She couldn't sleep, being assigned a new target. She hated her job sometimes, all the alone time she spent with her thoughts wasn't good, the paperwork after was a bitch. Her twin sisters hated her job too. She was always gone and she couldn't call them like she would want too. Sitting up when her phone rang.

"Agent Garcia", she answered.

"Are you awake yet? Del Rio is sending his second in command to meet you. He wants to see if you're legit.", Baron said.

Baron Corbin was her partner, they joined the FBI at the same time, hit it off right away. He's been undercover for the past two years trying to catch Alberto Del Rio. The biggest mafia boss in Mexico, except he wasn't in Mexico anymore and he was handling money and drugs here in the states.

He was looking for someone who knew how to handle money and discreetly transfer it to banks around the world for him. That's where she came in.

"Yes, I'm up. Where?", she asked standing.

"I don't know, just be ready for when he calls", Baron said.

"Yes, I know the drill", she said, before hanging up.

She lifted her suitcase off the floor and onto her bed. Unzipping it and pulling out a few outfits and wigs. Opening her makeup bag that held different color contacts.

Making her way to the bathroom and turning on the shower, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her dark brown hair reaching the middle of her back, her dark brown eyes had dark circles around them. She was tired.

"Goodbye Max", she said to her reflection before getting in the shower.

Once done, she checked her wigs, picking the reddish burgundy color, shoulder length, straight with bangs. She packed on makeup and picked a red lip. Putting in green contacts.

"Hello Jade", she said to the unrecognizable person looking at her.

Grabbing the black crop top and dark blue jeans. Her phone rang.

"This is Jade", she answered.

"Jade McCoy, this is Ricardo Rodriguez, I work for Mr. Del Rio", he said.

"I know who you are, get to the point of why you called", she said.

Her attitude and looks are what made Del Rio take another look at her and considered her to work for him.

"I would like to set up another meeting under the approval of Mr. Del Rio. How about Corner Cafe on Lexington?", he said.

"Perfect, I love their coffee", she said, before hanging up.

She got dressed and grabbed her black heel boots and jacket. Looking in the mirror one final time.

"Don't get me killed Jade", she mumbled.

Grabbing her purse, she walked across the hall and knocked. The door opened and Baron smiled, Hunter behind him.

"Damn", Hunter said as she walked into the room.

"Yeah Yeah", she said.

He grabbed the keys and tossed them at her.

"Have to look the part, Bugatti, don't crash it", Hunter said.

Maxine rolled her eyes. Baron attached a button to her jacket.

"It's a microphone, waterproof", he said.

"Awesome", she said.

"Phone", Hunter said, holding out his hand.

She handed her personal phone over to him and he handed her a work phone.

"They'll check it", he said.

She nodded, knowing the drill.

"He should be there now, we'll be across the street in a van", Baron said.

"Isn't that going to look suspicious?", she asked.

"It's a pet grooming van and we won't be across the street, we'll be one street down", Hunter corrected.

"I don't feel good about letting her go alone", Baron said.

Baron was a sweet guy, but he wasn't a one woman man, especially with this job. Max also saw him as a brother.

"Be careful Max", he said.

"Always am", she said, before walking out.

She found the Bugatti and smiled, damn it was beautiful. She drove to the Cafe, seeing the grooming van turn the corner.


Getting to the Cafe, she walked in. Guys at a table started whispering and she knew it was about her. She took her phone out and texted Ricardo that she was here. This phone was a duplicate to hers. Same number, minus all the personal information. Stupid selfies of Jade on the beach and in bed, they made her do them just in case they wanted to check her phone.

"On my way"

He texted back.

"He's on his way", she mumbled so Baron and Hunter could hear.

Someone texted from a contact that said dad.

"Good afternoon sunshine, hope you'll make your way home some time soon"

She raised her brow.

"On my way"

"I hear you"

It was either Hunter or Baron. Fake contacts. She looked around at the people in the Cafe, stopping when she saw three cops looking at her car, facing the front again.

