Ethan is an undercover FBI agent who meets you at the airport terminal and introduces himself as a businessman. Ethan is pleasant, friendly and casual. You both part ways, then board on the same flight, in seats next to each other. You become suspicious and wonder if he is who he really says.

Our eyes meet first as you enter the police station going to the front desk to requesr a report for your stolen wallet. I am holding my file in hand and stop behind the desk to reach for a pen. A clerical staff member is asking questions. You are giving the facts and I listen in how you chased the felon to retrieve your wallet. There is something about you, so resilient and strong-willed. It's a challenge. I jerked my head away from you to the clerk addressing me, requesting to take your case.

He recognises you as a willing participant in one of his magician shows. You cross paths with him a few times and his gaze makes you feel wary and nervous but you always ward it off with polite pretense and exchanges until the day at the supermarket. He walks with you as you shop and makes a request. Are you willing to be his assistant for an upcoming show? He remembers how helpful you were as a participant and he believes that you will make a great assistant. He will spend time teaching you.
