LET'S GET SOME COFFEE AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD
| Four months prior to THIS |
Dana lounged back in her chair - the paper in her hands flicking idly up in the light wind. The cafe around her hummed with the chatter of afternoon students and businessmen, all settled in their respective islands of calm, sipping their coffee just like her. There was music coming from somewhere - a live band in the park opposite no doubt. All in all, it was a rather pleasant place to spend the afternoon.
Of course, the choice of venue was no accident. If there was one thing that Dana knew, it was people - how they behaved, how to manipulate them. The first steps of manipulation started long before any words were spoken. In that thought - Dana had chosen to sit outside - far less intimidating if the option for escape was left open for her prey. It didn't matter that there were Cabal agents littered through the street and coffee shop - the appearance of safety was all that mattered.
Ms Freelander, though - was late. Typical.
If Dana's suspicions were correct, the paranoid girl was probably making passes back and forwards past the cafe. The thought brought an amused smirk to Dana's lips as she took another sip of her coffee.
