Undercover

Chapter 1

"What do you mean you talked to Strickland and he agreed to go undercover with me?" Sandra exclaimed in shock and disbelief. She stood in the middle of the UCOS office looking at the three men who had all but committed mutiny against her.

"We agreed that the best way to get to Bennett was to go undercover at this golf and spa resort that he is staying at." Jack began carefully sensing her anger. She wasn't sure she had ever been this irritated with her team and she just glared as they continued to talk.

"And it's a couple's resort so we can't just send you in alone" Brian added as if she didn't already know all of this.

"It wouldn't be safe to send you in alone anyway, this guy is dangerous after all and chauvinistic so he isn't likely to open up to you. But I can't golf with this broken ankle." Gerry continued to tell her information she already knew but she couldn't find the words to stop them instead she looked down at the cast on his leg.

"Plus no one is going to believe you are my wife and this is not the place a father goes with his daughter." Jack reminded her that this resort was only populated with couples most of whom were married.

"I know all of this" she hissed at them finally finding her voice. "And that is why we disregarded the idea." She told them through her teeth as her anger strangled her voice.

"Yes but then we got to thinking about alternative options and we thought of Strickland. He is the right age." Brian replied eagerly not picking up on her volatile mood.

"And we know he golfs, he was in Spain not two months ago, for a golf holiday." Gerry reminded her with a grin, he was clearly enjoying her discomfort and she had never wanted to hit him so much as she did right then.

"So we thought we would go up and ask him, see what he thought, the worst that could happen was he would say no and we would simply be right back where we started." Jack informed her and he at least had enough sense not to smile.

"But he said yes, so we are good to go" Brian exclaimed happily.

"You forgot to ask me" she yelled at them unable to contain her fury any longer. "Why didn't you talk to me about this first, before you went to talk to him? You didn't ask me?" she yelled at them. "Why the bloody hell did you talk to him before you came to me? I should have been the first one you spoke to about this." She demanded furious with them.

"We thought he would say no and there was no reason to talk to you about it if he didn't agree. But to our surprise he agreed." Gerry tried to explain, if he was trying to reduce her anger he was doing a terrible job.

"But what if I said no, you are supposed to talk this over with me first not him." She cried unable to contain her dismay at their actions.

"Why would you say no?" Brian asked confused.

"I don't…a whole week…him?" she shuddered trying to explain to them that she didn't want to spend the week at a golf resort with Robert Strickland. Yet even as she thought this she felt embarrassed and guilty.

"Sandra I know he can be…pompous and sometimes an arse and a tosser and a top bras jerk and he might have a stick-"

"Thank you Gerry" Jack cut him off much to Sandra's relief. "He might not be your first choice to go undercover with but he agreed to go with you and this is our best option. I am sure he will be completely professional." He reminded her trying to calm her and he managed to made her feel worse. Strickland had agreed even though he had to find all of this awkward as well.

"Take one for the team" Gerry begged her when she didn't respond to Jack's words.

"It's not like I have much choice since you kept me out of this and he already agreed." She said with a sigh.

"That's the spirit" Gerry replied quickly grinning again and she wanted to hit him even more now.

"When is this all going to happen?" she asked instead trying to stamp down on her emotions.

"Check in is at four tomorrow afternoon, same cover we talked about before Gerry messed up his ankle." Brian informed her and tomorrow suddenly felt too soon but she didn't say anything.

"You two will be a married couple on the verge of divorce, this place is your last chance. Which is the resort's specialty, they are all about romantic trips. This is the same reason the Bennett's are there." Gerry added telling her more information she already knew and she chose to just glare at him.

"You don't even have to get along with Strickland, you two are supposed to fight." Jack pointed out trying to help.

"Different types of fighting" she grumbled to herself.

"I got Strickland into Bennett's golf group, we can put a wire on him and anything Bennett says during those golf games we will hear. You two will be at the same table for dinner. All you have to do is get close to the wife—Anne." Brian explained, she didn't even want to know how he managed to get them in with the Bennett's.

"You make is sound so easy" she replied flatly. Being in a person's golf group was easy, getting people to open up was much harder.

"Concentrate on how good it will feel to put this bastard away for good" Gerry suggested.

"I hate all three of you right now" she huffed walking into her office and closing the door. She needed time to mentally prepare for the week ahead.

"I think that went fairly well" Jack said once she left.

"I expected her to yell a lot more" Gerry replied with a grin. "How long do you think she will make it before she tries to kill him?"

"Wednesday" Jack answered.

"Tuesday" Gerry countered.

"Fifty quid?" Jack asked.

"You're on" Gerry agreed shaking the man's hand while Brian just watched confused.
