Welcome to Gaia! ::

Before I could answer John's question - or make a witty comeback to his criticisms - or even reply to Sasha's question, an exclamation made me jump. I turned to see a girl with an excited expression on her pretty face.
"Y-yeah, that's me," I said nervously, still trying to slow my heartrate. "And you would be the other person that tracked me down via PDA?"
She didn't have to reply for me to know the answer. Without waiting for her name - rude of me, I know - I turned back to the other two real quick to respond to John's question.
"I have an idea where to start," I told him. "I Googled the guy. Mr. Doe gave me the name, and when I had a free minute at home, I looked him up. He runs a company just outside of Baltimore. It's kind of international - there are offices everywhere. I figure we go to the closest one and see if we can find out where to go to have a little chat with him."
I turned back to the new girl and smiled politely. "I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name. What was it?"

"How bout hell? I hear the people there are hot, and sexy. But anyways," I said in response to John's question, I turned to the new girl, Lynn, "SO, Lynn, What are you into?? Tacos or hottdogs or both?"

"What's with the pointless chatter?" I snapped, frustrated. "What do greasy meat products have to do with the situation at hand?" I looked at John. "I think John here is the only one taking this seriously. This person could end the world, for Christ's sake!"
I was fuming at these two girl's idle small talk. Didn't they know something big was going down?

"Well I've narrowed our routes of action to five unthinkable solutions. The first, order an airstrike on the place for no reason. The second break in the place interegate the guy and figure out what we need to know.
third unnecesarily run through his office building killing anyone who gets in our way. So what is your decision," I said sarcastically.

"Well then," I said, tossing the remainder of my fries into my mouth. I chewed quickly. "If there are no objections, I say we get going. You all can follow me, unless you have GPS systems. Ugh, screw it." I took out my notepad once again with a small pen, and scrawled hurriedly on three different pieces of paper, handing each piece to each person.
"These are directions to the place," I told them. "So no one gets lost. So let's rock this b***h." With those as my parting words, I got back in my car and turned it on, waiting for everyone to do the same before I left.

I had been driving too much today, but here I was again, behind the wheel. I didn't wait for anyone else to climb into their car - they had directions. I began to speed northeast, toward Baltimore. I knew what the place looked like - big and intimidating, silhouetted against the Cheasapeke skyline, from a certain angle. I wasn't looking forward to it, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. And if that certain thing a girl's gotta do happens to be killing a man, well, it wasn't exactly going to be easy...

Too soon, I arrived in front of the enormous, drab office building. I sat in my car, breathing slowly, deeply, waiting for everyone to arrive. I knew John had been almost right behind me, but I had no idea where Lynn and Sasha were.... Hopefully, they'd be arriving soon, so we could get this over with. I wasn't exactly sure why we all had to be there, but, hey, the more the merrier.

"Damn," I said, heaving a sigh. "I was hoping no one would get here this soon. And how did you get here before John? Never mind, I don't care." I climbed out of my car. "I've got half a mind to go in there without everyone, but the other half is telling me not to. God knows, we might need to split up for some reason."
Yeah, I thought, I think only God does know...
