"Don't worry about the promotion. If I have anything to say about it, you'll be the one to get it," Spencer slapped One Shot on the back as both entered the elevator. "In any case, the other candidates aren't qualified."

"Thank you," One Shot replied, with hopefully not the same amount of insincerity and indifference he felt at that moment. Then, a thought flashed through his mind: the phone! His hand shot forward halting the closing elevator doors in place. To the mildly surprised Spencer, he said in a rush, "I forgot something," before stepping out and speeding towards the stairs instead.

Jumping up, taking three steps at once, he soon found what he was looking for: Angel's lost phone. He breathed a sigh of relief. But then chuckled. How fickle fate could be. To bring her right into his arms, without even knowing it was her. Turning on the phone revealed her picture as the lock screen. A younger Angel, likely from her college days, smiling to herself. The way she bent down as if to hide her joy from the world left a smile on One Shot's face. For now, she was gone, but soon, he would see her again. Humming a soft melody, he went up to his room, unaware that Angel was much closer than he thought.
