AN: Yes I know it took me a long time to update. But I'm gonna be honest, I was stuck I didn't know what to do but that's over because I got a new idea because the one I had I kinda used. Now I have an idea and with this chapter you'll see what it is and start to see what's going to happen.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Brian and Joey drove to Verone's and met him and Monica in the back next to the pool much like last time.
After a couple of seconds, Carter started." I'm glad you two could make it. I've been very impressed with what I've heard from Monica and I wanted to have you work for me but that job has fell through. I no longer need you too drive down to the keys for me but I have another job for you if you decided to take it." Carter explained as he glanced between Joey and Brian as he talked. He didn't know much about them but he fully trusted Monica and still needed drivers.
Joey and Brian looked at each other, neither of them knew what to say but they knew Bilkens and Markham wanted Carter put away so Joey jumped in.
" What's the job?" Joey asked as she looked from Brian to Carter.
" You're considering it, good. I own a private island off the Caribbean. It's a play ground for the very rich. There's many hotels and casinos. I also have a private compound where I live. I have a big deal coming through with several business men from Paris to Egypt. I have many shipments that need to be transported between places. I would like you both to come and stay on the island till its time for the job." Carter explained.
Both Joey and Brian were taken back, an island to live on, for how long? Neither knew what to say and Carter saw that.
" Don't worry about answering it now. Sleep on it and give me an answer tomorrow." Carter explained as he stood from his seat, everyone followed.
They all said their goodbyes and Joey and Brian quickly went to go meet with Markham and Bilkens. They drove to the headquarters and met in the back office room.
Joey gave both the men all the details to what Carter told them. " Monica should be here soon, we scheduled a meeting with her. When she gets here lets see if she has anymore details to what Verone had planed." Markham said and Bilkens agreed.
" Alright fine. What are you guys thinking though? Is taking this deal an option?" Brian asked as he looked at all three of them. He signed on to work a case here in Miami. Going out of the state wasn't something he was sure he could do.
" We need to nail Verone. We need more details before we decide what to do next. Yes it is an option, would you guys be willing to go to the Caribbean?" Bilkens asked.
" Yeah." Joey said quickly, she barely thought of it.
" You made up your mind that fast?" Brian asked as he turned his attention to Joey.
" Yeah. Ok I know this might sound crazy but this actually sounds fun. Bilkens is right Verone needs to be taken down and Verone said this was a big deal for him so why not get him on his biggest deal? That's a golden opportunity to make sure Verone would never be a free man again." Joey explained to Brian. She didn't think twice about to say yes or no because she was a cop and it was her job to get the bad guys and she wanted to nail Verone just as much as Markham and Bilkens but it wasn't because she wanted to be a good cop, she had her own reasons.
Markham said. " It's good to hear your take on it and how far you're willing to go to take down a criminal."
" Dude, did you just say something nice to me?" Joey asked with a cringed face.
" Let's forget about that. Brian what are you thinking?" Bilkens asked.
" I don't know." Brian said as he ran his hand threw his hair. For some reason it just didn't seem like a good idea to him but he also thought of Joey, she was going to do it and he couldn't let her go alone because what if something happened to her.
" You guys talk it out, we have something to go take care of." Bilkens said as he and Markham left.
" What do I have to do to get you to be ok with this?" Joey asked as she turned in her seat and stared into Brian's blue eyes.
" What are you willing to do?" Brian asked with a half smile as he cupped his hand around the nape of her neck.
" Get your mind out of the gutter. Just say yes, I promise you won't regret it, you know unless we die or something." Joey said as she really thought about it but that thought wasn't going to change her mind.
" That doesn't sound to comforting." Brian sarcastically said as his hand moved from her neck to resting on her thigh.
" It's not comforting so be a big hero and come with to protect me." Joey begged in a whiny voice.
" Fine." Brian said. He folded just as Joey knew he would because she wanted him to.
" Thank you." Joey said before she leaned over and kissed Brian on the lips. Not more then two seconds later, Bilkens and Markham walked in with Monica. Everyone took their seats and started to talk.
Monica said. " This deal Verone says is his biggest and hopefully his last so we have to get him. It's a shuffling between his product and the buyers who are willing to pay a lot of money. Everything is taking place at his compound. Your job would be to transfer the amount of money from his compound to some location he hasn't told me yet. The island and the compound not far off is pretty big so I'm guessing its from one place to another." Monica explained to both Joey and Brian.
" Sounds like a plan." Joey said as she thought it all over, the details of what they knew and what had to be done for the case but not far from her mind was her plains and what she was going to do.
Monica turned to Markham. " Carter wants Joey and Brian on the job but he also needs more drivers, it's a big operation." She explained.
" When does he plan on leaving to the compound?" Bilkens asked.
" Two or three days." Monica said.
" We're going to need to get someone one on our side to fill the positions so we have a little more on our side." Markham thought out loud.
" They need to be good drivers." Bilkens pointed out.
" I got an idea." Joey said as she watched everyone stop talking and face her. " We need go drivers and people we can trust, I know some people." She explained.
" We're desperate. Who ever you find that you trust with your life and is willing to do it, bring them in tomorrow and we'll see what happens next." Markham explained.
Both Brian and Joey left because they weren't needed anymore. In the car Brian finally asked. " Who do you have in mind to ask?"
" You're not going to like it but I plan on asking Letty, Leon, Vince and Dom." Joey said as she turned from the window and looked at Brian.
" You and Dom are barely speaking to each other, he doesn't trust you from what you've told me. What makes you sure he'll say yes?" Brian asked as he kept his eyes focused on the rode.
" Once I explain something's to him, he'll say yes because he'll understand." Joey thought out loud almost forgetting Brian was sitting right next to her.
" Understand what?"
" It's nothing for you to worry about." Joey said almost feeling guilty for not trusting Brian enough to tell him the truth but she decided to worry about that later on.
Brian pulled up to Joeys shop and she explained to him she'll see him later because there was some stuff she had to take care of. Once he drove away, Joey hopped into her car and drove to the hotel Mia told her everyone was staying at.
Joey drove as fast as she can, there was something in her veins just pushing her over the edge. She needed to get to Dom and talk to him because if anyone understood what was going on, it was him.
Joey parked her car and quickly went up to Dom's room where he and everyone else was hanging out.
" I'll get it." Dom said as he heard the knock and he was the closets to the door.
" We really need to talk."
