Captured for Interrogation

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai fell asleep in her embrace, feeling safe for the first time since China.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis woke up early to prep for Jason's arrival, slipping into a little black dress that showed off her curves, and she sat down in front of the mirror to do her hair and make up, trying to be quiet to not wake Nikolai.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai saw her preparing and rolled over, not to let her know he knew she was getting ready for the big move.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis finished her smokey make up and soft curls. Smiling at the sleeping Nikolai, she stood up and made her way to the cell where Paige was.

"Paige, time to wake up," she said softly.

 

[bindingeagle]

Paige was already dressed when she got there. "Food wasn't bad, but I couldn't sleep. Too many nerves," she said. "Where do we go now, and how are you going to move me there?"

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis withdrew a pair of handcuffs with a decent amount of chain. "It's just a few doors down, but safety precaution," she said apologetically. She entered the cell and beckoned for Paige's wrists. "You look absolutely stunning," she added.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Why thank you," she said. "If I weren't going to be a pornstar in the next week, I might actually have made more of an effort."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis chuckled. "Jason's good folk, sweetie. Who knows? I might see you as center spread in Playboy," she teased. Leading her out by the extensive chain, she made her way down to the office where Jason was waiting.

"Jason, darling," Alexis said, smiling at him as she walked over to greet him, keeping an eye on Paige. "How are you doing?" she asked, hugging him.

Jason kissed her cheek. "Very good, thank you. And you look positively glowing. Please tell me you're getting laid," he told her, smiling politely at Paige.

"Mhm. Not drunk, either," she confided.

"I wanna see pics!" he pouted.

"I'll email some. He's foreign, too."

"Yummy. So, this is her?"

"Yes, this is Paige. Paige, this is Jason, your new boss," She introduced.

 

[bindingeagle]

Paige looked him over appraisingly. "I guess he's not so bad. What kind of paperwork do I have to do now?"

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis chuckled, while Jason smiled. He withdrew a few documents, handing two over to Alexis to sign, before handing the rest to Paige. "Please feel free to read through them. Most of the paperwork will be done at my office, with lawyers present," he said.

Alexis filled out the paperwork she needed to and handed it back to him.

 

[bindingeagle]

Paige perused the documents before signing them and handing them back. "I guess we'll discuss length of contract later," she said, standing and offering her wrists to be uncuffed.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis uncuffed Paige's wrists and looked at Jason. "All yours," she said. "Do keep in touch, and if you're in the capitol," she said.

"I'll stop by for cocktails," he teased.

 

[bindingeagle]

Paige followed him out. "You're one spy I'll never forget,"she said, blowing Alexis a kiss on the way out.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis smiled. "The same goes for you, dear," she promised back, blowing another kiss back. She made her way back to her quarters and sighed deeply as she took off the heels and started wiping away her make up.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai was up and had eaten breakfast when she got back "How did it go?" he asked, kissing her cheek.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Well. She didn't put up a fuss," Alexis said, kissing his cheek back. "How are you feeling?" she asked, continuing to remove her makeup.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Well rested," he said, putting on some gym clothes. "Just another day in the service. How about you?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"Better. Another day," she said.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Well what do you want to do since we're benched?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"What do you want to do?" she countered, slipping out of the dress she had worn. "You're the one who's on the mend, not me. If I had it my way, we'd be relaxing in our apartment, sipping on wine and dancing to jazz."

 

[bindingeagle]

"Let's get on that then. Who do we talk to about transport?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"The Director said we're to stay here for two more days," she said. "I got an email from him last night, otherwise, we'd be boarding by now." She sat down in her own gym clothes and sighed, running her fingers through her hair. "He wants to make sure that everything's cleaned up."

 

[bindingeagle]

"I guess there are worse places to be stuck than Hawaii," he said. "Let's go out on the town. Anywhere good?"

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis thought about that for a bit. "Well, I know of a quaint little Chinese place down the street from here," she said finally. She stood up and walked over to him. "How does that sound?"

 

[bindingeagle]

"I'm game, let's go," he said, finishing cleaning up and offering his arm to escort Alexis out.
