The big bang

It was only 6 am in the morning, and Danny found himself on his back in bed with Rosie lay on top of him, her weight on him left good last night had been their date night. They had gone to dinner followed by ice cream. She had let him take a bit from her chocolate chip choco Irish cream ice cream and she had stolen a bit from his scoop too. It was just like they were kids but he was on a date with her, no other friends for the buffer to keep her at arm's length. He still had fears of losing her even if it was ridiculed to others like Mike and Sam ears. It was the way he groomed himself, he smiles reached his eyes more too.

She had taken control of they love to make last night it was not the first time he let her be in control and he was surprised that he had every much enjoyed it more than he thought he would have, he did not mind take another trip down that road again. Rosie was an exceptional lover, then again he did not expect anything less from her. It started with a little show she gave him. Slowly building him up and by doing the Full Monty, a slow strip, and tease, then she proceeded to slowly remove his garments.

She had tied him up, which was new for him, he never been tied up like that, she had taken her time with him teasing him keep him on the edge driving him crazy until he begged. They been together for little over a week and he was every much enjoying himself, even Ed and Mike had commented on how to relax he had seemed, he was genuinely happy and it showed, but either one of them had shared their little news with others yet, he was so afraid she would be lost to him if anyone found out what she really means to him. Some part of his brain he knew that it stupid and irrational but he still held onto the fear.

"um… morning" He said, nuzzling his nose into her crock of her neck. She hid her smile in his thick brown locks all while one of her hand was tangled in his hair. He loved it when she played with his locks while they made love.

"morning" she muttered into his hair. Before she could pull away he flipped them both so he was on top. He smiled down at her before kissing her, his hand travel up and down her body bring her body heat up. They make love and he even leaves a bit mark or two on her back of her neck just has she had done last night to him. he had a nice hickey on his left shoulder. He would not be taking his shirt off anytime soon in public, he just has to keep his shirt on during one on one with Mike on the basketball court.

Finally get out of bed to start they day Rosie has the day off, her commanding officer had made her take a week off from her local duties with SWAT and she had planned on soaked up some rays by the pool at the Montecito, she could get some personal work done. Sam's most important client and they Kids were here all on the same weekend because of some private concert that she had put together for the kids just so their parents could gamble inside while the kids are having fun poolside.

It was a big day too for Montecito they were reopening the pool for the season. They take Danny car and they both head to the pool area. Mary and Sam were there, even Mike was helping. Right on 8 the pool was open for the season Mike said "In the gladness of spring time when the leaves were green, oh merely the barrel sings, I sort I made the tango she loves my eyes never seen such beauty"

Sam laugh and Mike is in heaven and it enjoys the season open with beautiful women everywhere. Danny and Rosie find Mary she said "I can't believe that I told Sam I would do this. When we were kids we always made it for opening of pool"

Danny said "that because we always snuck in for the open day of the pool"

Rosie said "remember freshman year, Gary was so smashed you and Luis had to carry him back home"

Danny said "dad thought he had alcohol poisoning"

Mary said "who would have thought that I grow up to be one to keep people like us out"

They head inside to the floor and of course Danny been Danny he was of talk to a group of girls from out of town. It did not bother Rosie one-bit truth is he been like that after his return from his tour and she know why, she knows about his close call over there in the Stan, speak of Stan that was one thing she worried most about, the war over there was awful, dead body be coming home if they lucky most family only got the dog tags back without body to go along with them because they loved one was blown up and anything but blood and internal organs turn into soup. She worried that Danny or herself would be call back to active duty.

Danny and Ed walked up to where she was standing watching a man walking around, the man stands out in a crowd, he six feet tall, wearing a black shirt, blue jeans with combat boots and he was bold white male she knows the guy but can't place where she knows him from.

Danny said "we open up the pools even the bad guys take a week off to soak up rays"

Ed said "well don't worry they be back in one week all tanned and rested ready to go"

Rosie said "that case every year right?"

