Natalie POV.

I uploaded the video to CliqueMe and tagged Daniel before I left for work in the morning. Now all our family members could be entertained watching Daniel scream like a girl.

It received 257 likes and 105693 comments within two hours.

Apart from that, the rest of the day pretty much passed quietly and uneventfully (much to Callie's relief that there would be a repeat of the Blondie episode). Then afternoon came and I found Daniel sitting in one of my booths. Smirking, I avoided him and walked towards another table where three "eighteen" year old girls were sitting. They all ordered beer and I checked their ID's. Which had to be fakes. Letting it slide, I served them their beer and took my time dawdling over to Daniel's table.

"What would you like to have, sir?" I asked him politely (if not sarcastically. Kabras never called unworthy people "sir". In fact, we never called anybody sir.)

"I'll have the frappe how I usually have it. Blend the ice correctly."

Daniel glared at me and I gloated.

I took my time to give the order to the barista, then I took my time to serve Daniel his frappe. Banging the tall glass against the table top, I made sure to splatter some frappe all over his shirt.

Before he had time to react appropriately, I excused myself and hid in the staff waiting room before emerging a few minutes later.

Without looking at Daniel, though his reaction would have been funny, I served the rest of the customers till he stalked out. Then, I walked over to clear the table. I picked up the napkin left on the table to wipe up the mess that Daniel had, no doubt, purposely left on the table and stifled a scream when a cockroach ran down my hand.

Once I was on the floor, I started to repeatedly wipe my hand-the contaminated one- down the side of my uniform while stomping on the offending cockroach.

Whirr.

Click.

The stupid cockroach broke into tiny metal parts.

I stomped on it some more and kicked it below the table, because I would definitely not be the one cleaning it up. That was so childish of him. It was time to start planning my next prank.

Picking up the napkin, I found a note written on the back of it.

Thanks for the video upload, Natty dear.

I hope you enjoyed that little surprise, because … Just because.

You splattered frappe on Ian's shirt, stupid. Have fun explaining it to him.

Meet me at eight today, outside the café. After you knock off.

Ian and Amy want us to do some sneaking in Tolliver's office. You should eat this napkin now, to destroy the evidence.

Dan the ninja

P.S: Im really sorry about the mess I left. Didn't really mean to spill the frappe all over the seat and the table, and make you clean it up. Too bad.

I flushed the napkin down the toilet.

At eightI stood outside the café, still fuming over the mess I had to clean up.

Daniel came strolling down the pavement leading to the café and gave me a wide grin. I resisted the urge to slap him.

"Yes?" I said nastily.

He opened his mouth to reply when Tolliver interrupted us. He barged in and grinned sickly at me.

"Still here, Natalie?" He asked sweetly.

Um.

I nodded dumbly.

"You should go home, you know. Right after knocking off. And I assume your boyfriend here is going to escort you home. Don't want anyone to be loitering around, do we?" He dared me to disagree, eying my supposed boyfriend up and down, wondering why he was decked in a full-out ninja outfit.

"Yes, darling. Let's go." The ninja replied for me before I had time to correct Tolliver about my current relationship status with him. He dragged me away by the arm as Tolliver entered the café. Moments later, Daniel promptly dragged me back where we had come from. Staring through the front door, we watched as Tolliver entered the back room where his office was located at. After the door swung shut, we traipsed into the café and went into the same back room.

"Why did you have to come with me? Amy and Ian could have asked me to do this myself. "I grumped to Daniel, making sure to whisper.

We stalked Tolliver up a flight of stairs. There was a corridor and he stopped in front of a door. Keying in the password, the electronic locks clicked and the door slid open smoothly after approximately seven seconds. Seemed like someone had a laggy system…

Daniel dragged me behind a statue. We crouched down together and he asked me to keep quiet till he explained things to me. We stayed in the same position for so long my leg cramps were starting to get leg cramps. Finally, Tolliver exited the room clutching a thermos.

He walked down the stairs, and both Daniel and I waited for a moment before getting up to enter the room. Once I had gotten up, I almost crashed down again due to my leg cramps. Stupid leg cramps. The ninja pulled me up in time and moi hobbled over to the entrance clutching his arm for support. Ninja keyed in the code.

Wait.

How did he get the code?

Seven seconds of whirring and the door slid open. We walked in. No duh.

When the door closed, I had plenty of questions for ninja.

"How did you know the code? Why do you not get leg cramps? What are we supposed to do? Why was I NOT INFORMED ABOUT THIS MISSION WE HAVE AT AN EARLIER DATE?"

Daniel the ninja started rummaging through a stack of papers on a desk while answering me.

"I saw the position of his hands on the keypad and memorized it. Also, 2468 is not a very hard password to crack."

He paused for a while to stare at a piece of paper.

"I did not get leg cramps because ninjas simply do not get leg cramps. Um and Amy said to find some contract thing. Vespers and whatnot. Blah blah. I...uh... wasn't really listening. Plus I think you weren't informed about this sooner because Ian and Amy only found out about some blah blah thing today and decided to send us to find some document because they wanted to go catch a movie. So start looking for the contract."

"Wasn't listening?" I hissed "Of course. Now here we are. Fruitlessly searching for some document we don't know about because you were simply NOT LISTENING."

Still, I pulled open drawers and tried to find something Vesper-related. Nothing. Daniel was still leafing through stacks of paper. Finally, I pulled open a drawer partially and saw files labeled with names. Names of Cahills.

Grace Cahill. Sinead Starling. Ian Kabra. Everyone was there.

I tried to pull the drawer open wider.

"Daniel!" I whisper-screamed (when someone is trying to be loud yet silent at the same time. That's a whisper-scream. Ta-ta.)

"Yeah?" He turned around. Before I could answer, we both heard the whirring of the electronic locks. Tolliver was coming back and we had approximately seven seconds to run. Six.

Daniel's eyes widened.

I tried to open the drawer. Jammed.

"Run!" he whisper-screamed.

"Run where?" I whisper-screamed back.

"Jump out of the window!"

"I will NOT. Jump out of the window."

Daniel grabbed me and we jumped out of the second-floor window.

The bad news: Daniel actually lacked ninja skills and was unable to land on his feet.

The good news: We landed in the middle of some bushes. Now we were hidden by the bushes.

The other bad news: Thorny bushes.

More bad news: Daniel managed to land on top of me and we were both winded.

We were helpless when Tolliver stuck his head out of the window and shouted "Is someone there?"

Obviously, he suspected something. I hoped that he couldn't see us due to the cover of darkness+the bushes.

Tolliver then poured a thermos-full of hot tea out of the window. It splashed by our legs and Daniel, scalded by the tea, had not gotten enough air in his lungs to scream (which was rather lucky).

Tolliver waited for a moment before shutting the window, but it took Daniel and I some time to clamber out of the bushes and to take a taxi home. Daniel's ninja suit was ruined and my lovely Chanel bag was ruined.

It was an awkward ride home, and I was unwilling to discuss matters with him in the taxi.

Finally we pulled up and my darling brother opened the door.

"You ruined my dress shirt Natalie!" he howled then saw the state that Daniel and I were in.

Ian stepped aside to let us pass and we both collapsed upon the sofa. My legs ached and I was going to have a lot to discuss with Ian. And Amy. Mainly about the fact that they had gone to catch a movie together.
