Chapter 2

"Sir are you sure? I mean I though you thought I was a screw up?" Grace said.

"Hart, I want you as my partner, you'll get a raise in a salary, and be my first associate. You'll still be able to go on missions, but you'll also be able to concoct them, and run them." McDonald said.

"I'd love to Sir-"

"You can call me Harry or McDonald now."

"Thank you so much Harry! I really appreciate."

"No problem, now I know you applied for an employee talent show."

"Yes?"

"It passed with flying colors it will be Saturday night. So out new friend will be just arriving to see it."

"If I may, McDonald, who is this 'new friend'?"

"If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?"

"No Sir, but I really would like to know."

"That just so happens to be something I won't tell you. But I can tell you he's going to be your assistant."

"I have two questions, what about Fuller? And can Cheryl come to the talent show, with all the girls? It's for my talent."

"Fuller is now going to take your old place, and as long as all the pageant ladies have background checks ect. They may attend."

"Great, I have some calls to make, and um is there any assignment you need me to work on?"

"No, Gracie, you have these next three days practically to yourself, but you need to come into the office, who knows what we'll dig up."

"Alright if you need anything I'll be in my office."

"That reminds me, You're getting a newer bigger office, Fuller can have your old one. The new office will have a desk for your new assistant. You can start moving as soon as you wish."

"Thank you Sir."

As soon as Gracie got out she told her friends what had happened. They started to move her things into the new office on the top floor; everyone grabbed all they could and halled it into the elevator. Grace was the first to get to her new office, and the view was breathtaking.

"You have some calls to make, don't you?" Vic said as he put a potted plant on the ground.

"Yeah I kind of do." Grace said.

"Go ahead, we'll finish lugging all this stuff." Joel said with joy.

"Thanks guys, I gatta call Cheryl and the other girls to get an act ready." Grace added.

"You don't have a routine? Well Vic and I'll create one for you – it'll be ready tomorrow morning ready for practice!" Joel said as Fuller entered the room.

"Wow, fancy, smancy!" She said. "I'm not doing the 'dance' thing."

"Oh please fuller it'll be fun!" Gracie pleaded.

"Alright, but you better cut me some slack with the boss."

"Deal!" Gracie and Fuller shock hands.

"You know Sam, I was just about to call Cheryl, so would you want to help me convince her as we design my office?"

"If you'll have me." Fuller joked.

"We'll be back with more stuff Gracie!" Vic said as they exited.

Once the boys were gone, Grace grabbed the phone and dialed Cheryl's number; she put the phone on speaker.

"Hello?" Cheryl's voice sounded a little confussed.

"Hey, Cher, it's Gracie." Grace said.

"Oh Gracie!" Her voice piped up. "I didn't know it was you. I mean the phone said it was the FBI not BFFLE Gracie."

"That's part of the news! I got a new office!"

"O-mi-gosh! Really!"

"Yes, really, and I got a new office, phone, and I'm getting an assistant!"

"Mmm?" Sam said, as if she said it directly, Grace knew what 'Mmm' ment.

"So anyway remember how you were like 'Grace you should have a talent show!' well McDonald said yes. And that you and the rest of the girls could come and be in it!"

"Really?!"

"Really!!"

"That's fantastic! When is it? When does training start? I'll call the other girls for you, I mean I know you have so much work and you're probably so busy already with FBI stuff, and moving into the office."

"Well, Sam's, and my crew are helping me with the office, but I have no FBI stuff. McDonald wanted me to get the talent show ready."

"Ohh, that's great now you can work on making the dance!"

"Actually Joel and Vic are working on that."

"That's good, well what are you gonna do?"

"Get signs saying 'Talents Show'"

"That's great Gracie. So umm, have you met any guys?"

"What? Cheryl!"

"Well you can't be mad at me for being curious. I mean Grace, you need a man! I thought you and Eric were way cute together!"

"Two problems with that, one he broke up with her, and he's in Miami." Fuller said for the first time.

"Ohh, was that you Sam? Hi!" Cheryl responded.

"Hi." Sam greeted Cheryl on the phone.

"Ladies we're back!" Joel said.

"And we have more stuff – Grace you still have a picture of Mathews?" Vic asked as he went through a box.

"Ohh, see I was right you do like him." Cheryl said.

"Oh Cheryl, it's a pleasure to hear you again!" Vic said.

"And you Vic, hey Joel."

"My pleasure dear, oh, don't worry we have the talent show dance on our plate! We'll be happy to do your make up too!" Joel said.

"That's great guys, but for now can we please stick to helping Gracie set her office up?" Grace asked the bunch.

They all agreed. Eventually the girls hung up. Cheryl said she's call all the pageant girls and get them to come tomorrow to learn the dance. And to be there precisely at noon. Cheryl said she'd come at nine to catch up. They made arrangements for the girls to stay at a lovely Hyatt. Except Cheryl who'd room with Gracie of course. Once her office was set up, and everyone else had left, Gracie got her lovely pink coat and grabbed her purse, and pulled out onto the highway. It was a 15 minute ride home, but that was long enough for Gracie to get very tired. Once she was home she threw herself on her bed and feel asleep.
