Chapter 107 - Black Mole

Section Five 

Ghoul investigator Headquarters (GIH)

Heart Beats Slowly

Lorna took slow breaths as she walks into the wide hall, everyone went by her like ghosts, her heart slamming rapidly in her chest, a sound she couldn't hear or any other around her, all sounds fell deaf to her ears as she slowly took her seat. She took a deep breath closing her eyes.

"Let's do this," she said faintly to herself, as she began typing her resignation letter.

"Lorna".

She gasps with a start facing Mia, thank God it wasn't Jesse, she wasn't sure how she would face her.

"Are you okay? You seem off" Mia asked worried noticing her fidgeting a bit.

"Yeah I'm fine, what is it Mia?" Lorna asked composing herself.

"Well the Captain wants to see you," she said.

'Dammit I'm not done typing my resignation letter' Lorna thought unease. She didn't know how she would face her aunt at this point and her aunt was very good at reading emotions, and in her current state right now, she doubts she would be able to hide any.

"Lorna! Are you sure you're okay, it looks something is bothering you, do you wanna talk about it?" she offers.

"Seriously Mia I'm good," Lorna said forcing a smile as she rose to her feet shutting her laptop in the process.

Mia just gave her a nod.

"Thank you," Lorna said walking away from the hall, heading for the elevator,

Lorna got in sighing, pressing the button for the thirtieth floor, the door closing but a hand stops it, Natasha stepping in with a smirk plastered on her lips.

"Don't mind if I join in" she said amused pressing the button to the floor she wants to stop at.

"I was here first you know," Lorna said slightly pissed at her rude action.

She just made a hmm sound, folding her arms.

Lorna just rolled her eyes facing forward, she was the last person she wants to deal with right now, or so she thought.

"Lorna Hart, the mole in the agency" she mouths word for word.

"Excuse me?" Lorna said facing the bitch that always had a way of getting on her nerves. 

"So are you sleeping with him or working with him, which one huh?" she asked, turning to face Lorna.

"Are you sleeping or working with the black ghoul" she adds more clearly.

All the color drains from Lorna's face at her words, she froze in shock with widen eyes.

"Seems like it's both then" She adds in amusement.

"You are something else aren't you Lorna, out of all the guys you chose a psychic killer"

"He's not a psychic killer" Lorna hissed pissed.

"Come on sweetheart you have got to be joking... he has killed hundreds or maybe thousands of agents, he has succeeded in bringing down our branches throughout the country, and soon just here will be left, it's only a matter of time before he attacks... and in all your extreme nakedness you are fucking him... a slut like yo-"

Lorna slaps her hard on the cheeks, her lip drawing blood in the process.

"Shut your mouth," Lorna said with gritted teeth unable to contain the anger inside her.

Natasha huffed in a sassy manner, whipping the blood off her lips.

"I never once sold any info about the agency, at least there was one code I didn't break, if not by now this agency would have been nothing but ashes," Lorna said sternly.

Natasha faced her with fury eyes knowing she was right, but in her eyes right now Lorna was still the enemy, she always will be and she couldn't wait to bring her down.

The elevator made a ding sound.

"Good luck telling the Captain that crap," she said smirking, stepping out, this was not defeat for her, she would still get what she wants no what.

The door shut close.

Thirtieth Floor

*Ding Sound*

Lorna steps out heading straight to her aunt's office, she was prepared to face anything, she was more than willing to hand in her resignation letter and bear whatever consequence, it was a step.

The door slides open as she walks in.

"Aunt" She began.

"Oh Lorna there you are," Barbra said with a smile against her lips embracing her.

Lorna froze at her aunt's unexpected gesture, this was not what she anticipated at all.

"Aunt?" Lorna said puzzled by her actions.

Barbra broke the hug facing her with a warm smile against her lips.

"It's been weeks how are you feeling?" She asked checking her for any sign of fatigue.

"I-I-I'm fine, are you okay?" Lorna asked in confusion.

"What do you mean by that, You're the one who's been recovering" she shrugs walking back to her seat.

"Come on seat"

Lorna nervously did as she was told, confusion was written on her face, what the fuck was going on, didn't Natasha say anything to her? Why was she so calm like nothing happened.

Lorna gulps hard watching her arrange her files on the desk, she paused sighing, her eyes meeting Lorna's.

"I wish I didn't transfer you to New York" she began,

"Ever since you came into this city it has been hell for you" She adds.

"Aunt"

"Would you like to transfer back" she offers.

Lorna froze at her genuine offer, with widened eyes.

"I could get it done in a day or two, make it a day then"

'Okay what the fuck is going on?'

"Aunt did Natasha tell you anything, 'cause she should," Lorna said puzzled.

"Oh you mean agent bell, I saw her this morning why? Was she supposed to tell me anything?"

"She didn't say anything like concerning the black ghoul and me"

Barbra huffs

"If you are worried about what others think, because you surviving the black ghoul more than once, then you shouldn't, all are just coincidence" she shrugs.

"Aunt that not what I-"

Her phone rings distracting them, but Lorna ignores it.

"I called you here to see how you're doing, haven't gotten the chance to visit," she said firmly.

"There's-"

Her phone rings once more.

"Go ahead pick your call"

Lorna sighs rising to her feet backing Barbra, she picks the call without answering, she just wanted to go back to what she came for, whether her aunt knew or not.

"Hart" she answers.

"Hello Lorna Hart, pleasure".

Lorna froze at the voice, she could recognize that makeshift voice anywhere, that made her skin crawl.

"It's you isn't it," she said in a shaky breath.

"The drug king!"
