Author's Note: This is the fourth in a series about Lady Jaye that started with "The Mission." I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1

"Phoenix Industries requests the honour of your presence at a charity gala event…" Duke read to his teammates in his office. "We have orders to send representatives since we are still watching this former Cobra organization. So, I hope you are up for an evening hob knobbing in a Scottish castle."

He looked around at his fellow Joes. "Basically, it's a babysitting detail, just making sure that Phoenix doesn't 'rise up' as Cobra in disguise. I know they have been under surveillance by the UN, but this has also been shoved on us as well."

"Flint and Scarlett will head up a team of Joes that won't embarrass us in a social setting! Not only are we to keep an eye on Phoenix members, but top brass from countries around the world will be there, as well as political leaders and don't get me started on the private sector…."

Flint and Scarlett exchanged a glance. "Maybe we should look down a list," she murmured to the warrant officer. "At this point, I'm not sure who we could take!"

Flint smiled, an unusual look for the warrant officer as of late. He would get to see Lady Jaye and hopefully this time, be able to take her aside and talk to her in private. He needed to see who she was. He had caught glimpses at the meeting but still felt, in his gut, that she was playing a role. He just hoped it wouldn't become permanent.
