Messes

Hannah Duvall was waiting when they arrived, a satisfied look on her face.

"Don’t say a word." Aidan warned her.

Cal was leaning on him for support, as she was still weak. Krit stood next to him, angry, and Grace was behind them, wishing she could be with Garrett.

"You *lost* an agent! Completely lost her! Her lover, her friend, and the man who was supposed to keep track of her. Lost her. They've got the whole IMF on the lookout." Hannah grinned. "And her *sister* with them!"

"You don't know the situation. You try and battle a bomb."

"You *lost* her! Were you too busy making out in the room next door? What about you, Lee, too busy jacking off?"

"Shut up!" Cal said, mustering her energy. "They weren't in the room at all. Cass and I were getting ready. The explosion happened, and I was hit by the shockwave. I fell unconscious and by the time they came in Cass was gone."

"Probably got wise and left you all."

"You're the one that left, and part of this is on your head." She swayed as her knees gave out. Aidan nodded to Krit, and the two carried Cal inside, laying here down.

"Get me transferred," she instructed Aidan. "They wouldn't."

"I will, but no one will want you. You deserted your unit." He took in her bruised face and laughed.

"I don't care if they want me. Get me the hell away from you and all your little orgy-ridden pals."

"Your career is over, Hannah."

"Fine with me."

"Goodbye."

She turned and stalked off.

"Grace, get over here." Aidan said.

Grace came over to him. "Yes sir?"

"You're taking Hannah's spot over. I want you to gather intel on Spencer."

She nodded.

"And get a doctor here."

"Yes, sir."

Aidan kissed Cal's forehead and then her lips. "You'll be okay."

Cal nodded.

"I didn't mean to tell them..." Grace said, almost pleadingly.

"Bull shit!"

"I need them to trust me, I know I told them too much..."

"Get the fuck away from me."

"Garrett, please... I'm *sorry*..."

"Yeah well sorry doesn't fix this!"

Grace looked at the floor. "You have other bases, and I didn't let the one you're on slip..."

"I can't trust you anymore."

She let out a slight sniffle.

"Don’t even cry you weak little girl. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got your sister upstairs."

Grace blinked. "You… you what?"

"Your sister."

"Why is she here?"

"I wanted her here."

"W-why?"

Garrett laughed. "I think you can figure that one out."

Grace hung her head. "So she's sleeping with you too? I guess it was just a matter of time..."

"Don't look so upset."

"You're keeping my sister here to be your little whore, how should I feel?"

"You betrayed me."

"I didn't mean to..."

"Go away."

Grace left the room, feeling rejected and defeated, but determined not to cry in front of him, for he would only laugh at her.
