It is Friday morning and Jen has been up for about twenty minutes she has just gotten dressed after having her shower when there is a knock on the door, she goes to answer it.

"Oh god not you." She replies when she sees Byrnes at the door he makes his way inside shutting the door before talking to her again

"Finish getting ready, you're coming with me."

"What about breakfast."

"Already have it in the car for you." She shakes her head and goes off to finish getting ready, getting some shoes on as well.

An hour later they arrive at the SIS location.

"So what am I doing here?"

"You received some flowers from Nick correct?"

"Yes I did, he's back under cover was Wesley Claybourne again isn't he?"

"Yes"

"So why the hell did he go under without me?" she says crossly to him

"Read all this it will tell you everything, you in the field in two days' time. Oh and by the way, a hairdresser will be here later to add extensions to your hair, we want you to have longer hair."

"Byrnes don't walk away from me. Why the hell wasn't I told what the hell was going on before now? If Nick is under cover as Wesley Claybourne I had a right to know as the other half of that duo, plus he's my partner. Why did it take Nick sending me flowers to find out where the hell he was."

"It was for your own safety, but also we wanted to make sure we could get the contact to agree to using Claybourne shipping, and after last time I thought it was best to leave you out of it for now. Now go get reading you've got a lot to catch up on. Your joining Nick on Sunday morning." He replies and walks away, Jen shakes her head.

"Byrnes, I prefer not to be doing this. Last time I was shot at, and the first time was hell how can you make sure we don't go through hell again?"

"What we are hoping for is that you both run the company you get friendly with the contact became friends and maybe he lets slip some things, this time around you should be safer I have a number of SIS trained and other trained personal are going to be around. Everything you need to know is in those files."

For Christ sakes the damn SIS have no respect for others with real lives, now I have all this to learn before Sunday and hair extensions, I hate long hair, I prefer short hair, maybe I can get the person to have it just below shoulder length it won't be too long that way.

The next two days are busy for Jen, learning everything that Nick had to learn and more, she has to get up to date on what has been happening while she has been away. As she is reading the info she relaxes some about what is involved, they don't have to do as much snooping around for information, they mainly there to look pretty. Ok I think I can do this, with Nick by my side I should be able too, this is different to last time well sort of, Oh who the hell am I kidding. She thinks to herself.

For Nick his Friday night is spent at the club with Pete, enjoying the view of the young woman dancing and chatting away with Pete, about all sorts of different things. Pete was extremely pleased to hear that Trish was returning on Sunday. It was another late night for Wesley arriving home at 3am on Saturday morning, he heads off to bed to sleep.

Sunday morning Wesley is woken by the doorbell going, he gets up and goes and answers it.

"Jimmy what you doing here?"

"I thought I would let you know I will accept the job offer, I be at work at 9am tomorrow, but right now I'm off to bed."

"What you're not been to bed yet?"

"Hell no, it was a rocking night last night at the club."

"Remember Jimmy, you can't be up all night during the week?"

"I know boss only Friday and Saturdays can I do all nighties unless we have a shipment due in." He replies as he walks off, leaving Wesley shaking his head as he closes the door. He looks at the time noticing he has an hour to have a shower, dress breakfast then go get the other half of himself, this makes him smile.

Two hours later he is waiting at the airport for Jen/Trish. He was told this was to be the pick-up point for her, to make it look more real if he was followed or not. The flight from Sydney had landed ten minutes ago and he was waiting patiently for her to get off the plane and get her luggage, but for him it was more personal than that it was Jen the love of his life the one person how he wants a future with, to marry have children and now this damn SIS cover is prolonging it yet again. But he either does as he is told or be in prison for real.

Jen walks out to the area where her bag will be, and Nick too. They both spot each other at the same time, they look each other in the eyes, as the agents that are guarding them watch they can tell there is more to these two or they can damn well act extremely well. Trish collects her bag and walks up to Wesley, they hug then kiss, a long lingering kiss on the lips.

"I missed you." he whispers in her ear as they hug again. She says nothing they pull apart and he sees a few tears falling down, he brushes them away, then gives her another kiss on the lips.

"Let's get going." He says taking her bag in one hand and wrapping his other arm around her waist, she puts her arm around his waist and leans into his side.

Once in the car, Jen finally finds her voice. She is in shock that they have a nice car to drive.

"I was so worried." She gets out.

"Hey no need to be worried." He says then leans closer to her, before whispering something into her ear, which makes her smile.

"So did you like the flowers?"

"Yes I did thank you." The rest of the trip back to the house is in silence both enjoying being in each other's company that talking wasn't needed.

Once they reach the house and walk inside Jen can't help herself.

"You managered to keep it pretty clean and tidy I see."

"Ha ha thanks for your vote of confidence my dear." He replies back to her.

"I got you your milk yesterday it's in the fridge with your other stuff, I'll just go put your bag in the room." He replies to her as he walks off, she walks around the home looking at everything. Taking note of where things are, she then heads to the bedroom where she finds Nick unpacking her bag.

