A few hours later Ciekawski Kot watched as Złośliwy Lis began to stir, and he felt his heart speed up. He got up and crawled closer, purring softly. Złośliwy Lis's eyes slowly opened, and he grimaced slightly before glancing at Ciekawski Kot. "You're still here?"

Ciekawski Kot nodded and moved to nuzzle his head against Złośliwy Lis's cheek.

Złośliwy Lis couldn't help a smile forming, and he gently scratched behind his ears. "Well, I'm glad. There's much to do." He slowly sat up and rolled his neck before rolling his shoulders. He took a deep breath and stood before looking back at the bed. "Coming?" He left the bedroom and headed to the study.

Ciekawski Kot jumped down and scurried after him. When they reached the office, Ciekawski Kot shifted. "What can I do to help?"

Złośliwy Lis shut the door and moved a picture aside, entering a code and watched as the whole office sealed. "Now you can take a seat and listen carefully. I want you to let me get everything out. Then and only then can you ask questions. Otherwise, it'll take forever to tell you everything. Agreed?" Złośliwy Lis headed towards his desk.

Ciekawski Kot spoke up quickly. "Yes, but only if we can sit on the couch," he firmly stated, trying and failing to keep the hope out of his voice.

Złośliwy Lis paused and glanced at him. "Why?" he inquired.

Ciekawski Kot managed to keep himself from blushing, which was a stupid reaction he supposed. "I want to be close to you. You did say 24/7 and I'd like to think maybe you need me close."

Złośliwy Lis quirked an eyebrow but changed directions and went over to the couch, taking a seat on the left side facing in. Ciekawski Kot smiled before clearing his throat and taking a seat on the right side facing in.

"All right. Let's get started."

"I'm all ears."

Złośliwy Lis couldn't help snorting at that, and Ciekawski Kot cracked another smile.

"All right. Roughly five months ago the Deputy Director pulled me from my desk into a meeting room with the Director. He tasked me with infiltrating and taking over this mafia. Someone in the FBI is a rat that has been giving government secrets to this group among others, but this group was the easiest and most beneficial to infiltrate. No one was supposed to know of my involvement. I had to change my identity and had to alter my voice. We couldn't take any chances.

"My guess is that someone, most likely the rat, sent you in because they learned an agent had been put in. I mean what better way to dispose of an agent than to send in another one with the goal of blowing both of their covers." Złośliwy Lis paused for a moment to let Ciekawski Kot take that all in.

Ciekawski Kot noticed the wording Złośliwy Lis kept using like saying rat instead of mole and wondered how deep the cover went.

After Ciekawski Kot nodded, Złośliwy Lis continued. "When I came into this op, there were only two people that know who I am both here and out there in the world."

"Allison and Jackson?" Ciekawski Kot tensed and started to apologize for asking, but Złośliwy Lis quickly answered.

"Yes. Allison is Allison Argent. Jackson is Jackson Whittemore. Allison was already in and helped bump me up to head. Jackson wouldn't let me go without being by my side. He's protective like that." Ciekawski Kot frowned at the blush that formed on Złośliwy Lis's face but said nothing. "Anyways, I had suspected something was off with Malia. I knew from the moment I met her that she couldn't be trusted. I suspect she was tasked with getting close to the leader."
