Irene felt excitement run up and down up her spine. She was on a trip. To Cape Verde. Paid completely by Boss Man. Of course she was given an adult escort of a single nice lady from the base. Her name was Kacey or something. Irene couldn't remember, she was terrible at names. Apparently there were special people like her here and she had to bring them back home where they'd be safe. He told her to bring them in any way she could. She would do her best to convince them.

"Hey, uh... Nice lady." Irene squished Bill against her chest while giving her puppy dog eyes. "I, uh, think it might be best if I... If I look for them alone. I think if they saw you they'd be scared. I know I'd be if I didn't know you."

The nice lady nodded her head. "Fine, but I'll be keeping an eye on you from afar. I don't want you getting hurt or into any trouble."

Irene giggled. "OK, you're so nice, worrying about me and stuff."

The lady smiled as she stepped away from the docks that they were standing on. Irene was sure the nice lady wouldn't be far at all, but she had to go looking for special people. She walked into the street and looked around with an excited smile. Then she heard several voices and looked around wondering where they were coming from. No one's lips were moving the same way that the words were.

~Um.... Um... Hi.~ 

She felt really nervous now. New people. How would she deal with them? She hoped they were as nice as the Boss Man and would listen to her.
