Edgar drove the team to the cafe where he hoped for a smooth meeting with Elena but he knew better than to plan for that. They dropped Sabina off a block before the location so she could grab her vantage point.
"Sab," Jane called out, "Have you been practicing the protocol codes during a mission?"
Adley looked away to hide her laugh because Jane and Sabina were such polar opposites. Sabina stuck out her tongue before she turned and walked away from the SUV.
Adley pulled up to the cafe and dropped off Edgar and Jane so they could take their positions. "I'll be parked right across the street if things get out of hand," Adley added before they were out of earshot.
Edgar raised his hand in the air to wave away her comments, always the optimist.
Once they were clear, Adley pulled away from the curb and drove around the block once before moving into a spot they had coned off earlier that day. She checked her line of sight to ensure she could see Edgar's seat clearly and then sat back to listen to Jane and Sabina argue over their comms, trying not to get lost in her own thoughts.
As Adley was looking out the windshield to see Elena enter the cafe and wait for Edgar's signal, she heard the passenger side door open. Adley had her gun in her hand with the safety pulled and aimed before the intruder had one leg in the vehicle.
"Settle down, Angel," she recognized Bos' familiar voice as he came fully into view and she lowered her gun, "You wanted to talk?" he asked as if they hadn't just gone six weeks with radio silence.
Adley sighed, trying to contain her urge to wrap her arms around him, "You could have texted back instead of scaring me," she noted while she turned off her mic so she would be able to hear the others but they couldn't hear her.
He reached out and placed his hand on top of hers where she had it resting on the gear shift, "I'm terribly sorry, my dear," his tone was genuine, "I'm afraid there might be something unethical going on within the agency and I wanted to make sure you were staying safe. And, I also wanted to know what you wanted to discuss," he added, making sure she knew how much he valued her.
Adley shook her head, not sure where to start after what he'd said, "What do you mean by something unethical?"
Before Bosley elaborated, he leaned forward, grasping her neck in his free hand and placed his lips to hers leaving her breathless.
"We don't have the luxury of time," he began wishing he could take that kiss further, "I believe there is a mole and I'm doing my best to uncover the truth. In the meantime, you must promise me you'll stay safe. Be extra cautious of everyone around you, including me," he paused to wait for a response. She gave him a nod so he continued, "Now, what is it you wanted to share?"
Adley looked down for a moment to gather her thoughts before resuming eye contact with the love of her life, rules be damned. "It's funny that you are here to make sure I stay extra safe because I'm pregnant," she revealed and watched his expression closely as he took in her news.
Bosley was about to respond to the bombshell Adley had just dropped but they were interrupted when gunfire erupted inside the cafe.
Bos leaned in and stole one more quick kiss, "We'll speak more soon. Be safe," and then he was gone just as quickly as he'd appeared.
