Given that the house they had now raided was under African American soil, they couldn't touch one part of it. As much as it pissed a lot of them off, including Emma- they had to vacate the premises.
"With those credentials, Chuck Manson could get off." a fellow officer told the blonde as they made their way out of the house. She aimed a gun right at a car that was parked in the driveway that hadn't been there when they first arrived.
Emma drew her gun as she walked up to the passenger side door, opening it slowly as she looked at the brunette sitting inside the vehicle, "Miss, could you step out of the car, please?"
The brunette, who seemed to be around Emma's age, stepped out as her briefcase fell to the floor.
Emma glanced at her fellow officers that had gathered outside now, "Put them away, it's okay." she told them, looking back at the woman in front of her, "I'm sorry."
Both women bent down to reach for the briefcase, their heads butting as they both chuckled.
"I'm sorry. Are you…?" asked the blonde, rubbing her own head.
The brunette nodded, her eyes never leaving Emma's green ones as a small smile was now visible on her lips. The blonde bent down to retrieve the briefcase for her.
"Don't open that." Samdi stood before the entryway, "That is a diplomatic case protected under Article 27 of the Vienna Convention."
Emma rolled her eyes as she looked back at the brunette, "Is he serious with this stuff?" she asked.
The brunette woman nodded, "Yes."
"These are police officers, Ms. Page." Samdi's eyes moved towards an angry Emma, "They were just leaving."
Everyone else made their way towards their vehicles, feeling pretty upset that they couldn't make an arrest today. Everyone but Regina, who's now jealous eyes didn't leave her girlfriend's sight and this new brunette in the picture.
"She is a consulate secretary. Give her back the briefcase." Samdi ordered Emma as she still held onto the briefcase.
"Give it to her." Regina told the blonde as she looked over at her, hoping Regina would have said not to do it. But, they both well knew they couldn't touch these people for miles on end.
Emma stared back into Lily's eyes as she handed back the briefcase, "Here. I'm sorry, Ms. Consulate Secretary."
Lily shook her head, a small smirk on her lips as she reached for the briefcase, "It's only papers-"
"Don't talk to them!" Samdi said in a firm tone of voice, snapping his fingers to get Lily's attention, "Come here."
As Lily moved away from the car, Emma closed the passenger door as she whispered over to her, "He's a nice guy. What's he paying you an hour? You should think about increasing your pay for better hours."
Lily's head turned as she kept her eyes on the blonde while she kept making her way towards Samdi who now closed the gate to his property as he stared at the blonde once again.
"I'd start getting used to that sort of view." Emma said, only for the man to smirk in victory as he was lost somewhere in side the house.
The blonde's knuckles turned white with anger as she tightened her firsts, walking away without another word.
Regina followed her close behind, deciding not to bring anything up about the Ms. Lily Page until the time was right. They had just lost a great opportunity- the last thing they needed was a fight over jealousy.
"It's the Triangle Trade all over again." Regina told Gold as she walked behind the man as he made his way through the building.
"The what?" asked Gold, looking behind at the two women as he walked on.
"The Triangle Trade. Didn't you ever do American History in school?" Emma asked him, "You know from the molasses to rum to slaves."
"Now it's drugs to dollars to Krugerrands." spoke the brunette.
"All I know is that there's a dead guy in the morgue who has a surfboard where his face used to be, and by morning the State Department's breathing down our throats. Now I'm going to have to make some kind of a formal apology to the South African Consulate."
"Apologize?" Emma ran her hands through her hair in frustration as Gold looked over at her, "That guy is a sack of shit! He's dirty, he's a crook."
"It doesn't matter if he's dirty. He's a diplomat. He has immunity. He's beyond the law. We can't touch him, arrest him, prosecute him. Is that clear? Does that spell it out for you?" his voiced raised at the blonde.
Leroy who had been standing behind the two women nodded over at Gold, "Yes, sir."
Gold's brows furrowed at the shorter man as he looked up at Regina now, "Who the hell is this?"
"Leroy Getz. Nice to meet you, sir." he pushed his way from behind the two women as he shook Gold's hand.
"Yes, yes, yes." Gold told him looking over at the two women, "You took a civilian on a bust. A civilian you're supposed to be protecting!"
Emma squinted her eyes in annoyance, "He's alive, isn't it?"
"It's okay. I signed a waiver." Leroy spoke up.
"Shut up, Leroy." Regina mumbled under her breath, as Emma closed her eyes, as he was talking way too much now.
