Eames got her wish the next morning and actually got to sleep late. It was almost 11:00 when everyone started moving around. Then things began to happen fast. The guys that would be monitoring the sting with Alex called to see if she wanted to meet and go over the logistics for the night. Bobby and Dani reviewed a few more of the case files, including some new intel provided by the DEA. The three got back together for a late dinner out at a restaurant around the corner from Bobby's apartment. When they returned, it was time to suit up. Dani was in Bobby's bedroom dressing, while he and Alex covered a few last minute details. Bobby looked up as Dani appeared from the back of the apartment, his words stopping mid-phrase.

"My god, Dani." Was all Bobby could say.

"What?" Dani looked innocently. She was dressed in a skin-tight black cat suit with a front zipper. The zipper stopped just under her breasts and the suit opened to reveal a black silk bustierre. If Goren had any doubts as to Dani's physique, it was clearly displayed. The suit clung to proportionate curves, flat stomach, and a butt JLo would be proud of. The black also failed to de-emphasize her ample bust line.

Alex watched Goren's reaction. He had been around pretty women before but the look on his face was priceless. She wanted to laugh. She also wanted to slap the shit out of him. "Close your mouth, Goren. You're drooling." Eames settled for sarcasm.

Bobby stood and walked up to Dani. He turned her around to get the full view. "Where do you put a weapon in a suit like that?" he asked, seriously.

From where she sat, Alex saw Dani smile. She smiled back as the two girls made eye contact. Eames answered, "You don't."

Goren turned, confused, "How are you going to protect yourself?"

"I'm not. You're going to protect me." Dani answered matter of fact. "How would it look if I didn't trust the big bad drug dealer to take care of me?"

Goren considered the answer and knew it made sense. "Well, then, the big bad drug dealer better go get dressed himself." And he passed Dani, headed back to the bedroom.

Eames pulled the receiver from her bag and helped Dani place the small ear piece and receiver wire in the collar of the suit. Dani's red wig hid the equipment nicely. "Speak in your normal voice, and we'll hear everything," Alex instructed. "If Bobby needs to communicate something specific, he can whisper in your ear, as if he's being intimate. I think…wow." Alex finished, looking up as Bobby entered the room.

"Wow?" Dani asked, looking at Alex. She saw the expression on her face and turned to see what had distracted her. "Wow is right." Dani exclaimed.

Robert Goren had always had the ability to dress sharply. He was a large man and suits had always helped hide the girth. Alex had seen all of Bobby's suits, or so she thought. But here stood her partner in a black silk suit. From the cut, it was tailored and expensive. He had paired it with a grey collarless silk t-shirt. Bobby had shaved and slicked back his usually unruly curls. After his mother passed, Bobby had let himself go, physically. Only recently had he made an effort to watch his weight and work out. He wasn't quite the partner Alex had started with but he was much better than the one who had so recently been out of control.

"You've been holding out on me, Goren." Alex accused.

Bobby smiled. He had let both women take in his appearance, actually enjoying the head-to-toe inspection and admiring glances Dani and Alex had given him. "You don't know everything, Eames."

Dani smiled. She turned to Alex, "You got any gum?"

"Sure," Alex reached in her bag and produced the requested gum. Dani took it and began to smack. She then turned back to Bobby and smiled, looking very much like the black cat in that suit she was wearing. When she spoke, Bobby knew the game was on.

"Well, damn, sugar." The sickly sweet Southern drawl he had first heard in the alley was back; the word 'damn' said in at least four syllables. "You look good enough to eat." Dani swayed over to Bobby and seductively ran her hands up the front of his chest and over his shoulders. Goren reached out and took Dani by the hips, pulling her roughly up against him. He lowered his head and acted as if he were going to kiss her neck, running his hands up and over her breasts. Dani purred again, "Keep that up, sugar, and I'll have to take you back to that bedroom and undo all the good you've done."

Alex had had enough. "I'm either going to be sick or have to go take a shower if you two keep that up."

Bobby smiled as he released Dani. All trace of the accent was gone when she asked, "That work?"

Bobby nodded, "That'll work." Dani had stepped into character, just as she promised, never flinching from Goren's hands and suggestive manner. He knew this partner was ready for the game.

They all exited the apartment and went downstairs. Alex left first, walking to the corner where the surveillance van was parked. Bobby escorted Dani to a black convertible; very much a muscle car.

Dani whistled, "What a car! You have been holding out, Goren."

Goren shook his head, "Belongs to a friend who remodels cars. He'll kill me if anything happens to it."

Dani got in and they drove around for awhile, making sure they were spotted by the right people. Goren pulled the car over, near the site for their meet. Bobby stopped Dani before she got out, "I want to make sure we're clear on something."

"Okay," Dani answered warily.

"The relationship between you and me, as far as your contact's concerned, it's pretty physical, right?"

Dani nodded. "These guys understand that, to you, I'm just a piece of ass that happens to have good connections. Some of these dealers are Hispanic, so they're going to respect a little male machismo with the ladies."

"You okay with that?" Bobby asked, making sure Dani understood exactly what he meant.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." And with that she got out of the car and made her way down the alley to meet with her connection.

Goren picked up the two way and contacted Eames in the van, "She's on her way."

"Okay," Alex answered back, "I'm listening. If she needs you, I'll know."

"I trust you, Alex. I always do." Goren smiled into the two way. Then he sat back and waited.
