In the time it took him to take a shower and have lunch, he was greeted with at least a dozen congratulations and maybe twice as many confused stares from agents who couldn’t understand how this nobody who walked in off the streets just over four weeks ago had somehow completed the obstacle course in his first try. It was just too bad that Titan was away on a job. Daniel would have loved to have seen his reaction to the news. Then again, maybe not. Daniel hadn’t the slightest clue where Charlie, Shifty and Norma had disappeared to after the course, so he ate lunch by himself before having to meet with Doctor Horchoff for a “debriefing.” It was the first time in a long time Daniel remembered actually being anxious to meet with the good doctor, as he had a lot of questions and concerns about what had happened to him out on the obstacle course. Hopefully the doctor could give him some reassurance, through the use of medical terms that Daniel didn’t understand, that there was no reason for him to worry.
