Chapter 36: GI Vice, Part 1
"Two for one special today!" Hawk gleefully announced as he surveyed the Joes.
Snake Eyes groaned.
"What do y-" Roadblock began.
"COBRA's up to stuff in Miami. On the one hand, we've got the Commander and his usual buddies checking out a gator farm. On the other, we've got info that some of CC's goons are going off the books and started up their own drug cartel- they call it the Red Flag."
"And your point is?" Duke asked.
"We've got the manpower, so we're going to send two different teams in. Duke, Grunt, Gung Ho, and Recondo- you're on gator farm detail. Flint, Lady Jaye, Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Clutch, Ace, and Cover Girl- you're bringing down the Red Flag with our guy in the MPD. Any questions?"
Flint shot his hand up.
"How's my team g-"
"With utmost stealth. You guys are going undercover."
MIAMI:
"What's Courtney doing here again?" Lady Jaye asked as the Joes walked through a shopping center.
"Fashion consultant." Clutch answered.
"We need one?" Snake Eyes asked.
"Of course we do! I mean, if you want to take down a drug dealer undercover, you've got to dress the part!" came Cover Girl's response.
"Funny. In my experience, drug dealers didn't usually wear suits."
Scarlett's eyes wandered around the storefronts.
"Hey, Courtney? There's some stuff from that new Elmsford Collection- is that fashionable?"
Cover Girl nodded.
"Fine. I'll go along with this one." Lady Jaye moaned as she approached her two cohorts.
"So, what's it with you and fashion, Flint? I thought paratroopers only cared that their clothes were dry." Clutch asked.
"I'm from high society. You want to succeed in the upper crust, you better keep an ear to the ground."
"How'd an old money dandy like you get to throwing yourself out of airplanes then?" Snake Eyes snarked.
"Joined the Army to tick off my parents, that's how. Same story with Jaye."
