Cheating

Wyatt slowly pulls into the outer edge of the parking lot, ensuring that his vehicle is out of sight from the entrance of the building. Tailing Carson had been easy in town after he'd left TJY for the night, and winding up here increased suspicion all the more.

Glancing in the rearview mirror, Wyatt sees his target entering the building. He reaches into the passenger seat and pulls out a photo from a file he'd brought from work. He'd had a hunch, and was hoping to be proved wrong. But he needed to be sure...he needed to get to the bottom of this. He'd gotten on this path from information Carson had been feeding him, apparently not realizing that he'd been under investigation by Wyatt this last week. Now it was time to find out the truth.

Waiting ten minutes and seeing no one emerge, Wyatt gets out of his car and heads inside. Approaching the front desk, he greets the woman with a friendly smile and dives into a conversation, leading into his nonchalant line of questioning. After another ten minutes, he has what he came for, and quietly slips back to his car.

Anger boiled within his veins. This was worse than he'd thought, and it ripped him in two for more reasons that one. Wyatt has to take a minute or two to calm himself before he can drive away. His hands shake as his ire builds within. He would be working tonight from home, so that tomorrow he would be ready.


...The next morning...


Carson sinks down at his desk as usual, actually making it to work on time today. He hoped no one had called his place last night...he hadn't gotten home before coming to work this morning. Taking a swig of coffee, he starts in on his work for the day, his mind only half-concentrating.


Wyatt stalks down the line of cubicles, heading for his father's office. His heels click on the tilted floor, his eyes like stone, greeting no one on the way. Not even bothering to knock, he enters Reese's office, the door remaining ajar. "We have a traitor in our midst," he states flatly.

Reese looks up in surprise, then furrows his brow. "What on earth are you talking about?"

Wyatt throws down several papers of a profile, lists, and bio information, including a photo of a dark-haired woman.

Reese picks it up and looks at it, his confusion growing. "Ashlyn Turner?"

"Yep." Wyatt crosses his arms, his face showing his anger that had persisted since the evening before. "She's a part of the Agency."

"And..." Reese fishes for more information. "How does that make her a traitor?"

"It's not her," Wyatt states evenly. "This is the woman that Misty's Aussie boyfriend has been spending his nights with for the last two weeks."

"What?!" Reese's eyes widen.

"I tailed him last night," Wyatt informs. "He went to a hotel at the edge of town. I questioned the staff and let's just say there's not a whole lot left to the imagination on this one."

Reese's mind reels. "Do you think he's been leaking information?"

"Well what do you think?" Wyatt spits out. "He's cheating on TJY, and he's cheating on Misty! I highly recommend going out there right now and throwing him into the interrogation room. This is unacceptable, and if he's leaked information, we've got a whole lot more on our hands than a moral issue." His glare remains steady. "And you better not let me in that room unless you want a dead witness for what he's done to my cousin."
