Dylan
Rogers took his ball from the hole nr. 4 and answered to his mobile
phone.
"Rogers..."
"Hey Dylan! It's Frank Burnett!"
"Frank!
How are you, man? And Trish?"
"We are both fine thanks...
I've
heard of your last success... congrats!"
"Thanks Frank... my
project have been really appreciated, but I never thought to have
such a success..."
"Tsk... you, lucky stiff! You'll have to tell
me your secrets..."
Dylan grinned.
"Yeah.. but I
don't think
you called me only to congratulate..."
"Infact... we'll need your
idea about a certain project... can you come here next week?"
"Uhm...
I'll have to check my schedule, but I think it's ok. I'll call you for
confirmation. Bye Frank..."
Dylan closed
the conversation and he was ready to go to the next hole, but his
phone rang again.
"Rogers..."
Dylan sat down on the
car. The call was interesting...

JAG HEADQUARTERS
Falls Church,
Virginia
Harm arrived grinning at JAG HQ, followed by Mac.
"Stop
that, Harm! It's ok, you won..."
"Yes... but you
are forgetting a certain deal between us..."
Mac glared at
him.
"I'm not going to eat your meatless meatlof. NO WAY, Harm!"
"You have
lost, Mac... come on, Marine!"
Harm opened
the door of his office and his smile faded when he found Clayton
Webb and Madeleine Davenport waiting for him.
"Agent Webb...
Agent Davenport..."
"Hi Rabb... we have to talk..."
"I think
I'll better go... talk to you later, Harm..." Mac quickly said
disappearing in her office.
Harm closed the door and glared at
Clayton.
"I don't know what I have done, but I can swear you that
I didn't want to ruin one of your operations..."
Maddie
giggled.
"We have a guilty conscience... you have not ruined
anything this time, Cmdr Rabb... a good, amazing news!" she said.
Harm smiled
ironically.
"This time Rabb we are here to
ask for your help..."
Harm looked interested.
"Clayton Webb needs
my help... can I hear you begging?"
Clayton glared at him.
"Rabb..." he begun with anger.
"CLAY STOP
THAT! And you too, Cmdr Rabb... guys, you are like kids!"
"You're right Agent
Davenport... spill it, Webb..."
"Your stepfather works in the car
industry, right?"
"Yes, he works for the Chrysler... why?"
"And I think he know a certain Dylan
Rogers..."
"Yes, of course... they should be friends... If I remember correctly my
mother mention him at Christmas... but, WAIT A MOMENT... Webb, why
are you asking me this?"
The two agents nodded at each other.
"That's
classified, Rabb. Now, we need your father to
introduce us Mr Rogers..."
"No way, Webb. I'm not going to risk
Frank and my mother for your secrets. I want to know all the story
or I'm not helping you. Full stop."
Maddie groaned.
"Mr Rogers
used to be one of the CIA Agents, but some years ago abruptly left
the Agency. We have found out that he's become a mercenary. He is
still using his skills for stealing State Secrets, projects, weapons
or anything else for the one who can afford to buy him..."
Harm
stared at her in disbelief.
"You can't be serious. Come on, we
are talking of Dylan Rogers, he's one of the best experts in top
management of the country..."
"I know, it seems unreal... but is
true. Now, Rabb... are you going to help us?"
"Yes, I am, Webb.
But if you put in danger my mother you'll better hide from me...
when do you want to leave?"
"As soon as possible..."
"Ok...
let me go to the Admiral's and ask for some vacation..."
SOME
MINUTES LATER - Adm Chegwidden's office.
"Sir..."
"At ease
Cmdr Rabb... I heard that you won in your latest case. Well done
Cmdr, we all believe that LtCol Mackenzie was going to defeat you..."
"Thanks
Sir..."
"Now... what do you want?"
"Ehm.. I
want to ask some vacation. I want to go to visit my mother... plus I
have some flight hours left to do... so..."
Chegwidden stared at
him. He slowly stood up and come in front of Harm, facing him only
from inches apart.
"Cmdr. Rabb... I've already heard this
story... and the last time you nearly got killed in Russia on a
stolen MIG!"
"Yes Sir, but..."
"Vacation
granted, Cmdr Rabb.
But remember... if you'll end up in troubles again, I promise you
that you are going to spend the next ten years in archive! Do I made
myself clear?"
"Yes Sir..."
"Good...
Dismissed!"
"Aye aye Sir..."
