10 am
"Good morning, Agent Bauer." The woman at the front desk greeted her with a smile. It was the same greeting she heard every morning from that same bright smile to the same intonations in her voice. She had arrived to HQ, masked this time as some sort of pharmaceutical corporation.
Katarina acknowledged her with a her own smile. "Good morning."
She pushed past the glass doors which lead into a marble hallway. At the end of this hallway was another set of doors. They hissed as they opened, and this second hallway was a little bit different. There was a conveyor belt that stretched from one end to the other, even though it was only about ten feet long. Katarina assumed the position, standing upright, holding her briefcase to her side as she had been instructed.
The belt began to move and it carried her across the x-ray search that showed what she carried on the monitors above the door at the end of the hall. She watched the little words on the digital screen explain the contents of her pockets, her briefcase, and explain the materials in her hairclip even, and she came to a full stop at the door.
"Welcome, Agent Bauer." The computerized voice said, as the second set of doors hissed and let her pass.
"Even the regular MI-5 unit didn't get security like this." She muttered to herself, amused at the overwhelming need to search for safety.
She walked down the long stretch of carpet before she turned left down the aisle and found herself in her cubicle. It was sparsely decorated, a picture frame containing a photo of her, her brother and her cousin from the last time they spent lunch together at the park. It was taken on her birthday last year.
Setting her briefcase on the side, Kat took a seat in her chair. It wasn't that she was exhausted, she was still considered new here, learning the ropes, and figuring out why she was actually sought out to become a part of this unit. It was only 10:00 a.m. and she was already thinking about lunch. The days had been dragging on lately.