Danny said "that right"

Delinda was in little bit of pickle her guest chef had pulled out at the last minute and now Delinda tries to convince chef Gunther to take over a cooking demonstration. The man does not make it easy he keeps going on about how his has an elephant memory. Gunther is upset that Delinda did not ask him first because Gunther is Vegas top chef.

There, not much for Rosie to do until Rollins, Mc and Taylor arrived to join her on their week of, Sam came over, to take a breather the rush. Sam said "you look worried" read over her shoulder at the article that is reading, Words like C4 explosives, stolen, no leads stood out.

Rosie said "Military grade C4 goes miss, 2 sticks, they got on leads, screams inside job, which mean they plan on use it and soon, the mining company is 40 miles from Vegas, casino got lots of money and top it off this weekend the rich of rich are here, yeah I am worried a little about that but mostly about the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, it only matters time before they start to recall the reserves back to active duty"

Sam asked, "you worried about Danny?"

Rosie said "yeah, his unit just got done with their reverses training, which means has far had the high up are concerned Danny and his team are ready to be roll out, plus the last time I was given leave I was deployed with a month for year half tour"

Sam cell ring and she were had to go so something or another poor girl would be on her feet all day and night. Rosie loves to do laps seen her in the pool Danny head over to that way he runs into Mary.

Mary said "this rich kid, so bratty"

Danny said "So another then babysitting how is it going" they walk over to where Rosie is lay on one of the pool chair with a tablet in her hands she was reading.

Mary said "five pool recuses, three people secondly degree burns and one beached Whale"

Rosie was in her red bikini her hair loss folded around her neck cover her hickey, the one he had given her that morning on the back of her neck. "beached Whale?" she asked.

Mary said "yeah one of Sam 300 pound high rollers, hit back six my ties, nude up and the body surfed the wave pool, Doctor Falbo is examining his duffel fin"

They laughed and Mary asked "yeah Rosie do you remember when we saw Duran, Duran at the hard rock"

Rosie said "95, tell ya truth I can't remember much about how we got in, I remember the three my tie I hit back before bright idea of sticking into the concert would be fun hit me"

Danny said "security grabbed us right after we jumped that second gate, we would have been kicking out if Mary didn't convince them that bob was her father"

Mary said "finally made it just has their start singing trio, the two of you made out through the hold song you remember that"

Rosie said "I blame you, Mary, you were the one who dares me to drink three in row"

Mary laughed say "you may have been tipsy that night Rosie but you were far from drunk"

Rosie smiled "I remember; you egg us on"

Danny said "horny"

Rosie whisper to Mary "nothing changed" the two fall in a fit of giggles.

Danny said "can't remember what was more fun, the concert, the sticking in or make out"

Rosie said, "all of the above, now don't you two have work do?"

Danny and Mary's laugh say "we going, we going" he kisses the girl's cheeks and walked off.

Danny grabs a cup of coffee before head up to surveillance room to find Mitch watch the screen closely. He called out "Yeah Mitch"

"Yeah Danny, I want to show something," he tells the Glen "can you bring up 34 on P9 for me"

Glen said "sure Mitch"

What Danny sees on screen is Ed at the table, Mitch asked "can you zoom in on that"

Glen zoom in, and when Mitch asked what is he doing, Danny reply "hit soft seventeen against five, I am head down to closer look"

Danny said "Nessa, how is going? "

Nessa said "Danny, I found Mr. Havel he on a run"

Danny said "nice" he smiled

Nessa said "while you are upstairs can you check on a Natalie Lapoint for me, Jerry Spires want to talk to her"

Danny said "of cause, congratulations Mr. Havel"

Ed said "thank you, oh son, there show over at umm Rio, it called I don't know if I am saying this right, share La Fame, I need couple of tickets if you get a minute, I hear these girls have bra full of talent" it only for split second that Danny show Ed that he understood what he was saying to him by giving Jerry a side glance before both Danny and Ed laughed at the joke of girls and bra.

Danny run into Mike, they both walking back to the surveillance room talking "why wouldn't Ed have this guy kick out" he asked Danny.

