Promises Never Die (Book One) {RvB FanFic}

Chapter 9

(North's POV)
"Would Agents North Dakota, Washington, and New York come to the director's office."

'Probably about Sota.' I thought. Walking, I saw Wash enter the room. I quickened my pace, not wanting to be the last one to enter. Well, I was last regardless.

The Director narrowed his eyes at me. "You're late."

"You never told us wh-" I started.

"If I say you're late, then you are late."

"Yessir. Sorry sir." I mumbled.

"I have noticed that Agent Minnesota has been gone for a few days and that you were the last three to see her. Where did she go?"

Wash looked down. "She... she died because of her last training session." The words caught in his throat. I don't know if he was faking it or if he truly was on the verge of tears. "Sota was off that morning. S-something didn't seem right. When we took her away from the training area, she said that she wanted to be left in sp-space. So we left her."

He sniffled and York put his hand on his shoulder. I joined in the lie and sniffled.

The Director was quiet for a while. Then he spoke up. "I'm sorry that she passed. You are dismissed."

We exited silently. Wash immediately walked away.

York turned to me. "Was he actually crying?"

I shrugged. "Sounded like it. I'd ask him, but he might not want to open up."

"Ah. Any ne-" York got cut off by Delta. "York, Agent North Dakota, I have gotten a message from Omicron."

"... more updates to come. Send it, Omicron."

York and I were silent. After a while, I said "She's alive."

York nodded. "Should we tell Wash?"

"Tomorrow we can."

"Alright. Nigh North." York said as he walked away.

"Night." I turned and walked to my own room.
