Carlos and Grace arrived at the room they had booked. Carlos saw no need to book two separate rooms not now that they were actually dating.

Carlos frowns thinking, "I wonder if she was okay with me calling her my girlfriend?."

He hated this situation.. How could he have let himself fall in love with a girl and put her in danger in this way?

He wondered whether this was time for him to end his career as a police officer after all this was on him.. Nobody else's fault but him.

He touches her shoulder. "Grace, I'm sorry about all this, I'm sorry I lied to you and I'll do everything that I can to fix this. Somehow... "

Grace turns around. "I never wanted anything to do this in the first place.. I don't even know why they hand picked me.."

He touches her face. "They handpicked you for the same reason I fell in love why I fell in love with you...Because your kind,Honest and drop dead Gorgeous."

Grace blushes. "I,I never knew you felt that way.."

He smiles. "I meant what I said.. That night meant something to me just like it meant to you and I really hope there's something in it for us maybe even a future..I love you Grace."

Grace was about to say that she loved him back but instead she was rudely interrupted by Carlos's phone.

Carlos answers the phone keeping his undercover self in complete pretence.
"George Ryan speaking."

A voice on the other side of the phone speaks. "Mr Briggs wants you and your girl at the docks in 10 minutes and you'd better be there.."

George nodded. "Don't worry.. We will be."

Carlos hangs up the phone and Grace groans. "Do we have to go?.. Can't we just run? Surely the police have safe houses we can use after all you're a cop right."

Carlos shook his head. "No, I can't take that risk.. He's been watching the house Grace and if he knows about you then there's a good chance that he knows who I really am too."

He added. "Which means.. I have to go this alone.. I can't involve the others and put their life in danger."

Grace looks at him in anger. "But, It's Alright to put my life in danger?!"

Carlos sighs. "He wants you involved and what he wants he gets.. He is not the type of guy to mess with.. Grace if I had my way you would never be involved in the first place.."

Grace sighs. "Let's just get this over with but if I end up dead.. It's on you.. So do you understand me?."

He nodded. "I'm not gonna let that happen.. Trust me.."

Grace goes into the bathroom to get changed into a stunning Chinese red Dress.

She comes out and notices Carlos dressed in a hoodie and Jeans. He wolf whistles at her. "Wow.. You are absolutely gorgeous.."

She smiles.. "Well we gotta give the man what he wants now don't we?..."

He nodded and takes her out the hotel towards the car. "Lets do this.."
