Hi guys, i'm so sorry I haven't updated this in a while! I am working on it I promise, but I have been held up because I don't like the tense I have been using and I realize that I keep changing tenses, so I took chapter 1 and re-wrote it in Present tense. here is the deal, I will ask you to go back and read chapter 1, then come back here and read this version, and tell me witch one you like better. If you like this version I will edit the other chapters to be present tense, If you like the old one better then I will continue to write past tense. and my dog keeps jumping on my laptop so I'm having trouble typing.

The day started out pretty normal, I got up and put on my favorite green maxi skirt, jean jacket, and baseball cap, then took my usual walk around the park, and now I was headed toward the coffee shop that has free wifi. But as I'm walking into the coffee shop I get the feeling that today will be anything but normal.

"Good morning Victoria." I say to the girl behind the counter as I walk in.

"Good morning Kennedy. Your usual?" I nod in response and hand her two dollars and fifty cents, and she gives me my vanilla scone. I make my way back to my normal spot, a table for one in the back, but I stop dead in my tracks when I see a boy already sitting there. He has short brown hair and is wearing a red hoodie, I glare at him for a minute before turning and taking a seat on one of the bar stools at the counter. I slouch over and take a bite of my scone as I watch Victoria come towards me.

"What's wrong Kennedy, Your normal spot not good enough for you this morning?" She asks with a smile.

"There's already someone sitting there." I grump, Victoria leans over the counter to see.

"Oh yeah, him, he came in just befor you did," the little bell above the door rings and we both turn to see a customer coming in, "Oops, gotta go, enjoy your scone." She adds then goes back to the cash register. I sit in silence and eat my scone, until something on the TV screen in the corner catches my eye, It's a news story about something called S.H.I.E.L.D. I think I've heard that name before. I watch the rest of the news story not being able to hear most of it over the noise in the shop, but now my curiosity is piqued. I reach into my backpack and pulled out my silver laptop, as I open the top the screen immediately lights up and I go to work typing, I read web pages, watch news videos, and do all sorts of research. Hours pass as I sit typing and watching the crowd change around me, the boy is no longer sitting in my spot but I don't move, I'm too involved in what I'm doing.

I pause in my work when Victoria comes around the counter and sits on the stool next to me, she hands me a sandwich.

"Thanks, but I don't have anymore money." I explain, handing the sandwich back.
"Don't worry, It's on me. So what have you been working on for the past three hours?" I take the sandwich and unwrap the plastic wrap.

"It's nothing." I lie turning my screen so she can't see it, I take a bite of my sandwich and go back to typing, just a few more keystrokes and I'll be done.

"Must be a pretty important nothing if you spend three hours on it." Victoria nags, I see a loading bar telling me that it's working and quickly close the screen as Victoria tries to grab it.

"Hey, no touchy!" I shout clutching my laptop to my chest, I heard it ding.

"Come on, what's the big secret?" She wines.

"Nothing, now can I please get back to it?" I ask setting my laptop back on the counter.

"Why won't you tell me, I thought we we're friends?" she fake pouts. Before I can answer the door bursts open and in come a bunch of men dressed in black and armed with large guns.

"Oops." is all I can manage to say as I stare at them wide eyed

"What did you do!?" Victoria yells as she grabs my laptop and opens the screen, "you hacked into a government organization!?" She continues to yell. Of course the soldiers hear her and come right for me, I try to run but there's nowhere to go, one of the soldiers grabs me and another holds a piece of cloth to my face, it smells sweet, I try struggling but it is no use, my limbs are getting tired, I go limp in their grasp, my eyelids feel heavy, I look around and see Victoria standing behind the soldiers confused and scared, then I slipped away into unconsciousness.
