/ Third Person Protagonist POV / 

( Armitage Hux's POV ) ( Private General Living Quarters )

The ginger haired general paced around his private room nervously and impatiently, with his hands trembling behind his back. His footsteps were the only thing being heard in his deserted room as he walked around in circles, thinking and mumbling illegibly to himself.

 He had recently returned from a last minute called meeting with the other high ranking generals and captains of the Final Order, as well as the Head Commander and Supreme Leader Kylo Ren. A mole, and inside voice in the Order was the emergency subject of the meeting.

Hux couldn't have been more suspicious during the conference, sweating and nervously shaking a little bit. He recalled how Kylo Ren had sensed his unease, and as always, his hatred passed before his senses, as he had force choked the ginger general. Hux placed his hand and slightly rubbed his neck with his delicate fingers, his throat was still aching from the choke. 

Damn him! He mentally yelled as he took a jar that stood on a little side table and threw it across the room out of anger, letting out a yell of fury as he did so. Head Commander Kylo Ren had arrived into the room and slammed the beheaded head of an alien on the meeting table, causing many of the generals including Hux to grimace in disgust. 

" A mole in the Final Order, a traitor!" Hux mumbled to himself, as if it was in disbelief, but he knew those rumors were true. Hell, Hux was the cause of those rumors. I've got to be more careful now. Kylo Ren already suspects and despises me greatly, and I hold onto dear life, I ain't no fool. He told himself as he sat down on his neatly covered bed and unbuttoned his general uniform, remaining only with the black tank top underneath. 

He felt as if he couldn't breath even though he had no difficulty doing so, his throat didn't hurt as much as it did when Kylo Ren had choked him across the meeting room. I'm done with that nitwit embarrassing me like that! He mumbled to himself angrily.

 When Snoke was still alive, we had the same power over the First Order! And now I'm treated like a mop! Hux was infuriated with his recently declared superior, but he had to comply to his orders, so he wouldn't cause more suspicion than he already had with his superior. 

Stupid leak of information. Everything was going perfect according to plan until that idiot of Boolio just couldn't keep his mouth shut and gave data to the Resistance. Hux rolled his eyes annoyed. Even if Hux was angry and nervous that his plan had taken a downfall, a recently happened event might be the salvation of him and his intentions to take down the new Supreme Leader.

  " At least y/n is here." He said, smiling wickedly at his plan. Every high ranking generals and decision makers in the Final Order will make her a first suspect. They're all so foolish and blinded they won't even think she wasn't present on The Finalizer for some of the information that was leaked by me. Hux told himself as he poured some water on his face, his victory grin still very present in his face. 

The only fault in Hux's plan was Kylo, who was also the reason Hux had turned his back on the First Order without them knowing. " Damn him and his status! That foolish boy doesn't deserve the position he's in. He's too emotionally uncontrollable and weak." Hux muttered to himself in jealousy as he stood up and took off his general uniform completely and headed towards a large wardrobe, where the general picked out some casual attire while still remaining quite militar like in his look, dressed in the black camisole and same colored military First Order pants. 

That boy isn't as gullible as the rest. He would never believe his ex apprentice is the traitor, he trusts her... too much. Hux lamented to himself as he walked carelessly around his living quarters. I have to find a way to deflect his attention towards someone else, Hux added mentally as a little alarm rang at his door, making Hux aware he had visitors. 

He signaled for the door to open automatically, and when it did, a short figure paced in nervously. Hux looked a little bit surprised of who was at his door, but at the same time, an evil smirk curled on his lips. " G- general Hux." Came the voice of the young woman that had ventured a couple feet inside his living quarters, standing awkwardly near the door with her head held low and her eyes fixated on her feet.

" What a... pleasant surprise to have you here." Hux said in a serious tone, but he meant nothing more than irony. " I have hope you brought what I asked for. Or else you wouldn't be here, am I right?" He asked, but it seemed more as if he was talking to himself. Before the young woman could answer anything, Hux placed his index finger towards her, silently ordering her not to reply as he walked towards the wardrobe and picked a formal black uniform shirt, finding it was inappropriate to remain in a simple camisole in front of a low ranker in the Final Order, it made him look less important in the Hierarchy. 

" Sir. I did what you told me to. It was risky, general. Not even the Head Commander ordered anything like this. If he finds out..." The frightened young lady nervously spat as she rubbed her palms together. " I'm afraid sir. Can I at the very least know why I risked my life for what you asked me?" She boldly questioned.

General Hux looked at her with disapproval, " you did it because I ordered you to. Remember what happens when you fail to comply to an order I give you. Think about your father, him who is sick." He taunted the young lady as he circled her. " If I order you to do something, you do not question me. Do I make myself clear?" Hux spoke loudly in a threatening tone. The young lady winced in fright and nodded her head fast, " y- yes my general." She muttered, very scared. 

" Do not worry." Hux added, as if he had changed persona and was suddenly empathetic. " You have a cause you stand up for? Don't you? Going to check on y/n is another task to be one step closer to accomplishing what you most desire." He manipulated. 

" Yes sir." The young lady stated firmly this time.

" Good. Then you must know your role is very important." Hux said as he approached the woman. "You are the spy for my inside voice, Leone Odan."
