A/N: Thank you for the reviews. Strong language. Adult scenes. About Carlos Condit, when Carlos gets into fight mode I think he gets hotter for some reason. For the most part I'm making the training camps up with different "The Ultimate Fighter" fighters. I'm using some characters from the film "The Departed" Mainly the character "Billy Costigan" who was played by Leonardo Dicaprio for those who want an image of what Billy looks like.

"You can't look at me Frank...why not? You're like a Dad to me" Sullivan said. "You...you're too fucking paranoid Colly" Frank Costello said. His stomach bulged over his waist. Frank's goatee was spiking out and he'd worn the same clothes for two days straight. "I've busted my ass, to keep my side away from you. All the time you've been laughing at me behind my back while holding onto my dick" Sullivan pointed the gun at him. Frank shook his head. "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you!" Frank shouted. "Are you scared Frank? Sullivan asked. "You look scared..."

"Yes Sir, thank you Sir" Billy said. He put the phone down and banged it across the table. "Shit!" He yelled. This was bullshit. Why did everyone have to pay for Sullivan's mistakes? He'd find that bastard, but he'd have to lay low. He packed his things in a travel bag and left to go to his friend's place. It was five O'clock in the morning when Billy arrived. "Hey...I knew you'd be up" Billy said to Dominick. "Yeah, just watching TV" Dominick said. "So, you in trouble?" He asked. Billy could depend on Dominick with his life, but even Dom didn't know that he was working undercover. Dom thought his friend was a mouthy asshole who couldn't hold down a job. For all their sakes. Billy had to keep feeding his friends lies.

Same shit different story" Billy said. "Job hunting and shit, you wanna help me look around or what?" Bill I'm injured I've got my own stuff to deal with" Dominick said pointing at his leg. "Well I can just tag along with you like a loser" Billy said. "I'm gonna take your bed...night" Billy said as Dominick rested his leg on the sofa. "Mark, I can't take this" Miller said as Mark gave him a wad of dollar bills. "You've got kids" Miller said. "Jase an asshole's stolen your cards, just take the money, and pay me back when you can" Mark said. Carlos was training for UFC 154 and Miller didn't want to bother him with money problems. Carlos would just laugh in his face. Grudgingly Miller took Mark's cash. "When I get my cards back, I'm taking you out Marky, Mayhem style, I promise" Miller said.

Mark figured that his friend hadn't called the police, but he wasn't going to ask him about it, he didn't think his friend would tell him the whole truth. They trained together and didn't tell anyone else. Tommy knew, he'd seen Jim pull that trick on other guys and hoped that Miller wouldn't go running to the police. Two days later Tommy was at the gym and Miller was watching TV when he heard a knock on the door. "How you doing Jimmy-boy?" Miller said as Jim walked through the door. "You didn't call the local police. I'm impressed" Jim said walking in like he owned the place, he threw Miller's wallet on the table.

Miller crept towards his wallet picked it up and opened it. "Everything's in there, all the money too. We can go to the bank together if you don't believe me" Jim said. Miller shook his head. If there was one penny missing from his account, he imagined himself killing Jim, wrapping him up like a Jim-mummy and putting him in his parent's basement. It's about time his Dad lightened up. "I'll be in touch" Jim said smiling as he left. Miller did a little online banking now and again so he checked most of his cards online. Jim was right, he hadn't touched the ones Miller had checked. He called Mark and a couple of hours later Mark came over. "I'll get that money for you tomorrow" Miller said. "Jase I'm not here for the money, are you gonna tell me what happened?" Mark asked.

"You know...it's about the M-15 stuff" Miller said. "Jim's a little wild" "Taking your money's going too far don't you think?" Mark asked. "John told me to hold tight and keep quiet. It's sorted now" Miller said. "You wanna go out? My treat" Miller asked. He called Carlos to see if he wanted to go but as he expected Carlos was still in training. "I'm meeting Dan Hardy, Jake shields...that lot" Carlos said. "Nick's training camp, you're so brave" Miller said wishing that he could go to see Carlos, not Nick. "Have fun out" Carlos said ending the call. He was nervous tonight, this could all explode in his face. He and Miller weren't official, they hadn't gone or spoken properly since little Jase went into "Alpha action" Carlos saw himself as a single guy and he wasn't scared about taking risks in or out of the octagon.

He got to Nick's camp and trained with Dan Hardy to improve his striking. Carlos had beaten Dan Hardy before, but he couldn't deny the kid had hard punches that could knock anyone out. He sprawled with Jake Shields another black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and nearly got caught with a ankle-lock when Nick came through the door. He said hello to everyone and Carlos nodded, trying to seem friendly. Everyone knew that Carlos was going to stay away from Nick. When Roy Nelson showed up it was a relief for Carlos because they'd talked on the MMA Tour and Roy said that he'd train with him anytime. After Roy put him through his paces he walked up to Nick while Nick was getting a plastic cup of water.

"Hey" Carlos said. Nick looked up and shrugged at him. "Can I talk to you...in private?" Carlos asked. Nick sighed and told the guys to carry on without him. Carlos walked outside and Nick wondered why they didn't talk in the break-room. "Let's...get in the car it's freezing" Carlos said. Nick got in on Carlos's passenger seat and wondered how many times Miller had sat on the same seat and touched Carlos...or even worse made out with him while leaning on this chair. He needed Carlos to tell him quickly so he could get the fuck out of the car. "Nick I know you like to get straight to the point" Carlos said. "I just wanna tell you that...I know" Carlos said. Nick looked at him carefully. "What?" He asked. "I know, and it's okay. I mean it took me a while to piece things together but, now I know you're not really mad at me" Carlos said.

