Dean-
Waking up, I couldn't stop thinking about Lucia. I got dressed. Randy had called the house and said to report to the meeting room. Getting to the room. Graves's team was in there too. Fernandez walked in and sat down. He gestured for all of us to sit.
"The Sinaloa cartel want revenge as well. They'll be taking it without mercy. Whether on us or the CIA, that's not clear. The most important thing now, is making sure Lucia is safe and away from here", he said.
"What team will be with her?", Graves asked.
"I think it should be Ambrose's team. She's taken a liking to them and she'll be comfortable", Randy suggested.
Her dad nodded. Looking at us.
"Your choice where to take her. Keep that to yourselves, no one else knows where you're heading. Randy will contact you when it's okay to come home", he said.
"Yes sir", I said.
"Now Alberto's burial will be tomorrow", he said.
"I'll call Mark Henry's team down. We'll need them for backup", Hunter said.
"I'll call Big Show. I'm sure being close to Alberto, he'll want to be here", Corbin said.
Fernandez nodded.
"I'll be taking a quick trip to Cancun and I'll be back tomorrow morning in time for Alberto's funeral", he said, before getting up.
Randy's team followed. Graves approached me.
"We can take her today. Since you're going with Lucia. We can take her till after the funeral", he said.
"Yeah. Gives us enough time to catch up on sleep and figure out where we're taking her", Seth said.
Graves nodded. I stopped Seth.
"I'm gonna check on Lucia", I said.
He nodded. I went up to her room and knocked lightly. Ana opened the door. She smiled, I noticed Lucia's room was clean.
"I'll give you a minute", Ana said.
I closed the door behind her. Seeing Lucia in bed.
"Lucia", I said softly.
She looked at me. She rushed over and hugged me tight. I wrapped my arms around her. I kissed the top of her head.
"I didn't know Vinny was the one who", I stopped.
"I didn't know Alberto had found him. He must have hidden in Italy", she said.
I cupped her face.
"I know it's not the time to discuss this, but for your safety, your dad wants you out of here. I was thinking maybe Italy", I said.
Her hands were in mine. I locked our fingers together. She nodded.
"Sounds good. How long is this trip? Do you know?", she asked.
"No I don't, but I'll make sure it's a good trip for you", I said.
She smiled at me. She got on her tippy toes and kissed my cheek.
"You're a good man", she whispered near my ear.
Going back down, her hands left mine.
"I'll start packing", she said.
I nodded.
"I'll leave you to it then", I said.
I left her room. I looked at Graves.
"If she needs anything let me know", I said.
"Yes sir, this time I will", he said.
I went back to our house. Seth was on the CIA computer with Denise.
"So where are we heading?", Roman asked.
"Italy", I said.
"I'll book everything", Seth said.
Randy had given us a credit card, so when Lucia went shopping or out to eat. Sitting down at the table with Roman.
"Whats up Jon?", he asked.
I raised a brow.
"You only drum your fingers on the table and bounce your leg like that when you're nervous or have something on your mind that bugs you", he said.
I nodded.
"I don't know how much longer I can control my feelings", I said.
"This isn't like you. Jonathan Good having feelings. Shit, I didn't even think you could do that", he said smirking.
I chuckled.
"I know the rules, but I don't know. It's just so easy with her and I've never met anyone like her", I said.
"Then do something about it", Roman said shrugging.
"But you", he stopped me.
"I changed my mind. Do what you think is right. Follow your heart", he said.
I nodded. He got up and walked over to where Seth was. I was going to do just that.
