"Sam, what happened to you suddenly why do you look so scary?"
This was the first time Andy saw Samantha looking so cold, scary and determined.
Samantha realized she didn't hide her cold demeanour so she returned back to normal.
"Sorry if I scared you"
"That's fine but Sam are you seriously not going to meet him?"
"Hmm"
"Why?"
"Then I would only be giving him hopes which I don't want to do"
"But Sam…"
"Let's get back to work Andy"
Samantha tried to divert her attention but she kept thinking about Chance and wondered how much efforts and hard work he must have gone through to reach her.
Although she said she is a florist but it must not have been that easy for him to figure out her location.
The rest of the day she was not in a good mood, it was not new for her to reject a man as she rejected many men before and never bothered herself about them but this was the first time, she was feeling bad for him but she had to stay strong as getting involved with Chance is not going to be a random hook-up, it feels serious.
'I love you' his words kept ringing in her mind and she called the day off at 6 pm and went to her home, her mind kept going back to him and she had to distract herself.
"You sure, you won't go?" Andy again asked her and Samantha shook her head saying she won't.
After reaching home, Samantha had a shower and then she saw the time and it was 7 pm.
Her mind kept wandering to the guy who would be at the Cannonball in an hour hopefully waiting for her but she again told herself to not go and be firm with her decision.
After 8 pm, she was still home and hoped Chance won't wait for her and would leave.
She was watching an episode of sitcom to distract herself, after thirty minutes that episode was over and with an absent mind, she changed the channel and switched to a news channel.
Her eyes grew wide in shock when she saw the news headlines.
There was an attack at the Cannonball restaurant and all the customers who visited the restaurant have been taken as hostages, it was some terrorist attack.
Samantha got very scared and worried about Chance, he has Foniasophobia and she feared this attack would have triggered his childhood memories, she remembers how David tried to handle him when he got to know about Mario's death.
Samantha couldn't keep calm, she changed her clothes and quickly headed out to the Cannonball restaurant which was fifteen minutes away from her place.
She was not sure what she can do by going there as she is an assassin and does not work for anti-terrorist squad, she can't fight terrorists but she still couldn't sit at home knowing he is in danger.
Samantha regretted not going to the restaurant, if she too would have been there then at least she would have been a moral support for him if nothing else.
After fifteen minutes she reached the area and as expected she saw San Diego police and San Diego's anti-terrorist squad, someone from the team stopped her and informed her that she can't go forward as the roads now have been blocked and asked her to leave.
"My boyfriend is in there, please let me stay here" She begged them.
