Ch.1 The Matchbox and Red Tie Affair

She stared at the dance hall. Her eyes riveted to the rhythm of the crowd. She held nothing but a box of matches which contained a very important message and a hat. Hats work as great disguises if your being followed. Once you turn the corner, you put the hat on but the person who is following you isn't looking for a hat. He's looking for a head of auburn hair. She quickly put the hat on and made her way into the crowd. Her instructions were simple, clear and precise. She was to find the man in the pin striped suit and red tie. He would be there, to the right of the stage, dancing with a girl who also has luxurious auburn hair. She was to dance with him and slip the match box into is hand as they began a promenade.

But something had gone wrong. Shee had followed her here and now she was searching for her. Yes, she found a man in the pin stripe suit, but he was dancing with someone else and he was not wearing a red tie. The man she was truly looking for was not here and her follower was one step behind her. So she did the only thing she knew.

She had been following the rhythm of the crowd with her eyes and now she quickly made her way into it. She heard the music and could feel her body moving to the rhythm but her mind and heart were on the task at hand.

There he was in the window. The man she was looking for, she was sure of it. But he was not dancing and he was not looking at her. He was running. He was running and pulling the girl with auburn hair behind him.

Something was wrong. Quinn felt all alone in the dance hall with her follower coming for her and the match box still in her hand. This match box which contained the biggest secret in all of human history. This could change the fate of the world...
