Jessica smiled as she drove away from the Lux Atlantic. The meeting had gone well. Eventually, she would have to tell Lisa the truth…eventually. She jumped as her cell phone rang. "Hello?"

"Hey, gorgeous! How's Miami?"

"Sunny." She replied with a laugh. She instantly recognized Riley's voice. "But it would be better if you were here."

Riley laughed. "What…? You can't actually miss me."

"You know I miss you, Riley Finn."

He laughed again. "Well then, I've got great news for you."

"Really? What is it?"

"I'll be in Miami soon."

"When?"

"How does three hours from now work for you?"

"Riley, I swear if you are messing with me…"

"Relax; I really am on a plane to Miami. I'll be at the airport in a little over three hours."

"And I'll be there waiting."

"Will I get a kiss when I get there?"

"I don't know." Jessica said playfully.

"Jess, don't be cruel."

Jessica laughed as she pulled into the driveway. Her brother's Jeep was in the garage, but another car was parked behind it. "Listen, Riley, I have to go. I can't wait to see you."

"I'll call you when I get off the plane."

"Sounds like a plan. I love you!"

"I love you too! Bye."

"Bye." She said as she hung up the phone. She parked her car and cautiously went inside. She would take her cue from Jackson on which identity to use. "Hello?"

"Jess, you're home. We're in the living room."

Jessica set down her purse and car keys and went to join Jackson and his guest. When she entered the living room, a well dressed man stood up with a smile. Jackson walked over to his sister and put his arms around her. He was beaming. "Jess, I'd like you to meet my lawyer."

Jessica's calm expression turned to one of alarm. "Your lawyer! Jackson, what the hell is going on?"

The lawyer stepped forward and extended his hand. "Miss Rippner, my name is Lindsey McDonald. I'm here to ensure that no charges will be made against your brother, ever." He said with a smile that rivaled Jackson's.

Jessica shook his hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. McDonald."

"I assure you, the pleasure is entirely mine. And please, call me Lindsey."

After he hung up, Riley turned to the woman sitting next to him. "Sorry, Sam, I had to let my girlfriend know I'm on my way to Miami. What were you saying?"

She turned towards him. "Riley, you were one of the initiative's best agents. Now the government wants you back."

Riley was stunned. "They want me back? Are you kidding me?"

Sam shook her head. "No joke, we want you back. We need you to come back." She said pleadingly.

Riley ran his fingers through his hair. "What kind of work would I be doing?"

"You'd be working with various groups, CIA, FBI, NSA, etc. You'd be using your knowledge of Sunnydale's 'supernatural' occurrences to help the government deal with similar instances all over the world. Are you up to it?"

Riley sighed. "I need to talk to my girlfriend. I'd like her input."

Sam shook her head. "I'm afraid that isn't possible. This assignment is top secret. The public cannot know of it's existence."

"So what are you suggesting?"

"We suggest that you break it off with your girlfriend. It would be ideal for you to live at the training base."

"I'm going to talk to Jessica. I won't give her specifics, but I owe her at least part of the truth. It's that or no deal."

"Fine. Here's a cell phone. I'm your contact. Only call me using that phone. Keep it with you at all times."
