[From Honor Code]
Claire's POV:
At the security office people were rushing about, causing a bit of havoc as we made our way behind the blonde, busty secretary Ms. Ozgood.
"I'm sorry I didn't get back to you right away agent McGee. We've been having some problems of our own." The secretary apologized earnestly as she led us through the building.
"Problems?" McGee asked.
"Honestly, I don't know. I'm only Mr. Connell's assistant." She explained as the lights flickered on and off before completely shutting off.
"That's been happening for the last half hour. They should cut back on." She explained with a sigh. As we waited in the dark I could feel a hand sneaking it's way under my shirt. Jumping from the contact I reached over and punched the culprit in the shoulder.
"Tony!" I scolded as he laughed at my reaction. Before I could let him have it, the lights came up again and a security guard nearly ran us over with his Segway. I quickly jumped out of the way, knocking into Tony who swiftly grabbed the secretary and swung her around to safety against the desk. I watched with a glare as she gazed up at him with a dazed smile.
"Are you alright Ms. Ozgood?" Tony asked, a charming grin on his face.
"Uh…its Laura." She told him, obviously enjoying his arms around her.
"Laura." Tony whispered lowly, not taking his arms away. Biting the inside of my cheek I stood there next to McGee as the two remained in their embrace. After a few seconds I cleared my throat loudly, getting their attention.
"If you two are done?" I quipped irritably. Tony looked over at me apologetically and another voice rang out in the lobby.
"Ms. Ozgood?" a man asked sternly, his hands on his hips as he surveyed the situation. Laura quickly untangled herself from Tony in alarm.
"I'll take it from here." He dismissed her curtly. She straightened her blouse in embarrassment and rushed off, Tony watching her go.
"Greg Connell, QNR security." He introduced himself to us.
"You guys sure got here fast." He mused in confusion.
"We just found out about the break-in ourselves about an hour ago." The commander man beside him piped up. The three of us looked at one another in confusion at this news. What break in was he talking about? As the men gestured for us to follow them upstairs I wanted to take a moment to have a little talk with Tony. Dragging him roughly by the arm I found a secluded alcove for us to talk. Tony rubbed his arm, as I threw him forward.
"What the hell was that?!" I spewed at him, feeling my emotions coming up to the surface as I had been keeping them in while in public. Tony looked at me curiously.
"You bumped me into her. What's the big deal?" he questioned.
"The big deal is you two were ogling each other and getting pretty comfortable as you felt her up." I growled. Tony held out his hands, trying to calm me down.
"There was no feeling up anyone. Besides, what else was I supposed to do with McGee standing there?" he pointed out gently. I glared at him, not following.
"What does McGee have to do with anything?" I asked him curiously, feeling my temper starting to simmer down.
"If McGee sees me backing off every woman I come across, he's going to know that something is up. I thought we were trying to keep this to ourselves?" he explained, walking forward and placing his hands on my shoulders. I glared up at him.
"Fair point but would it kill you to tone it down a bit. Especially around me." I asked him sincerely. Apparently I'm the actively jealous one in this relationship and if he was going to have to flirt to keep up a façade then this was going to be difficult. Tony chuckled before bringing me into a hug. I sighed and used the moment to lean further into his embrace.
"I'll do my best. Can't have you clawing someone's eyes out over me. That wouldn't be too subtle." He joked.
"Shut up." I mumbled into his chest, smiling as he placed a kiss on top of my head. With a heavy sigh I broke away from him and lead the way back to the lobby to continue on with our assignment.
