My Snippets: Part 2

Top Secret

Does Sakura know more than what she's letting on? After all, she insists that he's just an accountant.

A sasusaku snippet. CIA agent Sasuke and his stay at home wife Sakura. A little angsty, will have action and 18+ if continued. UNEDITED. (This part is Saku centered.)

Multiple CIA agents congregate around her dinner table, a warm tea in hand. Sakura shook her head, her mind not comprehending the words that were flowing freely from the young, female agent's lips. Her husband... a killer?

'No fucking way! It can't be Sasuke. They're wrong. They have to be. They have the wrong man! Maybe it's a doppelganger— Yes, that has to be it. Sasuke would never do anything like what they're accusing him of. He's so sweet and gentle. He's not capable of it. He's just an accountant!'

"No, it can't be him," she insists as she shakes her head continuously, affirming her previous statement. "My husband... he's just an accountant. He couldn't possibly be involved in such atrocious matters." Her gaze hardened as her resolve became clear. "No...I don't believe a single word you say, agent Tanaka. I won't believe anything that comes from your tongue until I speak with Sasuke-kun first."

The stern agent gave her a sympathetic look before leaning forwards in her chair, her hands steepled in front of her. "I understand your feelings on this, Mrs. Uchiha, I do. But the facts don't lie. Your husband is a killer, and we need to find him. Quickly. He needs to be brought to justice for his crimes."

Sakura's fists slam against the wooden table in front of her, bringing all the hushed conversations around them to a halt. All eyes were now focused on her. "I will not stand for you talking about him like this any longer, agent Tanaka. My husband is a good man. A respectable member of society. He takes care of me and our...," she pauses, her hand moving to rest on her toned belly before closing her eyes with a sigh. "He isn't capable of hurting anyone."

The young agent's lips twist with irritation and she opens her mouth to retaliate, but the man standing directly behind her places a hand firmly on her left shoulder. Tanaka looks up at him and he shakes his head. She keeps her mouth shut; insults and anger lay on the tip of her tongue now held hostage in the wake of her superior's silent command. The older, more experienced man speaks directly to Sakura. "I apologize if we've offended you, Mrs. Uchiha. That was not our intention."

Sakura scowled at him, her tea now cold and stood up from her seat, arms crossing defensively across her chest. "I think that it's time for all of you to leave now, agent Nakamura. We're done here."

"But Mrs. Uchiha...," agent Tanaka began to protest but the firm grip on her shoulder only tightened and she flinched, looking up at the man attached to the large hand with a deep frown. 'Why would he stop me from questioning our main suspect's wife? Is he hiding something? Does he know something that I don't?' Sakura turned her back on them and made her way to the front door, opening it.

"It was nice meeting all of you, but if you don't mind I have things that need to be attended to. You may take your leave." Agent Nakamura had never been kicked out of anywhere before and tried to hold a blank expression as he bowed politely to their host.

"Apologies again, Mrs. Uchiha. We will be in touch." To his men, "Move out!" Without complaints or any hesitation, every agent stood and silently took their leave. The door closed quickly behind them. Agent Tanaka continued to scowl.

"Why didn't we force Mrs. Uchiha to let us stay and interrogate her further?" Her fists clenched. "She's clearly hiding something. She's trying to protect him but I know he's the killer. He has to be!"

Nakamura walked beside her nonchalantly as they crossed the street towards their car. "We don't have a warrant, agent. Besides, I've got everything I need to take this bastard down now."

Tanaka looked at him skeptically; her hand placed on the door's handle. "Do you have a plan then?" His only response was a wicked grin and Tanaka didn't know if she should be terrified or thrilled at the prospect of finally catching their killer.
