In the town where everything cliched occurs, Ella is sent a message with a simple task. These messages are demanding and she unknowingly got herself into the mess by complying with the messages.

"No!" I instantly replied. I didn't want to get dressed up for nothing. He can't know that much? Right?
I unhooked my arm and decided to walk away. Maybe my uncle will know something.
"Aww, don't be like that Ella!" He followed behind me.
"I refuse to go. I don't want to waste a night playing dress up." I stopped and told him. Does it look like I enjoy going to dances?
"We don't have to stay the whole night," he promised and after a sigh, "You don't have to wear a fancy dress."
"But why? Isn't there another price?" I complained.
"Mmm... No." He acted as if he was thinking but his mind was already made up.
"But why?" I repeated.
"I'll tell you if you agree to go with me," he persuaded. I want to know but am I desperate enough to say yes. Questions, questions, questions; they're going to drive me insane.
"When exactly an I going to find out these answers?" I enquired.
"After you hold up your end of the bargain."
"No way! You could continue blackmailing me with the answers afterwards," I exclaimed.
"Fine, fine, fine. I'll tell you now but you'll have to promise to come or I'll drag you there regardless," he negotiated.
"Ok, you have a deal." We shook hands.
We then decided to go to the ice cream place in town to talk. We went to to the counter to get our ice cream. I ordered chocolate (the best flavour) whilst Calvin order strawberry. We sat down at a booth and I dived into eating my ice cream, momentarily forgetting the real reason I was here. This ice cream in the best thing I've ever had. Yum!
Calvin cleared his throat, "So where do I start?"
I licked my lips before replying, "The beginning is usually a good place."
"Umm okay... So I was a recruit two years ago. This is my third year in the business and this project was a bit different." He paused to eat some of his ice cream as it melted.
"How different?"
"Well the project was based on a person who was busy with the recruitment phase. Also I had to keep them away from 2 people, instead of one." He paused again to make sure I was following. I have a feeling this person is me...
"Oh so who this person?" I asked to make sure my idea was correct.
