That night....
Scarlet dressed in a red mini skirt a pair of heeled boots and a red top with one sleeve and a leather jacket. Her hair was curled into ringlets arranged around her face and there were silver hoops in her ears
She walked over to Terry's promising selina she'd be back early and carrying her homework in a black leather bag covered in badges.
She soon arrived at his apartment and knocked on the door.
Terry answered with his cell phone pinned to his ear.
"I'm sorry Dana but I promised I'd hang out with Scarlet tonight." apologised Terry gesturing for Scarlet to come in.
"Yes I know ...I know... listen Dana I have to go Scarlet's here. Yes I'll call you later. Ok love you bye," said Terry before hanging up.
Scarlet sat on the sofa and threw her jacket on the arm while she got her homework out her bag.
"Sorry about that Scarlet. Dana's been acting kind of strange lately." frowned Terry sitting down beside her.
"It's Ok. I can understand why she's so jealous." smiled Scarlet understandingly.
"So what homework do you need help with?" asked Terry putting down the phone on the coffee table.
"Well mostly my English literature and twentieth century history." said Scarlet.
"I'll try my best to help. But I'm not really good at those subjects." said Terry.
"It's Ok. I'm sure I'll just mess up the home work anyway." shrugged Scarlet
"Well let's get to work then." smiled Terry passing her a pen.
Later...
The two sat watching TV when Terry tried to forget about Dana's strange behaviour.
"Do you think those two make a good couple?" asked Scarlet as the news talked about a well-known couple.
"I suppose so." shrugged Terry.
"What's wrong Terry? You've been like this ever since you talked to Dana," said Scarlet turning to face him.
"I'm sorry Scarlet," sighed Terry.
"Let me guess you feel guilty about hanging with me instead of her right?" asked Scarlet.
"In a way. Not that I don't enjoy being with you Scarlet." said Terry.
"I understand." shrugged Scarlet though her heart was breaking.
"You OK? You look like something's wrong," said Terry reading her broken expression.
"It's nothing. Anyway it's getting late. I told selina I'd be back earlier than curfew," said Scarlet grabbing her bag and jacket before getting to her feet.
"Are you sure? It's not even ten yet," said Terry looking at his watch.
"It's Ok. You can go meet up with Dana," said Scarlet spiting out Dana's name as she put on her jacket.
"You want me to drive you home?" asked Terry reaching for his keys.
"If you don't mind," said Scarlet putting on her bag.
"It's Ok," said Terry putting on his shoes and jacket before picking up his keys.
"So you think you'll meet up with Dana?" asked Scarlet curiously.
"I don't know, maybe." shrugged Terry as they walked to the car park where his motorcycle was.
The two got on the motorbike and drove to Scarlet's house.
They arrived and Scarlet climbed off to see Iris sat at the end of the street waiting for her.
"Thanks for the ride Terry." smiled Scarlet.
"It's Ok. I'll see you later," said Terry.
Scarlet looked down at the ground as she turned around to go.
"Hey Scarlet. I was wondering.... maybe you wanted to...I don't know do something tomorrow?" asked Terry putting the bike on it's stand after climbing off.
"I don't know. I mean what would Dana say?" asked Scarlet shyly turning around.
"Well I'm seeing her now. She shouldn't mind." shrugged Terry with a smile.
"I guess so." smiled Scarlet.
"See you tomorrow. Call me later and I'll see if I can get away from my boss." said Terry.
"Sure." smiled Scarlet adjusting her bag strap.
"Well bye." said Terry.
Scarlet kissed him on the cheek before walking towards her house.
"What was that for?" asked Terry with a smile as he watched her walk away.
"Just for being so sweet and helping me with my homework." smiled Scarlet.
"I'll see you later," said Terry climbing on his bike before he left.
Scarlet smiled to herself when she saw the light on in the practise room.
Scarlet cursed and ran up to her room to drop off her stuff before going up there.
She arrived to see selina looking at her computer.
"There you are Scarlet. I was just going to ring your cell." Said selina seeing her reflection in the screen.
"I forgot you wanted me to go on duty tonight." apologised Scarlet walking to the case holding the suit.
"It's Ok you still have enough time," said Selina stroking Isis who was in her lap.
Scarlet took the suit and changed into it behind a screen.
"So how was your study date?" asked Selina.
"It was OK. I managed to get everything done." said Scarlet putting her hair up before putting on the mask.
"You ready yet?" asked selina.
"Hold on." said Scarlet before walking out.
"Right now, tonight I want you to take an Egyptian locket from the museum. It was the first thing I stole and I think it is a good thing for you to have." said Selina.
"Right. Where is it?" asked Scarlet.
"It's in the museum of historic ornaments on ninety Sixth Avenue," said Selina.
"I'll see you later then." said Scarlet as she went to the window and climbed up the roof.
When she reached the roof she jumped from roof to roof till she reached to museum.
She turned off the alarm and crept through the floors till she reached the Egyptian exhibit.
She found the locket and took it out of its glass case.
She put it in the pouch and made her way out turning the alarm back on before she made her way back home.
When she arrived back she took the locket to selina before getting changed for bed.
Selina came up and handed her the locket before bidding her goodnight and going down to her own room.
