NATALIE POV
We head into the training room at headquarters and tiredly put our gear back.
"I swear I thought it was her", I say putting my duffel bag back.
"Yeah, but you can't just attack someone without knowing for sure. You're lucky you had the retina contact to zap them. How do you do missions alone?"
What'd he say?
"What?"
"How do you achieve missions if you be this reckless?"
"I wasn't- reckless, I was doing my job Lucas."
"Wasn't the smartest way to do it" he
murmurs.
I stop what I'm doing and look at him.
Who does he think he is?
I may have not been successful but I'm not reckless.
He doesn't look up at me until a few good seconds goes by. He looks down then up at me again and sighs.
"Don't get offended I'm just being honest. It would have been better to go a different route."
"What route is that?"
"To catch enough data to make sure she was the one, or just listen in and see what she was really giving out."
"We still completed it didn't we? What's done is done", I said softly grabbing my things and leaving. He shouldn't have said that.
"Natalie don't-"
I don't acknowledge his words and brush past him to the door.

10:50pm
I angrily push the pillows out of my bed to head to sleep. What Lucas said bothered me for the rest of the day.
I know what I'm doing.
Im not good working with partners and this was why.
I don't need other people's input in my life.
He's called me 3 times and I've ignored. But he called me again.
"What do you want Lucas?", I sigh in annoyance.
"You could be a little nicer than that."
"Lucas I sw-"
"I'm sorry."
I pause for a second.
"What?"
"I'm sorry I insulted your way of working. I was just annoyed that we spent so much time on something that didn't plan out. It wasn't nice and I'm sorry."
I take a few seconds.
"It's fine, just don't insult me again."
"Never", he says assuringly.
There was a period of silence between us.
"Okay, bye."
"Goodnight Natalie."
I put my phone on my bed and let his words sink in.

3:00 am
I shift in my head restlessly.
"Natalie"
......
"Natalie"
