Lexi biked happily back to Graceland after a very productive and successful session at the firing range. Her aim was getting better everyday and she couldn't wait to start training next month at the police academy. Lexi locked her bike up and headed inside.
"Hey Mike." Lexi said bouncing into the kitchen and snatching up an apple.
"Hey yourself." Mike greeted her.
"Hello Agent Warren." A voice said.
Mike and Lexi both turned around to see a women in a power suit sitting in the living room.
"Jess." Mike said in surprise. They hugged. "Umm this is-"
"Alexia Petrova." She said. "I've read a lot about you."
"Its Banks now.. Lexi Banks." Lexi said. She felt a little weird.
"It's nice to meet you Lexi." Jess said.
"Nice to meet you too." Lexi answered.
Just then Paige came down stairs and that's when things got really weird. Eventually everyone came down for breakfast and it was revealed that Jess would be taking over Mike's operation. Lexi didn't like this.
Lexi knocked on Johnny's bedroom door.
"Come in." Johnny called from the other side of the door.
"Hey Tie-Die!" He said when she walked in.
"So." Lexi said with a koi smile.
"So?" Johnny said.
"How did it feel?" Lexi said. Gesturing with her hands for him to keep going.
"When I fell from Heaven?" Johnny finished teasingly.
Lexi picked up one of his pillows from his bed and threw it at him. "Nooo, when you punched Carlito in the face!"
"Oh that." Johnny said smirking playfully.
"Yeah that." Lexi said with a playful smirk back. "Come on, it had to feel a little good. I wanna punch the guy and I haven't even met him! Haha."
Johnny chuckled and sat down on his bed. "Yeah it did feel pretty damn good now that I think about it."
Lexi chuckled too and sat down beside him. "So how you gonna get back in his good graces?"
"That one I haven't figured out yet." Johnny said.
"Well let me know when you do." Lexi said giving Johnny a fist bump
Before she left she turned back around to ask a question. "Hey Johnny?"
"Yeah?" Johnny said.
"If any guy tried to put his hands on me, would you do to them what you did to Carlito?" Lexi said.
"You bet." Johnny said warmly.
Lexi smiled.
Lexi was walking from the shower to her room when she heard arguing coming from Paige's room. Lexi knew it was wrong to eavesdrop but she heard mention of the girls and was desperate to know what was going on. So she listened.
She didn't like what she heard though... She and Paige had lost their operation. Lexi slowly got ready for bed as she thought about the girls... they were her age or younger... all alone and scared... having not a clue what they were being sold into. Lexi couldn't let this happen anymore. She wouldn't let these girls go through the same torcheres life she had once led. It was time to put her plan into action.
It was the middle of the night when Lexi got out of bed and slipped on some clothes. She looked at the picture of her mom, the team, and the pictures of Lauren and Donnie on her night stand. She knew her plan was dangerous and reckless.. and possible a little bit stupid, but she had to do it. It was her job. It was who she was. Lexi placed an envelope addressed to Paige on her bed. As she was about to slip downstairs, she saw Mike standing in Paige's Room. she took a few silent steps back until she was out of sight.
"I told her my heart was someplace else." Mike said to Paige before he went to his room.
When he was gone, Lexi slipped out of the house.
"We have a problem." Paige said coming into the kitchen the next morning. She sounded stressed and desperate.
"What's up?" Charlie said.
"Lexi's gone after the smugglers." Paige said.
"What?" Mike said.
"She left me a note. She's setting her self up to be a tinker bell. She's going back to being Alexia Petrova." Paige spat out. She looked as if she was about to cry.
"Oh my God.. is she crazy!? If they're familiar with the Petrova family who knows what they'll do to her!" Charlie said frantically.
"And even if they aren't it's still dangerous... and just being being back in that kind of environment..." Paige said. She was upset and slightly irate now.
Mike was so afraid but at the same time he couldn't help admire the young girl's courage and strength. "Alright...I'm overriding Jess's decision.. Paige, you and Jakes are back on."
Paige stood there in the bathroom, a dead girl at her feet. She heard a car driving up outside. Paige knew what she had to do. She radioed into Jakes, telling him she was going to take the girl's place. She stashed the body in an empty stall and swallowed one of the balloons as a knock came at the door. She had to find these girls... and she had to find Lexi.