Nick opened the car window and spat him gum out. "Umm...Okay?" Nick asked. "Nick's it's okay...I figured it out and I know you like me" Carlos said leaning forward to kiss Nick. Nick opened the car door and got out. "Carlos you're fucking crazy" Nick said. "Wait, are you nervous or something?" Carlos asked. "What the fuck?" Nick asked turning back around to look at a confused Carlos. "The way you've been acting lately I thought you wanted this" Carlos said. He opened his door and got out. "We can always go back and talk it over in the break room with your friends outside" Carlos said. Nick got in the backseat of the car and told Carlos to stay at the front. "What the fuck was that about?" Nick asked. "You're doing that shit with Miller"

"No I'm not, things are uncertain between me and him, and you were giving me signs" Carlos said. "The fuck I was" Nick said. "How?" He asked. "You broke up with Louise, Jase told me. You came over to my place to tell me the Little Jase Alpha secret when you could have told me over the phone" Carlos explained. "Then the hand-shake at the bar. You were laying it on thick, being nicer than nice...I thought you were trying to show me...that you liked me" Carlos said. "Carlos that's the biggest bunch of bullshit, you know...you bug the shit out of me" Nick said. "I've got a girl you know, I'm not...do that shit with Mill" Nick said getting out of the car and slamming the door. Nick could use Carlos's mistake to his advantage, but h didn't want it to look like he was stirring the shit. Carlos was screwing up second by second. It sounded like Carlos was pushing Miller away without Nick's help.

Nick went back to his training camp and to his credit Carlos came back in and trained with Urijah Faber, Mike Brown Danny Downes, Chris Leben, and Andy Wang. Despite Carlos making the moves on him, Nick was the one acting shifty and he was more quiet than usual. His team-mates noticed but they didn't say anything. Nick got home and took a hot shower getting pissed at Carlos for getting the wrong idea. He was sure that he wasn't sending any signals out, Carlos was getting a hard on over nothing Nick had done or said for that matter. He came out of the shower to find a few missed calls from Jacqui. He called her and she wanted to know if he wanted to go out tonight. "Well...dunno" Nick said. "Come on, I'll make it worth your while" Jacqui said.

"Yeah whatever" Nick said as Jacqui told him to meet her at her place. He put on boxers and a T-shirt when his little brother knocked on the door and opened it. "You back with Louise?" He asked. It took Nick a second to realise that Nate had been trying to hear his phone call. "It's was Jacq" He said. "You still with her?" Nate asked. Nick nodded and Nate scowled. "Say it" Nick said. "Nothing" Nate said. Nick turned away from him to look for a zip up jacket. "This girl Jacq or whatever her name is...she's like...dirty, you know, she could have guys like everywhere and be banging them under your nose and shit" Nate said. "So could Cath to you" Nick said. His little brother shook his head.

"You know what I mean. Like you had a nice cute girl like Lou and dump her...for that thing " Nate said. "Jacq's like cheap looking you know. she think's she's it, like she's so cool and stuff and she ain't. Louise had her own place, she looked good, she was cool to you, and you leave her and get with a skank" Nate said. "You don't know Jacq" Nick said. "You would if you were cool and said shit when she comes here" Nick said putting a red jacket on. "You know I'm helping you out, just go back to Louise...say sorry move on you know" Nate said. Nick got a pair of jeans and pulled them up over his legs.

"Tell you what, I'll get with Lou when you talk to Mill" Nick said.

"What?" His little brother asked. "Where did that come from?"

"I didn't fuck up with Lou, I'm not the one that needs to go looking for anyone you know" Nick said.

"You think I fucked up? When I hit Miller?" Nate asked shocked. Nick shrugged, turned away and buttoned up his jeans.

"Don't shrug me off the way you shrug off everyone else" Nate said. Nick turned around to face little brother, but he looked at the wall. Nick couldn't look his little brother in the eye.

"Nate I'm done with Lou. Shit happens you know. You beat the the fuck out of Miller and you still walk around acting like you're the shit" Nick told him.

"If that pissed you off why didn't you say shit?" Nate asked suspiciously.

"I did" Nick said.

"Bullshit, you backed me up to Miller's face and now you're calling me out on it behind his back?" Nate asked. "What the fuck? This is asshole Miller we're talking about" Nate said.

"Whatever, see you tomorrow morning" Nick said as he put his keys in his pocket and went to the kitchen to get a couple of cereal bars for him and Jacqui. At training Mark and Miller's team where joined by Dominick Cruz and a friend of his. Dominick wasn't able to do much but his friend Billy was so funny, they all thought he was a professional comedian. "You know Dom I've always wanted to learn what you do, but I'm half retarded. I don't wanna get knocked the fuck out in the first fight, I'd be a fucking vegetable" Billy said. "Saw your Scott Smith fight" Billy said to Miller. "Maybe you can show me that takedown stuff without a mat" Billy "Or on a bed" Billy thought to himself.

Miller gently picked Billy up and took him down on the mat. "All that action Miller and you don't take me out for dinner first" Billy said tapping his arm. "What can I say Billy-boy, Dom will tell you...I'm easy" Miller said getting up. Miller could see the excitement in Billy's eyes and wondered if it was nerves. He wouldn't ask around to his place or ask him out for a drink without Dom there. Not after the Jim card games that had been pulled on him. Seeing as he was getting closer to Carlos the M-I5 game-plan would make him look like a cool heroic spy. Carlos would like that. Miller could imagine Carlos patting him on the back after Carlos had beaten Georges ST Pierre at UFC 154, Carlos timidly rubbing Miller's shoulders and inviting Miller back to his place. Miller was going to get Carlos back by the M-I5 method: By Any Means necessary.
