“So?” she asked impatiently after I failed to acknowledge her. “What?” I asked carelessly. “Are we gonna create accounts tonight or what?” she said, with a bit of annoyance in her tone. I sighed and turned to her. “I don’t know.” “Why not?” she demanded, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me with a little too much force. I pushed her off and pulled up the shirt sleeve she had just pulled down from her rather violent gesture. “I don’t know anything about it, Alana, and I don’t really want to know anything about it. What’s the point of making an account if I don’t have any motivation to learn how to use it?” “I don’t see what you have against it,” she sneered. “Would it kill you to put yourself out there every once in awhile?” I looked down at the ground, letting my hair fall in front of my face. She had a point. Alana snickered halfheartedly as she continued. “I knew you’d chicken out.” I looked up as her feet swiveled around and walked away. “Alana, wait.” She froze mid-step and turned her head slightly. I took a deep breath and swallowed. “I’ll do it.”

An alarm bell rang, the main computer's voice sending chills up my spine. Hearing Masquerade Ventos over and over again sent me crashing through my former place of employment. Skidding to a stop in front of an open window, the bounty on my head would set anyone up for life. A breeze blew my shaggy layered hair up, a rich black claiming my bangs and the hair lining my face. Jet black tips tickled my cheeks, my shaking hands ripping off a rope from my cargo pants. Tying the rope around the window's handle, a lump formed in my throat at the rope bouncing done the remaining half of the building. Propelling down gingerly, my slight fear of heights was going to the death of me. Feeling around for solid ground, the heels of my boots hit the cracked pavement. Sprinting into the crowd on the street, a dozen spies descended upon me. Snatching a sweatshirt from a chair, a flick of my wrist had it floating onto me. Disappearing into the bathroom, I hopped on top of the toilet. Dozens of footfalls clicked in, the stall doors blew open. Counting them, mine would be next. Clammy sweat drenched my skin, a group of women coming in causing them to leave. Jumping off the toilet, I poked my head out. Giggling like a bunch of idiots, a polite smile disarmed them. Ditching the hoodie in the trash, confusion twisted their features as I pulled myself through the small window on the other side of the bathroom. Landing inches from my enemy's entrance, a long sigh drew from my lips. He was the only one who could help me bring down my corrupt employer, my fingers curling around the edge of the sewer lid. Jumping down while placing it back, disgusting water splashed over the top of my boots. Closing my eyes, the map of his headquarters played out in my head. Opening my eyes, his face hovered inches from mine.
