Unknown Person POV
"What do you mean she wasn't there?" I demanded, making my assistant flinch. My fist slammed on the table top when he didn't answer right away.
"There was no trace of her at her home, Sir. It's almost like she completely vanished." he said. His hands covered his head, ready to be punched. That was the usual punishment, but instead I just sat back down. Saying he was surprise did not fit, it was more like he was astonished.
"How could she 'disappear?'" I asked, calmly.
"We do have one lead, Sir. Sh-sh-she could possibly b-be at the airport." he stuttered, nervously. I nodded, thinking of the situation.
"The airport..." I said as he nodded. I flipped the table over, "You know she has something we need! How could you let this happen?!"
I threw the lamp at him, making it shatter and sparks flew everywhere. My assistant cowered against the wall. He looked up and a shard of glass was stuck in his cheek. He grew angry and stood up.
"It's just a scratch, come on, let's go." I said, but he wouldn't move. His eyes darkened and he looked as mad as a hatter. I picked up one of the cups and threw it at his feet. He jumped out of the way and snapped out of his angry trance.
"We're wasting time, let's go! And while you're at it, tell someone to clean up this mess!" I order, then quickly mumbled to myself, "It's like people want me to work in a pigsty."
We were soon in the airport. I followed her as soon as I spotted the girl. She seemed very stressed and really wanted to get out of here. It's good to see she got my letter, I thought to myself. She looked around, suspiciously. She wouldn't be able to see me, though. This continued for an hour, she would glance back and I would be hidden. It wasn't until her plane arrived that I decided it was time to go. Now I knew where she was going. That's all I needed to know.
I walked out of the airport with a smirk on my face. My assistant stopped me, "What was on the pictures, anyways?"
"Oh it was-" my phone rang, cutting me off. I picked up and answered, "Hello?"
"Do you know where she is?" asked the person on the other line.
"Yeah. Pack up your bags, boys! We are going to Washington!" I said before hanging up.