"Besides, I usually wait in the car." Leroy informed Gold, a smile on his face.
"Usually?" Gold looked at Regina who looked away, "Usually?" he looked over at Emma who rolled her eyes.
Leroy nodded, "That's right and they're very adamant about that." he looked over at the blonde who grabbed him by the arm as both women walked away with him.
Gold walked away, mumbling something under his breath while he shook his head.
"These two are great cops! They're the best!" Leroy shouted over at Gold as he was still being dragged away by the blonde, followed by the brunette. He looked over at the two women as they came up to their office space, "Hey, what did he say?"
"I don't give a fuck." both women said in unison.
"That's his mantra." said the brunette as she looked over at everyone who was sitting on her desk, while they listened in on their conversation with Gold. "What is everyone doing sitting on my desk? Get up! Let's go!" she sat by her desk as Emma rolled her chair near her, followed by Leroy.
"We are in serious shit here with this guy." said the blonde, taking a pencil off of her girlfriend's desk as she twirled it between her fingers.
"I don't know. You seemed pretty smitten with the minister's secretary." Regina replied, her tone even more serious than before.
Emma looked at her partner in silence, "Wha- Ms. Page?"
Regina raised an eyebrow at the thought of Emma remembering the woman's name, "And, you remember her name?"
Emma chuckled, "I'm good with names." she shrugged, enjoying the sight of Regina's jealousy, which she had never witnessed before. "Are we really going to do this here?"
Regina glared at her girlfriend as she placed on her glasses and stood up from her desk without saying another word to the blonde.
Emma sighed as she tossed the pencil back on her desk.
"She's a feisty one, isn't she?" Leroy asked the blonde, who only pushed herself away from the brunette's desk with her foot as she rolled over to hers. The man shrugged as he spoke to himself, "They both are."
A car pulled over an apartment complex as three of Samdi's men exited the vehicle, followed by his right hand man as he opened the passenger door. Samdi stepped out followed by Lily as they had driven her to her apartment for the night.
"Thank you, Mr. Samdi." Lily said as she looked up at the man. She quickly made her way towards her apartment as Samdi followed close behind, while the others waited by the car.
"One moment, Ms. Page." he walked up to her as she stopped on her tracks, "I hope you understood what was happening here today."
"I'd rather not jump to any wrong conclusions, sir. Why don't you explain it to me?" asked Lily.
"The policies of our government are not popular here in America, as you well know. The police in this city is overrun with people who hate us. They have badges and guns. Our consulate, its staff and particularly myself will always be targets for their harassment."
Lily looked into the man's eyes, feeling as his hand caressed her cheek gently.
"Good night, Mr. Samdi." she said in a mere whisper, running up the stairs to her apartment.
Samdi smirked as he turned, walking up to his vehicle, his eyes on who Emma called Adolf, "Things are getting out of hand. We are suffering too many losses. We have to move the cash in one large shipment."
"We'll need something bigger than a suitcase, sir." replied Adolf as he held open the door for his boss.
"I'll worry about that. You worry about the police." replied Samdi, getting inside the car as his eyes met Adolf's, "Your warning did not work."
"Let's go Leroy!" Emma shouted as she ran in the rain towards the brunette's car as it was parked in front of a subway, carrying a bag of subs in hand.
"I'm coming, okay?" shouted Leroy as he ran his way towards the vehicle, getting inside the left back door.
Regina drove away, exiting the parking lot as soon as they were all inside and out of the rain.
Emma took out a sub from the bag, "Who ordered the super combo?" she asked.
"That's mine." spoke Regina, reaching for the sandwich.
"I got a steak sandwich." said Leroy, while the blonde handed it over to him.
"Who gets Leroy?" asked Emma, hoping Regina would be the one to watch him tonight, "You have this big house with only Henry to worry about. You have plenty of room. My place is too small. You take him."
"I had him last night." Regina argued.
Leroy spoke above the two arguing women, "Excuse me, excuse me, ladies!" he waved his sandwich around, "This is tuna. I hate tuna. I refuse to get stuck with tuna. Now, come on."
"Then, don't eat the tuna." replied Regina.
"Oh! Where were you? I just said that! I'm not eating the tuna, okay? Let's go back!" Leroy shouted.
Emma turned in her seat, looking back at the shorter man, as she held up his steak sandwich which she was already taking bites out of, "This is good."
Regina quickly looked over her shoulder at the man, "We're not going back. Now, shut up."
