COVERING

Chapter 1-The Girl Named Marissa

David worked quietly at his desk. It had been 4 months since the Janus List was brought out to the open. 4 months since Colby was quietly carried off in hand-cuffs. 4 months since he was betrayed.

And he still couldn't get over it.

David looked up from his work long enough to see a young girl walking around the office looking very lost.

"Can I help you?" David asked. The girl looked up. She looked about 19 or 20, was very tall, brown hair, and amazing blue eyes. But there was no smile on her face, and she was cracking her knuckles nervously. She walked over to David and nodded.

"I'm looking for some friends of my brother," she said quietly.

"May I ask who?" David said, watching as the girl got more nervous by the second.

"Um, Agents….Don Eppes…Megan Reeves…and David Sinclair…" she said, "Oh, and Charlie Eppes too," she remembered.

"We're going in the back room right now, is it important?" David asked. She nodded. "Okay, come on," David said, and led her to the back where Don and the others had set up their next case.

"Hey, before we start, um…" David looked to the young woman.

"Marissa," she said quietly.

"Marissa has something to tell all of us," David said, looking up. Not only were the people she asked for there, but so was Liz, Amita, and Larry.

"Thank you," she said, standing up to the front.

"Who is she?" Don asked David quietly.

"Dunno, she say's we're friends of her brother," David answered.

"She seems so familiar…" Charlie said. Larry nodded in agreement. Marissa coughed to get their attention.

"Hi," she said. She obviously memorized a speech. "My name is Marissa Granger…" she waited as some of the audience made the connection. "Colby is my brother," she saw anger cross several of their faces. "What if I told you that he didn't work for the Chinese?" Megan's eyebrows shot up. "And that he was covering for someone so that they wouldn't get hurt?" the team shared a quick glance. Is this girl serious? "And…" they all looked closely, "What if I knew exactly who he was protecting and where to find them?"
