Talia had set up the taxi driver to come get her and arrive back at headquarters several minutes early. She did not know what the night would bring, but she had her large overcoat with her once more, with the ribbons in her bag, and was ready for whatever happened... as ready as she could be. She hoped her parents would forgive her for what she was about to do and especially, for the fact that she hadn't even told them about it. 

Readying herself, she made her way confidently to the door of the headquarters once more only to find that she wasn't alone waiting at the door. The guy so ironically and fittingly named "The Finger" was also outside. She greeted him in a more friendly manner this time as she hoped that they could begin to establish a more relaxed rapport, since apparently the plan was for her to walk in with him in order to get into their first assignment. She still didn't know how she felt about that plan yet, but she had nothing better to offer and even if she had, she wouldn't dare have assumed that her suggestions would be of equal importance.
