Right Here

Part 16: Inflitrate the Enemies Lair

I expected Lauren to take some time before she jumped into messing around with Cassian's head. However, I should've known that she would jump right into it. As I'm walking into work this morning, I get a text from Lauren about Cassian.

Lauren:

I have a date with
dipshit tonight.

Helen:

Well...that was fast.
How'd you manage that one?

Lauren:

It wasn't too hard.
I appeared upset
And vulnerable and he
swept right in like Prince
Charming and played the whole
gentlemen's act.

He asked me if I would go out
with him tonight: so he
could help me take my mind off
of my heartbreak.

Helen:

Bahaha! What heartbreak
are you going through?

Lauren:

Well, I had to make it
juicy to catch his interest.
So I said that Max and I had
been sneaking around and
now that you and him are
a thing, my heart is
shattered.

Helen:

You used Max to bait him?
What if he starts his
shit at work and Max catches
word of it?

Lauren:

Then you'll cover my
tracks for me. Tell him
I'm doing the world a service.

Helen:

I don't know about this.
He isn't stable Lauren.
Cassian is very smart and cunning.

Lauren:

And you're saying I'm
not??

Helen:

That's not what I'm saying
at all. I'm saying that Cassian
Can get you to believe and do
anything: even when you believe
you've made the decision yourself.

Lauren:

Duely noted.

I have to go.

I fill you in after the date.

Helen:

Okay. Be safe!

I wonder what her plan of attack is going to be? Dinner? Fooling around? I wish she would have given me some kind of insight into all of this. I don't like not knowing- especially when it involves Cassian.

"Mama!! Morning!" I hear Luna running up behind me and as I turn, I see her trip. She falls face first and there's blood coming from her lip. Racing to her, I get there before Max. "Ahhhhhh!!!!!"
