Her usual routine tossing and turning didn't happen as she dozed off somewhat comfortable and woke up late. She thought about going into work and knew that she wasn’t all there today. Taking one of her nine thousand days off that she had built up seemed to be the best idea she could come up with. She sent her boss a text,
Taking a personal day.
Have to do with your new friend? Was his response, which brought a laugh out of her. Of course,, he would want to dig into her life to find out the reason she wanted to take a day off when she was known not to ever take one unless she was very sick or in the hospital for something.
No. She replied and turned off the sound to the phone. For her, it was that simple, but she needed extra rest. That wasn't like her. Things didn’t bother her like this. She had to assume it was something from whatever had happened the n

She went back to the hotel and decided to change into a summer dress, it was warm enough outside, and she was thinking of the later that was to come. She had spotted him looking at her before but not with the same grin he had when she had realized it was him. She was thinking back of all she could remember of him from when he was in her class. Polite, somewhat sarcastic but never with her, didn't like talking in class or during lessons, very professional, and she never got the vibe he liked her though. She wondered how bad she was at this whole picking up on things like men giving her signs that they were interested in her. She again cleared out all the other messages from the site as she really didn't care that much about the other men at the moment though she didn’t erase them. She didn’t want the distraction of any other, so she left them on read. She was intrigued by only him and his yellow eyes. She had never seen eyes like his before. An

Sarah kissed him, and that changed everything for her in her mind. She had never taken control like that before, and for some reason, she was completely comfortable with this man she had known as a student and then was reintroduced when he was nameless and faceless. Lying in bed with this man next to her as they explored each other slightly was something she hadn’t realized she needed.He propped himself up on his arm and just looked down at her as he smiled slightly. His hand cupping her face gently as his thumb ran over her cheek. “This right here is worth the wait.” He said softly. “Though I want to do more than just this, we should wait a bit.”She looked up to him and got lost in those magical golden eyes that he had. She nodded slightly, and for the first time in her life, she knew that she wasn’t in charge of everything around her. She also wanted to see where this could go with him, and the fact he didn’t

The next morning she awoke to the alarm clock and thought of the night before. It almost seemed like a hazy dream. He had left around ten that if they wanted to keep their budding relationship a secret, he couldn't be gone for too long, his roommate was a horrible gossip he had said. He had been beyond happy when she deleted the app from her phone, and the two had exchanged numbers instead. Though the initial game was over, he said there were a few more games to play. She had to take his word on that. Sarah had no real clue as to what they were.As she rolled out of bed, she heard her phone go off with a message.Good morning Princess.How did you know I just woke up? My room is right above, yours, remember? Your alarm is rather loud.She could hear him laughing upstairs as she threw a shoe at the ceiling. She could also hear the sets of two pairs of feet w

As her doorway darkened again, she looked up into the face of her friend. Sarah could see something was wrong. Aaron always had a tell when he was trying to put on his mask of indifference, but it never worked when he had to deal with her. She read his face. He wasn't smiling at her like he normally did before he began teasing her like an older brother would. The relationship between them had grown to the point they were family. When people would ask things like why their relationship went this way, it was simple. They went through hell together while overseas. They dealt with the problems there and then came back and had many more to work through. They were the only ones besides the rest of the small team that had handled the outbreak who could ever understand what had happened and what they had seen. "We need to talk,” Aaron said. Sara knew that even his voice was strained. Whatever he had to say was not going to be good. He didn’t wan

"The special forces guys came out at just the right time and took care of it,” she said. "He had a syringe of sedative and was dressed like an MA ordering me out of my car. I knew something was off, and I was already on high alert because of the grenade and then my house. He didn’t look like one of our cops. I can’t say how I knew, but I just did. The green team came out as he was screaming at me to get out. Call it great timing or fate, but I thought they would have told you when they got back.""What sedative?” he asked."Don't know. It was all the quick test showed,” she said. “I had a test in my trunk, so it was only a quick test.”"Goddamnit,” he said. "Let me think."Sarah also had to think as she went back to her office and sat in her chair. The door was open, and she was staring in front of her but not seeing anything. She was trying to rack her brain of any hint that something happened

She had been recruited for this job when she had sent in a paper to a doctor who had founded the organization she currently worked for. The paper that she had sent in was a correction to a research paper that had been published a year before when she had been fifteen. At sixteen, she hadn’t been looking for her dream to be handed to her, but after that paper had been looked at and they saw she was correct even with the lack of education in the field, they knew she was the one who would change the field. The two had prepared her in those two years for the things she would have to deal with, including the idea that she would be in a hot zone. They had no idea at the time how right they were.While over sea’s trying to take samples of nearly everything so they could find the origin of the virus in question, an outbreak broke out. The area was already dangerous with staying off the local guerilla's radar so they could work without a firefight. The tribes were mostly f

Her phone rang. It was an outside call but had somehow not gone through the switchboard. The ring was different so she could tell if it was coming from in the building or out of it. The switchboard calls all went to the first line for each person. This one was on her third line. This call was to her directly on a number she didn’t even know she had."Hello?” she said into the receiver. She normally had a whole thing to say, but the fact she knew the call was for her, she didn’t go into it. She was holding her breath, hoping it was someone from the team or something. It would be like one of them to call her this way. Some way to let her know they were okay.A computerized voice answered, "So now you know."She raised her head and waved at Akechi in the meeting room, knowing even if he was not looking at her like he had been, he would see the movement. He jumped up and walked out of the room, causing everyone to stop and look

"Okay, then. Why reach out to me if you are just going to kill me? To strike fear. If you know what we did over there, you know I don't scare easily.” she said. Her boss looked at her questionably but shrugged his shoulders. It was one way to handle it. She was challenging the person now."I know what you did. I know what you are capable of. I know why you all must be dealt with.” the voice said."You know nothing of what I am capable of doing,” she replied without thought. She had no idea what could have sparked this much hatred, though. Sarah was still sifting through the memories, but none of them were adding up to her or her team had done something so evil that they needed to die or be kidnapped, and then God knows what would happen to them."I do, dear Daktari. I know more than you think.” the voice said."Try me,” she said as the line went dead. She looked up at the people in her office. The light went off
