Are you a liar too?

Confession

There was some sort of weight on my uninjured leg. I opened my eyes but squinted due to the sunlight. Looking at my leg I didn't expect to see Yakov sleeping peacefully. I sat up which must've woken him up since he moved around. He opened his eyes and quickly stood up from the chair he was in.

"You should try to be careful." He pushed my shoulders and made me lay down

"How long was I out for?" I asked

"A few days." He scratched the back of his head looking away from me

"Is Ruf dead?" The scene of seeing her being shot replayed through my mind

"Yeah? Why do you ask that?"

"Because she was shot in the back, her blood even looked black."

"Ruf was never shot. Must've been you imagining due to shock." Yakov looked at me but didn't make eye contact

"No, I know she was shot!"

"If you're so concerned go see her yourself. But before you do Wagner wants to speak to you." Yakov shrugged

I got out of bed and felt a surge of pain go through my leg. But I had to deal with it. Limping towards the door Yakov made me stop and put one of my arms on his shoulder to keep balance.

"If you need help later today come find me, I'll probably be doing alchemy somewhere."

"You act like I need your help often." I laughed

"You try to act like you don't but you aren't good at anything so I have to help or save you." He rolled his eyes

"Nobody ever said you had to."

"You're my responsibility."

"Oh so now you're claiming me?" I asked

"I would never claim a spy."

"You said you would help me with the case so you're also a spy."

"Because you got caught red handed. Plus do you want to talk about what I found in your pocket?"

"What did you find in my pocket?"

"This seems very suspicious
Mr. Nemo." He pulled out the wanted paper of me

"I found that in the truck."

"Why are you wanted though?" He looked at me suspiciously

"I don't remember."

"That's your excuse for everything."

"It's true though." I sighed

Taking my arm off of his shoulder I left the room. I decided to go to Wagner's office, he'll probably talk about how the mission was ruined. Knocking on the door I waited a bit then walked inside. He stared at the door and when he realized it was me that look turned to disappointment.

"You all failed the mission."

"I'm sorry sir." I gulped nervously

"Oliver gave me the report about the mission. He said that you were the main reason of it failing."

"I got the information!"

"Yet you risked everything else! Everyone could've died, you got lucky." He started walking towards me

"We got lucky? We did what you wanted us to do!"

"I didn't tell you to put yourselves in that type of danger. If only you followed the plan we would've succeeded!" He stood right in front of me and slapped me

I tried not to move an inch when truly I was shaking, petrified of what could happen. The stinging in my cheek almost made my eyes tear up but I wouldn't show weakness.
