Pretty Lies

chapter three

"Hey, Elisa, how've you been?" Jason stated with a flirty tone as Mike brought his hand to his face to hide his embarrassed expression.
Elizabeth brought the cigar between her red lips, then pulled it away, letting the thick smoke leave her lips.

"Boss." She corrected him quietly as her expression remained icy cold.
Her blue eyes traveled to Mike who was standing right next to Jason.

"Mr Wyatt, will you leave us alone." She asked as if he had much of a choice.
"Yes boss." He obeyed simply and turned on his heels, giving Jason a fight_for_your_life look.

Jason watched as his partner left the office and shut the door behind him.
The sound of his boss's heels being clicked on the hard floor brought his attention back to her, she stopped inches before him, she pulled the cigar away once more from her flawless lips, letting the smoke slap his face.
He held back the cough that took an uncomfortable place down his throat, he never liked smoking.

"Where were you?" She asked although she's the first person who knew the answer.

"In a mission, boss." He answered very simply, if she's trying to play a game he'll play along.

"Does this mission, include taking the back up with you?" She kept asking.

"I thought we could use some help." He sighed, he is so not in mood to talk about wrong decisions.

"You thought?" She pressed more, "you made unnecessary attention back there in the casino, you're a secret agent Jason, you're supposed to be working in the shadows, how many times do I have to repeat the same shit?" Her voice is raised slightly.

So she doesn't know about Bonanno? He questioned himself.

"Besides, even if you found Sebastian there, you can't arrest him, and you know that?" She added pulled the cigar between her lips.

So she knew...

Jason brought his hand to his face and run it along, "you know that he is the one who killed my bother and still, he got away with it." He didn't care if he was actually shouting at his boss, he's so angry.

"We got the men who did it, and our officers witnessed that, and the prisoner told us that he doesn't even know who Sebastian is and he just a member in some sort of a gang." She reminded him as the smoke faded in the thick air between them.

Jason's foot was tapping on the floor uncontrollably, he knew there was no point in having this conversation with her, she won't understand, she will never understand that steady pain inside his chest, that he have to suffer from it every single day, she has no idea what was the past two years like for him, it was a living hell, hell that is burning him since that day.

"I know you don't believe it Elizabeth, I can tell just from the look in your eyes when you mentioned the man, that you never did, and I'm not giving up until I prove to you and to everyone that doubted me and told me that I'm just overreacting, that Bonanno was behind all if this, and I'm gonna bring his ass here." And emptying my gun into his chest, he said the last to himself.

Elizabeth, robbed her forehead slowly, of course she doesn't believe it,  in fact she's certain that Sebastian was behind that, but she won't admit it to his face, she knows how reckless he could be at a time.

"Listen Jason." She begun with a soft tone, "I know that you're still under the shock of Jake's death, even though it's been two years since he, you know, and normally you'd be over it by now." She watched his face falling becouse of her vulgarity, but she really didn't mean it tho, she is terrible at doing the soothing character, "I loved Jake, Jason." She started again trying to be nicer, "more then you can possibly imagine, he was a really close friend of mine despite our positions, he had a really huge part from my heart, and it nearly killed me when he was murdered, but sometimes Jason we just have to work with the facts, and the facts said that...for now... Bonanno is innocent, but I promise you that if we get any evidence, you'll be the first one to break into his house and bring his ass in here." She assured him, as he's shoulder relaxed a little.

"Okay.." he sighed even though, deep inside him he knew that he won't give in.
And as if she read his mind she added," you're a really good agent Jason and we really don't wanna lose you, I don't wanna lose you." And for the first time since he got there, her icy expression melts into a warm smile.

"I know." He said simply returning the smile, feeling slightly comfortable.

Her serious expression returned within a second as she stepped slightly away from him, heading to the door, "now, go back to work agent, Spencer Sawn is making a big unlicensed arms sale at the sea port, I want you to stop the sale and bring his ass here by midnight, David will give you all the information you need for the mission." She ordered, walking past him to the door.

"Yes boss." He obeyed, turning his head to face the door.

She looked at him half opening the door as a smirk appeared on her bright red lips.

"Elisa." She corrected him before leaving the office.

The moment he heard the door closed he let out a long exhale, he didn't he was holding for that long, suddenly David and Mike, practically, stumbled into the office with curious expressions on their faces, "what happened?" They asked in the same moment.

"Well." He started rubbing his hands together, "it wasn't that bad." He told them simply as he saw Mike rolling his eyes, clearly irritated.

"Now." He began again moving his gaze towards David who pushed his glasses slightly above his noise as he hold his paperwork against his chest,"Dave, I wanna know everything about Spencer and the shit that'll with happen in the port."
