Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Josefina paced around the room, her voice laced with urgency, "Who did you go with?"

"Just me, boss. Solo mission," came the confident reply.

Josefina shot up from her chair, heart racing, "How could you go alone? Find someone to back you up, pronto. What if you run into trouble? Listen to me, I'm sending Tori to join you right away." "Boss, you doubting my skills? I may not be your top apprentice, but I can hold my own. Trust me, ten-to-one odds, I've got this."

Her thoughts briefly flitted to her missing apprentice, still unaccounted for despite a widespread search.

"Luke, text me the address. I'll have Tori come to assist you. And make it snappy, or you can forget about running errands for me in the future."

Already en route, Luke sent the coordinates to Josefina, who quickly forwarded them to Tori, instructing him to assist Luke.

"Stay safe. Don't you dare make a move till Tori gets there. You hear me, Luke?"

"Gotcha, boss. And hey, it's late. Go catch some Z's. I'll wait for Tori."

With that reassurance, Josefina could finally breathe easy, emphasizing safety above all else. After repeating her warnings more times than she could count, she eventually hung up.
