As soon as she entered their shared workspace, Megan was at her side. "What happened? You just went missing last night?"

Rain smiled slightly, keeping her tone casual. "I wasn't feeling well, so I left early." She then gestured for Megan to follow her into her private office. Once inside, Rain closed the door, locking it behind them, and pulled Megan to sit down.