Danny said "my best guess is that Ed doesn't know what going on, when I was down there, he said get time ticket to Share La Fame"

Mike said "there no such show"

Danny said "Share La Fame, means find the girl"

When they walking to the security room Danny asked: "Mitch what the setters on Natalie?"

Mitch said "no answer at home or cell, considering where she lives, she mostly likely got suckered behind that traffic accident on 5th"

Dany said, "keep trying, and run a check on this Jerry Spires?"

Mike said, "you want me to let Luis or Rosie on this?"

Danny said "not until we know what this is, put 43 on all surrounding cameras"

Mitch said, "what we look for?"

Danny said "I have no idea, all right, let get some plan cloths guys and isolate this table"

Mitch said, "who is that?"

Danny said "that Delinda"

The hold security team help holds their breath has they watch helplessly has an everyone watched an upset Delinda walk up to Ed at the table, anything could happen, they guy could have a gun or some kind of weapon he would pull out attack Nessa or even Delinda. When Delinda walked away you could hear every breathing again in relief that no one got hurt or killed.

Mike said, "what is Ed doing?"

Danny said "he pissing off the guy"

Mike said, "why?"

Danny said "to try and tip the guys hand"

Mike said "Ed is good at that"

Danny and Mike see something that was strapped to Jerry, Mike said "queue the timeline, setback at ten frames a second"

Danny said "C4"

Mike said "about a noun, just enough to kill everyone at the table"

Danny said "if it is Real, the only way we going to know is if swab the guy for explosive residue"

Mike asked "how are we going to do that"

Danny said "you see that he slapped his hands Ed know, his hots too, okay Mike he going need an extra napkin with his drink"

Mike said "I get one of our waitresses to take one to him" Mike run out of the room,

Danny said "son of a bitch, okay until we know what going on I want a 30-foot perimeter about that table with our people I don't want any guess anywhere near that table. Mitch get metro on the phone for me and post security at all of the entries, inform all the parking attends, I don't want Natalie to hit the floor"

Mitch said "Metro online"

Danny said "Luis this Danny listen We got a problem a series problem"

They watched has Ed get his drink and he goes what he has to warp the guy down with his extra napkin then tell the waitress to bring him another one. They would know every soon if the explosives are really or and Mike was stay on that.

Out by the pool in one of the cabanas Rosie, Rollins, Mc and Taylor were the only one on from the SWAT red team that was local not only that but Mc and Rollins, their other half were deployed, Rollins husband was in Afghanistan with SEALs team and Mc's wife was somewhere over the Golf on board USS beta one of Navy's battleships. As for Taylor, he been married three times and divorced three times, the man was not looking for wife number four. That was thing been SWAT or in the military, not many spouses have what it takes to stick by the officer through it all.

Mc asked, "you read the paper this morning?"

Rosie said "40 miles from there, 2 stick missing and all these rich guys walking around, which only means the Cage is at its maximum this weekend"

Rollins said "mining company, it is an inside job, I took a look at the video no away to ID them team of three head to toe in black, their security guard was fired he got Military background I put my money that he is behind it"

Taylor looks around the pool said "between pool party, concert tonight, Gunther display and Sam's high rollers, there no way to evacuate the hotel without tip the hand"

Mc said "it rich pickings for them both in body count and money"

Rosie said "Vegas, we got plenty of money, Ya know what piss me off is that one of us the brains of this ops"

MC said "ten sticks of military grade C4, rightly place boom could bring down a wall they bring down the right wall it could take the hotel down"

Rollins said "we look at mass casualty"

Taylor said "have we been doing this job too long, I mean listen to us, paranoid just because there was C4 was taken from a mine 40 miles out from Vegas, we think they going come here to hurt us"

Rosie said "A little bit of paranoia is good for the Soul, it the only way to stay alive in this job"

They Hear Sam and Mary's talk has they walk pass their cabana, Mary was trying to get Sam to let a few local in, there only 60 guesses who listen to the concert and the poolside can hold two times that amount. Sam was being Sam all she was think about was the bottom dollar.

The police officer arrives with Luis and Danny said "we got him Isolated with Ed and Nessa, Now Strapped around his wisest is something that looks like a boom. Plan clothes guys have established a 30-foot perimeter around the table"

Luis said, "what does he want?"

