Chapter Text
..."You don't think I am a bad person?"
"No, actually I kind of thought you were perfect but it's really nice to see that you have problems too"
"Thank you"
She was hugging me but my mind was elsewhere
That was the second time Alex caught me lying to her but thanks to my experience I covered it up again
Emily should have kept her mouth shut, yes we broke up because I "cheated" but she had no right to do that, to tell Alex about it, she could have destroyed everything, everything I have worked for all those months ago
I had to up my game I couldn't afford her to find out anything about me
I had a job to do and I would complete it no matter what or who I have to hurt to get it done
Perks of the job I guess
Alex was talking on the phone while I was lost in my thoughts, apparently Kara needed her yet again or she was hurt I didn't understand what happened because in a moment she was gone, leaving me at her apartment with free access to everything
I already had keys toner apartment which was of utmost priority to my plans but I had to play it safe and not been seen sneaking around so the fact that she had told me to stay gave me the chance to look for the thing I had been assigned to find
I took out my my phone activating the machinery disruptor, it's like an EMP but in a less wide range of area to disrupt, to take out any kind of surveillance, camera or microphones, inside the apartment
Alex and I had done things inside that apartment, if you know what I mean , and I had no prohibitions in voyeurism (it was kind of hot) but to do this job I couldn't afford for anyone to see what I was doing
I had found in previous visit the location of what I was searching so it wouldn't take more than a few minutes to have it in my hands
And so it happened
I disconnected the MD(not the best name I know) and left the building to deliver the thing
But not yet
I had to appear innocent and actually have an alibi if things turn on me, so I had to plan a possible robbery or to just plant false evidence that don't have any kind of connection with me
My phone beeped while I was finishing that with a message from an unknown number which was known to me of course
"Bring the thing in the docks after midnight, try not to get followed"
Like I ever get followed, they think me for an amateur
I am the only one not to get caught among them still
I had a few hours before I had to go there so I thought about relaxing for a bit
But Alex texted to tell me to hang out and to inform me that her bulletproof sister was okay
I told her okay because we had to "talk", lie in my case, so I got up and got ready
In 15 minutes I was in front of her apartment waiting for her and she showed up looking so amazingly beautiful but I couldn't afford to get attached, probably more attached than I am already, I had to do my job
She kissed me on the lips briefly and I tried not to feel anything in it
She told me to drive and she would give me directions to the restaurant where she had called to reserve us a table but she had other plans first
She took me to clear things with Emily
We didn't actually had to clear anything it was a cover story both of us had agree to, to cover for us knowing one another
The truth is that yes we did date but we were really not compatible so we broke it off and we were kind of friendly with one another and it really did bug me that she told that I cheated on her to Alex like that
She made my cover a little quaky but ever the amazing Alex didn't think of anything by it, didn't break up with me, didn't even have doubts about me cheating on her now or anything
She was a saint so pure and gentle nevermind her job she was a little white sheep
I stepped outside the car and saw that Emily was already outside waiting for me
I reached her trying to look uncomfortable and insecure and hoped i succeeded
"Wow you are a much better imposer than I remembered, you deserve a Oscar"
"Ha ha yeah nice to see you too, and to get to the point why did you say that to Alex my cover could be compromised and you know what that would mean right?"
"Well it worked out didn't it? I mean she came all the way over here to talk to me about why I didn't show up at dinner and about how I hurt your feelings..."
"Yes Emily but nevertheless you understand what it's at stake here, you are a part of it and you know, you didn't have to make things all the more difficult for me"
"Well I had to see for myself the attachment you have with this one and I guess you didn't disappoint once again and neither did she"
"What do you mean?what attachment?this is just a job that I have to pull through you know me work always comes first"
"Yeah I know firsthand but not this time, there are more things at stake now and you know it"
I turned to look at Alex direction and smiled towards her while she waved
"Yeah this time there are more things that are at stake"
"She's good you know it right?"
"Yeah too good for me"
"It will all pass Maggie you just have to have faith"
"Yeah I saw where faith got me, anyways I have to go because I have a reservation and then I have a meeting, it was nice to meet you we will see each other soon"
"Yeah don't be a stranger, besides aren't we co-workers?"
We hugged each other and then I went towards Alex's direction
"So how did it go?"
"Good, thank you for making me do that"
"You guys were talking about me there in the end?"
"Yeah she said how lucky I am to have you"
"She's right"
She grabbed me by my jacket and kissed me chastely and because I couldn't prolong this I told her to go
We ate dinner at the restaurant we had gone last night since it was both of our favorite and had a good time, really good time, me trying not to act as much as I did in the past and just have fun because in the next few days shut was going to hit the fan after my meeting and this could be lost
But I had to
At the end of the night I lied yet again when she asked me to go upstairs with her and told her that I had an early shift at the police station so I didn't want to wake her up as an excuse and she believed it
After a kiss i left towards my apartment to get ready for my meeting, it was 10:45 so I had to go in half an hour if I wanted to be there on time
At 11:50 I reached the docks and they were already there waiting for me
"You got me what I instructed you to?"
"Yes everything is right there"
"And is everything ready for the final phase?"
"Yes, everything is set to place and the DEO has no clue about it or any other plans that CADMUS has initiated"
Lillian turned to face me with a smug smile on her face
"And that's all thanks to you, isn't it Detective Sawyer?"
Yes all thanks to me...
