Alice smiled back at him, looking deeply into his eyes. In the moment, she felt as though it was just the two of them in the room, with their long pause of silence.“Ahem.” Blake coughed, calling them back to reality.“Oh, pardon me, Miss Pearson, this is my good friend, Blake.” Michael said, gesturing both his arms towards Blake. Blake raised his right hand, waving politely and smiling softly. “Hi!”“And Blake, this is my Boss, Miss Pearson.” Michael continued, now directing his hands to Jane.“Please, call me Jane.” Jane said, returning Blakes wave. “Okay, Jane.” Blake replied.Jane smiled at him. “I would also prefer it if you called me by my name too.” She said, facing Michael.“I don’t think that’s right.” Michael said.“What?” Jane asked.“Calling you by your name like that.” He responded.“And why’s that?” Jane asked again, slightly annoyed.“Because you’re my Boss.” He said firmly.Jane pouted her face, Michael was slightly annoyed, as they aggressively stared at one another

Looking into his eyes, Michael saw that he was set on Jane. Time slowed down immediately; the man was already too close for Michael to react properly.Without many options, he quickly turned himself into a human shield to protect Jane. Spreading his arms wide in anticipation.The man lunged in, aiming his knife on Michael’s center. Without delay, Michael grabbed his assailant by the wrist as they struggled, pushing Jane to the ground.Onlookers at first were baffled by what was going on, before a lady on the other side of the street yelled. “HELP! HE’S GOT A KNIFE!” causing an instant panic.Their tussle, which lasted only moments, felt like hours to Jane, who sat helplessly on the street, using her arm behind her to weigh herself up against the ground.Michael pushed hard, his assailant pushed just as hard, in a backwards tug of war, neither of them giving in. Michael kicked him on the shin, forcing him to fall.On his way down he took Michael with him, as they landed chaotically on

Michael was surprised to be getting a call from Jane all of a sudden. And why was is she using Alice’s phone, ‘Was Alice in hurt?’, he thought to himself.Quicky getting up from his seat, Michael sobered up instantly to the bewilderment of Blake. The thought of Alice in danger put his mind in focus.“Where are you know?” He asked Jane over the phone with urgency.“I’m in front of the coffee shop on main street.” Jane was a little freaked out by his tone.“I’m on my way.” He said quickly, ending the call without a second thought.“What’s going on?” Blake asked, seeing the determination on Michael’s face.“Sorry, I need to go.” Michael said turning away from his friend.Blake immediately grabbed Michael’s hand, stooping him from leaving, as Michael struggled to free himself. “Hold it there, friend.” Blake said calmly. “You’re in no condition to be rushing anywhere.”“I need to go, she’s in danger.” Michael said urgently.“Who’s in danger?” Blake was still calm.“Alice, I need to go see

Calling Michaels number, Alice waited for a short while before he answered. She was silent as she held the phone to her ear.“Hello, who is this?” Michael spoke through the phone.“Hey Mike, it’s Alice.” She said softly.Michael went quiet for a minute before he finally said, “Hey.”“Hey.” Alice said. “Hope I didn’t catch you at a bad time?” her voice was calm and gentle.“No, no, I’m good to talk now, since I left work early.” He said quickly, as though he was nervous. “Yeah, me too, weird day at the office.” She said with a hint of humor.There was another awkward silence as Michael didn’t what to say, it was his fault she left office early.“Look, Alice, I’m so sorry about what I did, I had no right to kiss you all of a sudden, I was tired and wasn’t thinking straight…” He said quickly without stop.Alice laughed, “It’s all right, I liked it.” She said smiling, kicking her feet on the bed. “Besides, I think I kind of… forced your hand with my confession.”“I’m confused, so you’re

Michael’s eyes widened as he stared fixatedly at Sharon, who looked back at him with beseeching eyes.“WHAT!?” He yelled out in a whisper.“I have reason to believe that someone is harm her at the party this weekend.” Sharon said, looking straight at the elevator doors.“Why do you think that? Do you have a source?” Michael asked. Michael askes, turning his head away from her.“After these recent events I’m sure that even you can see that she is in danger, Mr. undercover agent.”Michael turned back at her with surprise written all over his face. She just smiled as she continued to look at the door.“H-how did you find out?” There was no use denying it, Michael knew Sharon was a brilliant lady who didn’t say things without certainty.“Come on, you think I would hire you without knowing everything first?”Michael dropped his head, his cover was blown, he might as well just quit here and now, but then he realized that she already knew before, which only confused him.“Why did you hire me

“Did I say something wrong sir?”Hector, realizing he was overreacting, regained his composure, quickly picking up a picture off his desk. It was a photo of Jane with Alice standing beside her.“May I remind you that, inter office relationships are prohibited.” Hector said.Michael seemed confused by this. “But sir, this isn’t stated anywhere within the company’s rules and guidelines.”“How dare you question me.” Hectors temper rose again. “And there’s no way you know the entire company’s rules and guidelines, after being here for just two days.”“Sorry to disappoint you sir, but I take my job very seriously.” Michael retorted, pride in his voice. “I’ve made it my duty to know what goes on within the company.”Hector’s anger began to increase. He didn’t expect the meeting to go like this, he had hoped that Michael would be that someone he could easily control.“Look here son, if you try anything to go against me, you won’t only lose your job; you’ll lose everything you ever had.” Hect
