[color=7ea7d8]"You know that we would have just taken my car."[/color] 

[color=9e0039]"Sorry sir, but your car is a dump. A Frankensteined Jalopy."[/color]

A soft chuckle could he heard from the passenger's seat. He wasn't even aware that the young folk still used 'Jalopy' as an insult. Another chuckle emerged. Was he not part of those young folk? Since when was he getting so old?

He couldn't complain too much, however. Cassie did indeed have what could be considered a hollywood spy car. Her 2016 ferrari f12 berlinetta was her everything, aside from her collection of signed Nic Cage movies. Despite being as new as can be and top of the line, she put in a request and a large sum of money to have the vehicle retrofitted to suit all of her dreams. Internal comm system, computer, siriusXM radio all the time, hooks, oil, boosters, ejector seats. If it was in any movie, it was in her car.

Nic's car did not do those things. He smiled at the girl with his wicked smile. [color=7ea7d8]"But is gets the job done, my dear Cassie."[/color] His words bordered on insanity, as he was prone to doing at times.

A smile appeared on Cassie's face. She did enjoy working with the former movie star. She sometimes wondered how she got to be his partner, but them remembered that this was also the man who bought two castles, a yacht, and an emu on a whim.

[color=9e0039]"So, what did the police give us? Other than our current destination, I mean."[/color] Cass inquired. Nic normally did the driving, and she held the files, but for the first time, the roles were switched. She enjoyed that more than Nic could understand. She was a fresh agent, and needed a little murder or suicide case to start spreading her wings.

Nic flipped through the file the police chief had given them. Of course he was a little suspicious when he and Cassie arrived and showed their badge of a smaller known, but immensely large in budget organization, but everything had been sorted out since then.

[color=7ea7d8]"Her name was Sarah Reed. Student at Ouranos Academy. Police are calling it just a disappearance, but I don't think any high school kid would be this good at just up and leaving. Didn't seem to show any signs of depression or mental illness."[/color] He listed off the notable parts of the file and watched as Cassie nodded along.

[color=7ea7d8]"I think it was an abduction. Or murder. Maybe both."[/color]

Cassie went wide-eyed and looked at him incredulously as the reached a red light. [color=9e0039]"You can't be serious. Not only is that heinous, but there hace been no signs of human trafficking in the area."[/color]

[color=7ea7d8]"I'm just throwing ideas in the air. You remember Sao Paulo."[/color]

Cassie shuddered at the memory, looking away and driving once more.
