For the duration of this entire week, and a very long day of interviewing the captive members and or hostages of the Scathe organization again, I was beat to the ground! However tonight I was my husband's date for this FBI sting operation. I can't say that I'd like to spend our anniversary like this, but Richard promised me that he's going to make it up to me after this nightmare is over.

Back at home, we had a very quiet dinner. Our minds were preoccupied with tonight's events, and for me; I couldn't shake the fear I had in my heart. I can't deny that I'm... afraid.

An hour later, I was getting ready for tonight. I glared at myself in the mirror, trying to come to terms with my career choice when...

"Come on babe. We don't want to be late. Don't forget your side piece." Ric said whilst forming his tie into a Windsor knot. I admired how handsome he looks in a suit.

Very dashing!

Our doorbell rang. Ric gave me a warm smile and went to answer. I assumed that it was Karen and Vic. Victor is on the case too, and he never is. He was the Alpha Team leader, although he's going to be behind the scenes doing heavy surveillance on this Hussain character and his female companions. 

Karen is going to babysit our 7-year-old daughter Mar'i, and BB's beautiful son when they arrive tonight. I shortly followed my husband to the foyer to greet our friends.

"Hey girl, oh my goodness don't you look ever so pretty! But don't wear the heels, you might have to run after a Scathe upper-level creep!" She joked but in a serious way.

I had on a black fitted dress that went down just below the knee, a sheer white shawl draped across my arms, and my red hair pulled up into a loose bun. I took her advice and grabbed a pair of flats to take along, just in case. I came back up the hall, digging into my purse for her deserved payment.

"Thank you so much for watching the kids for us." I said handing her $500 dollars.

"Why so much Star?" She asked trying not to accept the cash.

"Oh it's nothing. I'm sure that you'd like to do other things than sit on a Friday night." I blushed.

"Are you kidding! I love kids. Mar'i is such a wonderful and behaved little kiss of sunshine, and Jr is a sweet little boy. I'm sure we'll have fun. Besides Vic is going to be gone too, so I had nothing to do. May as well watch a Moana and Frozen 1 and 2 all-nighter. I'm also in the mood for the... Lion King ha-ha." She said theatrically.

"Sounds like a very relaxing popcorn filled adventure." I said retouching my makeup as I glanced in the hall mirror.

"Yeah so if your kid has a sugar and salty butter rush when you get back... don't say I didn't warn you. Besides BB is supposed to bring a puppy over too. I'm sure we'll have good times.

"Oh yes! Misfit is her name if I recall. Mar'i's been talking about her all this week. I'm sure she is just... adorable! You know BB adopted the dog for his baby? That was very nice of him to give his son a companion. And not to mention, give a stray pup a home. BB is such a kind person. I'm just sad that his true love is involved in all this craziness! I am so hoping that I do see my friend. She has suffered unnecessarily all these years. Trigon was not a kind father, and her uncle is completely worse!

I paused for a moment thinking of our dear sweet friend, and continued...

I really hope and pray that the Beast is not truly Raven. It will be shameful, and it will totally crush BB." I continued and QB interjected.
