Eric and Mia arrived at HQ early. Mia had gathered all the documents they needed the night prior, so she carried a folder filled to the brim with papers. Eric had offered to carry it for her, but she refused.
"I am an intelligence officer, you dolt!" She said for the final time, smacking him playfully. "If I can't handle a few papers, I may as well resign." He laughed as they entered the command room.
Eric and Mia quieted down as they looked around the room. It was true, every member of the Alliance was there. Dragon King Tryasche was in the middle of lecturing his two senior advisers, and Eric had to hold back a chuckle. He leaned over and whispered into Mia's ear. "It looks like when Milano chews out Michael and I."
She ignored him as she opened the folder, spreading documents out in front of her. They were arranged in order so that if she was called upon, she could answer quickly and concisely.
