The sound of a flushing toilet was heard before a young woman stepped out of the stall. She put her hand under a soap dispenser before rinsing it off on the sink. As she closed the tap, she subconsciously looked at her reflection in the mirror. Amy had never looked so haggard in her life. She had slept late during the previous night to ensure Dylan was safe. Her mind took her back to when Dylan called her.

"Boss! I'm back in New York but this is not the welcome I was expecting!"

Her heart initially dropped when she heard his complaint. She was beginning to worry until she heard his next statement. "I mean, why would you have Officer May handle things for me?"

"What's wrong with Officer May?" Amy asked, unsure of where he was going with the conversation. Then she heard him whisper into the phone, "She swings the other way."

"..." Amy's lips twitched.

"How soon can I leave Officer May?" he asked. So he was saying these things while the woman was there. Amy was glad she was not there but she was embarrassed for him instead.

"Your next flight is in two hours. That should be enough time for Danny to be ready." The woman sounded like she was unbothered by Dylan's behavior. Danny was having his hair dyed and would impersonate Dylan when it was time.

"You mean I'm stuck with you for two hours? I can't even ask you to pretend to flirt with me", Dylan grumbled. Amy was so annoyed with him, she had never wanted to punch him more than in that moment.

"Officer May, thank you for doing this, I'll remember this favor. And deal with him as you see fit should he try anything", Amy spoke with so much politeness leaving Dylan buffled.

"No, no. This is the least we can do after what you did for us."

Officer May could clearly remember when these two previously helped in saving innocent lives. There was a plane that had been hijacked by terrorists who had the pilots redirect the plane destination at gun point. With a little help from pilots available on ground and flight control, they hacked into the plane's system and locked the pilots out. No matter how hard they tried, they could not disengage autopilot nor did the plane listen to any of their commands.

Unfortunately, one of the pilots suffered a beating when the terrorists thought them to be playing tricks. They only believed them when the plane randomly gained altitude, then did a nose dive only to gain momentum and randomly change directions. The experience was scary for everyone in the plane including the terrorists. They didn't suspect anything even when the plane 'randomly' flew back to JFK where the authorities apprehended them.

This was the first time Officer May saw Dylan because Amy always worked remotely. She could vividly remember the happy and crying faces of the passengers that even she cried on the spot. So when she was contacted to help Dylan escape some enemies, she readily agreed.

"Wait, did you say next flight?" Dylan suddenly asked.

"How do you feel about Italian food?" Amy asked nonchalantly. She could almost picture his face when he excitedly shouted, "Boss!"

But this is not what was currently bugging Amy. What Amy did not anticipate was someone else impersonating Dylan to look like he had left the airport, and the commotion caused by George Stewart. And to top it off, the three men following Dylan in the Bahamas were part of George Stewart's bodyguard entourage.

And they contributed to the diversion Danny had created and even restrained the men while Dylan left the country. Was it all a coincidence? But then that email said something like helping her plan run smooth. If it's not a coincidence, then could it be that the emailer-

The sound of someone walking into the bathroom snapped her out of her reverie. She dried her hands and walked out. She had to get to the bottom of things if not this would continue to bother her. But if it was really Zachery, then what?

Her heart lept at the thought. The man was not there yet she felt nervous. She let out a shaky breath as she wiped her palms against her leggings. Stella and Adrianne were waiting for her by the gym exit. Although she had slept late, she still came out to the gym with the ladies.

But as she walked towards them, something caught her eye. There were a couple of ladies surrounding Stella and Adrianne, but there seemed to be tension in the air. They walked away when Amy approached, but she managed to catch the dirty glances directed at her.

"Everything okay?" Amy asked with brows raised. Stella fought to suppress her annoyance and forced a smile, "It's nothing, dear."

"Yes, don't worry about it Emily. Let's go", Adrianne also forced a smile. Although it bothered her, she was not going to force them to say anything. Something about the way those women stared at her annoyed her.
