The ride back to the private airfield was one of awkward silence. The reason for this was that Daniel had attempted to "make a move" on Luna, which she didn't appreciate. At all. In fact, the silence was so unbearable that Luna was almost grateful when her work phone went off. A familiar male voice greeted her.
" Change of plans. Your not heading home, I want you to take the car strait to the public bus stop. In locker 37 you will find the instructions for your next assignment. That is all. "
cryptic as always. Daniel then cleared his throat.
" So is it another assignment? Luna? Oh, come on! Your not gonna ignore me are you? Luna, I'm telling you, I'm really sorry about what happened okay. I promise it won't happen again. "
" Promise? "
" Cross my heart and hope to die. "
" We're supposed to go to the bus stop and get our next assignment. "
" Right... Luna? "
" Hmmmm? "
" Your not still mad at me are you? "
" Course not Daniel, I could never stay mad at you. "
" Luna? "
" Yes Daniel? "
" Thanks. "
That last statement had kinda shocked Luna. Never in all her years of working with Daniel had she ever heard him speak without sarcasm. He had almost sounded... nice, for once.
" Always, Daniel. "
The silence that followed was one of warmth.
