Chapter 8 - duck huntin'

It was the next day. You had just woken up with a slight headache. No, you weren't hungover, but you definitely weren't used to drinking that much anymore. Of course you weren't. You had been so focused on your work the past few years that had completely forgotten to have fun. You knew that trying to catch Escobar would take up a lot of your time, but you were hoping that there would be a lot more times in the future where you could have this much fun with Javi.

At 7 AM you decided that it would be a good idea to finally get ready. After getting dressed and downing your coffee, you decided that it would be best if you waited for Steve at his car. After about 5 minutes of waiting, Steve finally came and greeted you.
You took a seat in his car and he drove off.

"You okay?" Steve asked you while glancing at you quickly. He must've notice the bags under your eyes from the lack of sleep last night.
"Oh, yes. I just didn't sleep so well." you told him. You weren't sure if you wanted to tell Steve that you had gone out for a drink with Javi. Surely, it was only an innocent drink, but you didn't want him to assume anything was going on between you and Javi, so you decided not to tell him.

Shortly after, you arrived at the Embassy. You, Steve and Javi had a meeting to discuss how you were going to proceed further in the Escobar case, but that meeting wasn't until 10 AM.

At 8 AM, Javi arrived at the Embassy and greeted you and Steve. By the looks of it, he didn't seem to struggle with the amount of alcohol he had yesterday, so you assumed that he definitely drank alcohol more often than you did.

"I need to make a call really quick" Steve told you to which you nodded. He left the office.
You went over to Javi's desk where he was currently sitting. "Do you still have the photos Carillo gave us yesterday?" you asked Javi.
Javi quickly looked for the pictures on his desk which was honestly a complete mess. He handed them to you and you looked at them. You didn't know what you were looking for, but you just felt like you needed to look at them.

"By the way, I had a really great time yesterday" Javi told you and flashes you a smile. He looked deep into your eyes and you blushed. You quickly looked back down at the pictures and smiled. "Me too. Thanks again for inviting me."
"Are you free next Saturday? I thought maybe we could go dancing like we said yesterday." he asked you.
"Sure. I'd love that."
"So, are you looking for anything specific in the pictures?" Javi asked and went to stand behind you where he could also look at the pictures.
"Not really. I just wanted to look at them again before the meeting. Maybe I'd see something that we haven't." you told him and turned to look at him.
Once you turned around you realized how close you were actually to him. You could feel his breath on your face.

"Sorry, that took so long." Steve said entering the office.
You quickly turned back around realizing the position that the two of you were in. Honestly, you hadn't even heard the door open.

"Are you guys ready for the meeting?" Steve asked you and Javi to which the two of you just nodded.

You entered a small conference room that was stuffed with boxes and files. In the room there were two men that you hadn't been introduced to yet, but seeing that they weren't going to introduce themselves to you, you just took a seat and waited for someone to start talking.

"So what's the plan?" one of the men asked.
"If we get proof that Escobar is violating the terms of his surrender, then they have to send him to a real prison but we need more than these aerial shots." Javi told the men getting right to business.

"Can you get us satellite communications or wire intercepts?" Steve asked the two.
"There's a no-fly zone over the prison, with antiaircraft guns manned by the Colombian army to enforce it." the same man as before said.
"You're playing with fire if Noonan finds out." the other man continued.
