"..... sis!... oh my god sis, where are you?..."

"I'm back in Manhattan...

"What!... when did that happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

"because I only just got my phone back from Eli.." she paused. "But I'm leaving again.. on my own..."

"Why?... where are you going?...

"Cara, you need to learn to let me go...

Suddenly there was rustling on the phone as agent Collins took it from Cara. " India...

" who the hell are you?...

" this is agent Collins...

" this is agent Collins

"what the fuck?.. no way, what the hell are you doing with my sister?." She said angrily as it began to sink in who this was.

"I need you to listen to me, Eli is a dangerous man... I have tried to speak to you multiple times about him.... we want to help you, but the only way you can do that is if you help us..."

"and I've told you before, I will never give him up for anything, besides I don't know anything... he doesn't tell me his business, you need to speak to his wife for that.... I'm just a side chick." She said angry at herself mostly for saying it out loud and realising there and then what she really was to him. There was silence for a second or two. " I'm moving away. I'm taking my son and I'm starting fresh.... I don't want to be part of this and I'm asking you to keep me out of this.... if you want to take him down, do whatever you have to do but don't you dare involve me and my son... put my sister back on the phone..."

Cara took the phone. "Indy... please don't go...

" I've got to... how the hell did you hook up with him?..."

" I was used, story of my life right?... there's me thinking that you're the one that needs protecting from assholes.... But it seems that that's me..." she said.

"I will get settled. I'm gonna get a new number and I will call you... but only you, you tell nobody... I have to get out of this life. It wasn't something I wanted in the first place.... You do know that right?."

"of course I know that... just be safe and you make sure you contact me as soon as you are somewhere... I love you.."

" I love you too" she replied and the call ended.

Cara turned to look at Collins, his face was straight. "you know as soon as she gets to her new place I need to know... and I need to know where that is... this isn't a game Cara... she is part of this and she probably is the only person that will be able to lead us straight to him and his illicit dealings whether she knows it or not..." he grabbed his things.

" and that's it!... you're just gonna walk away... you used me, we..... just get the fuck out... GET THE FUCK OUT!." She screamed with tears falling.

Collins turned and left, this was a job to him. He was used to undercover. Breaking hearts was all part of the job. His focus was Eli and his leverage would be Indy and the boy.
