The sensation of the spotlight on her face was nothing to the heat n her own cheeks as the song ended. For a moment Faye was utterly unaware of the applause that broke out as her and Rollin finished singing Something Stupid. Indeed she had not been the Chief Intelligence Officer at all, nor would most recognize the Faye that appeared.

Rollin had suggested that there was an inner diva to be unleashed, but Faye didn’t think it was quite that. If anything it was a heightened accent of the things people knew about her in general, and only a few knew the deeper parts of.

Amongst the commotion of people chatting up Rollin’, Calloway did what all spooks were notorious (infamous?) for: she disappeared. She’d have laughed at that thought if it hadn’t been a something she had been used to doing her whole life. Slipping through the excited crowd and out the Lounge doors, Faye stood in the corridor, hands on her black satin pant covered hips. She forced herself to take deep breaths, but found herself shaky. It was some strange mix of anxiety and adrenaline and it honestly left her a little dizzy.

That persona, that sister or cousin of herself, vanished. Poof! Just because she had stepped out of her comfort zone, didn’t mean she didn’t struggle with the ramifications. What those were, however, were a mystery to her as Faye struggled to find her way back to the ease she had felt in her own skin just a few minutes earlier before Rollin’ had trained his gaze on her. If she had had the wherewithal, she would have continued walking and perhaps made it to her quarters, but for the moment, she was stuck here in this corridor, too close to the scene she had just made. Paralyzed.
