Carter smiled and had a seat beside the terrified Emma. "Now take a deep breath and slowly let it out, young lady. I need to speak to you about a few things."
Before Carter could say anything, in walked Daniel and Hyden. Hyden was all smiles. "Good afternoon Mr. Carter, glad you came down. Are you here to visit Patrick?"
"I'll see them in a little bit, but right now I need to speak to Emma." Hyden took the bait and went over and sat down.
Emma didn't know what to think. How did Carter and Hyden even know each other? But that was for another time.
Carter cleared his throat. "Emma Rich, I'm here on a mission—a recruiting mission—and you're my subject, young lady. I understand that the Metropolitan saw fit to release you from its employment during a difficult time in your life."
