Me? Undercover?
The blaring of an alarm rang through the quiet apartment in the early morning hours. A slim, tan hand reached out to smack down on the snooze of the annoying little noise maker. A groan resounded around the room as Lexa slowly sat up in bed and looked back at her alarm. Still tired from her late night she quickly made her way into the kitchen to start a pot of coffee.
The smell of the beans filled her entire apartment as Lexa leaned back against her counter with her coffee filled mug pressed slightly against her lips as she took in quick sips. Memories from her night came rushing back to her and Lexa couldn’t stop the small smile that rose on her lips as she thought about Clarke. She may have had a horrible sense of when to be quiet but the blonde was gorgeous nonetheless. Lexa was quickly pulled out of her thoughts when the front door of her apartment opened to reveal Anya, Lexa’s older sister, strutting in like she owned the place. Anya took a quick glance around before meeting eyes with Lexa. She let a wide smirk play on her lips before making her way over to kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee.
“I’m amazed you’re already up. I figured after last night you’d still be holed up in your room for at least the rest of the day! Bellamy filled me in on everything that happened. I knew someone from our unit shouldn’t have been placed undercover. We all know they watch the cops.”
Anya was a passionate and fierce person. She didn’t let anyone walk over her or did she give a damn about what others thought of her. Not to mention she also had quite a bit of sass that flowed out her mouth. Lexa shook her head as she turned to face Anya, who was already making herself comfortable perched up on the counter top.
“Of course we knew that they watched us. All distributers watch the cops, Anya. We just didn’t know that they had pictures of each of us and knew who we were. Luckily the one who ratted me out wasn’t bright enough to just keep his eyes to himself and pull his gun when I wasn’t paying attention. Things could have ended much differently than they did.” Anya nodded her head while taking a sip from her own mug.
“True. I just still don’t understand how you ended up being the one to go undercover. That’s a hell of a job and I wanted it, but ‘miss perfect detective’ came in and swooped up that opportunity.”
Lexa threw her head back with a laugh before reaching over and shoving a smiling Anya on the arm. As both the girls continued to talk about the past events Lexa couldn’t help but think about the day that she was assigned her undercover case.
One month ago - 4 p.m. December 3, 2016 - LAPD precinct
Lexa was quietly sitting at her desk going over some paper work from a pervious case when Bellamy walked over and did a swift knocking on her desk to get her attention. Lexa placed the papers down before looking up towards him.
“Captain wants everyone in the conference room for a meeting. She says it’s urgent.”
Without even waiting for a reply, Bellamy made quick work of the space between him and the conference room and opened the door before walking in. After letting out a deep breath Lexa quickly reorganized her papers into their respected case folder before sliding it into her drawer and making her way into the conference room. Upon entering Lexa could see all her fellow team mates that made up her unit. Lexa took a seat between Bellamy and Lincoln and took a look around at each face that sat in the room with her. Anya sat in the seat in front of her and sitting next to her was their Lab Analyst, Raven.
Raven was a slender, yet slightly muscular, girl with long brown hair and tan skin that would make the palest person green with jealousy. Lexa had always thought that there was a thing between her older sister and Raven with the way they both danced around each other with their witty banter and smart mouths, but they both would quickly shoot down any and all accusations. Lexa took a quick look to her right to see Lincoln. Lincoln was a tall tan man with a strong chiseled jaw and emotion filled eyes. He was always one to make everyone smile and feel better about themselves. Lincoln was also currently engaged to a woman named Octavia Blake, who was also Bellamy's younger sister. The two had met during a police ball and completely hit it out of the park with each other. While Lincoln was engaged to Bellamy's sister the two never had any hard feelings between them. Bellamy knew all to well the type of person Lincoln was and trusted him with Octavia. The rest of the people around the table Lexa had not grown as close to as the four people who surrounded her side of the table. Before she could get into anymore thoughts about who she did and didn’t really know the door to the conference room was once again pulled open to reveal their captain.
They all stood as a muscular lady quickly walked in and stood at the front of the room at the edge of the table. Their captain was a beautiful woman with ebony skin and short cut hair and held an air of confidence around herself as well as a stern facial expression. Captain Indra did a quick sweep of the detectives and techs around her before, nodding her head to them all.
“You may be seated. Before we get started about why you’re all here I just want you to know that we took careful precautions to make sure the person we choose for this task will be able to not only handle it but also deal with the outcomes that may come along with it. Now, you all know that we’ve been trying to track one of the largest drug distribution warehouses in Los Angeles for some time now and we have finally found a way to get someone on the inside.”
Every person in the room looks at their captain with curious eyes as they all think about the past year they've spent trying to bring down the distributors.
“The current distributors that we have been able to keep tabs on are looking for ways to transport their deliveries by plane and all around the country. So far we’ve been able to stop one attempt of a delivery of 2 kilos of cocaine going from LAX to Washington. We weren’t able to connect them to the delivery or the product itself. We feel it may have been a test run on their newest method to get it into the plane. After realizing that they were only trying to go by planes from LAX, we were able to create a persona of one of you to be the perfect candidate to ‘help’ them in succeeding with getting through LAX.”
Everyone sat back in their seats, jaws clenched, as Indra slowly leaned down and placed her hands flat against the table before looking into each and every persons eyes before finally landing on Lexa. Lexa couldn’t look away as Captain Indra’s eyes bore into hers..
“Detective Lexa Woods. You’ve been specially hand picked to go undercover to help take down one of the largest drug distribution warehouses in Los Angeles.”
