Undercover

f i t h t e e n

Apparently, the job starts today.

At least that's the news I got this morning...

Today was the day that everything ended.

I would go back to my normal job. I didn't have to worry about lying. I didn't need to watch my back for somebody realizing that I was a cop. Everything would be over.

But, more things I thought, more questions I had...

Why did the boss chose me? Why did he send Garrett to follow me? What was inside that box? What did THAT have to do with my undercover...

And that wasn't everything on my mind...

Before I headed to work, I called my real boss, so that I could tell him, what was going down today...

And we both agreed on me recording the conversation through my phone, even though it could be difficult to hear it after since I would have to hide it from the rest of the people.

On my way to work, I was nervous... This would be it... I could mess all of this up or everything would be perfect.

But even before that could happen, I had to go through the entire day... Because the plan was that everybody in this would be staying overtime.

Like usual, Garrett was there before me, sitting at his desk... In his mind, I was acting like a freak, and honestly, I probably was... The problem was that I didn't take him out as a suspect, so I was in careful mode, I couldn't trust anymore that the J's interacted with, and that included Garrett...

As much as I didn't want to blame him... All my brain was saying was that it was him.... He was the brains... It explained his stalking and his interest in knowing me and him always being there when I spoke to the J's in person...

So that was my mindset that day.

What I did was, go straight to my desk and ignore his presence.

"Okay, I'm done with this attitude, what is going on with you??"- I hear Garrett talk to me from his desk

"I'm just not in a good mood or wanting to talk to anybody."- I make a reason up

Luckily, he doesn't question my reason and goes back to his work, while I start mine, but this time I don't have anything to do about the case.

At lunchtime, I saw Jessica giving me a look confirming the date.

This time I went back into eating in the cafeteria, and it was in that moment that I realized that I haven't told Mr.Russo that this was happening. Even then, I thought that it would be better if I didn't so that he didn't get worried and ruin everything.
