"Alex, follow the agent you know and see what you can find out," Donovan ordered climbing back into the van, "then meet us at Altman's bar."
"Got it," Alex replied over the headset.
"Cody," Donovan barked, "what did you find out about Lexi? And why didn't we know about her?"
"Just got the info from TECS," Cody replied handing him the paper, "um, how did you know her name?"
"We met before." Donovan admitted reading the paper. "A couple weeks ago in a bar."
"Really?" Cody smiled. He was intrigued.
"The same bar where you kept Jake waiting for his motorcycle." Monica commented, "Interesting."
"Alexis Torres, thirty-two. Moved from foster home to foster home." Cody read from his screen, "She just got released from jail a couple weeks ago for assault and battery."
"That explains why Jake didn't know about her." Donovan replied.
"What does that say about your taste in women?" Monica asked avoiding the glare she was receiving from Donovan.
"That he has the same taste as Jake." Cody smirked, "For a minute there I thought Jake was going to jump her right there."
"Let's get to Altman's bar." Donovan growled.
Lexi smiled at the bouncer as she walked into the bar with Jake's arm around her. She quickly scanned the crowd. In the corner table in the back sat her boss waiting for them.
"I see Jake lived," Johnny smiled motioning for Jake to sit down, "with little marks too. She must like you. Let's get down to business."
"Come and find me later when your done stud," Lexi whispered in his ear, "I'll save a dance for you."
"Watch out for Lexi," Johnny warned, watching her move around the crowd, "break her heart and she'll put you in the hospital. Just ask the last guy she dated."
"I can handle myself." Jake replied waving down a waitress, "Bring me a beer. Let's deal."
Lexi moved herself through the crowd towards the back door. "You need to get a grip, Lex," she muttered leaning her head against the dumpster. She started to shake. The next thing she knew she was heaving up everything from her stomach.
"Junkie in need of a fix?" Cody asked watching the monitor. "Sorry."
"She could've gotten a rush from her treatment of Jake and now it's hitting her." Monica commented.
"Alex is here," Cody said opening the van door, "and she brought a friend."
Lexi looked up from where she was leaning. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw movement. She watched as Tony, who helped her earlier with Jake, stepped into a van with some woman. "Shit, this doesn't look good," she muttered going back into the bar.
"I think we've just been made." Cody warned.
"Who are you and who do you work for?" Donovan asked the man.
"Tony Magruder, DEA." he introduced himself, "What the hell are you doing here?"
"Our job," Donovan replied, "Frank Donovan, FBI. How long have you been on Altman?"
"Just over six months." the agent answered, "In a half hour, DEA is going to raid the bar. There's ten million dollars worth of China white in there. You can't be after that?"
"Weapons. We were going to arrest them later tonight." Donovan revealed. "I have an agent in there, let me get him out before you raid the place."
"Yea, we know. We've been watching him for a couple weeks now." Magruder confirmed, "I have a few more agents in there, he'll be okay."
"Not good enough." Donovan stated.
"If you pull your agent out now, mine will be dead and I'm not willing to take the chance." Magruder argued.
"I'll keep my agent in as long as we get to go in with you." Donovan handing Alex a vest.
Lexi pushed her way into the Ladies room to splash cold water on her face. She looked at her reflection in the mirror. "Time to go into a new line of work." she laughed.
She made her way to the bar. She looked over to see Jake was still doing business with Johnny. "Coke." she ordered.
"Nothing stronger?" a voice asked from behind.
Lexi turned around, "Jim, what are you doing here?" she demanded.
"Out having a little fun, just like you." he sneered.
"Go home to your new girl," Lexi spat pushing past him.
"Not so fast." Jim laughed grabbing her arm, "Maybe if you dressed like that, I would've stayed around longer."
"Let my arm go.' Lexi hissed.
"You heard her," Jake ordered, grabbing Jim's arm.
"Interesting new friends Lexi." Jim said eyeing Jake, "A different man each week?"
Jim's implication made her blood boil, without thinking she reached inside her jacket and pulled out her gun. "You have until the count of three to leave the bar." Lexi smiled caressing the gun, "Three."
"I'm going, but you'll be sorry Lexi." Jim swore yanking his arm away from Jake.
"I was sorry the day I said I'd marry you!" Lexi yelled after him, "I'm sorry for the first time I slept with you and everything else with you. Gimme a drink. Man, I'm going to pay for that later."
"What's that mean?" Jake asked.
"You'll be sorry." Lexi mimicked, waving her hands in the air.
"Jake, Lexi, clear out the bar." Johnny ordered handing Jake a gun.
"What's going on?" Lexi asked.
"Feds are surrounding the building. Someone squealed." Johnny spat, checking his gun to make sure a round was in the chamber. "And I know who it was."
"Hey Johnny, point that thing elsewhere." Jake laughed looking down the barrel.
"He's clean Johnny," Lexi defended Jake, "He checked out."
"People are leaving early." Magruder yelled, "They know we're here!"
"Someone's opening the door." Alex said pointing to the monitor.
"You thought you were smart, sending a fed in my outfit." Johnny yelled. "It didn't work. I found out who the snitch is!"
"Shit, he has Jake." Alex said.
"Johnny, don't do this." they heard Jake yell, "You're wrong about this."
"I want my car and my driver here in ten minutes or I kill the fed!" Johnny yelled.
They could see shadows moving around near the door. Next they saw the door shake as someone was pushed into the glass. DEA SWAT turned their lights onto the door.
"That's not Jake." Alex said relieved, seeing Lexi's face pressed against the glass door, a gun being held to her head. "He doesn't have Jake. Can we still go in?"
"What's Altman doing?" Donovan asked. "Does he think we don't know who our agents are?"
"Altman does have a federal agent. Agent Torres is with the DEA." Magruder revealed.
"Got it," Alex replied over the headset.
"Cody," Donovan barked, "what did you find out about Lexi? And why didn't we know about her?"
