Clay and the rest of the team were at their local bar with their wives and girlfriends. Today was is a special day, after months where they thought they were hiding a relationship well, Jason and Mandy come out that they were dating. When Jason and Many announced to everyone, the response was laughter and the announcement that Bravo had " known for months." Jason and Mandy both blushed. Clay's girlfriend, Emma Hayes, Jason's daughter smiled at her dad and said," dad Mikey and I are happy for you. Mom would be too, you deserve to be happy." Emma and Jason hug, then Emma surprises Mandy by hugging her. she whispers in her ear," thank you for making my dad happy again, and thank you for watching out for him when you guys are spun up." Mandy gives her a big hug back, they break apart and then said," all right Blondie, you are getting the next round for us." looking at Clay and everyone laughs at Clay's fake mad face. He heads over to the bar after giving a big kiss to Emma just to bug Sonny. He is standing at the bar when a woman walks up to him. "Hi, remember me?"

Clay looks over at her and said," yea you were at the Ambassador's funeral. Rebecca right?" she replies" Yeah, I was in town and I was wondering if maybe you would like to go out on a date with me?" Clay looks at her and thinks 'yeah she is not bad looking but he has a more beautiful girl waiting for him at the table'. Before he can answer her, the bartender comes over and ask," another round Clay?" Clay looks at him and said," yep Matt, and can I also get 4 shots of Jack Daniels?" Matt nods his head and goes to get the group order. Clay looks over at the table and smiles when he sees all the girls of the group talking, smiling, and laughing. While the guys start a game of pool. He thinks that his life can't get much better than this. Clay forgets that he was talking to Rebecca cough and gets his attention again. Clay asks," what did you say?" she replies, " would you like to go out with me on a date while I'm in town?" Clay looks at her and said," thanks but I've got a girlfriend and we are happy together." Matt returns with all the drinks and Clay pays for them, then leaves Rebecca at the bar. Rebecca watches Clay goes over to the group, he hands out the beers and shots to the group. Clay then kisses a woman, no Rebecca shacks her hand and thinks 'kisses a girl. She has got to be what 18?'. They all start to joke around with each other. This pisses off Rebecca. She gets the bartender's attention and asks for Martini. She has to think of a way to break Clay and that girl up so she can have him. With Clay on her arm, she can further her career.

Rebecca looks up and sees a man looking at the group with hatred in his eyes, she looks at him and said," Hi I'm Rebecca and I think we can help each other". The man looks at her and said, "hi call me Vic. and how is that?" Rebecca smiles at him and said, "not here, there are too many ears. Meet me at this address tomorrow morning." She then hands him a card with the address of the hotel she is staying at. On the back has her room number and with the time 10:00 am. He smiles at her then finishes his beer and leaves without saying anything else to her. Rebecca then looks at him walking out the door, then looks over at the group. They are still laughing and having a good time. she smiles an evil little smile then finishes her drink. She then starts to walk out of the bar and whisper to herself, "soon Clay you will be mine and away from these low-lives." With that, she was gone. The group didn't know what kind of trouble was coming their way.