"Three blue, my car", she whispered.

"How's your car? Still making noise?"

She looked back out the window. The cops were coming in.

"No, got it fixed"

"Good, I want you safe"

The cops stopped behind her. She pulled her phone out.

"When I go home, mind going with me to take a look at my car? Just to be sure"

"Ok sweetheart"

Max noticed from the corner of her eye, one of the guys at the table stand and come towards her. His friends, cheering him on. She rolled her eyes and pretended to keep texting.

"Hi", he said confident.

She lifted her hand and waved her fingers at him. She didn't like Jade's rude personality, but if Del Rio or Ricardo were watching, she needed to be a bitch.

"My name's", she stopped him by lifting a finger.

She looked at him and removed her glasses to reveal her green eyes. She looked him up and down, before meeting his eyes.

"I don't care what your name is, and to answer your next question. No, I don't have a man and no, I'm not looking for one. No, I'm not a slut, I work for what I have, and yes, that is my Bugatti. Now, walk away before you look like a total loser", she said.

The guy looked scared and turned, walking away. She put her glasses back on and continued on her phone. The guy's friends laughed and teased him, she felt bad but had to do it. She was next and stepped towards the counter.

"Hello, what can I get for you?", the kid asked.

"Let me get a banana nut muffin and a coffee, half a cup of milk and two spoons of sugar", she ordered.

The kid nodded.

"Fifteen dollars and twenty five cents", the teenager behind the cash register said.

She was going for her credit card when someone stepped beside her and placed a twenty. She looked at him and removed her glasses, another guy trying to win her over. She thought it was one of the guys at the table but it wasn't.

"Its on me", he said.

"I don't need you to buy my order, I can pay for it myself", she said, before pulling out her card.

"I insist", he said, shoving the twenty at the kid.

The kid looked between them before shrugging and using the twenty.

"Ok, look officer", she looked at his tag.

He smiled.

"Reigns, I don't need you to pay for my drinks. I am more than capable of paying for it. Here, I don't owe you a date", she said, handing him money.

He raised a brow.

"I wasn't trying to get a date, you don't owe me anything. I saw that guy bother you and I thought, why not do something nice and buy you your order", he said.

"I'm not some damsel in distress, I don't need saving. I deal with assholes like that every day", she said.

"I can see that", he said.

She rolled her eyes and stuffed the twenty he returned into his pocket.

"Whatever", she said, walking away with her food and drink.

She sat at a table by the door. Ricardo walked in and smirked.

"You turned down my guy", he said, sitting across from her.

She bit her muffin.

"Which one? The guy at the table or the cop?", she asked.

Ricardo turned to see the three cops ordering before looking back at her.

"The guy at the table", he said.

"I was about to decline your offer if you said you had cops on your side. I hate cops", she said, crossing her arms over her chest and glaring at the three men.

Ricardo laughed.

"I do too. I can't believe he tried buying you coffee", he said.

"Tell me about it", she said, rolling her eyes.

"I see why Mr. Del Rio liked you. Congratulations, you are officially working with Del Rio, well not with, for", he corrected.

She smiled and shook his hand.

"I can't wait", she said.

The cops sat at a table across.

"I think we should move this meeting, I don't trust this place when cops are around", she whispered.

"Same here, I'll text you when you can drop by the mansion to start your job. Have a good day Miss Jade", he said standing.

She smiled and stood, shaking his hand.

"I look forward to working with you", she said and watched him walk out.

She sat back down and finished her coffee and muffin. Officer Reigns sat across from her.

"What?", she snapped at him.

"I wanted to apologize if I offended you, it wasn't my intention.", he said.

She swallowed and nodded. She could see Ricardo's men watching them.

"Its fine, please leave me alone", she said.

She tried to make her body language look like she was uncomfortable with the cop. He nodded and left. She sighed and before grabbing her purse and keys, throwing her trash out and walking out. The cops still at the table and watching her.