"Hey you don't need to do that."

"It's the least I can do how have you been apart from worried?"

"Oh been enjoying listening to stories told by Lucy Brown she has some interesting things to say about you."

"Really." He replies as he walks over towards where she is standing and wraps his arms around her waist, hers going around his neck.

"We have a bigger bed this time." She smiles at his remark and shakes her head.

"Look you've read the Intel, but we going to have to up it a notch with how we act with each other."

"In what way?"

"I noticed that Pete prefers being with couples who show their affection for each other. In his club all the couples he has had around him, regardless if married or not show a lot of affection to each other, are you going to be able to handle that, because I don't want him getting suspious of us." He says to her quietly

"Yea I can handle that not like we not done it all before."

"Also one other thing I seem to get visitors a lot here at the house so we going to have to stick to Trish and Wesley no real names." Jen takes a deep breath.

"How dangerous is this?"

"Well I have a weapon, yours is in the safe. We are mainly just overseaing the business and socialising with Pete on Friday and Saturday nights at the Club unless he decides to throw a party elsewhere. So far it's been nothing like we use to have to do last time."

"So far honey things have been fine, work during the week relaxing on the weekends. But don't worry McAllister is not part of this op, Byrnes is running it all." Jen just buries herself in to his embrace, breathing in his scent, and enjoying being in his arms again.

"I know I read about it all" she mumbles into his chest, be places a kiss on the top of her head.

"The only down side is I have no idea how long we are under for."

"So our life goes on hold yet again, are we ever not undercover." She says to him before they kiss again.

"Are you going to be ok, can you handle this?"

"I think I can, at least we can be armed and your here."

"And so far I've seen no need for me to wear my weapon. I know last time wasn't easy for either of us, both times around but if we just go with being husband and wife, and not who we really are we will be fine."

During the first week of having Jen in the house the SIS team witness a number of personal moments between the pair as they played out husband and wife, they never saw any action between the sheets, if anyone was watching or peeking they would see they were any normal couple that enjoyed each other's company.

The next few weeks go by quickly, they both enjoy their nights out in the club, relaxing and letting their hair down and she was starting to like having long hair and she was also starting to be less stressed over being under cover again.

Pete then comes to them with an offer, he wants to put his own guys on the ship that brings his stuff into the country, and of course Wesley is a little unsure about this.

"Pete I'm not too sure I like to have crews who know what they doing out there, your men have they ever worked on ships, navigated through some of the reefs and channels, now anything about ports, weather and how to use the radios and other equipment on the boats."

"No not really but I would like to place my own men on the boat, think about it would you.?"

"Sure I'll think about it talk it over with Trish and see what she says."

"And were she right now?"

"Like any good looking woman off clothes shopping running up the credit card some more."

"You two seem like soul mates when you are together."

"We think the same, when apart it's not easy but when together we struggle to keep our hands to ourselves, but somehow when in this office we seem to stay professional enough."

"Oh I bet I wonder how many times you've used this desk for more than paperwork." Wesley chuckles at this remark and leans back in his chair.

"Yea I thought that was the case. But must say mate you've got excellent choice in woman, brains and beauty, and she knows just how much to use of what and when."

"Well that is Trish, and she's always been like that unless you cross her and I recommend you never do that one."

"Yes I heard from Jimmy about what she can be like."

"Are did he tell about what she did the other day?"

"Oh yes he did."

"Well he better not be giving away my trade secrets I hope."

"Nar he was just telling me I better be careful not to cross her or I might find I'm looking for a new shipping company."

"Well that is what I'm here for to make sure that doesn't happen."

"And how do you plan to do that she seems to wear the pants by the looks of things."

"With hold one thing from her and it does not take long to get her back on side with me."

"Oh you don't do you"

"Oh yes I do, I take the credit card off her, she hates that." Pete just shakes his head and laughs

"Woman." Pete says.

"I'll talk to Trish see what she thinks but we might have to run a short course for the guys you want to place on board to make sure they understand all about boats, and the area we sail, I would hate for something to happen to your men and my crew, the last thing I need is the police on my doorstep again. Once is enough thank you very much."

"No problem Wesley get back to me when you're ready."

"I will." Pete gets up and leaves Wesley office.

The whole conversation having been over heard by Byrnes who is starting to wonder if there is more to these two, personally wise. He's never seen a couple be so relaxed with each other and show their affection for each other so easily. He starts to wonder if this is why Nick got upset that Jen had not been told at the start about all this, he was worried about her the whole time. Maybe they have been having a personal relationship before this. He had seen the photos of her coming and going from his house.

Two weeks later Pete's men are now on the boat that brings in his shipments. Nick and Jen have no idea what his men are doing when out on the boat, but that is ok as the SIS have the boat fitted out with the gear it needs to be able to listen in and record what is needed, plus they have their own men in place as well.
