"Damn", she cursed reaching for her ankle. She just had to trip on this particular mission. She usually never makes any mistakes, but today she just wasn't herself.
Was it because of him? Not now Miriallia. Stop thinking about it and focus.
She started her walk through the tunnels again. She never knew Orb had an old subway system. Maybe back in the days when grandma was a teenager, she thought. She stopped. Voices could be heard. She turned off her flashlight and advanced slowly following only the sounds. She couldn't see anything from where she was but she knew she'd get out of here in a few minutes with the information she was paid to gather. And then, she'd be able to buy that prototype he wanted so much he even got mad at her this morning and left without a goodbye kiss…
She adjusted her lenses, took off the flash and slowly walked towards the dimmed lights. She saw some guards near the end of the tunnel. Then she realized it. Zaft soldiers?! Of course she'd recognize that particular outfit. She did date him. "Bastard", she muttered to herself.
Anyways just what were they doing here?
Was Captain La Flaga right about his report? Of course she didn't doubt his judgements, but she was pretty shocked when he told her Lacus suspected traitors among the Plants soldiers. It's been eight years since the first war and nearly six, since Lacus and Cagalli were both commander in chief. Everything was suppose to be much better now but then why…
She realised she may not find the answer as fast as she thought after all when she felt the gun on the back. She knew she was cornered and, fighting back would mean she wouldn't be able to head back home. It would be the end. So, she raised her arms and waited. She blacked out.
"… don't want anyone meddling around here. I'll deal with this."
Who was it? She tried opening her eyes but the lights were too strong.
"But Sir, she might be a spy. I dragged her here because you said you needed some answers but we went through her stuff and —
Ouch, she thought.
He must have knocked me on the head. I hope I'm not bleeding. She then realised she couldn't move. Those bastards had tied her up. They even took her camera. Shit, she had to get out of here fast.
"Are you questioning my authority soldier?"
" No Sir, I'm just worried she'll compromise our mission."
She tried standing up but then something got her attention. She knew that voice. But why? Was the Captain right on him too?
"Oh look, our uninvited guest is awake. I hope you had a nice nap, darling " said the man walking towards her.
She couldn't believe it. He was acting even corkier than he used too. That bastard.
"How many times have I told you to stop calling me that stupid nickname of yours?"
