The Science of Politics

"I am sure that we will find it at some point." Leo assured her as they walked down the hallway. They had gone through every lock that he could think of. Though as they continued down, Leo saw the picture of her old boyfriend on the wall. He stopped and stared at him. "He looks like a clever man. So where would a smart man hide something?"

She hummed lightly against his neck, causing Raine's neck to vibrate from it. She liked the way he ran his fingers through her hair. Though soon she smiled a bit before slowly getting up. "Okay." Roselyn said, taking his hand once Raine stood up. When they got to the cafeteria, Roselyn got her food and then sat down across from him.

Lennox thought for a moment, staring at his picture before she grabbed it and pulled it off the wall. She was amazed to actually find a safe behind it. "Found it." She said, looking at Leo with a small smile. She bit her bottom lip lightly when she heard the lock click and the door open. "What all is in there?" She asked him.

---

Raine smiled at her, "So i will be leaving tonight for a bite and i'm gonna have to leave you in your room." He said. He knew that she wouldn't like that, but it had to happen. Raine began to eat then looked at her, "I won't be gone long though." He explained. Raine bit his bottom lip lightly.

Leo reached in, pulling out a box and a bag. He glanced around before grabbing her hand. "Lets open this somewhere else." Quickly he closed the safe and the painting before hurrying back to the safety of his room. Once there, Leo closed and locked the door behind them before sitting on his bed and going through the bag. He started pulling out old clothes and a blanket. But as he started to shake out the blanket, a small ring box fell on the floor.

---

A frown went across Roselyn's face as she shifted uncomfortably in her chair. This was definitely us welcomed news. She didn't even like being in her room when Raine was in there but at least he made it more tolerable. "Do you have to go?" Roselyn asked him, clearly upset. "Can't I go somewhere else? I hate it in there."

Lennox went with him to his room, frowning as he watched all the stuff. She grabbed the box that hit the floor, opening it. She frowned when she seen the ring in it. She couldn't help but feel angry. How could he kill himself and leave her this. Lennox looked at Leo, "Put this stuff back." She said, closing the box and throwing it on his bed.

---

Raine looked at her, "Yes i have to go." He said taking a sip of his water. "Well i could let you stay with Marie if she lets you." He suggested. Marie was a trust woman in the group. He knew she would take care of Roselyn and make sure she watched the tapes when she was suppose to.

Leo furrowed his eyebrows, looking at her with some confusion as he opened up the box. He let out a small sigh when he saw the ring inside. Once Leo put the items back into the bag, he sent the bag and the box down to the side. it was difficult to think of what to say, since he actually agreed with what the man did. So instead he walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her. "He probably thought that he would make it." Leo said softly.

---

Roselyn let out a small sigh before nodding. "Then I would like to stay with Marie then." She said as she pushed her tray away. "At least then I won't have to be in my room." While Roselyn had no idea who Marie was, she knew that it had to be better than being alone. Though she was uneasy about being with someone else. After all the people she used to trust had betrayed her, so how would anyone here be different?

Lennox shook her head, "No. In his note he knew that he would die. So why leave something like this. I don't want it. Put it all back." She snapped. She wrapped her arms around him tightly and buried her face in his chest. She was glad that she had Leo.

---

Raine nodded, "Alright well lets go meet Marie then." He said. He stood with her, throwing away their trash before he walked to one of the rooms. He knocked smiling as an older lady opened the door. "Hey Marie. This is Roselyn. She is new here and instead of being stuck in that room i was wondering if she could hang out with you?" He asked. Marie smiled, "Well of course she can. Come on in." She said as she let the two in.

Leo let out a small sigh as he laid his head on top of hers. He understood that this must be difficult for her. Though he still wanted to see what was in the box. But he felt like he knew better than to say anything about it now. "I will put it back later." He mumbled before lightly kissing her forehead. Now it was up to him to try and make Lennox feel better. "But for now, do you want to lay down or go do something?"

---

Roselyn walked into the room, making sure to stay close to Raine as she did so. While Marie seemed nice, she did not know if she really could trust her or not. Though if Raine trusted her than maybe it would be okay...At least she wouldn't be alone in that room anymore. "Hello." Roselyn said softly as she sat down in one of the chairs in the room. It was actually pretty nice in there.

Lennox thought for a moment, "I wanna lay down." She said. She laid down with him and snuggled up to him. She bit her bottom lip lightly as she laced her fingers with his. She looked at him, "I'm glad you are helping me." She said, smiling. Lennox kissed him softly and relaxed against him.

---

Marie smiled, "Hello dear. Would you like something to drink?" She asked her. Raine looked at the two of them, before looking at Roselyn, "I'm gonna get going. I will come get you as soon as i'm back." He said, kissing her forehead. He walked out, leaving the two alone.

Leo wrapped his arms around Lennox, pulling her close to him. When she kissed him, he lightly kissed her back before leaning up and pressing a kiss against her cheek and then on her forehead. "I am glad too." He told her. Leo then reached down and wrapped a blanket around the both of them.

---

Roselyn frowned a bit as she watched Raine walk out of the room. Though she then turned back to Marie. She guessed that the lady seemed nice. "Yes I would. Thank you." Roselyn said. Soon she was leaning against the chair, drinking tea. Roselyn wondered how long Raine was going to be gone for.

Lennox closed her eyes as she relaxed in his arms. She looked at him, "What are your plans for the week?" She asked him. Lennox liked to know when things were happening. With Leo he could give her that sense of control.

---

Marie smiled and sat with the girl. "So you have taken a liking to Raine?" She asked her. Marie could tell that the girl was scared for Raine to leave her behind. She knew the girl had helped the government and she still didn't trust her just yet.

"I have two more missions this week and a few meetings, but for the most part I am free besides training." Leo told her softly as he ran his fingers through her hair. He knew that Lennox was stressed over the engagement ring, and that she just needed someone to comfort her, and Leo was more than ready to be there for her.

---

Roselyn looked up at Marie before slowly nodding. "I have." She said softly as she looked down at the tea. "I wish he wouldn't have left me..." Roselyn rubbed her face before taking another long drink of it. Already she was feeling anxious that he had left her. She hoped that he came back soon...
