One Step Outside [Book 1]

Prologue

"Heather Arrowood lives with the Stormheart Clear-up team. Are you sure that's not a problem?"

"No, as long as Evan Barrick does not tell her anything." An older lady with a black suit stands in front of a large screen, showing seven faces. Each have an individual name, age, and codename. "Perhaps she could be in use for us." she decides.

A young girl holding a clipboard quickly scribbles "could be of some use" on a blank sheet of paper.

"Yes, very true," the young girl pauses, looking at the faces, "she could get training from your star student."

"Bianca Tyler? No, this is all the risky! Jade Willow, have you no brain?" the older lady snaps, banging her fist on the keyboard. "There is way too much sickness and I still have my best team out there, risking their lives. If one is injured..." she spins around and storms out the door, "We may have a bigger problem than some rival group."