Burnett residence
La
Jolla, CA
"Don't tell to my mother that you are a CIA Agents or
she will get worried, I told them that I was going to come with two
friend of mine, two civvies attorneys with whom I often work with."
"Me? A lawyer ??? Ok…I had worst cover ID…I can handle
it."
"Ah Ah…very funny Maddie , very funny!"
The trio went
down to the Burnett's before they can reach the door it slammed
open.
"Harm!!!- Trish ran out to hug his son - what a nice
surprise , where is Mac , why you didn't bring her too…"
"MOM,
stop it please, right now…"
"Ok dear, but introduce me your
friends."
"Mrs. Burnett it's a pleasure meet you, finally….Harm
talked about you a lot! I'm Diane Leem and he is Mr. Dave N. Port"
Maddie said leaving the two man without a word…those name???
"Mrs.
Burnett, thank you for your hospitality and for
invite us too!" mutter Clay
"Please don't call me Mrs. Burnett,
I'm Trish!…I'm so glad that Harm decided to bring you two at our
BBQ-Beach Party… my only hope is that we can talk a little more when
all this is over!" Noticing Maddie's dress she add, looking at her
son.
"Why you and your friend don't go inside and put on some
more suitable to a beach party dresses? And then you'll join us
outside?"
It was hard for Harm try to convince Clay to change
his suit and tie with a more appropriate pair of jeans and T-shirt,
but he made it and several minutes later they were going
out.
"Clay, we have a deal…..keep Frank and Mom out of your
dirty business or this time I'll K….."
"I know…you will kill my
with your bare hands….Make him introduce to Rogers and that's it….."
"Ok , overthere there is Frank
"And the other is my
man…"
"Frank, how are you?"
"Harm ! I'm fine. I'm so glad
that you decide to come to our party this year!!"
"Well, It was a
long time since I didn't come to visit you, then I have some hour of
flying to do …so here I 'm!!!"
"But I see you aren't not
alone!"
"This is a friends of mine….Dave N. Port "
"I'm very
glad that you are here too. And this Dylan Rogers "
"Nice to meet
you" the man "so since you are Harm's friends or you are in the
military or you are lawyer."
"The second one and what about you "
said Clay
"I'm a business man, very interested of being Frank's
partner at Crysler " heard that Harm get nervous.
"Am I
interrupting something?" Maddie said happily arriving a colored
jogging pants and top.
"No , Diane….let me introduce you my
step-father and Mr. Rogers….Gentlemen this is Dave's patner in the
firm they run in Washington, Diane Leem."
"You are a lucky man,
Dave! I haven't such a beautiful coworker in my office!" His cell
phone rang "Sorry , I'll talk with you later"
Frank took Harm to
meet some old friend and Clay and Maddie remained
alone.
"What???" She asked seeing the look and his partner 's
face.
"Diane Leem and DAVE N. PORT??? "
"I told you that I
would NEVER use that Abby Cowen…and please, Tony Clabb…was
ridiculous!!!"
"Ok you won this one…….But what are you
wearing…poor me I was hoping for a stunning bikini …" teased
him.
"As I told you once…In your dreams!!!….now let me go …I'll
talk with our man….maybe he will tell me something more about his
business.."
Hours Later
Trish insisted so much that Harm's
friends spend the night at her so now Maddie was located in the
guest room and Clay was on the comfortable couch. All was quiet and
Maddie wasn't asleep , so she jump out of her bed and went to the
living room where her patner was.
"Clay….Are you sleeping??"
"How I could sleep with you screaming in my
ears!?!?"
"Very funny……I want to talk about Rogers…"
"I should
have know you wasn't here for a romantic interlude"
"Ah
Ah…."
"So what did you discover…."
"Well , he told me that he
had a big deal going on with Chrysler….he is hoping to conclude it
as soon as in possible."
"So, we have to think that he is going
to sell to someone there the project he stole to CIA……now we have
only to discover who is the person with who he is dealing with."
"Do you think he is Mr.
Burnett!"
"I don't know what to think,Maddie!"
"ARE YOU OUT OF MIND!?!?!??!?!?" Harm's voice almost scared them to
death.
"You B*****, I 'm sick tired of you and your filthy
games…you are talking about my step-father in his own house….how
dare you doubt of him!!!"
"Rabb, slow down I'm not saying that
Frank is involved with Rogers, but I have to find a way to know who
is this man! Or…."
"OR???? Spill it Webb! No more little
tricks!!!"
