Frances walked down the parking lot and went towards her car, slowly starting to forget seeing a man's head blown off. While walking, she heard footsteps, it was like the sound of heels. She didn't look behind her until they have gotten a lot louder. Once she did, she saw Maxy was trailing right behind her. She assume that her car was in the same direction, so, she kept walking.
"Hey.." Maxy finally called out.
"Hi." Frances said a little sharply, she wasn't trying to be rude, she just wanted to go home.
"Hey hey, can you wait?" Maxy started to slightly jog to get in front of her and stop her.
"What?" Frances asked and stopped.
"So uh, this is awkward but..." Maxy said. "My birthday is in two days, July seventh, and I was throwing a party. I was just wondering if you wanted to come?"
Frances hesitated as it was the first time in a long time that she was invited to a party.
"Sure, where and what time?" She asked.
"Dazy Night Club, at 10 PM." Maxy replied. "Don't be late." She teased her as she walked passed her. "That's a nice car by the way!"
Frances didn't say anything going into her car. She was worried about who was going to be at the party mostly, she hoped she didn't see anyone she recognized.

The next day, Frances got up one hour earlier before she had to work. She took a shower, got dressed, and started to make breakfast. While it was cooking, she sat down on her couch and turned on the news.
"For today's news, TITAN's CEO, Sarah Blake, is making a statement live right now in Miami. Let's check it out." The news anchor said, then, it turned to Sarah. She was caucasian and looked at least in her mid 40s, had short blonde hair, and deep blue eyes. She was wearing a suit with a skirt and red lipstick. The crowd was very chatty but everyone could still hear what she was saying clearly. Once she was ready, she started to make her speech.
"Alright folks," Sarah started. "As some of you may know by now, we have been getting into an altercation between another agency. Citizens have been asking about what that agency was, and I can tell you that it was the Florida A.I.C." The crowd got very quiet after she said that. She looked at them left and right and continued. "They have been very quiet about what they are but today, we will speak for them. They are an agency that works with the government, but, we have precious data from them and I have to say, even I didn't believe it at first. This is why I am here today to say that the A.I.C. Is no more!"
After that, the whole crowd cheered for her. It was like they worshipped her and her beliefs. She managed to quiet the crowd down again and said her last few sentences.
"On August nineteenth, we gather all of the wrong doings of the A.I.C. and spread it all over the world. We will not stop until we get the justice we deserve. At TITAN, we never stop." She got out before waving at the roaring audience. The crowd was cheering the entire way. While they were, Frances got a call from Mike.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Are you watching the news right now?" Mike sounded like he was in a panic.
"Yeah, I just heard the speech. They really trying to take A.I.C. down."
"Well, I took a look at all of the allegations they have towards us and guess what? Most of it all is false! Those pieces of shits made shit up to cover up their crimes."
"Well why don't you expose them before they expose you?"
"Because we don't have anything. Remember that party that was happening next week?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
"We'll talk about it when you get to work. Prep is canceled for today." Mike finished before hanging up the phone. Frances felt a wave of relief since prep was cancelled.

Once Frances got to the A.I.C. building, she walked into the elevator, then, went into Mike's office. In the office, Clark, Maxy, and Brent were all in there, staring at her while she came in. Taking one more look at his paper, Mike got up and greeting her into the room.
"Great, you're here!" He sat her down in front of his desk and wanted to plan out with the group.
"Okay, so Frances, will you be willing to play the main role in the plan?" Mike asks.
"Yeah, depends." She said.
"Alright, so, next week, TITAN will host a party in a new house they built up in Miami." Mike started. "We will need you to go to that party and go to there back room, where they have their computers and shit. Then, you will hook a device Maxy and Clark made that will give them the information the information they need. After that, you get the hell out of there."
"That's a shit ton." Brent teased. "You sure that's a good task for the rookie?"
"Brent, we have a different task for you." Clark turn to him. "To shut the fuck up."
"I'm just teasing." He muttered under his breath.
"Okay, great." Mike tried to change the subject. "I will message you the address, if you are having any trouble, let us know."
"Got it."
Everyone looked at each other before they all left the room. Frances and Maxy went into their stations and started to talk about her birthday party.
"So, do you normally go to parties?" Maxy asked, trying to spark conversation.
"No, I'm not really a party animal." Frances answered.
"Oh, why not?"
"I don't hang out with a lot of people."
"Well, you can always hang out with me."
Frances pauses for a second before saying anything. "Yeah, I know."
Maxy got up to get some water. Frances was a little too stressed to think of anything. She just wanted to go home, but, she was a little nervous to go to Macy's birthday party, as she hasn't gone to a birthday party in a while.
