Rating: PG
Another day, another lunch break. As much as Malcolm enjoyed his job, there were days when he wished that he could just hand things off to someone else. Things were going well both in New York and in Star City. But he felt restless and distracted lately. Maybe it was because Cissie was busy with school and living in the apartment with her friends. Malcolm had never really been the sentimental type, but he had to admit that the young girl had gotten under his skin... and fast. Maybe he needed a vacation? And by vacation, he meant one not involving a contract or special request.
Rather than go to the usual places, today he'd slipped out of the office on his own. Malcolm ended up at a nearby coffee shop where they supposedly made decent sandwiches. As he waited in line to place his order, he glanced over to his right where a young woman was sitting at her table. She seemed pretty engrossed in her tablet and whatever it was she was working on. Her look of concentration and focus was what really caught his attention though. It reminded him of the look Cissie had during their training lessons.
Malcolm turned his attention back to the menu boards and shoved his hands into the pockets of his trousers.