Danny said, "Natalie Lapoint one of our dealers, what he wants with her I don't know plus we don't know where the hell she is?"

Luis said, "okay fine, I send a car to her place, what do we know?"

Mike said "we know the boom real"

Danny said "yeah but the rest of her team are out of town"

Luis said "get them up here now, I get red team up here too"

Mike scoffed saying "that great because from what I heard Rosie team and red team have been hogging the kill house just to piss off the blue team"

One of the officers said "on one in the department want to work the blue unless they are desperate the Sargent Fuller who in charge of the blue team is ass"

Danny is on the phone with Jerry and he put the man on speakerphone so everyone can hear. While Danny tries to talk to the guy he says he all he wants to talk to Natalie and he hangs up on Danny.

Danny said "this guy said that he going blow the hotel up, I thought you said that he only got nouns"

Mike said "yeah just enough to take the table his sitting at"

Danny asked "are you sure"

Mike said "yes I am sure"

Danny said "Alright either this guy is completely nuts or he didn't build that boom"

Mitch said "Danny, that was Metro, they found Natalie Lapoint, passed out in her house. They bring her now"

Danny walks her up and she tells him a little story about how she ever missed a day of work and that she wants out last night, and did even come home late the next she knows is the cop are banged at my door. When they get in they learn that Jerry is not Natalie boyfriend that he lives down the hall.

Luis said "so you guys have never gone out"

Natalie said "are you kindling, I said to the guy from the mailbox one time the next thing I knew he would leave me alone. It didn't take along before it went from wired too scary"

Danny said, "really how?"

Natalie said "he shows up at my door in the middle of the night, leave me a note on my car. Finally, I told him to leave me alone or I call the police. Is he cursing any trouble?"

Danny said "yeah, you could say that"

Danny said "Mike locate Rosie"

Mike said "Rosie, Rollins, Mc and Taylor are here by the pool in cabana 4 they try to locate something or someone most likely both"

Danny said "tell her to meet Luis and me in the hallway now"

Swat Captain coming and he tells Luis said "We in place and ready"

Danny said "with all due respect, he could still trigger the boom if you shoot him"

Luis said "Danny this going happen so fast, he be dead before his heads hit ground"

Danny said "stop"

Luis said "What is it"

Danny said "Ed sending message, their second boom"

Danny takes Luis out and when he asked why he took him somewhere. Danny tells that they need a plan. The two Marines but heads yelling at one other, just has Rosie, Mc, Taylor and Rollins come into the hallway that leads to the surveillance room. tell each other they are both training to do this.

Rosie asked, "are you two done piss putting around?"

They both look at her and the other four looking at them like they were fighting over the last cookie in the cookie jar.

Luis said "yeah"

She looks at Danny who nodded his head she asked: "what the lesson at boot camp?"

Danny said "work together for victory"

Rosie asked "or?" looking at Luis for the last part of the answer.

Luis said "work against one another fall part"

Rosie said "so play nice and work together, you got a plan," asked them both.

Luis said "you been updated"

Mc said "named Jerry Spires. stalked Natalie Lapoint and Jerry has a bomb on his person"

Danny said "Ed on the floor with Nessa, he got a message to us their second boom"

Luis asked "what now"

Rosie said "tell me that it's Hondo's team in there"

Luis said "no I requested the red team and got the black team instead"

Mc said "we can work with them, let's find that second boom"

One the waiter walks by saying too other "Gunther past out after down half bottle of Vodka. He refuses to cook anything unless people watch his display"

Rosie said " the second boom mean that Natalie is not the only target so Jerry is just a diversion"

Mike asked "diversion to what?"

Mc said "could be anything"

Luis said, "you think someone tries to take down the casino?"