"Alright, don't go back. That's it." he leaned towards the front seats, "Can I give you two a friendly piece of advice? Never leave until you've checked your order is correct. They will screw you over and they know you won't turn around and go back. They'll make you drive miles over to them just to screw you over. They don't care. Who gets screwed over? Leroy Getz! Sure! So, I'm not eating this tuna!"
"Shut up!" Both women turned to look at the grumpy man, as they spoke in unison, having heard enough of his endless rambling.
Samdi was making his way out of a tennis court club as he made his way into his car, pulling out from the driveway as he stepped slowly on the gas. He suddenly stepped on the break as a yellow bug appeared right in front of him.
Emma turned her head to the left as she smiled sarcastically over at the man, shrugging at her action of blocking his exit, as she was stuck in a line of cars that were stopped at a red light. Samdi glared at the grinning blonde as she slowly drove away. Only to spot her once again as she stopped beside him at another red light. Only this time, Emma wasn't smiling. She just stared him down, as he rolled up his window, in hopes that she would stop. He knew she was just trying to get a rise out of him.
And, she did. For the man didn't even wait for the light to turn green, as he stepped on the gas hard, as his car speeded through honking cars, while he almost ran over two pedestrians. Causing two other cars to run into each other right after.
If only it had stopped there. Emma wasn't about to give up that easy in ruining this guy's day.
As Mr. Samdi pulled up to his building, honking his horn at a group of protestors, he glanced over at the same crazy blonde as she too held up a sign in protest. His stare turned deadly as Emma even bent over, looking him right in the eyes as she held onto her sign.
"Good morning, Mr. Samdi." a security guard greeted him as he made his way through the parking garage of his building.
"Get rid of that girl." he ordered him.
"Yes, sir." tires were heard screeching as the security guard stood in front of the crowd, as he looked right at Emma, "I'm sorry, you're going to have to leave the premises right now."
Emma held up her badge at him, as the guard simply stepped back, raising his hands in defense.
Lily came rushing into Mr. Samdi's office as she handed over some papers to him, "Here are the morning faxes, sir." she glanced down at his security cameras as he placed the papers on his desk, while he glared down at Emma as she was looking right at the camera, smiling and waving at him tauntingly.
Lily couldn't help but smile, suppressing in a laughter from escaping her a she glanced down at the blonde. Her smile soon disappeared as she looked over at her boss's hard glare he threw her way. She quickly walked out of his office, shutting doors as she smiled again.
Later that day, Emma parked her bug near her trailer as she made her way out of it, looking right at her dog as he was sitting outside, "Pongo, come here." she patted her leg as the dog ran right for her, "What's the matter? Did he kick you out of the house?" she bent down to pet her dalmatian, "I want you to bite Leroy for me." she walked up to her trailer as Pongo barked, wagging his tail as he stayed outside.
Leroy was grateful that he was able to stay with Emma for the day, so while she was gone he decided to tidy up the place more. There was nothing on the floor, nothing anywhere out of place. He had cleaned it all. Even the blonde's bed had been made. Not looking like her home at all, as the blonde walked in as she spotted the man vacuuming her carpet.
Pongo came in right after his master, as Emma looked around the place as she stood behind Leroy, "Hey, Leroy." she reached for the man's shoulder, speaking louder to be heard over the vacuum cleaner, "Leroy!"
Leroy jumped up as he backed up onto a wall.
"What are you doing?" she asked the man.
"What's it look like? I'm cleaning up this pigsty." Leroy replied.
"I like living the way I live." said Emma.
"When's the last time you cleaned the refrigerator? The pan under it?" he asked a now confused looking blonde.
"There's a pan under there?" Emma asked rather confused, her brows furrowed.
"Oh, please." Leroy rolled his eyes, "Come on."
Emma looked around, reaching for where her phone used to be as it was no longer there, "Her, where's my phone? Where the fuck is everything?" she walked up to the space where her television used to be, "Where's my TV?"
Leroy held up his hands, "Everything is outside."
"Just stop what you're doing." Emma walked outside as she was followed by Leroy.
"Get the dog out of here!" Leroy shouted.
Emma turned to look at the man, raising a finger in warning, "You go before him."
The phone kept ringing as Emma finally answered it as it had been sitting outside, right on top of the television stand, "Hello?" she spoke into it as she held it up to her ear.
"Swan, it's Collins." spoke a female officer, "Has Mills checked in with you today?"
