"I can't believe you're still talking to her. You must really like her." JJ said to Penelope as they sat across from each other in a cafe.
"I don't know. There's just something about her." Penelope said with a shrug.
"I'm surprised she hasn't invited you to go visit her in Italy yet." JJ said before taking a sip of her latte. Her eyes widened over the mug before pulling it from her face and quickly wiping her mouth. "She did, didn't she?" JJ asked.
Penelope's silence answered her question.
"What did you say?" JJ asked her.
Penelope bit the inside of her cheek.
"Oh my god! Y-" She paused after getting a few looks from other people sitting in the cafe. "You said yes?!" She whisper yelled.
"Yes." Penelope admitted. "You don't get it, Jayge. There's something about her. It's like she puts on this shield around everyone to stay mysterious and intimidating, but when I was alone with her.. it was like a whole different person."
"I'm not gonna tell you what to do, Garcia. If you wanna go— go." JJ said. "I'll be honest, I'm jealous. I mean come on, a villa in Italy? It doesn't get better than that."
Penelope softly smiled.
"Send so many pictures. I mean pictures of everything, the food you're eating, the wine you drink— everything."
Penelope softly chuckled. "Okay. I promise."
Venice, Italy
You sat in the garden and peacefully watched as your gardener was taking care of your fruits and vegetables.
You furrowed your brows. "Yes, Luca?" You questioned as you felt him behind you.
"You're bringing a fed here?" He questioned.
You turned your head to the side. "Who told you?" You asked.
"Angela and the chefs are talking about it." He said as he walked in front of you.
"She's a technical analyst." You stated softly.
"Who works for the FBI!" He exclaimed.
Your rage filled eyes looked at him as you slowly stood up and took a step toward him. He gulped loudly as you squinted your eyes. "Are you questioning me, Luca?"
"N-No, boss. I just- I have a bad feeling. We all do."
"Get rid of your 'bad feelings'. I expect her to be welcomed with open arms when she arrives. Am I clear?" You asked sternly.
"Crystal." He said.
You nodded. "Good." You looked him up and down before meeting his eyes again. "Now, about the next job." You said while sitting back down in your chair.
"We have Paul Wilson again. He went off the grid, but we got him. We're bringing him here tonight." Luca said.
You took a deep breath as you laid back in your chair. "Took you long enough. I was starting to get antsy."

You were sitting in the main living room, in the conversation pit with a book until your front door opened. You looked up and saw Luca and Jack with masks on in full black outfits dragging a man into the villa. When your eyes focused on him you realized it was Paul. You tossed your book onto the couch with a smirk as you stood up and began walking toward him.
