Mission
"Yeah, is there a problem?" The guy asked.
"Well is just that Brennan and Lexa don't get along at all, it would be better to send Shalimar and Brennan or Lexa and me" Jesse explained. But in that moment, the screen flashed and a face appeared, reveling that the guy behind the voice was Lexa's old Dominion Contact.
"Sorry Mr. Kilmartin, but I need Mr. Mulwray's experience and Ms. Pierce has handled missions like this before" The guy explained, looking straight at Lexa.
"What makes you think, Lexa can handle something like this?" Shalimar asked.
"Because none of you know what Ms. Pierce is actually capable of doing, but me" The guy replied, smiling. Lexa stood on straight and her eyes looked up to the screen.
"When do we start?" Lexa asked, in a serious voice that made everyone look at her.
"Tomorrow, all the details about the mission will be sent to your computer. Is good to see that you made it out of there alive, Ms. Pierce" The man said.
"Good to know you kept your promise to see each other again" Lexa replied, walking
Away.
"Don't I have an opinion in this?" Brennan asked, still confused.
"No you don't Mr. Mulwray" The man said, ending the call.
"What the hell" Brennan shouted, without realizing that lexa hadn't left completely.
"I know that spending time with me, is a nightmare for you brennan, but I expect a professional behavior from you in this case, because if you can't do it, I have no problem finding someone to replace you" lexa told him, walking away to her room and slamming the door shut.
Brennan shook his head and closed his eyes, his intention wasn't hurting her. Shalimar wasn't happy with this mission but chose to stay quiet and figure out a way to get more information. They all went to bed, Brennan was in his room, staring at the ceiling and playing with a small ball.
He got up and went to get some air to clear his mind, while he was walking through sanctuary, he heard noise on one of the rooms, he approach it very quietly and found lexa practicing with a simulator of various opponents. He had seen her fight before, but not like this, every move was calculated to kill the opponent not harm it. The words the man had said, replayed themselves in his head.
'Exactly how much of Lexa Pierce did they really knew" Brennan thought, watching her. She had fought Shalimar in the past and lost, but with what he was watching her do, he realized she had held back and faked most of times. He was so lost in his own thoughts, that he didn't realize when lexa moved to stand in front of him. She was drying the sweat on her back and chest with a towel, while looking straight at him.
"Did you enjoy the show?" Lexa asked, with a serious expression on her face.
"How much of what we know about you, is true lexa? Brennan asked, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"Almost nothing, you should get some sleep, this mission is hard and I don't like failure" Lexa replied, walking past him and disappearing in the hallway.
Brennan stood there for a few seconds and then went to his room; he lay down on his bed and smiled. The woman was a mystery and he really wanted to decipher her.
The next morning, Brennan woke up and read the files about his cover; his name was going to be Victor Lehane, a scientist who specialized in genetics. He read a bit of lexa's cover, and tried to memorize everything so he wouldn't screw up. He went out side to meet the rest of the team. Lexa came down the stairs, wearing a black dress that fitted her body perfectly, the cut in the front gave a perfect view of her cleavage and her hair was loose around her shoulders. Brennan swallowed hard at the way she moved in the design. She finally joined him and that's when he noticed; the cut on the back of the dress was long almost to her lower back. She looked stunning and Jesse had also notice it.
"You look amazing Lexa" Jesse told her, with a smile on her face.
"Thanks, that's sweet of you, but don't get use to it, is just part of my cover" lexa replied. She handed Brennan his wedding ring and a little device to put in his ear that would keep them in contact with their handler. Brennan took the ring and slipped in his finger, noticing she already had hers on; he smiled and fixed his tie. Shalimar was watching the way they behaved; she had this strange feeling that they were hiding something. Brennan has seen something in the file about being armed, in this mission, so seen how tight lexa's dress was; he wondered where she kept her weapon. He was looking at her and she turned around, looking into his eyes.
"Are you armed?" Brennan asked.
"Always" Lea replied, smiling.
"So what is this mission about lexa?" Shalimar asked, walking up to them.
"Ferals are so curious, I've always found that very interesting" lexa said, smiling.
"You didn't answer my question" Shalimar told her, looking annoyed.
"I don't have to" lexa replied, walking away. Shalimar was about to talk again, when Jesse stopped her.
"Shal back off, this is their mission not ours" Jesse told her.
"To be honest, shal I don't know what the mission is about, apparently they will tell us when we arrive there, see ya guys in a few days" Brennan told them.
"Be careful" Shalimar shouted. Once Brennan was gone, shal turned to Jesse.
"I don't trust lexa, she is acting really strange" Shalimar said.
"I think she is just tired of being questioned and bothered" Jesse replied, walking back to the lab.
Lexa was waiting for Brennan, when he arrived, she noticed his comlink, and she grabbed his hand and took it off. Brennan was about o ask her why when she replied.
"They would notice a strange frequency" lexa replied, placing the ring, in the helix.
"What about the thing in my ear?" Brennan asked.
"I have used that before in my other missions and it is untraceable" lexa explained, closing the doors and firing up the helix. When they arrived at the parking lot, they took a car, to the hotel. Lexa was quiet, checking some files and reading some details of the mission. They finally arrived and before they got out lexa told Brennan something.
"Don't question anything I do In there, until we are alone and in private" Then she got out of the car and waited for him, brennan laughed and got out, before they crossed the front doors, lexa took a hold of his hand and leaned closer, brennan was completely confused, but kept on walking.
