"Hey Jauregui? Is everything okay? You're not hurt are you?" Jacks asked when he noticed Lauren crying.
Camila watched as Laurens' walls built right back up. Camila watched as happy and vulnerable went to sassy and bitchy in an instant. Lauren stood up and wiped the tears away as if nothing happened. Camila watched as everything she had just accomplished was wiped off, shrugged away.
"It's all good Jacks. We're good." Lauren straightened her posture. "We kind of have a problem anyways."
Camila looked between Lauren and Jacks and tried to understand their dynamic. Trying to figure out if Lauren actually trusted him.
"How are we going to make Camila part of the team? I don't want her to be in danger. I don't want anyone to figure out who she is. I need her to be safe." Lauren told Jacks with care and concern lacing her features.
"I get that. I understand that is what we have to do. You know that I protect everyone that is under me." Jacks patted Lauren's head, "How did she get involved anyways? I thought you were keeping this stuff a secret? Do they know her real name?" Jacks questioned back.
"You think that I did this on purpose? Do you really think that I would put someone that means something to me in danger? I just happened to get spotted on the beach, at least they didn't see my brother and sister that happened to be there too. To those people I'm just their go-to, their lackie," Lauren ran her hand through her hair while pacing back and forth, "What do you think would have happened if one of them yelled my real name or came up to me? I salvaged the situation the best I could. The girl called Camz out, there was nothing I could do about it." Lauren threw her hands up in frustration and continued pacing back and forth.
Camila looked at Lauren confused, did Lauren really just say she cared about her? That was something new, maybe Camila was finally breaking through Lauren's barriers.
"Okay, okay calm down." Jacks walked to Lauren and rubbed her arms. "I will figure it out. Maybe you two can be upstairs at the time of the bust. I'll see if I can be the one that searches the place this time. No promises, but I will try." Jacks reassured Lauren, Lauren backed away from the embrace though.
Camila was getting tired of being talked about like she wasn't there. "WAIT! STOP!"
Jacks and Lauren both looked at Camila.
"Who says that I even want to be involved in this. I mean how dangerous is this? How much trouble will I get into if I'm caught? What is involved? What do I have to do? You can't just expect me to jump in when I have absolutely no idea what is going on. So instead of you two talking like I'm not even here why don't you try at least explaining everything to me." Camila ranted out.
"Woah! Fiesty! That's a new one for you Jauregui. I think she'll be good for you." Jacks said with a small chuckle taking a few steps back from Lauren.
Lauren looked at Camila and then back to the floor finding interest in how it was so shinny. Jacks laughed and smiled at Camila as Lauren started turning red.
"Okay since Lauren is turning into a tomato I'll fill you in." Jacks said as Lauren smacked his arm.
"The first thing that my people are doing, is finding you an identity. We don't want to use your real name for anything so tonight take nothing that has your real name and address on it with you. Pretty much just take whatever we give you. The second thing is I'm not going to lie, what we are doing tonight is going to be dangerous. The people we are dealing with are going to know if we give them fakes. Therefore most of the drugs will be real. If you are caught with any of them we have to process you like you are one of them. The third is that the girl we are giving the drugs to is basically going to hook us up with one of the other dealers in the area. They know CJ is getting fed up with working for pennies and wants out of her current situation." Jacks stopped for a minute to let everything process seeing Camila looking a little flustered.
