Jake leaned against the railing, scanning the beach. Nothing threatening around. Unless you call the seagulls flying around threatening. He stood there for a few moments soaking up the sunshine before he headed back inside. He checked to make sure everything was secure outside. Jake walked back into the house, locking the sliding door. He walked to the back bedroom. He slowly pushed the door open and checked on Andi. He could see the swelling was starting to go down on Andi's face.
Suddenly there was a light knock on the door. He wasn't expecting company. He closed the bedroom door and pulled his gun out of his holster. "Yea, just a minute," he yelled walking to the door, "Who is it?"
"It's me," Renee answered through the door. "Open up."
Jake looked through the peephole to make sure she was alone. "Renee, what are you doing here?" he asked opening the door.
Moving Renee out of the way, Donovan stepped into Jake's view. "Hello Francisco." he smirked, "We need to talk." Donovan pushed Renee into the house and followed her in. Alex followed right behind them closing the door.
"Nice place Jake." Alex smiled, looking the room over. It was a cozy little beach house. A decent size living room. A love seat against one wall and a pullout against the other.
"Where's your friend, Jake?" Donovan asked, starting to search the house. When Donovan reached the back bedroom Jake stopped him.
"I can't let you in there Donovan." Jake said blocking the doorway.
"What's going on Jake?" Alex asked, signaling Monica and Cody from the window.
"I think you owe us an explanation." Donovan said trying to step into the back bedroom.
Jake pushed Donovan back away from the bedroom door. "I said you can't go in there."
"Hey surfer boy," Cody laughed walking in the door, "what's hangin'?"
"Cody, stop with the surfer talk." Monica said walking in the door.
"Tell us what's going on or I will go in that room." Donovan threatened.
"It's not your concern." Jake growled getting into Donovan's face.
"Jake," Alex warned.
"You're a member of my team." Donovan stated.
"I'm on leave," Jake said raising his voice a little, "It's not your concern."
"You leave in the middle of the night, letting us think Sonny Walker or Quito Real, had you grabbed. No word if you needed help." Donovan yelled back.
"I don't need your help." Jake shouted back.
"What did you expect us to do?" Alex said joining in the argument, "Sit on our butts and twiddle our thumbs?"
"What's going on Jake?" Donovan asked.
Monica and Cody stood back and watched them argue, wondering who would be the one to throw the first punch. They didn't notice the bedroom door open.
"Jake, tell us what's going on." Alex asked.
"Go ahead Jake," a voice said from the bedroom door, "tell them."
Alex and Donovan turned towards the bedroom. Jake turned when he heard Andi's voice. "You shouldn't be out of bed yet." Jake said holding onto to Andi.
"Jake," Donovan said looking over his friend's bruises, "we need to talk now."
"Jake, I'll take Andi back into the bedroom." Alex said taking Andi's arm. "Hi Andi, I'm Alex."
"If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to sit on the couch." Andi said holding onto Alex.
Alex helped Andi to the couch. Andi watched as Jake went outside with his boss.
"With the name Andi, I assumed she was a he." Monica told Cody.
"Never assume anything when it comes to being friends with Jake Shaw." Renee said sitting down next to her partner.
Suddenly there was a light knock on the door. He wasn't expecting company. He closed the bedroom door and pulled his gun out of his holster. "Yea, just a minute," he yelled walking to the door, "Who is it?"
