Conjuring Quantico (The Federal Witch Book 1)
you subjected her to without her knowledge. Your file will reflect that.”
     
    She looked at one of the ladies at the table.
     
    “Lisa, how is Human Resources doing? Are you prepared to run the whole staff through race relation training?”
     
    The short blond woman looked up from her notes and responded. “We have classes running this week for the security department. It is going to take the better part of a month to have the entire staff take them.”
     
    “Good. Thank you Lisa. Listen all of you! This whole Cluster-frak happened because I wanted to see what a student was talking about. She wondered why she was followed everywhere in the building and everyone she met either drew down on her or reached for their weapons...”
     
    “Ma’am, that witch just about destroyed the school last year! She can’t be trusted to roam free!”
     
    “Sub-Director Jonson please turn in your credentials and go home. You’re done. Agent Thomlinson?” The large man by the door looked up.
     
    “Take Dick here and escort him back to his office. He is to pack up his personal effects and leave the building. Make sure you collect his badge and creds so he cannot return to the base.” She turned back to the former Sub-director. “Pending review of course, you are out of here.”
     
    She ignored his protests as he was dragged out the back door. No need for the students to see that. “Now, let’s get something straight here about Agatha Blackmore, shall we? The FBI has never had its own Witch before! We use hired hands for our magical needs. I witnessed first-hand the difference between the two. We need her. We need her desperately! The Witches’ Council has been trying for years to get a volunteer who would work with us. It was sheer luck that we got her. We need to keep her.”
     
    “Director Mills, I don’t understand why she’s so special. I’ve worked with the Russians for years and had no problems. They can be very helpful with an investigation. We used the three brothers just last year to take down that wizard in Miami.”
     
    “Did they capture him directly or use magic to do it?”
     
    “Well no. They scried him out and put some protection spells on our men. The assault team took him out with special weapons. We only lost two of them in the process.”
     
    “Yesterday morning I watched Miss Blackmore take down all three of those same Russian brothers at one time when they attacked her. In addition, she protected the entire field and all the innocents at the same time. According to related information that I have received, the Russians are the minor leagues compared to her and her family. I watched the video from last year. She was the victim. All she did was give her name and over a dozen agents drew on her. When she tried to leave, you opened fire on her. She only attacked when the Marines became involved. Watch it, yourselves if you don’t believe me. She told me that if it had been her grandmother instead of her that building and part of the school would not exist anymore. We need her. Get that through your damn thick heads!”
     
    There was a bright flash suddenly that left all those at the table blinking. In front of the Director was a folded note.
     
    “Director, what?!” Director Mills held up her hand to stop any more questions. She carefully picked up the folded sheet of paper and opened it. Smiling, she laid it back down.
     
    “Let’s wrap this up, people. We have an investigation to prepare for and classes to start. Any more questions?”
     
     
    ~~~~~
     
     
    Cat was watching me as I made the note disappear. “What are you doing?”
     
    I pointed to the meeting room and the Director. “She looks too tired. I just told her that.”
     
    She shook her head. “Only you, Agatha. Come on, let's go back to the dorm. I have a hard choice to make and I want your help. You were right: I do have to choose.”
     
    I smiled at her and picked up my tray. Stepping over to the trash and dish
