“Tasmyn, are you ready for your first mission?”

Startled, I looked up from my plate of raviolis, expecting to see Cathryn standing at my shoulder. The dining hall was fairly busy for the lunch hour, but my table was empty, save for my own food and a pile of books from my sociology class. Unless Cathryn had picked up a new trick—invisibility—she wasn’t anywhere near me.

I glanced around the room one more time, and then I saw her. She moved from the food area toward me with her typical feline grace, and as that thought crossed my mind, I clamped down the purple veil, making sure I was off-limits.

Pulling out a chair across from me, she smirked. “Nice recovery there. I almost completely missed your usual resentment of me.”

I laid down my fork and regarded her steadily. “I don’t resent you at all, Cathryn. Might be the other way around, don’t you think?” When she didn’t answer, I took a long pull from my glass of sweet tea before continuing. “So what’s up? Why the mind games?”

She shrugged. “I don’t know. I was just playing with you. Things get monotonous, and I like to shake them up. You haven’t had one outrageous thought about me—that I’ve heard—in over a month. I wanted to see if I could take you by surprise.”

I spread out my hands. “Well, it worked. Color me surprised. Now what do you mean by mission?”

Cathryn smiled and leaned closer, dropping her voice. “We had something come up that we think would be perfect for your first assignment. It’s this afternoon, and the meeting place is only about fifteen minutes away. I’ll pick you up at 3:45 this afternoon outside your dorm. Dress professionally.”

Anticipation that I hadn’t expected bubbled within me. “Can you tell me about it? What will I be doing?”

Cathryn shook her head. “Not here. We’ll talk in the car on the way over. For future assignments, you’ll get the details through encrypted email, but this was last minute. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.”

I called Michael to tell him what was going on, so he wouldn’t be concerned in case I was late for dinner.

“Are you nervous?” he asked, apprehension coloring his own voice.

“I don’t think so,” I said, standing in my closet, trying to decide what constituted a professional outfit. “More excited. I’m not sure I’m as prepared as I thought I would be, but maybe that’s their method—throwing me into the deep end.”

“Be careful.” I couldn’t hear his mind, but I knew what he would be thinking.

“I promise, if anything at all feels off, I’m out of there. I’ll call you to get me. And I’ll text you when I’m ready to meet you to eat.”

Cathryn was punctual as always. I climbed into her car without a word, and she pulled smoothly from the curb.

As I struggled to connect my seat belt, she tossed a folder onto my lap. “Some information for today.”

I flipped it open and perused the first page. “So. . .we’re meeting this guy? Matthew Cummings?”

“Yes, he’s our client.