Danny said "this place is like the candy shop it could be anything"

Rosie said "Mike take are closer look at the device"

Danny said "Okay Mitch let run another speck Sprachraum facial recantation on everyone body on the floor"

Rollins said "okay start supplementing the people in the cage, art gallery with our people, quietly"

Luis said "Danny we evacuate the casino"

Danny said "Luis you heard him if we evacuate he could set of both the booms"

Rosie said "we need more information"

Mike said "hairball microphone in play we got audio at the table"

Mitch said "put it on speaker"

Jerry is telling Ed a story "Beautiful girls like that don't know where ebbs are? When Natalie dump me I kept calling her, after he wouldn't talk to me I just want to get in bed pull the covers my head."

Ed said "oh man I sure been there"

Jerry said "then I mate this guy, Tommy, at the bar he tells me not to wallow to get up and party, tell me I need a plan"

Luis said "cross-refers any Tommy, Tom, Tomson with the 50-mile radius last names to run all the possibilities"

Danny said "get Natalie back in here see if she recognizes anyone"

Mike said "guy, I look at the boom from the close up we got from the overhead camera, the red wire it not attached to anything"

Rosie said "Mc, Hauptschein"

Mc said "his right"

Hauptschein adds "there no circus"

Danny said "do we even know if this boom is really

Hauptschein said "it is real"

Danny said "so someone else has the trigger"

Taylor said "guy with the second boom"

Luis said "we are looking for a remote trigger people"

Rosie said "scan for anything with a single"

Natalie said "wait I know that guy he was sitting in the bar right next to me"

Rollins said "could he had slip something in your drink?"

Natalie said "yeah I guess he could have"

Danny said "that would explain why she was passed out until hour ago"

Mitch said, "he, not black book or griffin, I am going to run facial recognition and bring it up p3"

Taylor said "the way he walks and carries himself his Military for use"

Danny asked, "how do you feel?" Rosie smile, that was one of many things she loved about the man.

Luis said "what if we take out Alessandri right now"

Mike said "no, see these weird, running up and down his arms and legs it a dead man trigger if his feet leave the ground or drop dead, it will trigger both the booms"

Mc said "Two and a half brick is enough to take out wall"

Luis said "isolate the table get me a plan for crowd control and get this lightweight shield ready"

Rosie said "Rollins, Taylor give them hand"

Danny said, "are you talking about?"

Rosie said "Danny, you were right Jerry is just a diversion"

Luis said "and diversion is only good if you sue it"

Mike said "no matter what we do Jerry is dead man"

Danny said "and so it Ed and Nessa"

Rosie asked "Mitch, the wall into Cage, it is reinforced walls, floors and ceilings right"

Mitch said "yeah"

Mike said "smart keep us distracted, simultaneously blow up Jerry and enter the Cage we would have never known"

Taylor asked "got question for you all how the hell is Alessandri keep eye on Jerry on the floor when he off the casino floor"

Mike said, "why does he have to watch?"

Taylor said, "what if he gets jumped or chicken out Alessandri would want to know that right?"

Danny said "what about wireless mic on Jerry?"

Mike said "the frequency is too close together it could set off the boom"

Danny said, "so how does he keep eye on Jerry?"

Mc said "he got have another set of eyes down there"

Danny said "give me Video on Alessandri for the last hour"

Rollins said "why is Alessandri walking the same root every 2 minutes"

Mike said "no look there every time he walks past the change rooms he looks up at something"

Rollins said "it some kind of a signal"

Danny said "where is that coming from"

Mike said "every two minutes there is flash above the man enters wall like clockwork"

SWAT Captain said "yeah they're in place right now"

Rosie asked "Mike can you rig one of the of LED light in camera so Danny can get a message down to Ed bout the second trigger"

Mike said "of course"

Rosie said, "who going to take the spotter?"

Luis said "I take out the spotter"

Rosie said "Mike, Luis, and Danny you got two minutes get going, Captain give the order two minutes if the two booms are not cuffed to each other take them both out. Mc and Hauptschein suit up, you two got a boom to disarm"

They all listen and watch the action down blow Luis put the gun to the spotter and say "don't move, don't even breath"

He nodded to Danny who moves in with cuffs and Nessa punch the guy, one hold of the cuffs is placed in hand that is holding the trigger. Ed asked "yeah where this guy's partner"
