Chapter 2

Sue sat there nervously twiddling her thumbs. Sending a quiet yet sincere prayer up to God she waited for a few minutes and soon in that time an answer came to her. Looking at the men around her she nodded her head and said.

"Yes I am willing. I know I am not alone I am never alone"

"Good then we shall begin" said the Director motioning for the tall stranger to step forward. Sue now noticed that his features were handsome and rugged. He was at least 6foot 3inches in height and she could tell he was man who looked after his body. Finely toned muscles could be seen underneath the suit as he moved and short raven hair lined his scalp and dark stubble crossed his chin. His striking dark eyes bounced off his olive skin. Sue had images of women fawning over him and she smiled as she imagined how Lucy would react around such a man.

"This is Agent Jethro D'nozzio"

"Jett" he said a smooth voice that Sue was unable to hear as he held out his hand. Sue took it and felt his firm yet gentle grip.

"Jett is an agent with the Las Vegas office, specialising in undercover ops."

Sue nodded her understanding.

"He has been assigned to this case due to his brilliance at deep undercover work and we would like for the two of you to work together."

Sue stared at him with a furrow brow as she waited in anticipation of what was going to come next.

"Over recently months, the New York and Boston field offices have experienced evident problems with a mole/leak within them. So far this mole or moles have killed three civilians, two agents and one man under witness protection. We suspect a ring of them operating between the two offices. The cases that have had the leaks have been joint ones. What we are looking for is for someone to infiltrate them and that is where you two come into place. You see we have our suspicious of whom they are and we can get you two close to them."

He stopped to take a deep cleansing breath.

"This is our plan. Jett you are going in as a new agent reassigned from Nevada due to previous problems within your team and Sue you are going to be his devoted wife. Jett we need you to make contact with this man, his name is Leonard Markson and we suspect him as being a weak link. And Sue this may sound poor but we need you to make friends with the other agents wives. We all know how men came boast."

"Sir about my deafness"

"Jett is fluent is ASL and BSL and we would prefer if you kept that quiet and use your lip reading skills unknowingly by others."

"What about work here?" Sue added.

"I am afraid you are going to have to go out in a bang. You will have to resign, for the only people who will know differently are those in this room right now. You will marry Jett on the spur of the moment while on vacation in Las Vegas after your resignation. And you will play a bitter ex employee of the bureau. Is that clear?"

"Crystal sir" answered Jett

"Yes sir" replied Sue.

"One last note Miss Thomas once this is all over and done with you can resume your old job here if you so desire. This plan will commence tomorrow morning with Jett back in Las Vegas and with Sue storming out of Agent Garrett office. Be here at 9am sharp. Good bye"

With that final statement Sue rose and with Levi at her heels left. Her mind was reeling and her heart was thumping as she entered the bullpen.

Jack smiled broadly as she entered the room. His day just got ten times better.

Weakly she smiled back and walked over to her seat and sat down keeping her eyes averted from everyone else's. Her mind was still reeling with what she had to do and she did not know if she was strong enough.

'Father, help me to be as strong as you need me to be.' She prayed silently as she stared at her screen in front of her. Her paperwork seemed futile now, in fact the whole day did….
