" How long did you work for Verone?" Markham asked.

Sara glances over at Brian before saying " On and off 6 years." As she puts her head down.

" When you told Verone, you wanted out, what did he say? How did it end?"

" he didn't care, he wanted me to be happy. It ended on good terms." Sara explained. ' For him' She added silently.

" So that will be your in. You go to Verone and ask him for your job back but this time you have a partner." Markham explained.

" And if he doesn't go for it?" Sara asked as she shifts uncomfortably in her seat.

" Make him." Monica said.

" And how do you suppose I do that?" Sara asked as she puts her arms on the table and leans forward.

" Is it going to be a problem for you two to work together?" Bilkens asked, seeing the heated stare between the too.

" No." Sara said as she sits back in her seat.

" I have one more question." Markham said as he looks at Sara before continuing. " Why did you quite?"

" Does it matter?" Sara asked.

" In a way it does." Markham simply said.

" I just needed a change." Sara said, feeling the sudden urge to sit in a corner and cry.

Brian just sat in silence and let them talk. He already knew everything about the case. His eyes never left Sara.

He saw the front she put up as Markham asked her question after question. He also saw the pain in her eyes, what no one else saw.

" Alright, it's time. Sara you explain to Verone you heard he's looking for drivers and approached Monica, you know the rest." Markham explained once more before Monica, Sara and Brian left the office.

" This is going to be so much fun." Sara said as she skips towards the car.

" Have you lost your mind?" Monica asked, getting annoyed.

" Yes." Sara said as she stops and faces Monica. " I have decided, I don't care anymore. I'm tired of… everything. So yeah I lost my mind but then again, you can't lose something you've never had." Sara explained.

" Are you okay?" Brian asked.

" You know, you should have that tattooed on your forehead as much as you ask me. Brian…" Sara said as she placed her hands on each side of his and looks deep in to his eyes. " I'm fine. I promise." She said before letting him go.

" Can we go please?" Monica asked, hating the way they looked at each other.

" Yeah, let's go. I'm done with my psychotic episode."

~ Verone's ~

" Don't mess this up." Monica said as they walk towards the house.

" Monica, do me a favor. Shut the fuck up." Sara said as the reach the front door, Monica didn't say anything, she just opens the door.

" Carter!" Monica called out as they make their way to the living room, where he was sitting on the sofa.

" well I'll be damned." Carter said as he stands up and walks towards Sara. " it's nice to see you. What brings you by?"

" I heard you need drivers." Sara simply said.

" Let's talk." carter said as they all went and sat on the sofa.

" This is Brian O'Conner, my partner." Sara explained, they shook hands.

" Your right, I need drivers, who better then the best." Carter said.

" Does that mean we have the job?" Sara asked. She's trying to remain calm, the image of him makes her want to throw up, even more, she wants to kill him.

" Of course. There's no question. Remember what I told you, your always have a place here. Anytime you want your job, it's yours, I meant that. Your like a daughter to me." Carter explained as he lights his cigar. Not seeing the way she clinched her fists by that remake. She had a father and he took him away.

" What's the job?" Sara asked, wanting to get the hell out of there.

" There's still time to lay out the ground work, we'll discuss it tomorrow. Right now I want to here about you, are you still with the man you left the business for?" Carter asked.

" No, it didn't work out." Sara said.

" What have I always told you?"

" Love never lasts." Sara said lowering her head. As she remembers their talks together, she wants to forget him and it's imposable.

" And that's the truth." Carter said.

" We have to get going. I guess we'll see you tomorrow." Sara said as Carter walks her and Brian to the front door.

" It was nice meeting you Brian and Sara, I'm glad to have you back." carter said before they left.

" I guess that went okay." Brian said keeping his eyes on the road.

" Yeah. I didn't know Monica was living with him." Sara said.

" He offered and she said yes, there's a whole story behind it." Brian said.

" There's a lot more to it. Trust me, something's up."
