Alarmed, Denella reacted quickly. She turned to find the one person she wished wasn't breathing; Celcus.

"I see that you found your mother, but did you really think I was going to let you go this easily?" Celcus laughed. "You've also found your boss, but the truth is, I didn't take him and leave him here."

"Oh, come on. You can't be serious. Right now, your boyfriend is out on a mission."

"He's not my boyfriend!" Denella snapped sternly.

Celcus slowly walked closer to Denella and stopped in front of her. Using his hand, he pushed her hair out of her face and behind her ear. "Aggressive, I see. That's what I always liked about you. Well, Agent Heath is rescuing Judy Walker who is trapped beneath T.E.R.S.E."

Of course, the basement. Denella thought.

"Who knows if they'll make it out of there, alive that is, anyways."

Denella gulped.
