Chapter 2: Welcome to the Bureau

Jake had contacted some of his friends at the Bureau to check Scarlett's qualifications for the job. He was hoping to receive an affirmative from them at any time now. Sara sipped some coffee while they waited.

"Hey Jake, think you can get her set up at the department? We could use this kind of help. Besides you need her to be around to keep an eye on the White Bulls, what better place to have her than there."

"I'm hoping to be able to get her inside, Sara. She's making some sacrifice. Having been a covert operative, knowing that she worked with Danny in the CIA, she has to know that she'll have to sever all connections to her life as it is. If she was to back out right now, I wouldn't blame her. These guys are murderers, they wouldn't spare her life a second thought." Jake said as Scarlett walked in the room.

"I've never backed down from anything in a long time, I'm not going to start with this. Besides when I witnessed that murder and Danny found out; he had me promise that I'd find a way to come forward with this. Even if anything happened to him." She looked down at the floor in silence and thought ~It's almost as if Danny saw this coming. He was ready for it, the tape for Sara, the list of murders done by the White Bulls.~

"I miss him, too." Sara said softly.

"If Danny were here, he'd say that you got in touch with me so I could help Jake. And that we were all destined to meet sooner or later. He would say that all of this is connected."

"Danny was such a destiny lover. He loved to talk about stuff like that; destiny, karma, past lives."

"Yeah, that was Danny for you," Scarlett said.

Jake's cell phone start to ring. Scarlett and Sara fall silent as he goes to answer it.

"Hello.....Yes...of course....Yes sir. No, I won't....Yes I know.....the only witness...I will. When will the new identity be finished?....Already....Yes, sir....Thank you, sir." Jake hung up the phone and smiled.

"Well?" Sara asked.

"Welcome to the FBI, Scarlett. As of now, you are officially under our jurisdiction and rules. The head of the Bureau issued these orders to me, directly. You'll be given today to tell your family and only your family that you'll be out of touch with them for some time. Your Unit can't know about this. You've been given a new identity, so no one can connect you with this until the job is finished. Within an hour Shana O'Hara will have disappeared from all government computers. The Bureau would like you to use any means necessary to stay out of the line of fire because you are the only witness, but we all know that one testimony won't do squat for a trial."

"So, what's my cover?"

"You're now officially Rosalie Daniels, a homicide detective from Savannah, Georgia. You transferred here recently, you have an apartment about three blocks from the precinct. You're to be working with Sara and me on the homicide cases."

"That works for me. I can watch the White Bulls there." Scarlett replied.

"Welcome to the force, Ro" Jake said.

"Thanks Jake." She sighed. "I better have a good explanation for this when I get back to the Joes."

"I wouldn't worry about that. The head of the bureau told me that he would personally find out who he should thank for your help on this."

"This ought to be good." Sara remarked.

"One more thing though," Jake said.

"What?"

"You need a different look. Nothing to drastic, colored contacts?"

"Why?"

"You're close with the rest of your unit. Sooner or later someone's going to find out that everything about you has been erased from the government's computer."

"You're right about that I have a friend who was supposed to meet me in a couple of day from the Funeral and I can't meet him now."

"I can," Jake offered. "Where would he go?"

"Once he realizes that I'm not where I said I would be and I left no message for him. He'll look for the only connection I left him: Danny. He'll show up at Danny's grave, sooner or later."

"I deal with that. Can I make a suggestion about the color of the contacts?"

"Sure."

"I'd go with green. They'll look great on you."

"I'll go with green then." she paused for a moment. "I'll need to get in contact with an old friend of mine. He was a expert at shadowing people and getting close to them without their knowledge, he may be able to help us." Scarlett turned to leave, hoping that Ian would help them deal with the White Bulls.

``````````The next chapter was posted in this spot, I needed to put this one up to explain why Jake was at Danny's grave when Snake Eyes showed up. And who 'Rosalie' is.
