I like your premise and the writing is not bad, but the first chapter is a bit jarring. Not sure how to say it. There's no real description of the scene so one has to care enough to keep reading and piece things together, maybe? Also, the spacing on the sentences is a bit hard. I'd move them together into paragraphs where appropriate. But that's just me. Take it with a grain of salt.

Ah. There she is. Look busy."
