Bobby had to do something to get Dani back but he wasn't sure what that would be. So he released his grip but still maintained his character.

"Dani? Who's Dani?" Bobby turned to look toward the general vicinity of the voice.

A man, approximately 40, just a little shorter that Bobby appeared from the gloom. Dani had yet to take her eyes off of him. He walked up to Dani and yanked the red wig from her head.

"She's Dani," the voice said to Bobby. Dani still had not spoken since the appearance of this individual.

"Dani, CT, I don't really care what the name is. I just know she's good in bed." Goren laughed lewdly, "It's the only reason I keep her around."

That snapped Dani out of it. She turned to glare at Bobby and then back at the man. "I thought you were still in Houston, Jake." She walked up to him and slapped him hard across the face. "Ever hear about not blowing someone's cover?"

Jake Wills, Dani's partner from Houston. Goren now knew why Dani had reacted as she did. The undercover cop from Texas had still held hope that her partner wasn't involved. His appearance, especially like this, confirmed he was truly a part of the operation. Unfortunately, for Bobby, here's where things got dicey. Deep down, he believed Dani was trustworthy but when it came to a partner, you would do just about anything for them. He knew from personal experience how Eames had gone to bat for him, too many times. And no one could really say the Tates' thing was on the up and up. He knew Dani Cantrell was going to be conflicted. Let's just hope she makes the right choices, Goren thought.

Jake Wills rocked backward from the force of Dani's hit. He turned back quickly and grabbed her arm, pinning it up painfully behind her back. It took every ounce of Goren's will not to cold-cock the son of a bitch but he knew, for both his and Dani's sake, he couldn't.

"That's not a very nice way to greet your long lost partner, now, is it?" Jake ground out, continuing to apply pressure to Dani's arm. Finally, he forced her to her knees before letting her go.

Dani grabbed her arm, trying to rub away the pain. She started to stand but Jake pulled his gun and put it to her head. "I think you're in the best place for right now."

Dani froze, remaining on her knees between Bobby and Jake. Jake then turned to face Bobby, who had been quietly observing the action the whole time.

"Man after my own heart," Bobby spoke. "Someone who knows how to make a woman behave." And the two men shared a laugh.

"Jake Wills," he said, extending his hand. "Got a name?"

Bobby shook the proffered hand and looked down at Dani, "Sugar works just fine, for now." Bobby smiled.

Jake laughed. "Playing it safe, I see. Gotta like that, don't you, Dani?" Jake again shoved his gun against Dani's head. From where she knelt on the floor, she glared up at Jake.

"You can let me up, you know." She said venomously.

"I don't think so," was Jake's simple reply. "Still not quite sure which side you're playing, Dani. Until I'm certain, I like it where I can keep an eye…"he paused for effect, "and a gun on you."

It was Bobby's turn to pick up the action. It was obvious Dani had done all that she was going to be allowed to do. If they were going to make the case, it was going to fall to Goren.

"So, enough of this distraction," Bobby said the word meaningfully, looking at Dani. "Let's get down to business."

Jake nodded and smiled. "You got the money?"

Goren nodded and patted the briefcase that he'd been carrying since they entered the alley what seemed like hours ago.

"You got the product?"

Jake Wills smiled. "I don't but my associate does."

From where she was, still on her knees, Dani turned to watch Brad Nettles, her NYPD contact suddenly appear. He walked over to Bobby and, after sitting down his large briefcase, he extended his hand.

"Brad."

Jake smiled and turned to the man who was obviously calling the shots, "He prefers 'Sugar'."

Brad chuckled. He had heard from Wills that that was Dani/CT's favorite term of address for her johns when she was working undercover. He turned to Dani, still on her knees, between Goren and Wills. "I can't believe you were as gullible as Jake said and yet, here you are, and you brought your money man all the way up from Laredo." He paused and patted Dani on the head like a prized pet, "Good girl."

