Rubiks Cube of Complexities

Attention please! Attention please! Don't dare to talk! Don't dare to sneeze! Don't doze or daydream! Stay awake! Your health, your very life's at stake! "Ho ho," you say, "they can't mean me." "Ha ha," we answer, "wait and see." ~Roald Dahl

my Untitled Story, Part 2


Tessa woke up to a cloudy, gray Friday. She was twenty years old and halfway
through college. Majoring in criminal justice was not quite as exciting as
she had originally thought. Working on solving crimes was too easy for her.
All she wanted was to be able to get out into the force and to do some good.
She didn’t have to wait long. Although the mediocrity of the day had not
instilled much hope, this Friday would change her life. She walked into her
first class, early as usual, and found her professor talking with two men in
suits. Her professor looked up and pointed at her, with a very excited look
on his face. “That’s her,” he said. “That’s the girl you’re looking for.”
Tessa stood frozen in place. The first thing that entered her mind was Oh, no,
what did I do? Her professor walked towards her and said, “Tessa, I’d like
you to meet Agent Roderick and Agent Clives. They work with a branch of law
enforcement, and they would like you to show them your expertise. They were
very impressed with the school’s report of you.” Tessa felt a wave of relief
sweep over her. At least she wasn’t in trouble. Still, these men probably
had no real idea of what she did. The man introduced as Agent Roderick
said, “Miss, we’d like to get you involved in one of our most… uh, confusing
cases.”
