Code name: Siren

Little secrets

I stared into his soul.
The others sensed my discomfort and tensed up.

„What?"

Price said low.

„Where did you get that info?"

I spat at him.

„Oh that?
Or that I know that Price practically raised you?
Or that our very unfriendly looking scull dude is your boyfriend?
Does he know that you were engaged once?"

My head was spinning.
Where did he get all this information?
No one knew this.
This couldn't be.

„Alex this is no time for games!
Where did you get these informations?"

I got up and leaned over the desk.
I was so close to just grab him and drag him over the table.

„Oh my partner had some very good informations."

he grinned.

„Your partner?"

I had a very bad feeling about this.
Who could possibly know all this?

This turned to a scene that was not good.

„Alex I swear to god if you don't tell me!"

„Relax Angel. It isn't my intention to hurt you.
I just needed some good ground to start negotiations on."

he laughed loud.

„sag mir wer es ist bevor ich dir dein dreckiges Lachen aus dem Gesicht schneide"

I blaffed at him.
He simply turned his laptop.
My heart sunk and seemed to stop.

„Hello my Pumpkin"

I clenched my fists around the table.

„Graves?"

Price groaned and shook his head.

„I'm suprised to see you so healthy.
Is your leg feeling better?
What about your stomach?"

The man grinned.
I hesitated at that sentence.
I simply stared at him.

„What don't wanna greet me pumpkin?
Awww that makes me sad"

„Watch your mouth Graves!"

Price snapped back.
I looked back at Wolf.

„I had expected a lot from you. But this?"

I huffed.

„What? He knows you so well.
He told me so much sweet sweet story's about you"

He grinned.

„And I really thought you would somehow respect me. Like me.
But working with him?
You lost all my respect Alex"

I spat out.
His face dropped a little.

„What are you talking about?
Just because your relationship with him didn't went well?
Come on it-„

„Didn't went well?
Oh of course I seeeeeeeee"

I let out a loud hysterical laugh.
Wolf looked at me deeply confused.
I straightened my posture and looked around.

„He didn't told you everything didn't you Philly baby?"

Graves face went stone cold.

„I see what you did Phillip.
Clever.
But you know you can't outsmart me!"

Graves wanted to interrupt me but I kept talking.

„Let me enlighten you all on this gentleman.
My friends this is Phillip Graves. I'm sure you heard of him."

„The leader of the shadow company?"

Soap asked.

„Exactly. That explains that I recognised the uniforms. These are your men aren't they Philly?
Ugly ass uniforms as always"

I added huffing.

„So what you probably don't know is that our dear Phillip was on our side once.
I started the military with him.
Oh and what a love story we had.
Such a perfect relationship wasn't it?
Yeah sure.
We were so in love.
He even proposed to me.
Everything was like a fairytale."

I gestured dramatically.

„Until our sweet sweet Phillip decided to invent the shadows.
To go behind of all our backs.
Just for the money.
He left.
Doing unspeakable things.
As I found out I left him.
But what did our gentleman do?
Accept that he is a terrible person?
Oh no. Yes I remember.
Let me get kidnapped and locked me up in his home for two months.
Beating me senseless to convince me to stay."

I leaned on the table with both hands.
Wolfs face shifted to disbelief.

„Oh I see he left out this part.
Did he at least mention the part where I escaped? Where he threatened me to get me back.
And if he couldn't he would make sure I would die?"

My eyes bored into the screen at Graves cocky face.

„Oh and Philly baby you almost won.
Don't you?
Selling my name to this bastard?
Leaving me in that mansion to bleed out?"

His face dropped.

„How do you-„

„Oh Phillip. You just told me yourself.
Because you're not as smart as you think.
This incident is in no file.
No one except my team knew about this.
And since everyone in that mansion was killed the only person who could know about this would be the snitch"

I grinned evil.
Wolf sat up straight.

„What incident?"

„Oh he didn't told you either?
Oh Phillip is the kind of guy that does everything for enough money.
If we would give him more money than you do he would turn his back on you.
And as he saw the opportunity to snitch on me he did. He sold the information about my code name and my undercover names to some Russians.
Wich almost lead to my death.
Was it your little idea that they should rape me?
Or just the stabbing and letting me bleed out?"

Wolfs face went white.

„Oh Alex. You thought you bought some pretty little details about me.
What you did was making deals with the devil himself."

I huffed.

„That was not what I wanted. Really Liz."

Wolf was pleading.
I knew he wasn't that kind of man.

„Where is he?"

„I don't-„

„You won't find me pumpkin. But sooner or later I will find you."

he smiled.
With that the video call ended.

I looked around panicking.
I didn't noticed how Simon was past me in seconds and had pinned Wolf to the ground.

„Please I didn't know.
I will cooperate really.
Liz! LIZ!
Hilf mir verdammt"

I turned towards them but Simon had already punched him in the face.

„Simon stop! We need him."

I said and pulled him back.
He was heavily breathing.
He made me look at him.

„Are you ok?"

„Yes I'm ok. I can't believe it was him."

I said broken.

„This little bastard"

Price growled and punched the desk.
It was no news to Simon.
I had told him the story.
But the rest just stared at me.

I walked over to Wolf.

„So you don't know where he is?"

„No really I swear."

„You should think twice next time. Really. Can I expect you to cooperate with us from now on?"

„Yes of course. I'm sorry really. You know I wouldn't-„

„I know Alex. I know."
