Roman had set the Cadillac's windshield on fire allowing for Reyna, Brian and Roman to jump ibto the Evo and check in with Bilkins. The three of them were laughing together, "That was amazing, Rome!" Reyna says as she and Rome fist-bump. "Should be prepared for a Markham assault honestly," Reyna said to Rome knowing he had fired shots at Markham which wouldn't go down well with the Agent. "He don't scare me," Rome says smirking at Reyna who shook her head while Brian laughed, "She ain't telling you to be scared, Rome. She just knows all about angry cops." Reyna rolled her eyes getting a quizzical look from Rome.

Brian smirked as they pulled up to the check in building, the three of them got out and started walking inside. "He's gonna blow our cover before we even get started," Rome says as they made their way inside. "Hey, Bilkins, can you tell me what went wrong?" Reyna asks as he walked towards them, "That's what I wanna know." Markham and Dunn entered the room with their guns raised. "Show me your hands!" Markhan yelled.

Brian pulled Reyna out of the way while Dunn patted down Rome, Reyna shook her head as she crossed her arms against her chest. "What's this about, man?" Rome asks as he kept his hands raised, Markham threw his gun to Bilkin before shoving Rome, "You think you can shoot at me? I'm a goddamn Federal Agent!" Brian raced over to shove Markham away from Rome as Reyna watched the whole arguement continue wishing she was back at Tej's garage.

Reyna stepped forward, "What? Monica didn't tell you that Verone was having me test them?" She asks Markham as he looked over at her before looking back at Brian and Rome, "No. I thought the punks were running." Reyna shook her head as Rome stepped forward, "Running!" Rome walked over to stand next to Reyna as Brian shook his head. "That's great. That's real great! Oh, and if Rome wanted to shoot you, you wouldn't be here right now," Brian says as he threw his own gun on the table.

Bilkins walked over and grabbed the gun placing it in his waistband, "All right. We gotta get this under control." Reyna watched as Rome walked over to a bag that Markham claimed as his own, not that it stopped Rome only making Reyna giggle as she stood with Brian. "So tell me what you know," Bilkins asks wanting to move past the previous situation and back into the case. "Well, Rome, Reyna and I will be making a run for Verone. I'm not sure when and where. But he did say he bought us a window. I'm assuming from the local cops," Brian explains.

Rome placed an arm around Reyna's shoulders as he stood next to her, she smiled up at him before looking at the officers. "I can talk to some of the guys at the local P.D," Dunn offers getting a shake of the head from Bilkins, "No. No good. If Verone's got some of them on the payroll, then we can't let then know about our operation." Reyna nodded in agreement before speaking, "Exactly. In addition, Verone told them that he himself would be waiting at the drop." But she had a feeling things wouldn't be running as smooth as they hope for.

"That's good news. If you're gonna be delivering drug money to him, then we can catch him for laundering," Bilkins said as he and Markham shared a glance before Reyna looked at Brian with a sigh. "No, there's only one problem," Rome said as he removed his arm from Reyna's shoulders catching everyone's attention. "What's that?" Bilkins asks as Reyna and Brian shared a look before focusing back on Rome. "Fuentes... Verone's tapping her," Rome says making the Agents look at everyone.

Bilkins looked from Brian to Rome, "Tappin' her? Tappin' her how?" Markham shook his head having full trust in his agent, "That is crap!" Rome scoffed at Markham, "What you talkin' about, homeboy? We know what we seen." Reyna took a deep breath as Markham looked at her and Brian with a snide smirk. "What do you think, O'Connor? You think she's compromised? You should know," Markham spoke tauntingly causing Reyna to try and lunge at him, Brian grabbing her instantly.

Rome looked at them confused as he pulled Reyna to stand by him, "What's that supposed to mean?" Markham laughed as he stared down Brian who narrowed his eyes. "What? You mean your old pal O'Connor didn't tell ya? He flipped on Bilkins in L.A. Gave his mark his car keys and let him disappear, Let Roshani here disappear too. That's why he's not a cop anymore." Reyna glared at Markham as Rome looked between them. "So what do you think, expert?" Markman continued with a taunting smirk, Reyna shoved past him to get outside needing some air.
