Dean-
I was running down the empty road, alone. Running helped me think and clear my head. Seeing as its been ten months since I've been stabbed, almost bled out. I was supposed to be taking it easy, but sitting at home just wasn't my style. It was nerve wrecking sitting around not doing anything. Working undercover has its disadvantages, but I loved it. The adrenaline running through you when it goes bad. I missed that kind of excitement.
I stopped when a car pulled up to me. The window lowered.
"Hey man", Colby said.
"What's up", I replied, hands on my hips.
"Its been a few months. How have you been?", he asked.
I shrugged.
"Usual, just itching to get back to work you know. I'm so fucking bored. Where have you been?", I asked.
"Had a job in Italy", he said.
I nodded.
"And Joe?", I asked.
"Joe still might be there, heard he was coming back today though", he said.
He smirked.
"What?", I asked.
"I thought maybe I'd get to your place and find you with some random chick. Any luck in that department?", he asked.
I'm just trying to get back to work Colby", I said.
I brushed my fingers through my sweaty hair.
"Did you come and check on me?", I asked.
"Just missed you brother, it's not the same without you", he said.
I nodded.
"There's another reason I'm here though", he said.
I waited for him to continue.
"They're letting you come back for this. Vacation's over Jon", he said smirking.
"About fucking time", I said.
I opened the door to his car and got in. We drove to the CIA borrowed offices. Getting inside, almost everyone hugged me or patted my shoulder. I was glad to be back.
"Damn Jon, its been too fucking long", Joe came towards me.
I hadn't seen him for almost six months, he was deep undercover.
"I thought you were in Italy?", I asked, as he hugged me.
"My target was killed. That's why we had you called in", he said, his tone serious.
"Gentlemen, Denise will see you now", Nikki Cross said.
We followed her. I was still in my black muscle shirt and grey basketball shorts. Walking into an office, Denise smiled while getting ready to give us our orders.
"Sit down please", she said.
We did. She slid us each five folders. Each getting a copy of our targets.
"The black folder contains information on Jose Fernandez", she said.
"He runs the biggest drug cartel in Mexico", Colby said.
She nodded.
"A few weeks ago he was seen in Italy. The day Joe's target was murdered in fact", she said.
"Vinny had told me he was meeting him and another man to make a deal. Whether it was a drugs or guns deal, I don't know. He didn't get a chance to tell me", Joe said.
Colby and I nodded. She looked at me.
"I need three guys for this job. Joe and Colby said they'd do it as long as you were the third guy. So, are you ready to get back to work Jon?", Denise asked.
"More than ready", I said.
"Good, let's get started then", she said.
We nodded.
"The three yellow files contain information on three other undercover agents. Randy, Hunter, and Kane", she said, pressing a button on a small remote.
The pictures popping up on a screen behind her.
"They've been deep under for two almost three years. Jose is finally letting them move up to be his bodyguards. It gets them closer to the drug and gun deals.", she said.
"How do you know these guys haven't turned?", I asked.
"Because they're still sending information. We trust them", she said.
I nodded.
"The blue file is what you'll be protecting. Something very special to Fernandez", she said, before clicking her romote to change the photo on the screen.
A picture of a girl popped up. She was pretty, long wavy dark brown hair, that matched perfectly with her dark brown eyes. Curvy, thin frame.
"Her name's Lucia. She's turning twenty one soon. Still under dad's supervision, for obvious reasons. She's tried to run away, but he always finds her", she said.
"The other three agents are her guards?", Joe asked.
"Yes, this is where you three come in. He needs new guards for her", she said.
"I'm sure we can't just walk into his house and say I want to guard your daughter", I said.
She laughed.
"Hunter is setting up a meeting at this fight club in Tijuana. It's where Fernandez found them. He's hoping to have luck there again. We need you to show him you can fight, of course the fights will be rigged for you to win. CIA rushes in and you three get him out", she said.
"So he'll trust us", Colby smirked.
She nodded.
"Can you do it?", she asked.
I chuckled at her question.
"When do we start?", I asked.
Getting our orders of where to go, I went home and packed. Meeting the guys at the airport.
