1Chapter 14
Amy tossed and turned for hours. She looked at the clock impatiently. It was only 4:00 am. She restlessly threw off the covers and put on her robe. She debated with herself a few more minutes, before deciding to go to Lucy's room.
"You're going AWOL soldier." Max said. Amy spun around quickly to see Max going over footage on the computer screen, not bothering to look at Amy.
"Don't you ever sleep?" Amy asked.
"I could ask you the same question. I slept for five hours, then got up to review some of our footage so far. So, where are you going?" Max asked.
"Couldn't sleep. I thought I'd go and visit with some people." Amy said, vaguely.
"All our people are sleeping. I don't know who you could be thinking of." Max replied coolly.
"There's something personal I have to take care of with Lucy. It wouldn't effect my work on this project. I just have to clear my head." Amy said. She heard Max sigh.
"As long as it doesn't effect the mission, I don't care." Max said. Max enjoyed being tough, but Amy searched for Max's approval and found it, so she left her room. She reached Lucy's room and knocked rapidly on the door.
"What- Oh, hi Amy... Agent Bradshaw... I mean." Jessica said, addressing her superior officer.
"Can I talk to Luce- I mean Reynolds for a second?" Amy asked.
"Yeah, sure." Jessica went into the room and Amy heard a muffled, "You have a visitor loser," from Jessica. There was some more rumbling and Lucy appeared at the door. Her face lit up at the sight of Amy.
"Hey. What's up?" Lucy asked.
"Look, I just wanted to let you know you can't have your girlfriends or whatever up here. If Max catches you, you'll get kicked off the mission." Amy said.
"Whoa. What are you talking about?" Lucy asked.
"I saw that girl coming out of your room earlier, and I know you might like her or something, but you have to do that on some off time... or something." Amy said, huffily.
"First of all, she's not a piece of ass. She's my sister. Second of all, she had information regarding the case. Third of all, are you really the kind of person who would rat me out, because I did not expect that from you." Lucy said, now very angry and offended. Amy went bright red. She didn't know Lucy had a sister or that the girl had a reason to be up there other than business. She knew what Lucy meant by that question. She should've given Lucy the benefit of the doubt. She knew her better.
"I'm sorry." Amy said, running back into her room.
"Everything ok?" Max asked.
"Yeah." Amy said, getting in bed. Once she was sure Max stopped listening, for a reason she didn't know, she started to cry.
