Undercover

O-ver the Past

Jasmine laughs, agreeing.

2:30pm

Once everyone leaves I get up from the desk and grab a cold water bottle. April was being a little moist this year, emitting humidity from April showers.

I back up from the fridge and feel Lucas behind me. I immediately turn to be greeted by his gorgeous "bad boy" face.

His eyes look down to scan my face and he  lingers at my lips.

"I'm tired, Natalie."

My stomach lurches. "Me too."

He stays motionless looking at me, waiting for me to make a move. I slowly wrap my arms around his toned torso, resting my head on his chest.

I hear him sigh, playing with the loose curls that were not confined in my ponytail.

I close my eyes, listening to his heartbeat as my mind slowly eases.

"You want to get some food after our meetings today?", he asks, voice low and near my ear.

I nod and he kisses the top of my forehead.

"We can ge-"

Security alarms start blasting and heavy footsteps thump around the office.

Both of us look at the door, and then to each other.

We get our guns, cocking the ammo in place and heading out.

We see a few of our own agents, also confused and in front of us to protect us.

I see Laura, one of the agents in our class.

"Laura what's happening?", I ask her.

"Must be a break-in. There's agents in every section so they won't go anywhere. Come on, we need to keep you two safe."

Her raven hair whips around as we head into one of the abandoned stairways to go down.

The alarms were still going off.

2:40pm

We rush down to see more agents nearing the entryway of our agency.

Lucas and I push around until the agents make way for us, keeping an eye on us for safety.

When people clear I see a blonde short hair figure, arguing with another agent and once our eyes meet she smiles.

"Ms. Rodriguez."

I don't show any expression, inching towards her cautiously as all the agents surround me.

"Ms. Russo. What's the meaning of this? Quite an entrance you made."

She laughs, brushing nothing off her long silver overcoat. We faced each other while her agents where behind her, BlackLight's agents near her and me.

"My apologies, we meant no harm." She says that as her eyes move to  broken glass on the floor which was from a glass wall.

Well that wasn't expensive.

"Why are you here, Carina?"

"Well I hoped we would hear from you soon, apologizing maybe. But you didn't so I decided to come over and see what's holding you."

Apologize?

"And what do I need your forgiveness for?"

"You insulted H.E.X.A, broke into our safe houses and stole our-"
