Captured for Interrogation

Alexis was curled up on one of the chairs, slightly dozing, her Beretta in her hand loosely. She woke up when she heard Nikolai return.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai motioned that it was OK and let her go back to sleep.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis nodded and fell back into her light doze, not really sleeping but not really awake either.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai saw a couple of suited men knock on Paige' door. "Check this out," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Hmm? Oh, that is interesting. Is there audio?" she asked, waking out of her doze.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai punched it up. "Here you go," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis scooted her chair closer. "I think those are representatives of her father's estate," she said softly.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Do we need to worry about them or are they just lawyers?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"I think they're just lawyers, but I'm not sure," she confessed.

 

[bindingeagle]

"I guess we can just watch the show then," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Mkay," she said, resting her head on his shoulder, her eyes glued to the screen.

 

[bindingeagle]

It was a very boring show, mostly Paige filling out paperwork and discussing business with the lawyers. They left, and she began to cook dinner.

 

[celestialdragon]

"I want that paperwork," she whispered softly, watching Paige cook.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Fine," he said. "I'll sneak in and get it while she's sleeping."

 

[celestialdragon]

"I can do it," she said softly.

 

[bindingeagle]

"OK, but don't let her know. We need to make copies and put it back before she gets up in the morning," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis nodded. "I'll be careful," she promised.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai tossed her pistol. "Good luck," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis caught it and smiled, before sneaking out and down the hall to Paige's room. She jimmied the door and was careful not to let any light shine through as she made her way to Paige's briefcase while she snored away on the bed. She found the paperwork easily enough, and took a few quick pictures before slipping them back in and slinking back to her room. "Piece of cake."

 

[bindingeagle]

He kissed her. "I love it when you spy," he said, "It's foxy."

 

[celestialdragon]

She purred as she kissed him back. "Mm, is it now?" she teased.

 

[bindingeagle]

"It sure is, but we have a lot of work to do," he said, beginning to copy the papers.

 

[celestialdragon]

She began to upload the pictures she took, humming idly.

 

[bindingeagle]

When he was done, he handed her the stack. "I'll return the data, you have fun going through it," he said, heading out.

 

[celestialdragon]

She nodded and began going through all the paperwork, making notes as she went.
