Once in the tunnel, I line-up in-between Sophia and Raven then I wait for us to be called out.

Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Sophia out onto the field.

Once on the field we stand in line for a few seconds then we shake hands with the Inter New York players.

After we shake hands, we take a starting XI picture, Jaelin does the coin toss, then we do our team huddle before we head onto the field.

"Are Talia and Leah coming tomorrow?" Raven asks.

"No clue Mrs. Nightingale." I say as I look at my wife.

Raven and I went to the courthouse the day after Raven came home from the kidnapping.

"I have no clue."

"Where's your tie?" Raven asks as I look at the national team schedule for the next year.

"Uh on the table

"Uh on the table." I say as I put the schedule down then I grab my red tie.

"Thank you." Raven says then my wife grabs my tie, puts it around my neck and ties it for me.

"I can't believe I have to do this." I say.

"Well it was a big deal so they wanna talk to the woman in charge." Raven says.

We drew 1-1 yesterday and now I'm testifying in front of congress.

In the summer of 2022 my Sentinel security company was hired to be security at a covert CIA base in the middle east and basically there was another Benghazi incident.

Luckily my company was able to keep everyone safe until reinforcements arrived.

Now I have to talk about all this shit in front of congress.

Whew.

"They should want to talk to the person who was in charge on the ground." I say.

"True." Raven says then someone knocks on the door of my get ready room.

"Come in." I say then my sister pokes her head into my room.

"They're ready for you." Cosette says.

"Oh joy." I say as Raven finishes tying my tie then I grab my binders full of shit regarding this situation.

Once I have the binders I follow Raven out of the room then we head to whatever room I'm testifying in.

Eventually we get to the room so I kiss my wife then I head to the table thing I'll be sitting at while testifying.

Once at the table I set my stuff up then I sit down and wait.

"May we call you Freya." One of the shitty congresswomen asks. 

"You may not." I say. "My friends are the only one's who get to say my name so you can refer to me as Mrs. Nightingale."

The room becomes kinda awkward and tense so the lead dude in the room clears his throat as I see a red light come on the camera that I can see in front of me.

"Mrs. Nightingale thank you for joining us today." The lead dude of this subcommittee says. "How are you today?"

"Confused why I am here." I admit. "I had no involvement with what happened in Qadiya so I'm not sure what you hope to learn from me." 

"You are the CEO and Director of Sentinel Security are you not?" The lead dude says.

"I am, but we have 250 divisional offices around the world and I can't always be fully involved in everything so I leave most of the decisions to the local office director." I say. "I have the director of the Sentinel Security Middle East office here today if you'd like him to join."

"That'd be great." A different dude says then I look over at the director of the Sentinel Security Middle East office.

"This is Husain el-Qasim." I say as the director of the Sentinel Security Middle East office sits with me.

"Hello." Husain says as he sits down then I push the binders to sit in-between us.

"Everyone ready?" The lead dude asks and everyone nods. "Then let's get started."
