the worksheet that you're not helping me with"

"Hmpt. Fine I'll just ask your 'friend' Jonah then. He looks more sociable than you"

"Can you please shut up?"

"Not until you say yes" Daniel clapped excitedly, "Come on! I want to check out that new ice cream shop! You get to know more of amazing me!"

"What do I get in knowing more about you?"

Then suddenly, an idea sprung to Corbyn's head. "Know more about Daniel Seavey... this might work"

"Hey! You okay? I think you zoned out" Daniel waved in front of his face

"I was just thinking" Corbyn set his pen down and turned towards Daniel, "Where was this new ice cream store you talked about?"

"It's on- wait! Is that a yes? Ooh we can just drive there ya know. I have my car-"

"Stop talking for a second" Corbyn rubbed his forehead, "This doesn't mean we're friends alright. I just have nothing to do later"

"Deal!"

~~~~~~~~~

At the end of the class, Corbyn walked up to Jonah and told him his plan.

"That might help" Jonah slung his backpack over his shoulders, "In the meantime, I want to research on someone and it might help our mission"

"Who?"

Jonah looked around them, making sure no one can hear but them,
"Tatum Dahl"
