"Do you intend on putting the Whinnish into power? Coeur, from what I recall, is just about as noble as Solaris. Not as noble, of course. Nopony is as noble as Solaris. It's quite endearing, actually." Clandestine paused. "He's a dreamy stud, too." It was very casual.
"I'm entirely bored." He sighed. "I'm going to make some food, it will at least keep me entertained." He moved toward the kitchen.

Alpha rolled his eyes again. "Maybe you oughta go try your luck with him then." He said sarcastically. "I was thinking that we could make it so that the whinnish weren't ever welcome here again. Ponies won't like it when they hear that the Whinns is fighting all of their battles for them. They'll demand a stronger military force. And Whinns won't so much as be looked at if a conflict arises."

"Careful, they could be hailed as defending heroes. They did take on superior odds and win." Clandestine called back, getting to work on some souffles. Delicate and full of hot air, a lot like the baker of said souffles.
"So, Alphy, how did you find Bella?"

"Don't worry about that. I'm great at winging it." Alpha responded, taking a seat and watching Clandestine work.
"Funnily enough, I picked her up just after I spoke to you." He said. "She was dealing with another acquaintance of mine and caught my eye. Imagine my surprise when I find out she's had more than a little experience in the underground crime rings. So I brought her on board. And she's proved useful so far."

"Interesting, Bella's not a name I'm familiar with when it comes to underground crime rings." The fact he was entirely unaware of Bella was still a point of nagging annoyance to Clandestine.
"Though I can understand why she caught your eye~." Clandestine continued. It occurred to him he was still dressed as Ivy Vine. He put the confections in to bake. "I will return. This disguise is irritating me."
The unicorn disappeared into one of the side rooms and began becoming Clandestine again.

Bella looked at herself in a small, reflective surface inside the elevator as it descended to the secret bunker. She wearily stared at herself, fixing up her disguise and making sure she hadn't missed a single detail on it. She had just gotten back from informing Solaris about her tasks and of Shortfuse's betrayal. It was a rather painful experience altogether; not only from the uncomfortable cot she awoke upon this morning, but also standing before somepony as noble as Solaris himself and explaining that she had executed their enemy's plan flawlessly, defacing their allies and betraying her beloved nation. Bella paused in her motion and truly looked at herself in the mirror. She was beginning to have her own doubts about the mission, but knew that everypony was counting on her to do her job. She could do this. She had to.
All of Alpha's targets had been sufficiently usurped from their respect for their positions. Cloudsdale's mayor, Fillydelphia's chief judge and guard captain, Manehattan's chief judge, guard captain and mayor and Stableside's mayor were all now corrupt public officials in everypony's eyes. Last but not least was her final target, being the chief judge of Canterlot. That mission came around to save her life when she tried to best Shortfuse and failed. Sadly she'd have to deal with Shortfuse as early as tomorrow. For tonight she just wanted to get some sleep and enjoy another bittersweet with a pony that she'd painfully fallen for.
The elevator finally reached its destination and Bella stepped out of the carriage. It didn't take long to find Alpha where he was in bunker. A feeling of guilt and happiness fought each other when she saw his face. She put on a tired, but happy smile. She was glad to be in a place where she didn't have to leave the next morning. She trotted straight over to Alpha and planted a kiss on his cheek before sitting down beside him. "Hey honey, sorry I'm late. Work held me hostage for a day. Literally." she greeted him. There was a sense of relief that she felt ashamed of at the moment.

Alpha was lost in thought when Bella came from behind and kissed him, so it caught him by surprise. He looked at her with a pleased smile. "You're here!" He said. "What happened? Who held you hostage?" He looked a little more concerned now, looking Bella over. She looked fine, but he wasn't sure if she was hiding any injuries with her illusion.

Bella ignored Alpha's attempts to look her over as she moved beside him and leaned on him, with no shortage of nuzzling. "Oh his name is Shortfuse. You said to look into Solaris, so for my extra credit homework assignment I thought that I'd deface Shortfuse as well; I thought he was working with the good Marshal. I wasn't expecting that he had an army of spies keeping overwatch on him, nor that I'd be captured." Bella began. She leaned in close and whispered to Alpha. "He put me in his scary dungeon. It wasn't as nice as I was expecting." she added in a lighthearted manner that only he would understand. She then laid her head against him, staring off as she continued speaking aloud. "But a black eye and a good bit of talking later I found that Shortfuse is also conspiring against the Crown as we are. He requested a meeting with you in exchange for my life. If he wasn't so worth our while I'd ask you to kill him~. But we can deal with him tomorrow." She explained. She now leaned off of Alpha and looked at him. "How've you been?" she finally asked.

Alpha wasn't quite sure if Bella was recalling her misadventure or trying to seduce him. Odds were both with her. He listened to her whole story and found it more than interesting. Shortfuse was a very influential pony. And if Bella was anyone to believe, a potentially powerful ally.
How've you been? She asked. Alpha smiled and started to return all the nuzzles and physical affection. "Lonely." He said. "Glad to see you're alright. I might kill the one that hurt you."

"Mmm, he was just a lowly henchman doing his job. He brought me a cot and some soup in the end so my stay in the scary dungeon wasn't so bad. You're lucky I'm so good at my job. I placed a bet on my work for my safe release and won. Otherwise I wonder how long it would've took you to find me. Canterlot's big place with all sorts of nooks and crannies. I mean, you could practically fit a whole bunker under it and nopony would ever find it." she added in a joking manner as she nuzzled against him once more. She had obviously missed doing so. "Did you get all of your work done? Take care of what you needed?" she asked.

"Yeah." Alpha said. "Everything's moving according to plan. You did a good job yourself, this fellow Shortfuse might prove useful. Oh, and Clandestine's got a bone to pick with you I think." Alpha stacked his papers and set them aside for now. "Got a surprise for you, too. Left down the hall, fourth door on the right."

Bella only gave a simple hum to Alpha's comment about Shortfuse. She'd personally rather see him dead. His comment about Clandestine having a 'bone to pick' with her was something that made the hair on the back of her neck begin to stand. She began to worry about he could possibly know about her. She had been quite cautious after all, but her recent endeavor proved that even she made mistakes. "Ooh, I'll be surprised after I get some dinner." she replied. She then patted the spot where her knife was hidden beneath her illusion. It was a full-tang stiletto that she had picked up during the last week. She wanted to wait until she found a quality switchblade before buying another; most were cheap knock-offs anyway. Her last good knife had disappeared with Alpha anyway, probably lying in that void place. "If he intends to kill me I hope you'll have my back rather than his. I've yet to find a permanent solution to killing you, after all." she added in a serious tone before looking up at Alpha. She smiled and stuck out her tongue, implying the joke. But Alpha would know she had meant those words.

"I think he's more annoyed than anything." Alpha said reassuringly. "He was attacked by bandits just outside of Canterlot. Chalks it up to your handiwork. And he's working on dinner anyway. Besides..." Alpha took Bella's hoof and gave it a kiss.
"Clancy can get over it if he's got a problem with you."

A feeling of relief came to Bella when she heard Alpha's words. "Mhmmm. I hope he wouldn't be so irrational as to believe that me doing my job properly was the reason for his bad time. Tartarus forbid he has a bad day." she stated, rolling her eyes. It was then that Bella hugged Alpha and seemed to wearily drape herself over him. "How much time do we have before dinner?" she asked him, her voice hinting at how tired she was.

Alpha wrapped his hooves around Bella's waist. "Probably a good hour if you wanna go lay down." He said. "Just pick any bedroom. They're all basically setup the same. We can get a proper briefing on our next move done later."
