Its like being called to the principles office, I mumbled to myself as I walked into Commander Houston's office. When I looked up I saw the three women in which found me the night I tried to top myself. When the commander turned round, I stood to attention.
"Special Agent, I am assigning you three new team members. This here is Agent Trixie Pointer, Agent Alex Lawson and Agent Rebecca Mayfield" he said, his tone of voice suggested that he was not in the mood to be argued with. I motioned to the Newbie's.
"Follow me please" I said. I walked in the direction of my office and the past it. I guided them to the "Bull-pen" where the lower ranking Agents desks were. They followed me to three new desks positioned next to the three desks which belonged to the rest of my team.
"Here are your desks, if you have any question, please don't hesitate to ask" I recited the standard to them before turning on my heel and back to my office.
It was in my office where I got the message from Sarah telling me that the identification on the phone number would have to wait until tomorrow due to the Commander's orders that a current case be bumped up the priority scale. I cursed at the machine before sitting down at my desk and going over a case file.

The journey to Morganville was boring to say the least. The Agents aboard the chopper sat in relative silence, so I resulted to daydreaming out the window. When it was announced we were due to arrive in Morganville in the next 10 minutes, I rose from my seat and harnessed up. Once we were hovering above Lot Street I clipped the hook to my harness and abseiled downwards.
I was greeted by the sad looking faces of Claire's friends. Wow were they miserable without her.
"Right then is this all your taking?" I asked Michael and Shane. They nodded.
"Where's Eve? She is your little Goth friend Right?" I asked, they nodded again.
"She's just coming. She refused to leave any of her beloved clothes behind, so is just packing what's left"
"Um guys little help!" cried Eve. Michael set of towards the house but I stopped him and sent in two agents.10 seconds later Eve emerged from the house, a grin plastered on her face, followed by two heavily panting Agents hauling a trunk the size of Manhattan.
"I see you've packed light, Eve" I joked casually.
"I know, right" Eve replied. I signalled to an Agent who brought over three harnesses and took the luggage from the guys. As the luggage was hauling into the awaiting chopper. I showed the three Guys how to put on and adjust their harnesses.
Once they had them all on and fitted I checked each individually, before signalling that the hook be lowered down. This time in stead of one hook, there came two. I would have to ferry each individual up.
First up was Eve. I clipped myself and her in and up we went. Eve let out a huge "WEEEEEE!" as we went upwards. I laughed and heard the boys below laugh as well. Once I had Eve strapped in I went down again to ferry up one of the boys.
Once everyone was up and strapped in, I radioed the pilot to set of for D.C.

I loved undercover work. Its great fun, especially when your as young as me! They just don't expect you to work for the Federal Government.
8 weeks ago Houston had assigned me to a terrorist group, and today they were having a meeting. The group had finally let me in 3 weeks ago and today I was to bug the room. The thrill has definitely got to be my favourite part. We were to meet at an abandoned warehouse at 3pm on the dot.
Due to the fact that I was in the field, I was fitted with a wireless transmitter a camera in the button of my jacket, an ear piece in my ear and an audio transmitter in my watch. When I opened the door to the warehouse, it was the smell of gasoline that had me on high alert. I drew my weapon from the holster that was strapped around my calf, and cocked it ready to fire. I edged my way further into the building clearing each room as I passed. When I had passed at least 7 rooms I came to a room that seemed oddly suspicious. I eased the door open gently.
What I saw inside was the grade school class that was kidnapped last week. Their kidnap was all over the news. 2 teachers and 32 second grade kids. They were all tied down staring at me with terrified eyes. Everyone was gagged and most everyone was crying or at least had been. But what really caught my eye was bomb sitting in the centre of the room. I put my weapon firmly back in its harness before brining out my penknife. I cut the ropes on all of the kids and the 2 teachers.
I flashed my badge at everyone and ordered them to stick close as I manoeuvred them through the building. On the way out I radioed in the situation and called for bomb squad. I led the class outside where they were met by the local uniforms. I was about to head to find shelter when an ear piercing scream came from one of the teachers. I ran over to her and immediately began to calm her down.
"Sammie!" she cried in my ear "Sammie's still in there" there wasn't enough time for bomb squad to get here and rescue the kid, so took of flying towards the building my team screaming at me to get back, stay clear of the building. I ignored them and focused on the task at hand.
So what happens. does claire get to the kid in time or do things end badly. let me know R&R plz!
