"How did you two meet?" It was a simple question. Calvin laughed a bit and looked over at his wife, who was trying to formulate her response to her niece, who just needed some answers for a school project. "Well...Cal was at work. He was just a cop then, working on a hostage case at a bank." Hannah explained, spinning her ever-present fidget ring. "And this crazy lady," Calvin continued, earning a glare from his wife, "walked in, /eating my lunch/, which she still refuses to tell me how she got, and sat down in front of the criminal." Their niece, Mabel, wasn't surprised. "She's a hostage negotiator, Uncle Calvin. What did you expect?" Hannah laughed a bit. "I wasn't then. I didn't have a job. I was just sick of the bank not being able to be used. So I just walked in there and talked to the guy. And this crazy man," she pointed to her husband, "tried to drag me away from the scene." "For good reason." Calvin scoffed. "One, he was armed and you weren't, two, you weren't trained and a stranger to me, and three, /you had stolen my lunch/." Mabel hurriedly scribbled all of this down. Hannah rolled her eyes and shortened the story. "Anyway, they let me stay after I made a bit of progress. An hour later, the hostages were released and I got to use the bank again." "And then you got arrested for stealing my lunch." Calvin frowned. "Hey, it all worked out in the end," Hannah said to her husband, shrugging. "They let me go when Calvin decided not to press charges, because his lunch wasn't all that good anyway, and I got an interview. Got trained later, helped out with a few more situations, and then he asked me out." Mabel wrote all of this down and put it into her project. She ended up getting an F because the project "wasn't a creative writing assignment." And that's the story of how the FBI's head of security, Agent Calvin Wayne, and the hostage negotiator who had been on tv that past week for managing to save several important hostages, Officer Hannah Wayne, came to Mabel's school to tell their story to her entire class and teacher. Mabel's grade was changed to an A.