"No, she hasn't. Why?" asked Emma.
"No one at the station has heard from her. She doesn't answer her phone either."
Emma's heart jumped to her throat, "I'll be right there." she hung up the phone as she ran back inside her home, "Leroy, forget the tidying up. We have to go- Regina might be in trouble."
Leroy dropped everything where he stood as he ran right behind the blonde, making his way inside her yellow bug as she speeded off.
Tires screeched as Emma stopped in front of the brunette's house. Her Mercedes parked out front, which meant she was still home. She made her way out, walking up to the sidewalk as she was followed by Leroy.
"Stay in the car." she told him, without success as the man kept on walking behind her. "Regina?" Emma called out as she stood in front of the door.
"I'm upstairs!" Regina yelled out.
"Should we call 911, Officer in distress?" asked Leroy, as Emma rolled her eyes, drawing out her gun as she busted down the brunette's door with one kick. She dropped down to one knee, taking cover against the wall as she aimed her weapon.
"I'll cover the back." said Leroy as he ran back out.
Emma stood up, seeing as no one else came out greeting her with shots being fired. "Where are you?" she asked, keeping her weapon on aim.
"I'm up here, in my bedroom!" shouted the brunette.
Emma quickly made her way upstairs, opening the door to Henry's room as she quickly peeked inside. She made her way down the hallway, her weapon aiming around every corner as she took cover, until she reached the brunette's room. "Gina?" she called out as the brunette was nowhere in sight.
"In here." Regina's voice was heard coming from her bathroom.
Emma peeked in, aiming her weapon as her eyes fell upon the brunette who was sitting on her toilet. Her eyes quickly scanned the bathroom as she looked back at her girlfriend, placing her weapon inside the holster.
"Good morning." she spoke softly, "What's going on, Gina?" the blonde asked, as she moved her way inside the bathroom, kneeling before the brunette.
"I was already leaving for work when I came back to use the bathroom, and I look over and see this…" she rolled her toilet paper roll as the blonde's eyes read a message that had been written on it.
BOOM YOU'RE DEAD!
Emma sighed with relief, placing her hand on her chest, "Oh Jesus. Is that all? You scared the shit out of me. I thought something worse had happened to you."
Regina's brows furrowed, "You don't call this worse?"
"How long have you been sitting in here?" asked Emma.
"I've been in here for almost five hours. My legs feel so numb already, I don't know if I'll be able to move." replied Regina.
Emma relaxed the brunette's hands as they were flapping around due to her nerves, "Just don't move."
"I can't." Regina assured her.
"Let me just have a quick look." Emma looked back up at her girlfriend as she was bending down, "Do you mind?"
"You've seen me naked." stated the brunette, as Emma only nodded.
"Good point." she sat back up quickly as she heard someone coming, only to glance up at Leroy who stood by the doorway, surprised as he rolled his eyes at the sight of the two women.
"Hey, whatever frisky thing you two have going on in the mornings-"
"Leroy, get out." Emma ordered him as he only held up his hands and left downstairs. Emma looked behind the toilet as there it was. Right in front of her. An explosive device had been placed there. A yellow and green cable were connected to it as a little red light blinked, giving the indication that the burnette so much as moved, it could go off.
"Please, tell me I'm wrong." spoke Regina.
Emma's face grew angry, she knew who was responsible for this, "He's fucked." she whispered to herself as she sat up, her eyes meeting her girlfriend's, "Well, I could tell you that, but I'd be lying." Emma stood to her feet, "You'll be okay, as long as you don't move."
Regina rolled her eyes, "Well, that's a relief."
"Just don't move. I'm gonna go get some help."
"Wait a minute!" shouted Regina as she made the blonde stop on her tracks as she looked at her, "You can't leave me like this."
"Regina, this is serious. We'll need to get the bomb squad in here." replied Emma.
The last thing she wanted or needed was for anyone at the station to find out about this humiliating situation she found herself in. She released a frustrated sigh as there was no much of a choice. She nodded, "Alright. Call them, but just try to keep this quiet, okay?"
Emma nodded, "Sure." she left out of the brunette's sight.
"Emma!" Regina shouted, as Emma came right back, "I mean it. Not a word to anyone else."
"Of course not." Emma assured her as she ran out of the room to call in a bomb squad. Only it didn't stop there. Before the brunette knew it, Emma had informed everyone at the station, as a fire truck was outside, followed by the whole police department, along with neighbors who were gathered around to see what the whole commotion was about.
