The Assassins Touch

Chapter Eight.

The two got back rather late, so they both collapsed into bed the moment they entered the room. So the next day came around rather quickly. Beca woke up before Emily, who was hugging her pillow like a Teddy. Beca chuckled as she took out her phone and took a photo before progressing to get ready quietly. After getting ready, her phone buzzed in her pocket. It was Chloe.

Chloe: You up? Can't get back to sleep, could get coffee?

Beca looked up at the clock, Reading six am. She smiled to herself as she gave her reply and started writing down a note for Emily when she finally got up.

As Beca left her dorm building, she hears footsteps to her side, and she turns to see the redhead walking towards her. But something about her was off. She wasn't smiling.

"Hey Chlo" Beca said, Chloe smiled slightly at her and nodded.

"Hey Becs. Sorry if I woke you, just alot on my mind." Chloe tells Beca who nods in understanding. Could it be their attack on the science division?

"You wanna talk about it?" Beca asked, Chloe sends a kind smile and shakes her head.

"It's not something I can tell you about. Not yet anyway. Maybe I'll get to tell you someday." Chloe tells her. That sounded very close to her admitting she was a Light Member. But it was no solid proof.

"Well I can keep a secret if you decide to tell me" Beca let's Chloe know, who shakes her head and regains her usual large smile.

"it doesn't matter. What does matter is what you are wearing tonight to the bar." Chloe asks as she wraps her arm around Beca's as the two finally started walking towards the Coffee shop.

"you're looking at it" Beca was met with a laugh from Chloe when she said that paired with a shake of her head.

"Oh no. Hate to tell you, but it's pretty high end. Meaning you actually gotta try. Not just a simple shirt and jeans" Chloe told Beca who rolled her eyes.

"Well it's gonna have to do. I don't have a dress" Beca tries but Chloe shakes her head again.

"I'm lending you one and that is final. I have one that will show off your body" Chloe says with a wink, causing Beca to blush.

"Oh... Um, Thanks" she stumbles ever so slightly. Something Chloe found funny as she let out a small giggle.

"You are adorable Mitchell" She says before the two enter the coffee shop. She expected Chloe to pull her arm away, but she kept hers interlocked with Beca's. Beca didn't mind though. The closeness was nice.

And was for the mission. Of course.

"Well I dragged you out so this is on me." Chloe says as she walks over to the counter and orders some sort of fancy drink. Beca barely had drunk any type of coffee so she just hoped that Chloe knew what she was getting. After ordering their coffee Chloe went over to Beca and dragged her to a nearby table.

"You could of just told me to come to you" Beca pointed out and Chloe just shrugged.

"Yeah but dragging you around is fun" Chloe says as she smirks at the Brunette who just rolled her eyes as they take their seat in a booth in the bottom corner of the coffee shop.

"Bec... Bechloe?" the Barista shouts, slightly confused about the name. Chloe laughed but Beca just rolled her eyes as she got up for them, taking them from them Barista flashing a quick smile and a thankful nod before returning. As Beca took a small sip of her drink, she was surprised on how good it tasted. But she set it down, best not to overload on coffee. 

"so what were you doing up at this time?" Chloe asked.

"Just had alot on my mind" Beca said. It was true. Something bugged her about what they were told about the Tectonic device. She hated the Light, but this was extremely out of left field.
