THE COVENANT (Volume one) Cloaks & Daggers

Chapter four

Leia left the room and leaned gently against the door's window. Her session with Wyatt had just ended, "Why was he smiling at me like that?" Leia asked herself. "What is wrong with me? This man is a criminal, I'm a governmental agent, DON'T let him get to you Leia DON'T" Just then, Brianna and Bella came strolling towards her, they both had slight smirks on their faces. "Up for Starbucks tonight?" Asked Brianna. "All three of us?" asked Leia "Yep" Replied Bella, "I'm in!" said Leia. The three strolled down the hallway chatting, "Xavier assigned me to a duty tonight, and I'm like SUPER excited" exclaimed Bella. "Why?" asked Brianna, "Because the guy I have to play is SUPER CUTE" "OH!" Exclaimed Brianna, "Wait... but if you have a mission today, how you tryna stay out late at Starbucks?" asked Leia. "My mission is at like 3 AM, that's why I'm going out for Starbucks, a little boost, ya' know?" replied Bella, "OHH ok, I see," said Leia. The three strolled down the hallway and were suddenly stopped by Lindsey, she gave the three a warm smile and looked at Leia, "Leia, Xavier needs a quick word with you" Leia looked surprised, it was still early and Xavier didn't usually call on agents that early, "Ok," said Leia, "I'll be right back guys" she said as she strolled into Xavier's office. As usual, Xavier's office is dark, the only light it gets is the tens of computers before him. Leia's eyes adjusted to the dark before she said, "Sir?" Xavier turned around in his chair and said, "AHA, Leia, I'd like to address a matter with you, I talked with Lindsey about this too, but I need reports on your sessions with Wyatt" Leia was nervous, she didn't really know what to say about Wyatt, besides the fact that she found him cute and that he was messing with her head and being a complete distraction. "Did you not watch the tapes, sir?" Leia asked, Xavier smiled, "Of course I did, I just wanted your opinion," He said with a soft chuckle. Leia swallowed hard, "Well...he's been cooperative, he seems to talk down about his agency," Xavier smiled bigger, "I've heard and seen Leia, I want to know what you THINK about him," he said, sensing that Leia was avoiding telling her thoughts, Leia huffed, "WHY are you doing this to me, sir?" she said pouting. Xavier laughed, "Why are you avoiding telling me your thoughts?" He asked, trying to stop himself from laughing again. "I don't KNOW, I don't want to let you know what I think and change your view of him..." Xavier could sense something, he asked her, "Why do you care about how I view him?" Leia couldn't answer, "B-because...I don't...I don't know..." Xavier smiled, "Don't worry about what I think, tell me your thoughts" He said in a comforting tone, Leia took a deep breath, "Ok...he's fine, I think he'd make a great agent anywhere else but the R.O.I, I also think we have a lot in common, besides the fact that he's a criminal and I work for the government." Xavier looked into her eyes, "Hm.. is there anything else you'd want to share with me?" Leia's palms were sweaty, "N-no sir" she stammered.

There was A LOT more that she felt about him, but she didn't want her boss knowing.
"That brings me to what I wanted to discuss with you," Said Xavier, "I'm all ears sir" Said Leia, feeling relieved that she didn't have to talk about WYATT anymore,
"I've thought about it for a while, he has a backstory that can be easily erased and re-newed
 and with all the skill he has he'd be very useful for the Covenant, what do you think about offering him a job here?" Leia went pale, "WHAT!? HIM? WORK HERE?" she asked herself in disbelief, she couldn't believe her ears, was this some sort of dream? "He's already getting to me and now he wants him to work here?!"  Leia had to gather herself quickly, she tried to hide her shock by saying, "I mean, he is very skilled and he could be VERY useful so why not?" Xavier raised an eyebrow, Leia was never THIS easy about freshmen, she was quite the jealous-judgy type. "So you're ok with us taking Wyatt in as an agent?" Xavier asked, searching for the real Leia's answer, "Mhm" Nodded Leia. Xavier was surprised, "Alright! I'd like you to confront him with the proposal" He said, he wanted to test and see her reaction. Leia stared at him, "Me?" Xavier nodded his head yes, "Yes, you" Leia sighed, "Alright sir, I don't know why you're doing this to me because you know VERY well that I'm TERRIBLE at proposing ANYTHING to ANYONE, but ok as you wish" Xavier couldn't help but laugh at his agent's rants, "I'll give you time Leia, you can tell him during your session with him tomorrow" Leia nodded her head in acceptance, "You may go now" said Xavier with a smile.
Leia left the room and met up with her friends at her Bella's dorm, upon opening the door she was GRABBED by her arm and FLUNG onto Bella's bed by Brianna, "WOAH EASY BRI!" yelled Leia moving a strand of hair that was covering her face to the side, "O-M-G LEIA! LOOK AT THIS MAN!" Exclaimed Brianna hopping onto Bella's bed and grabbing Bella's phone from her, "HE'S A DEMI-GOD!" Exclaimed Bella, joining the two in staring at the picture. Leia screwed her face, tilting her head from one side to another, "He's..OK." Brianna and Bella got mad, Bella grabbed onto Leia's arms and shook her back and forth yelling, "WHAT-DO-YOU-MEAN HE'S-O-K!" Leia squealed, "OW! BELLA RELAX!", "No don't tell her to RELAX!" Added Brianna, "I'm ONLY saying he's not my type!" Defended Leia, "So you're saying you've seen BETTER?" Interrogated Bella, "Y...e...s.." Murmured Leia, drawing out the word slowly, "NO YOU HAVEN'T!" Roared Bella POUNCING on Leia and giving her multiple air-slaps. "OW! BELLA! CHILL!" Cried out Leia.

The girls finished fooling around and Leia went to her office, "Proposal..." Leia said to herself, ripping a page out of her notebook and staring at it. The light from her computer wasn't enough to see, so Leia stood up and turned on the big white light. "That's BETTER" Said Leia, as she sat back down at her desk. "NO I CAN'T think about a PROPOSAL right now! There is still SO much work to do!" Leia thought to herself, "I need to work on Miles's case" her thoughts added.
Miles was a Covenant agent that had been missing for three years, he was one of Xavier's BEST agents. He was also the R.O. I's archenemy. One day during a group mission, he was sent to take care of a bomb that was set to explode, and he never came back to his A.T (Agent Trainee) partners who were on the mission with him. The bomb never exploded which means he stopped it, but he never came back either. Years later, Covenant is STILL searching for him by the order of hopeful Xavier Smith Russo, his case is labeled 'THE MISSING AGENT'.
