Chapter 1 Summary
Cassie Hobbes, a teenager recruited into the FBI’s “Naturals” program for her profiling abilities, has just solved a cold case involving a missing child and is waiting to hear how the rescue mission went. Her friend Michael banters with her in an attempt to distract her. Dean, another teen in the program, then barges into the room to announce that the young girl was found alive, and the three of them rejoice. The other two members of the Naturals program, Lia and Sloane, eventually join them, and Lia suggests that they have a party to celebrate.
Chapter 2 Summary
The five teenagers start playing music and dancing. They live together in a house in Quantico, Virginia. Lia urges Cassie and the others to join her on the dance floor. When Lia starts dancing with Michael, Cassie realizes that she is trying to get a rise out of Dean, who is very protective of Lia. Cassie is torn due to her conflicting feelings for both Michael and Dean, but she defuses the tension with playful banter.
