They both took a few steps back and I felt like I could finally breath again.   Reyes sighed as he pulled out his phone, "why don't you three show the kid around for a bit then show him to his room?  Me and Jack have business we need to attend too."  'Cassidy' cocked a brow at what Reyes had said, but at what? I'm not really sure of. 

I didn't even get a second to think about it though, because Lena had grabbed one of my hands that was gripping the hat and started to pull me along, leading me towards a larger building.  Angela kept the pace, following on my other side.  I just let out a soft squeak as I help up his hat slightly in my free hand.  Angela just let out a small chuckle before taking it from me and placing it on my head, "we'll keep it as hostage to make sure he actually comes" she said in a joking a way, loud enough for for the cowboy to hear. 

Lena laughed and bounced a bit, "you're going to have so much fun here!" 

"Lena be careful! You're practically dragging the poor boy!" She said laughing softly. 

I just smiled softly at their excitement with me being here.   But I couldn't help but glance back, just in time to see Reyes push Cassidy our way before him and Morrison headed the other direction.  The two lead me inside and started down a hallway before I felt the hat come off my head, "I'll be taking that back darlin" I heard next to my ear making me jump a bit.

"Cassidy! Don't scare him like that!" Lena protested softly as she stomped her foot. 

Angela just laughed softly before hooking her arm around mine, "you'll get you to their shenanigans and learn to ignore it." She said softly as she lead me down a hall.  "Now let's continue with the tour!" She said in a chipper tone. 

I can hear Lena dramatically gasp from behind us as we started to leave her and the cowboy behind, "hey! Wait up!" I heard her yell trying to catch up with us. 

As the two continued to show me around and all the things they had, I'd eventually moved more behind them than with them.  Which I didn't really mind cause it started to feel crowded  in some hallways.  I took in a lot of what I was told and shown.  Like the many different training rooms and shoot ranges, the cafeteria, a small library, offices, med bay.... There's a lot.  I was mentally questioning how they never got lost walking around this place, it was like a maze. 

Even though I was listening to what they were saying and telling me, my eyes kept drifting to the cowboy.  Even with Lena constantly grabbing my attention, it also didn't hurt that my bangs were helping hide my glaze.  But as the tour went on, I noticed Angela down at her wrist, humming softly.   I cocked my head ever so slightly to the side, but before I could ask if anything was wrong, lenas voice came booming in my face, "Aaand this is your room!  It's so exciting to have you here!" She was now bouncing in her place, "how do you like it so far?"  She said spinning on her heal to properly face me.  My cheeks flushed slightly at how excited she was.

'...How can someone have so much constant energy?...'

"I-it's all looks really nice... really big though..." I said smiling a lil, moving a hand behind my head. 

Angela seem to chuckle at this, "don't worry (first name).  Everything will be much easier to navigate in no time.  Plus! If you have any questions you can always ask one of us,  or Jack....Gabriel  if it's urgent, or any of the other agents here."  She said, keeping her voice welcoming and soft.  She then reached into her coat pocket, pulling out a small piece of paper.  "Sadly though, I have some business that needs attending too as well as Lena.  But don't you worry, one of us will come accompany you for dinner.  Just try to relax and take some time to adjust mein Kleine maus." She said clapping her hands together.
