“Thank you for the info, but why exactly am I here?”

Shane took a seat at the foot of the bed “Because while Al and I were
at the hospital to check on you, someone was trying to drug you. So we
rescued you and brought you back here.”

Dana sat there stunned for a minute. She couldn’t believe Milky had
gone to the hospital to check on her. That might explain why she was
wearing this nurses uniform. But who would be out to get her other than
the Milky? Her enemy who turned out to be actually quite nice, caring
and hot. “Wow good to know. So Shane tell me what it is you know?”

Shane always had trouble opening up to people but for some reason Dana
was different. “Um honestly I rarely talk to women because I’m
painfully shy and don’t have much confidence in myself. I usually just
like to stay in the background.”

Dana smiled “Well that’s you’re first problem, you seem like you’re
uncomfortable in your own skin. You need to be more comfortable in your
own skin, just go with the flow. If you’re more comfortable with
yourself then you’ll start to have more confidence in yourself. This
will eventually pay off and little by little the shy Shane will
disappear.”

Shane listened contently to Dana. “Wow! I’ve never really looked at it like that before. Thank You!”

Mean while back at the CIA headquarters Director Kennard walked into her office munching on a Mounds.

“Chocolatechocolatechocolate”

Bette was sitting in the Directors chair with a huge smile on her face. “A Mounds huh?”

This startled Tina she wasn’t expecting anyone to be in her office,
where she planned on having a go at her 50 pound box of chocolates. She
smiled at Bette “What can I say, that’s two happy looking pieces of
chocolaty-covered sweet. Plus nuts just take up space where chocolate
ought to be.”

“I’ve always been more of an Almond Joy girl myself.”

“You know I used to feel like nuts, but now I don’t. How did you get into my office?”

“It was easy I just followed the Candy’s trail.”

Tina got an aggravated look on her face “Oh man! Did all my Hershey’s Kiss fall out of my pockets again!”
