Jesse's POV
I yawn, waking up to an alarm that's going off way too early for me and I get showered and I put a casual button up and skinny jeans on as you do when you go out for coffee. I do my hair and I put shoes on then I leave and I go to pick up Brynn cause I know he hasn't left yet. He comes out, long french braids in his dark hair and just a nice tee shirt and jeans. No glasses this time, he looks beautiful, damn. He doesn't even have to try. I say "get in, loser, were going shopping" and Brynn gets in next to me saying "didn't take you for a Mean Girls type" and I say "everyone has seen Mean Girls and I have to twin sisters, I've seen Mean Girls." We chuckle and I say "good morning" and he says "good morning, you look dead" and I say "I haven't had coffee yet" and he says "you sound like my dad" and I chuckle. I say "you ready for this?" He nods and we go to this random coffee shop I picked and when I pull into the driveway I reach into the glove box in front of Brynn pulling out the glock nineteen from the bar and I shut it and I say "you ready to go?" Brynn nods saying "just a few questions?" I say "yup, that's it" nodding and Brynn says "ok" nodding and I put the gun in my back waistband and we go in and I find the siblings and I mumble "look slightly nervous, won't give anything up too easily though, normal" and Brynn mumbles "you're smart." We order coffee and before he puts money on the counter I swipe my card and he says "I can pay for myself ya know" quietly and I say "but I didn't want you to" and he bites his lip, blushing lightly and we go over to the siblings, Stacy and Drew. I say "I'm Jesse" and Brynn says "I'm Brynn" and we shake their hands, them introducing themselves and we sit across for them. I say "so, Drew, you're the one that called in, why is that?" He says "I called because I was concerned for my families danger, I'm too old to really care about myself anymore, well, I care but if I get shot, I've had a good life, ya know? I've had a dark past as you know and I remember going to these parties that someone within the network would throw and people would just disappear throughout the weekend and no one would notice." I say "what are these parties like?" He says "well, of what I've heard you have to have ten people on, yeah, ya know and you have to know that they for sure are going to be there or someone will come and find you if you kill someone on your list and not everyone on that list are there, someone higher up is going to come find you. Party is normally just a normal rich people get together where they talk about family and their jobs, it looks like a wedding party of some kind, there's normally dancing, drinking just having a good time. You never know if these parties are going to be like this or not cause these kind of parties happen all the time." I say "so, I heard there was going to be five not ten dead by the end of the weekend, do you have any idea who the ten are?" He says "I can get a copy of the list for you" and I say "that would be great actually" and Stacy says "so what are you going to do so my family doesn't die?" She seems very innocent and very oblivious about their hidden lives and I say "what were going to do is, were going to go to this party and just keep watch, we're not going to let anything happen to your family or anyone at this party." Drew says "they aren't afraid of having a shootout ya know" and I say "and I'm not either" and Drew says "ten of their guys are gonna be there, they all carry glock twenty twos, normally in like a shoulder holster thing or in their back waistbands if their wearing suit jackets which they always are at these things or on their hips." I say "we'll get them before they get us, don't worry about us" nodding and I mumble "and this is why we get the license for you" poking Brynns shoulder. He says "I figured" rolling his eyes and we chuckle and I say "if you have questions or more information, give me a call, if I have questions or information, I'll give you a call" and they nod. I say "just bring the list to my office, the ladies at the front desk will know what to do if you say Jesse needs it" and Drew nods saying "I'll get it to you in a couple hours" checking his watch. We shake their hands again and we leave to go to the office and I say "what do you think?" Brynn says "I'm terrified" and I quietly say "that's normal" and Jamie says "you're late" when we walk in and I say "guess who's not my boss? You" pointing at him and he rolls his eyes and the Deputy says "yeah, were you?" I say "interviewing" nodding at him and we go to my office and I say "let me tell you something, babe. These out in the field missions that you jump into knowing something could happen are always nerve wracking but you will feel so accomplished when you come out of it." He says "what about for you?" I say "I'm always more nervous when I'm bringing someone in with me cause if something happens to me, I don't want you to feel like it's your fault if I get hurt." He says "as long as you don't feel that way about me then we have a deal" and I say "this is your first thing, this is my ass if I get hurt" and he says "then we don't have a deal" teasingly and I say "I've been doing this for a long time, if you get hurt, I'm not going to take it super hard but it's still my ass" and he says "we have a deal then" putting his hands out and I chuckle, shaking it.
