"What was that all about?"
"She wants to visit."
"And the issue is?" Alex pushed.
"She said she didn't want you to be here when they arrive." I admitted.
"Right well, I can go out." Alex said stiffly. I knew this was hurting her a little.
"No. You aren't the invisible woman this time Alex, you are too important, more important than my family are to me."
"That's not true, what about cal?" She smiled softly.
"Fine you and Cal are the most important people in my life. That reminds me he wants to visit too, he wants to meet you." Alex's eyes widened slightly as if scared by the idea.
"Pipes, I don't know if I am ready for all this."
"What do you mean?"
"Meeting your family, your parents. I'm not the person I want to be yet, I can't be until Kubra is out of my life, I need to sort that out before anything else."
"Okay, you are right, we will sort that tomorrow."
We got a call bright and early from Wilson, she said she and a few other officers were coming to the house, I told Alex who nodded then retreated to the bathroom.
It was 15 minutes later and she still didn't come out.
"Alex?" I knocked gently on the door, she didn't answer so I tried the door, it was open. Alex was sat on the toilet seat with her head in her hands. She looked up as she heard me enter and held her arms out.
I made my way to her and sat in her lap.
"What's wrong?"
"I just want this all to be over. I'm sick of this life Pipes, I want to start a new one but my past keeps coming back and biting me in the ass."
"It will be over soon, I promise."
"You can't promise that Pipes, you know there is a possibility that I will be running from this for the rest of my life." I sighed, she was right.
"If that's what we need to do then so be it."
"Piper, I already stole your life once, I won't steal your future. You deserve to have a nice future, get married, have kids, I can't give you that. You know the cops are gonna say it's impossible for me to go undercover and even if they say I can, something is bond to fuck up, everything in my life is fucked up, except you so please get out while you can."
(Alex's POV)
"If you are asking me to leave you, I won't do it. I don't think you understand how I feel about you if you think I would even for a second consider living without you. Now stop moping around, let's go face this."
Piper was brushing this off lightly, I hoped she thought about our future realistically and what all of this could mean. She got up and pulled me up after her. We walked hand and hand into the kitchen area, a knock at the door came shortly after. Great, I get to watch some other woman stare at my woman for another hour of my life.
"Be nice." Piper smiled at me as if reading my thoughts.
"I'm always nice." I smirked.
"What was that all about?"
"She wants to visit."
"And the issue is?" Alex pushed.
"She said she didn't want you to be here when they arrive." I admitted.
"Right well, I can go out." Alex said stiffly. I knew this was hurting her a little.

"Be nice." Piper smiled at me as if reading my thoughts.
"I'm always nice." I smirked. I spent a lot of time glaring at Wilson and not paying attention to all the complicated stuff, I knew Piper would be making a mental note of every single thing they said.
"Basically Vause when he contacts you, agree to everything and then call us with details. We will set you up with trackers and voice recorders, we will sort the whole thing with airport security so you just need to go to wherever it is and talk to the client."
"Will I need to wear them as well?" Piper butted in, Wilson looked shocked.
"We weren't aware you were part of this."
"Of course I am, I will be going with Alex."
"I really don't think..." Wilson began.
"Save it officer, I have tried everything she won't change her mind." I butted in, she looked annoyed but nodded anyway.
"Okay, just wait for the call and call us when you know anything."
The cops left leaving Piper and I alone again.
"What are you thinking Alex?"
"I can't wait for this to be over."
"Me too. It will be soon."
I only had to wait a couple of days for the call from Kubra. He knew people had been to the flat but I just said it was my check ups and talked about them being suspicious. He wasn't pleased but seemed to trust me. He told me I had to leave in exactly a month to go to Rio. Apparently I would stay there for 2 weeks which would give me plenty of free time with Piper.
She managed to get it off work although she would have to do some whilst we were away which I assumed would be quite a good distraction for her. We now only had days left before we had to go. I had never been so nervous for something in my life. This would decide if Kubra was going down or if I had put Piper in more danger than ever before.
