It didn't take long for Grace and Carlos to arrive at the docks. The entire place was swarming with gangsters that worked for Mr Briggs.
Carlos brushes his hair and takes a deep breath whilst getting ready to put on his George Ryan persona. He knew that he has to put on the performance of his life, This was pretty much like the theatre after all.
He turns to Grace, "Ready?
She nodded. "Let's get this Bastard."
They exit the car simultaneously and walk down the dock hand in hand to meet Mr. Briggs.
Upon seeing them, Mr Briggs looked at Grace with a complete admiration and wolf whistles at her. "Wow, Your girl scrubs up well Ryan, I'm impressed."
George smirks, "I know!, I certainly do pick them don't I?"
Grace felt sick to her stomach that she was doing this and that she had to be here. "I'm pretty sure there's a reason why you summoned us here and It's not to admire our fashion choices, If it was we would be at a fashion show right now not entertaining the illusions of a psychotic drug dealer."
George grabs her arm. "Grace, You can't say that to my boss!" He whispers in her ear, " Tread carefully. "
Mr Briggs chuckles, "It's fine Ryan, Nothing wrong with your pretty little head is there?"
He added, "Your right of course, I brought you here because I have a job for you."
He hands them a brown envelope. Inside was a picture of a man that looked a lot like Special Agent James Ridley.
Carlos and Grace look at each other nervously. Mr Briggs frowns, "Is there a problem?"
Carlos shakes his head, "No there's no problem, It's just if you want us to kill this guy or something then that's just something that we can't do."
He tries to hand the envelope and picture back but Mr Briggs pushes it away. "You'll do whatever is necessary do you understand?"
Carlos looks I'm between Grace and Mr Briggs nervously then nodded reluctantly. "Okay, Who is this guy and what do you want us to do?"
Mr. Briggs shrugs, "Me and my men aren't entirely sure, We've struggled on several occasions to get information on this guy but all we know is he's been watching us and I have a sneaking suspicion that he's a cop."
Carlos raises his eyebrow. "And you want us to do what exactly?"
Mr. Briggs takes out a packet of cigarettes and takes one out to light it then puts it in his mouth. He breathes in the cigarette then takes it out, "I don't know, Make friends with him and find out what he knows."
Grace nodded, "It sounds simple enough, I'll use my womanly wiles to find out what he knows."
Mr Briggs looks at Grace pleased, "Finally, Someone that actually wants to get the job done." He nodded at them both. "You are dismissed."
Carlos gestures to Grace to come with him and they walk back to the car together with the envelope in hand.
They enter the car and begin to drive off. Carlos looks at her for a second annoyed, "What the hell was all that about, "Womanly wiles?!"
Grace shrugs "It just seemed right at the time besides it worked didn't it?"
Carlos shook his head, "Grace that's not the point, He's dangerous and this is getting way more dangerous now, I wouldn't blame you if you want to back out."
Grace sighs, "But you said I can't back out and that I'm already involved and you're right I'm way to heavily invested in all this besides I'm worried about this whole Jason thing."
Carlos nodded. "I know but the last thing I want is you getting hurt never mind Jason too but that's got me worried too if I'm honest.'
They hadn't been driving for very long when Carlos decided to pull over. He yells in frustration, "Argh, Damn this investigation and stupid Undercover Job,Why the hell did I volunteer ?!"
He looks at Grace worriedly, "We need a plan."
