Everyone met with Markham and Bilkens, once everything was cleared. They headed to the airport and met up with Verone and Monica to broad their private jet. Everything was happening so fast but it was what everyone knew was going to happen, just remain calm was all they had to do and everything should go smooth.

The plain ride wasn't long. Much wasn't spoken of, they talked about the job for Verone. Verone explained some of the island, it was pretty peaceful. But Joey wasn't at peace she had her mind full on what was happening, what needed to happen. Verone's charm didn't fool her, she knew the kind of monster he was.

Once they were off the plain, Monica and Cater went their way. Cater explained where everyone would be staying, the whole 15th floor of the hotel he owned belonged to them. Then he and Monica left to their own private villa.

" This is like the best job I've ever had." Leon remarked. " Did you see that beach?" He asked.

" There's beaches in Miami." Joey pointed out, she couldn't hide her sour mood but almost everyone understood why she was a bit down.

" Not like this." Vince chimed in.

" You guys ain't looking at the beaches and the ocean, you're looking at the ass all over the place." Letty said as she stood next to Dom.

" Let's head up to your rooms." Dom said before the conversion went another way. Every time they started talking about girls it always put Letty is a feisty mood because she didn't like the idea of other girls around her fiancé'.

No one said anything they all headed upstairs. There was enough rooms for everyone to have their own. Letty and Dom stayed together and Brian took the room right next to Joey. The two rooms had a adjoining doors.

Joey sat on the edge of the queen size bed. It was a great hotel room, lots of space, a clear view of the ocean. She left the only suitcase she packed in the corner of the room, she had no intention of un-packing.

She laid back on the bed. She had to think of a plan to nail Verone to a wall, they had to get him this time, he couldn't slip away like before. Joey closed her eyes, she hated thinking about before, before was heartache and pure pain.

A soft knock on the door pulled her out of those dark thoughts, she sat up. Come in." Joey said, then in walked Letty.



" So how you feeling?" Letty asked as she sat beside Joey on the bed.

" I'm fine, not as giddy as the boys but I'm fine." Joey explained.

" We've been friends for a long time. I know you pretty well, what's going on with you and Brian?" Letty asked as she folded her hands over her lap.

" I might be falling in love with him." Was all Joey said. She needed to talk to someone and Letty was perfect for it.

" Whoa." Letty said with shock in her voice. " I thought you were just sleeping together." She said.

" Yeah, that too." Joey said slowly nodding.

" Oh well ok." Letty said. " I hear something behind it, what's going on?"

" Mia. She's gonna hate me. When she thought something was happening she blew up now that something is happening and getting a little deep, she's going to blow something." Joey explained with the bitterness in her voice. She didn't want Mia to be disappointed but she would be.

" Don't worry about Mia, she'll deal. It's time for you to finally be happy honey and if Brian's it, go for it." Letty said as she placed a hand on Joey's shoulder. " I need to get back, we're going down to the beach." She explained as she stood up.

" Have fun." Joey said as Letty left.

There was another knock but from the door to Brian's room, he walked in, Joey smiled. " What's up?" she asked.

" I talked with Monica, Verone wants us to met him in half hour. Didn't give much details." Brian explained as he sat beside her.

" Everyone went done to the beach, I'll go fill them in a little later." Joey said.

Brian looked into her eyes. " What's wrong? You look a little drained out."

Joey cracked a smile. " I'm fine, I guess the case is just taking it's toll. I want this over with already." She explained. And that was the truth. She was tiered of Carter Verone, she wanted him to pay already.

" It will be." Brian said as he rubbed his hand up and down her back.

Joey rested her head on his shoulder. She felt so comfortable with him and it felt right. Nothings ever really felt right in her life, that's why her job of living different life's were so easy. But those small thrillers of catching the bad guy weren't enough, Joey wanted to be happy and wanted to be in love, she was all of that with Brian.

" This shouldn't take long." Joey said after awhile. "If everything goes right."

" Verone on some level trusts Monica and what she thinks. He's not thinking we're closing in on him. It's going to end here with him." Brian said as he tightened his grip around her waist. He knew this case meant something to her, she was emotionally evolved. He didn't want to push for answers, he knew when she's was ready, she'd tell him.

" I hope you're right." Joey softly said.

They stayed in each other's arms for another fifteen minutes then headed down stairs to gather everyone up and explained what was going on. Once everyone was changed and ready, they met in the hall way then head to meet Verone as a group.

" Just in time." Verone said as they made their way to the table he sat at with Monica. Everyone sat at the same large table before Verone continued. " I hope you're enjoying your stay. I want you to meet the hotel manager, if you need anything, you let him know. He should be here any minute." He explained as he glanced around the area for the hotel manger as well as one of his employee's for other more illegal reasons.

Joey looked down at the table, she didn't want anyone to see how bad she did not want to be there. Where she heard Verone say. " Here he is." She looked up and her heart stopped.

" Jason."
