~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

[Picking up where we left off]

Jason ran up the stairs quickly, taking two stairs at a time, alarmed. "What's wrong?"

"Oh-my-God," Carly started excitedly, "you've got to see this. What idiot was doing these books?"

"Luke." He told her, relieved nothing was wrong.

"Come here. He's made a major error in figuring out his profits. He forgot that when he raised his prices to figure that into the book. Every time. By my calculations he's made…" She pauses as she makes the total, "SHIT!!!! Let's just say that there's a lot of money that he doesn't know about. He's been messing up for years."

"Luke is going to love you." Jason said smiling.

"Can you have him come over right now?" Carly requested, "We really need to talk."

"Give me ten minutes and I'll have him here." Jason promised.



b** Exactly ten minutes later **/b


"I'm here, what do you want?" Luke demanded.

"Carly wants to talk to you." Jason explained.

Luke looked around, "Fine, why isn't she here?"

"She's in her room, waiting for you."

"Can't she come down here?" Luke asked rolling her eyes

"No. The doctor said she has to stay in bed." Jason informed Luke, his expressionless face not changing.

Luke's icy demeanor melted away when he heard something was wrong with his niece, "Why? What's wrong?"

"Too much stress." Jason explained simply, "If you do anything to bother her, or stress her out, I'll make sure that you won't ever see that baby."

Luke knew that Jason wasn't making a threat, it was a promise, so he silently goes upstairs to Carly's room.

When he walked in he saw she's smiling. "Well Sweet Caroline, I'm here. What do you want?"

"Luke, you know who ever was doing your books before you had Jason take over was an idiot." Carly taunted.

Luke was irritated, "Really? Why?"

Carly smugly explained, "Because I've been doing them for less than two weeks and I've recovered over $2,830,000"

Luke didn't believe her, "No, really why?"

"I'm not kidding. Look for yourself." Carly demanded, holding out the books.

He checked, his eyes slowly got really big.

"Congratulation Luke, you're a millionaire. I haven't even finished." Carly grinned

"Damn, I think I'll let you keep doing them. Hey, if you're so good at accounting why are you a physical therapist."

"Because I'm only doing this because I'm not allowed to work at my normal job, and that's not physical therapy. It pays big money, I get to travel, and I'm only on leave because I'm pregnant. It's way too dangerous to do what I do and be pregnant, right now I can only do paper and phone work. I can't wait to get back in the field." Carly admitted to him wistfully.

"If I didn't know any better I'd say your WSB." Luke said joking.

Carly paled, "How'd you guess"

"Oh my god. Are you WSB?" Luke

"Yeah, I am." Carly confirmed.

Luke didn't believe her quite yet, "I can't just take your word for it, I want some proof."

"I know Robert and Anna, Luke. I know they're not dead." Carly told him.

Luke knew that only him, and some of the highest levels of the WSB knew that information, "There's no way that you could know that unless you were WSB. One more thing, list the agents in town."

Carly looked at him with her eyebrows raised, "Do I look stupid, why should I tell you?"

"Come on, we're family." Luke begged.

Carly caved, "Fine, but it's between you and me. If you tell anyone else that I don't say you can, I'll snap your neck like it was a twig."

"Ok, ok." Luke held up his hands in surrender.

"Well, only my team is in town. I lead a special force. All hand picked by me. There's my partner V. Ardanowski, Jerry Jacks well he's out of town, his partner Marcus Taggert, and the loner Frisco Jones I keep him at head-quarters, for now. I'm looking for some new young agents to join us. I need to expand our force, and I want some fresh ones that haven't been tainted by the idiots at the academy. Here's how I got here…"

She told him how 4 years ago she'd been recruited, and after she'd been training for 2 months, and she could already outsmart, overpower, and speak more languages than any of the instructors. They realized that she would make a perfect special agent/team commander, and they wanted her to start of new force of the elite and her to train them.
She was 18, and already had her masters in business, and she finished Med. school at Stanford, top of her class. Before she could create her team, they sent her to Robert and Anna. She was still a little rough around the edges, and WSB wanted them to smooth her out.
The couple didn't come close to beating her in anything, except for presentation, which they taught her in only one month. They'd become great friends and respected each other. She agreed that she'd let them train with her new team, if they'd let her stay with them.
She had her choice of any agents she wants. Her team could and would expand whenever she wanted. She chose the people to start with; a rookie Venus Ardanowski, a seasoned agent Jerry Jacks, and finally, the pushy Marcus Taggert. She got Frisco cause he was good. And she planed on adding more agents very soon.


"Damn. I've got one talented niece." Luke said with pride.

"You can only tell Lucky, but after you do send him here. I need to talk to him."

"I will. And Caroline, the Bobbie thing's forgotten." With that he left.

Carly knew that that was as close as an apology you ever got from Luke.



b** 45 minutes later **/b


Lucky sauntered into Carly's room, "What's up Agent Cous'? Well, besides you making the Spencer clan millionaires."

"Does that mean I get a cut too?" Carly joked, "But seriously, how good are you with a computer?"

"Very, why?" Lucky asked curiously.

"I'm going to pay you top dollar, if you teach me everything you know. If you're good enough, I might offer you a job." Carly told him.

"When do we start?" Lucky questioned eagerly..

"Tomorrow. Jason's not going to be too happy if you stay much longer." Carly smiled at his attitude.

"I'll come after school."

"Great. Bye Lucky." She waved leaning back.

"Bye Carly."

After Lucky leaves Carly started reading a book of baby names, but feel asleep. Jason came in to ask her what she wanted for dinner and noticed she sleeping
He removed the book, covers her up then leaves. Instead of closing the door, he left it open, so he could hear if anything went wrong.




b** Four days later **/b


Lucky was in Carly's room, they had a laptop that was hooked up to a phone-jack in the wall for the modem.

"Damn, you're a fast learner. I've taught you almost everything I know." Lucky exclaimed.

"Great. Now about that offer I was telling you about. How would you like to work for the WSB? I'm looking for a new agent, and I kind of have had my eye on you for awhile." Carly admitted.

"Are you serious?" Lucky asked in disbelief.

Carly nodded her head, "Yep. As soon as you finish basic training I take over. You'd join my team."

"How long would training be?"

Carly thought for a minute, doing the calculations, "Well, considering what your fathers already taught you. And the fact that you're a Spencer… I'd say about a month. I'm going to cut your training time. For a few reasons; one your age, second your father would kill me."

"Cool! When do I go?" Lucky jumped up eagerly.

Carly laughed at her cousin's enthusiasm, "Down boy! I'll call the office, I'd say about two days. So pack all your little toys and things, you're going to have to leave soon, and you don't want to forget anything."

"You're the coolest cousin ever." Lucky hugged her.

"I know. What time is it?"

Lucky looked at his watch, "4:30pm."

Carly looked mad, "Crap, I got to get dressed. Lucky please have Jason get Pete to bring the limo around. I have to be to a doctor's appointment in 30 minutes."

"I'm right on it." Lucky called out, jogging out of the room.


b** Ten minutes later ** /b

Carly came downstairs, hair done, light application of makeup, and dressed in something besides p.j.'s for the first time in days.

She waved goodbye to Lucky and Jason, and she was out the door.



b** 15 minutes later at the hospital **/b


Carly made it off the elevator this time before running into someone who hated her.

"Where have you been?" Tony demanded.