"Or we will have a project of a engine that CIA is
studying sold to bold people…"
"Why didn't you tell me this
before?"
"Because if I did you won't help us!"
"You can bet on
it! I won't put in jeopardy my mother's husband!!! But since we are here, what you think we can do?"
"We? You did your job, now we
have to do ours!"
"Harm during the party I talked with him and he
said that maybe he will need a lawyer….but when I said that you will
be happy to help him , he answer my back that you were too *loyal*…so I bantered that you if you were in that way you were a
bad lawyer ….he look me puzzled and the added then maybe I was was
the lawyer he needed! I have an appointment with him for tomorrow at
lunch …"
"WHAT?!?!…. I'm going with you!"
"No,
Clay, you are not!….maybe you can convince Frank to make you visit the Chrysler
offices and discover something!"
"I can't go tomorrow I'm scheduled
for some hours of flying at Miramar."
"That's perfect you could
ask Frank to bring me with him, 'cause you are busy flying!"
"No
way, I let you go around with Frank alone I don't trust you at all!!"
"Harm, I promise I'm not hiding you
anything. I only give
a look around and maybe I will peek in some PC…."
"CLAY!"
"I'm
a CIA agent not a Saint I'm paid for doing that!!!"
"That's fine,
but remember…"
"Yes, yes, you will kill me….I know! Now could we
get some sleep???"
Harm went to his room not happy of the plan,
but it was better in that way than leave Frank to deal alone with
those dangerous people.
"Maddie…."
"Yes?"
"Be
careful…"
"You too….Nite" sweetly she said.
"Nite!"
Next day
Burnett
Residence
LaJolla, California
Trish, Frank, Clayton and
Maddie were reunited for breakfast.
"So... Frank... What you'll
have to do today?"
"It's not a busy day... I don't
know..."
"Perfect... look, I have a small request and I would be
SO happy if you can say yes..."
"Anything Mr.
Port..."
"Please, call me Dave..."
"All right... tell me,
Dave..."
"I would be happy to have the chance to visit the
Chrysler offices... they are famous for their organization..."
"Sure...
you'll have to be patient while I solve
the routine and then I will glad to come with you in your
visit..."
Clay and Maddie exchanged glances. In that moment Harm
arrived, wearing his leather jacket.
"Harm, sweetie... are you
going to Miramar?"
"Yes, I am, Mom.... Dave, will you come with
me?"
"No, Harm, he isn't. He will come with me at the
Chrysler."
Harm glared to Webb who was smiling beside Frank.
"Enjoy yourself
Harm, and be careful!" Trish greeted him
while he left the house.
FRANK OFFICE - Later that
day
Frank answered to his phone.
"Burnett... yes...
I'm coming..."
He put down the phone and smiled to Clayton.
"Sorry,
Dave... I have to leave you alone for some minutes..."
"Don't worry
Frank..."
"Be right back, ok?"
"Bye..."
Clayton waited that he left the room and then
went near the computer. He couldn't wait for Frank going away...
He begun his
research... he perfectly knew what he have
to find.
TEN MINUTES LATER
Clayton groaned. He
couldn't find anything of interesting!!! Then... his lucky star help
him another time. A bank transfert on an account he knew as a Mr
Rogers' one... finally he had found the name of his man.
Frank
arrived a couple of minutes later, announcing smiling he was finally
free and ready to come with him.
Yacht Club
Restaurant
Noon
Maddie in a flowered dress came in an with
the eyes search for Mr.Rogers. A waving of hand distract her, here
there was the man.
"Hi Diane, you look beautiful!"
"Thank
you, Dylan you are too kind!"
"How are you today?"
"Just great, I'm enjoying my stay here in California, I've been working
too much lately. We need a vacation!"
"We?? Are you and Dave
involved?"
"Boy,no! We just work in the same law firm and we work
together, and sometimes no!"
"Good! Tell me something about your
job."
"No please, I'm off ! Let's we only enjoy this
lunch!"
"I'd really love to know more about how your work …and
about you…."
"What's this? An interview to get a new
job?"
"Maybe….but let's we eat something"
They ate chatting
pleasantly, but both were paying attention not to say to much.
Then when we were drinking their coffee Dylan finally talked
clearly.
"Look, Diane the reason of this lunch, beside I find you
a wonderful woman is that I need a lawyer."
"Well, Dylan…..I was
suspecting it!" she tease him "Tell, do you need an advice?"
