Who would've known
- Flash forward one year-
As Grace was sitting in the living room of her apartment in France, she was trying to decide what TV show she should watch while eating breakfast. Today her old boss Helen and Ashley were coming to visit, although she had no idea if this was just a plain we miss you visit or some kind of mission they were on. This made her very nervous. She was interrupted from her show by the door bell, "this is unusual they're not supposed to come for another two hours" she thought. She opened the door to find a bottle with a note inside and a bow tied around the top sitting on her door mat.
Grace looked nervously at the bottle. "This is different" she thought. She picked up the bottle. She then untied the bow and reached inside pulling out the note. She read the note aloud to herself. It says "Watch what you tell her! I'm always listening and watching! Don't wonder off from the group though you might get hurt. –X" " Oh my gosh! AHHHH" screamed Grace. "Who would send me something like this? What did they mean by her?" she wondered. She pondered the thought of who this could be but then decided to get rid of the note because it was obviously some kind of prank. She went back to watch TV and tidy up the coffee table when the doorbell rang once again. She walked over and opened it, standing in the doorway was an auburn color hair middle aged women she immediately recognized as Helen Magnus her old boss. She then adjusted her focus to the older bright blonde headed teenager standing beside her whom she noted must be Ashley her daughter. They were both dressed in sleek black leather jumpsuits that fit tightly to their bodies and a pair of matching high heeled boots, both women rolled in a suitcase followed by a backpack hung over there right shoulder. She welcomed them in and showed them to the spare bedroom. This was certainly going to be an exciting visit she could sense it. After everyone was settled in the door opened and John walked in. He kissed Grace hello before heading back to get cleaned up for dinner. Grace began to set the table and everyone gathered around and sat down and began to eat. Grace was the first to break the silence. "So Magnus what brings you and your daughter to out to our place this year?" Grace asked. "Oh were here to visit and a couple other reasons but you'll find out about those later, trust me" Helen said with a wicked but sincere grin. This made Grace's stomach do a few tiny flips. "How is the food darling?" Grace asked quickly before any more of that topic could be mentioned. After dinner they watched a movie and went to sleep. The next morning John left early for work while Grace was in the kitchen making pancakes. Helen was the next to be up Ashley slept in till 11:30. So Grace took the advantage and spoke to Helen privately. "Magnus what is the real reason you're here?" She asked. "Grace we need you back on the team!" Helen stated "It's all starting to fall apart without you, Ashley and I really miss you. We saw you as a sister and we were going to start training you for field work. Then you left and we want you back" Helen quickly explained. When Grace found out the real reason her mouth dropped open and the box of flour slipped from her hand spilling white powder everywhere. "What a mess" She thought while reaching for the wet cloth on the sink to start wiping up the cabinets. "Think about it Grace please don't answer yes or no yet just think about it" Helen said and with that she turned and walked into the living room leaving Grace to clean up the mess herself.
(Sorry it's such a short chapter I just thought it would be a good ending for this chapter)
