The New Driver (COMPLETE)

Third pov

"What do you mean he's lost interest?"

"His interest now lies with his mecanic, Phoenix Cortez."

Markham frowned. This was not according to plan. "How far does this interest go?"

"I don't know, he spends pretty much all his time in the garage with her." Monica didn't like admitting to loosing favor with Carter.

"Watch to see if it progresses further. We're going to have to proceed with our plans earlier than planned."

Phoenix opened her eyes begrudgingly as sun shone on her. She was still in last night's dress but this was not her apartment and she did not have a pillow shaped like a man.

Carter watched in half awake amusement as Phoenix realized she was not at home. She moved her head to look at who's arms she was in. "Hmm, Carter....?" Damn if she wasn't beautiful in the morning.

"Yes, corazon?"

She just burried her head in his chest again, not wanting to get up. She could remember doozing of with her head on his shoulder and guessed he'd carried her to his room after.

Carter didn't mind her decision not to get up. This was the most comfortable he had been in a long time.

Monica wanted to rip her hair out as she saw them eating breakfast in the distance. All her hard work was starting to crumble around her and there was nothing she could do.

"Carter?" She handed him the list of drivers she had gotten together to audition for the job. The job had been moved to three weeks from now.

He took a look at it before dismissing her.

This was not going according to plan.

Time skip 2 weeks

Markham pulled up Carter's profile as he talked.

"And then there is his mechanic, Phoenix Cortez."

Brian was surprised to see the woman he sometimes saw in the garage being displayed on the wall.

"Verone hired her barely a month ago but seemingly has a deep interest in her, enough to push our agent away. We have yet to be able to confirm who's side she stands on but we do know that Verone wants her on the driving job. We need you to confirm what side she is on."

With Phoenix

Phoenix sighed happily as she finished her third car since she started working for Carter.

Carter sat on a chair with a book as she worked. While she did love his company she was happy he wasn't one of those people that talked all the time. It would've driven her insane if he was.

"I'm done with this one. Any particular you want me to start on next?"

He shook his head. "Pick whichever you want."

She nodded and moved over to the Spyder. It didn't need much fixing, just some things in the engine needed to be switched out.

"Want go for a ride?"

Phoenix smiled and kissed his cheek. "You know i do."
