Undercover Love

Chapter 18

It was past 10 o'clock when I finally turned the knob on my bedroom door. I stepped inside and closed it softly, not wanting to deal with anyone until morning. 

Switching on the light, I turned and stifled a scream as I saw Agent White sitting in a corner of the room, a concerned look on his face. When he saw me he jumped up and rushed over "Where have been Agent Black? I was worried sick, you didn't call me. And why is there blood on your lip?"

I quickly reached up and touched my lip, realizing it must have started bleeding again. "Agent White please, I'm really tired and..."

"What's going on Agent Black!? You ran into some trouble out there, you need to tell me so I can report this to Agent Fang"

"No!! You can't!!"

"What, why not?"

I was overcome with fear and exhaustion, causing me to shake uncontrollably. I leaned against the wall for support as the world began to spin around me. A tear escaped my eye, but Agent White quickly came to my aid. He placed his arm around my waist and led me to the bed where he tenderly sat me down and offered me a tissue.

I blew my nose before laying my head on his shoulder "I'm sorry Agent White, I'm so sorry!"

"For what? Agent Black, you've done nothing but..."

"Lye to you?"

"What?"

"I'm not who I seem to be Agent White, and now I've gotten myself and you into a mess you don't deserve to be in"

"Agent Black...what are you talking about?"

"I'm, I'm an agent for the CIA, I was sent here by my cousin to collect information about where the Mafia had its base and to kill the boss. But as it turns out, my cousin is actually the head of the cobra and is trying to kill me"

"Wow...ok, that's a lot to take in at the moment"

"That's all you have to say?"

"Well, no, its just, I may or may not have known this entire time"

"About what!? My cousin trying to kill me!?"

"About you being a double agent?"

"What!? You, you knew?"

"You forget that my mom was a part of the CIA, still is"

"Right...how did you figure it out though?"

"In training in those first few days, one of the moves you did to take me down was a special move normally only those who were trained in the CIA, or by someone who was in the CIA, know"

"Really? I sold myself out on the first day?"

"Don't sweat about it, Agent Fang knows nothing"

"If you knew, why didn't you turn me in?"

"I was going to at first, but when we were made partners and I saw how amazing you were, I kinda just forgot all about it, besides, one part of me still is loyal to my mother's legacy"

Both of us were silent for a moment before Agent White took my hand "So, your cousin is trying to kill you?"

"Yep"

"And no one will believe you because he's the head of a part of the CIA?"

"Nope"

"Have you eaten?"

"No...wait what?"

"Come on, I saved some leftovers for you"

Over dinner we talked a bit more, trying to decide what to do, or at least I was.

"So now that you have come clean, are you going to tell me your name?"

"Nope, I'm enjoying this guessing game"

"Hmm, Mira?"

"What!? No!"

"Dang it! Well, enough of that, we have bigger problems"

"You don't say!"

"Ok, do you have any one else who you can trust, that can maybe help us turn your cousin in? Anyone at all?"

"Not that I can think of"

"No one!? Black, you need to get out more!"

"I know! Wait! I do know someone! He was a friend of my fathers, and he used to be in the CIA, I don't know if he'll accept, but he's very efficient in technology and could look at the thumb drive and maybe disable it, or tell us how to make the virus visible so if I do download it, they will be able to block it"

"Great! Call him!"

"Not tonight Agent White, I'm exhausted!"

"Oh...right, sorry, well goodnight"