"Not exactly an advice…I have to conclude a deal with someone
who might try to cheat me with some legal stuff…"
"That
won't be a problem before you sign that contract I will be glad to
read it for you."
"Isn't so easy…the *contract* could be not so
legal as it seems!"
"Well you recognize a good attorney from how
he will turn an almost illegal thing into a perfect legal
one!"
Dylan burst into laugh!
"That's what I want to hear…so
how about discussing it tomorrow at dinner?"
"Ok I'll ask Dave if
for him is OK!"
"I was hoping that Dave won't get involved in
this!"
"Oh…this is not how we are used to work…..but let me think
about it I'll call you tomorrow and I'll let you know!" she said and
left.
Burnett RESIDENCE - MADDIE'S ROOM
LaJolla -
CA
"Are you sure, Clay?"
"Yes... Rogers has been called by
Mr. Charles Dexter. He's working for the Development Department...
I've already sent his name to the Headquarters, they are ready to
catch him as soon as we trap Rogers..."
"Good... I've a dinner
with him in couple of hours... what about a nice trick to our
man?"
"A micro?"
"Why not? He want to talk to me of
business..."
"Ok... let's see where we can hide it... what are
you going to wear?"
Maddie showed him a long black dress with a
high cut.
"Are you crazy? Where do you think we can hide a micro
on that dress? It barely covers you!"
"I can't believe you really
said that! It's not your business what I wear... and I can hide the
micro in the purse, so don't worry..."
"As you wish,
milady... I
will be outside the restaurant, ready to come to rescue you as soon
as he falls in our trap..."
"Good... and now... go away. I want to
have a bath... and I have to prepare for the dinner..."
"You
really want to hook him!"
Clayton run out of the room, avoiding
the slipper that Maddie throw him giggling.
Il Forno
Bistro Restaurant
Downtown La Jolla
She met Dylan at the
Italian restaurant. She had a micro in her purse.
"Diane you are
amazing in that dress!"
"Will you make me blush?"
"Oh no ,
I'm just telling the truth!"
While their were eating some Shrimp
and Losbter Fritters , made with Scallions and Herbs, lightly fried,
served with Roasted Pepper Tarter Sauce they talk without saying
nothing important and Maddie was getting nervous as the time pass by
without that any evidence came up. Then suddenly Dylan said.
"My
dear, what about talking about our deal?"
"I was looking forward
to it!"
"Well I have this project to sell to Mr.Dexter at Chrysler
and…."
"And??"
"And since it has an unknown
*provenance* , we
must be very careful in the selling."
"Oh…"
"Is there any
problem for you?"
"Not really, I'm not the one who is selling
there's no need for the lawyer to know the provenance …..I will
simply ignore it!"
"Great! Now will you be there tomorrow when I
make the deal with ???"
Maddie was more and more nervous this
wasn't going as they planned to, she had to go away and talk with
Clay she wasn't a lawyer she could go there and sign some paper that
will be null and void, she was risking to put in danger too many
people.
"OK, I'll let you know when I have a couple of hours…now
if you pardon me, I'm tired I want to go home."
"Sure" and when
the bill was paid the lead to the parking area.
She was few steps
from the car and she knew that Clay must be somewhere not too far
when Dylan said
"We both know what the other is trying to
do........so you show your cards then I'll show mine, Maddie"
She
froze.
"What??"
"Miss Davenport, did you and Mr. Webb think
that I was so idiot? At the beginning I have to admit you fooled me.
But as you know I was a CIA agent …I still have some cards to
play."
"Rogers, since you know who we are you know that now
you are trapped. We've got you!"
"I know that Clayton is near
by,
but I have her partner on my line of fire, he is not so stupid to do
something now!"
"Dylan if you hurt her I will personally kill
you!"
"Webb, please don't be so dramatic…..you how this all will
end…You win this match, you have back you project- said waving a
folder-, BUT I will disappear…but before…." he cast the gun and the
paper toward Clay that automatically catch it, while he took Maddie
for her waist dropping a quick kiss on her lips.
"We'll see
again, my dear" then he disappear in a car that was waiting for him.
They both was stunned !
"Maddie are you
ok?"
"Yes I
'm….only my pride is a little smashed " the look at each other and
smile widely …
"So it seems that you have an admirer "
"So it
seems!"
"And it seems to me that you enjoy your dinner and….the
kiss most!!"
"Who is the one jealous now?" she replayed bantering
him.