Dani bristled under the attention but felt the gun press again, this time, at the base of her neck. Wills leaned down and whispered, "Don't do anything stupid, Dani. This will all be over soon. If you play your cards right, maybe Sugar there will keep you around. You've obviously been generous with him." Jake pulled back her shirt, exposing the bruising around her neck.

Bobby spoke again, "She might continue to serve a purpose but, again, we focus on a worthless piece of ass and not on the subject at hand. You've seen my merchandise. I have yet to see yours." Goren motioned meaningfully at the suitcase before Wills and Nettles feet.

Nettles picked up the case and opened it, revealing several kilos of pure cocaine. Bobby took one of the bags and unsealed it, the evidence tape clear on the back of the bag. He tasted it and smiled. He placed the bag back in the case and looked to Nettles. "You can get more, that quality?"

Nettles smiled and nodded. "If you can get more, that quantity." And he pointed to Bobby's briefcase, full of strapped bills.

Outside, in the van, Eames and her team had found the limo and the warehouse around ten to fifteen minute after Dani and Bobby had entered. Still listening in, she had heard the by play with Dani and Wills, her former partner. Alex hated that Dani had to find out this way that a man she trusted was no good but, sometimes, there just was no good way. When Alex heard the exchange go down, she motioned for her team to get armed. Slowly, the members in the vans began to file out, surrounding the warehouse. They quickly found the back entrance. With one half in back and one half in front, they waited for Dani's code words. For Alex, this was the moment of truth. They would know shortly, for sure, which side Dani was on.

Bobby finally made meaningful eye contact with Dani. Dani looked up at Nettles and Wills before looking back at Bobby. Then, she smiled, "Well, darlin', I guess that just about does it."

From her vantage point outside the warehouse, Alex heard the words. She smiled and then gave the signal. Agents burst through the front and back of the warehouse, yelling identification, calling for weapons to be dropped. The scene was loud and chaotic.

When Dani had called Bobby, darlin', his trust was rewarded. He turned, still in character, looking shocked at the agents coming in from all angles. Alex ran in, gun drawn, pointed in the direction of Bobby and the other three.

Nettles response was instant. He had turned at the sound of men coming through the back and tried to run but he was quickly surrounded. He then tried to identify himself as undercover NYPD but the agents from Internal Affairs had him subdued immediately.

Jake also thought to run. He cursed Dani where she still knelt before him. But before he could get away, Dani had simply moved Goren's briefcase under his feet and effectively tripped him. The DEA agents had Wills cuffed and hauled him out.

Bobby bent to help Dani up from her position on the ground. As she reached up for his hand, Dani caught the unmistakable reflection of light off steel, just slightly behind Goren. In one motion she pulled Bobby forward and rolled, exposing her back to the shooter. The bullet hit Dani in the shoulder. Eames, with her weapon still drawn, turned at the sound of the shot and squeezed off two rounds. Goren and Eames both heard the clatter of metal hitting the ground and the unmistakable thud of body as it followed the gun. Other agents from IA and the DEA quickly surround the three cops, looking for other shooters who might still be in the building.

Bobby wrapped his arms around Dani's petite waist and gently rolled her over, easing himself up in the process. He heard her groan in protest.

"What were you thinking?" he gently chided, "I'm wearing the vest, Dani."

Alex was already calling for an ambulance. Once she confirmed their response, she also knelt beside the semi-conscious police officer. She saw Dani's weak smile and slight shrug when she responded, "I promised your captain you wouldn't get shot."

Bobby shook his head as Alex chuckled. "Damn, this hurts." Dani whined.

Bobby was still holding Dani and knew instantly when she started to go into shock. He spoke sharply, "Dani, stay awake. That's an order, damn it. Stay awake."

He looked up at Eames who went to check for the ambulance. Bobby continued to hold Dani and shout at her. She opened her eyes one last time and spoke, "Sorry."

Dani passed out in Bobby's arms.
