Burn Notice

The alarm clock rings and Michael Weston jolts from his sleep.  He took a look at the time. 5:30a.m.  Cursing under his breath, he crawls out of bed and proceeds to get ready for work.  Being a CIA agent wasn’t easy.  He checks his phone for messages (normally there will be at least a dozen) but strangely enough today there were none.  He suddenly remembered that he was to meet with his boss that morning.  When he walked out of his apartment, he was greeted with a breeze of air that was hauntingly cold.  Colder than normal, he thought.  And as he walked into his office building he sensed a forbidding presence, an unfriendly feeling that told him he was not welcomed.  He greeted the receptionist as he usually did, but when previously he was met with a cheerful smile, today she did not even bother to look up.  His pace quickened and he walked straight towards the boardroom, where his meeting with his boss was to be held. 

“What are you doing here still?” his boss snarled angrily at him.

“We have a meeting now, don’t we?” Michael responded.

His boss gave him a menacing look, almost in contempt.  “I told you to get out yesterday.  Or wasn’t I clear enough?”  His boss paged security.

Michael’s head was spinning out of control.  What was going on?  What was his boss talking about?  Was his shot of whiskey the night before the cause of this dismissal?  Could it be that conversation he had with that mysterious lady at the bar last night?  He suddenly remembered that he scribbled something on a piece of paper.  Where was it?  Michael rushed to his desk but it was gone.  What was happening?  His co-workers stared at him coldly, in a accusatory manner.  This was happening too fast.  And he needed to know why and what happened.
