Chapter: 1... Spy and dry

Alice POV 

1 September 3035 

I feel the impatience gnawing at my inside. This has been the second time that Carla had been late to our secret meetings. 'The hell is keeping her so late?' My mind snarled in annoyance. 

"Alice, I'm sorry I'm so late again." Carla sighed. "The Director has started closing down on everyone. It's getting increasingly more difficult to sneak out and back into the Lab." She mumbled under her breath. 

"Think they may be onto you by any chance?" Nicole asked from next to me. Her calm exterior was betrayed only by her not-so-calm voice. 

"No of course not, I am a simple unseen investigator. I barely receive any missions to begin with. Usually I am the one who gets left out in the grand scheme of everything." Carla shrugged as if she was slightly annoyed at the fact that no one sees her in the Lab.
