In Paul's office
Paul enters the room.
"Where did you go?" Asks Jack.
"To the toilet," Paul replies.
Jack looks at Paul and says, "You look nervous."
"Jack," says Chloe, and Jack looks away from Paul to her. "I was able to decode the second file."
"Good job," says Jack. "What does it say?"
"The truth is that this is the problem," Chloe says. "It says only the name of a hotel and a room number."
"What about the rest of the information in the file?" Asks Jack.
"This file works with the third file," says Chloe. "Which means that in order to know the rest of the information in this file, we need to decode the third file and then combine the information."
"Okay," says Jack. "what's the address?"
"Hotel Garcia, room number 1609," says Chloe.
"I'll go there now," Jack says.
"I'm coming with you," Paul says.
"No, you'll stay here," Jack says.
"Jack, when they gave me the card I saw one of the terrorists," Paul lies. "You need me in the field, I can identify them."
"Okay, you can go with me, but without a weapon, okay?" Says Jack.
"Yes," Paul replies.
Jack turns to Tony and says, "I want you and Chloe to keep working here in secrecy, I don't want anyone to know what we're doing."

"Even George?" Asks Tony.
"Yes," says Jack. "And stay in touch with us all the time."
"Okay," says Tony.
Jack and Paul leave the room.
At Johnny's position
Johnny sits next to Nicole. Johnny watches Jack and Paul while there are leaving Paul's office.
"What do you think they're doing there?" Johnny asks.
Who? "Nicole asks.
"Jack, Chloe, Tony and Paul," Johnny says. "They've been in Paul's temporary office for a while, they seem to be planning something.
"I don't know and it's none of your business," Nicole says.
"What happened to you?" Says Johnny. "Most of these things interest you."
"I'm busy now, okay?" Grumbling Nicole.
"We'll just check for one second and we'll be back," Johnny tries to convince her.
"I have a lot of work now and I want to prevent the attempted assassination of Senator David Palmer," says Nicole. "I can't waste time now on your spy games, so if you want to spy on them you'll do it on your own."
"What is the matter with you?" Says Johnny as he nods his head and rolls his eyes. "I just wanted to know what they were doing."
In the kitchen in a house
9:24:56, 9:24:57, 9:24:58, 9:24:59
A woman in her fifties walks into the kitchen. She has brown hair of medium length, smooth and tidy. In the kitchen sits her husband, a fifty-something man with short gray hair. The man is reading a newspaper and next to him is a hot cup of coffee.
"He said he would be here at eight," says the woman.
"So he's late," says her husband, sipping coffee.
"His flight is at eleven and he doesn't answer the phone," the woman says anxiously.

"Maybe the battery of his phone is over."
"No, when I called him the phone rang."
Her husband finishes his coffee and says, "Look, he might be in a hurry to his flight and he doesn't have time to talk to you now."
"And what about the friend he's flying with?" Says the woman. "Do you have his number?"
"No."
"What can we do?" The woman asks anxiously.
"Don't worry, Ronny can take care of himself, he'll probably be back in a few hours, he's probably busy now," says her husband, rising from the chair.
He goes up to her and says, "I have to go to work now, I'm sure that in a few hours it will turn out that everything was fine, so don't worry.
"Yes" says the woman while she is hoping for the best, but inside her she has a mixed feeling about it.
He kisses her on the cheek. He walks to the front door and leaves the house.
In the kitchen at Hotel Garcia
A waiter enters the kitchen. He walks to a side room next to the kitchen. He leans against the wall, takes out his phone and calls.
Split screen: The waiter is in the kitchen while he is talking to James in the main room of the old building.
"What took you time to get there?" Asks James.
"I told you, my shift is at ten," says the waiter. "For you, I managed to start the shift a half an hour earlier."
"Well, it doesn't matter as long as you arrive before they clean rooms at ten," James says.
"What room is he in?"
"Room 1609," replies James.
"OK."
"And when you get rid of the body, call me," James says, and hangs up.
The waiter puts his phone in his pocket.

Delicate as Glass
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Nuri, an [Assistant Glassworker], only has a single Skill. It’s really not fair. He’s worked in the hot shop his entire life, following in his father’s footsteps after his parents passed away, but he’s stuck. Despite possessing above-average talent as an artisan, he still hasn’t shed his [Assistant] status, gained a second Skill, or even leveled enough to reach the first Threshold. Besides, he’s bored; most days he daydreams of adventure and becoming a hero, or pines for the renown that’s sure to be his if he evolves his Class into a [Master Glass Smith], but nothing ever changes—until suddenly, fate strikes, and nothing is ever the same again. These days, Nuri sees more magic, prestige, and adventure than he can handle as he gets swept up in realm-shaking conspiracies and desperate fights for his life. Maybe a boring life wasn’t so bad after all. Disclaimers: 1) Names were mostly chosen through random generators and aren’t necessarily final. If they seem derivative or boring, blame RNG. 2) Skills, Classes, levels, and the entire system is currently a work in progress; please be kind if it’s not very well fleshed out yet. 3) This is the first full-length novel I've set out to write without a single plot point ready. I had nothing in mind other than a recent visit to a hot shop. Molten glass is pretty awesome. 4) Related, I know much less about glass than I’d like. I did some research, but mistakes are bound to happen. If you have a correction, thanks! Please be polite about it. 5) The prose is my experimental attempt at first-person, present tense. I realize it may not be everyone’s preference, but I hope you’ll give it a try anyway!
