Braga's eyes narrowed for a split second, then he relaxed and put on a smile. "Let that be my worry. I'll convince him that he gets enough. That guy is too good at what he does to get rid of him." He weighed the case in his hand. "Well done. From now on you officially are under your protection as well as your sister." He gave him a generous smile. Of course he was well aware that this implied a thread at the same time. He handed him a pack of cigarettes, which contained 2000€. "Go!" He waved his hand.

Leon nodded his head, and headed back to his cell, putting the pack in a safe place,soon he'd been on the yard so he could get a phone call, and then it was in Pennings hand.
Two hours later the rest of the cons were out in the yard and he was lead to a private room so he could talk to his 'lawyer'. Checking around, knowing knowone could listen in he picked up the phone and dialled the number programed into his mind, hopeing that Penning would pick up.

Penning mumbled to himself while he typed away at his computer. He still had a lot of explaining to do toward his superiors on why he had let O'conner off the hook. Aside from Perez, he had been the only hope of getting some information on Braga and now Perez wasn't delivering either.
He cursed under his breath when the ringing of the phone on his desk broke his concentration. "Damnit."
Without taking his eyes of his screen, he picked up the horn and clenched it against his ear with his shoulder so he could continue his work while he grumbled a short. "Agent Penning."

"I have infomation"He stated easily, looking up at the wall in front of him.
"But i need assuarance that my sister is going to be safe, that your going to shut him down"
He rested his hands on his knee, waiting for Pennings answer, running his infomation around his mind.

Suddenly Leon had his whole attention. "Let's meet." He thought about it for a moment. "I'll have you picked up." Penning was aware that the walls in Lompoc had ears and Leon's safety was greatly at risk because of what he was doing. One informant in the hospital was enough in his books. He didn't want to have to justify another one.
The next day a uniformed officer picked up Leon in a police car and drove him to a nearby restaurant. With his hands in cuffs he lef he into a room in the back through the back door where Penning was sipping a coffee. "What do you have?I hope this is worth the trip here."

Leon looked at the man in front of him.
"Braga has inmates pose as him, know one inside knows who he is, men from the outside are allowed in, thats how he does it, the guards ensure the saftey, money comes in, contracts, plans, through the guards the money goes out" Leon let out a sigh.
"Yesterday a man came in, brought a hell of a lot of infomation, money, wepons" He looked him directly in the eye.
"I need your word that my sisster will be safe, you move on this"

Penning took notes of the information given by Leon and then leaned back. he eyed the man in front of him. "For all I know this could just be a way to get out for you. I need names. The names of the compromised guards and the contact person you saw yesterday. You also have to testify against Braga and the guards. Then we can put your sister under protection."
He put stirred his coffee and looked at Leon fully aware that the man was in no bragaining position.
"Even if I can pull you out of Lompoc and say you were our informant you might be back in next week if O'Conner decides to press charges against you for attempted murder."

Leon let out a sigh, racking his brains for the names of the guards, he quickly reeled of half the guards in lompoc. He lifted his gaze up to Penning.
"As for the guy yesterday, we never got names, but he knows Braga, hes a regualar." Licking his lips he nodded his head.
"I get that, but hopefully he wont"He shrugged his shoulders. "If he does, well it gives me time to tie up loose ends. The rest i can deal with"

"One personal word. I still consider O'Conner one of us. Don't threaten him, don't get anywhere near him or I'll put you back behind bars in the blink of an eye."
He stared at leon making it understood how serious he was. Then he flipped open a lap top and showed Leon hundreds of mug shots. "See if you recognise the man. he's a key figure. We need him."

Leon lifted his gaze "Brians family"He stated with ease "IF he had been in the same postion as me, he would have done the same thing, even if he says he wouldnt"
Letting out a sigh he looked through the many mug shots, all but giving up on the fact he would find the man. He was just about to hand the lap top back to Penning when eyes caught his own. He looked different, no facial hair, but that wasnt hard to fake, but it was his eyes.
"Can you call more infomation up on this man"He questioned with a raised brow, turning the lap top back to Penning.

For a moment Penning looked at the screen, then pulled up wome background information. A long list or various crimes showed up. Hardly any convictions though. "Everything against this guy always gets dropped. damn. Martinez. supposedly involved in an LA gang." His eyes locked on leon's. "You think this our man?"

Leon looked back over at him, before nodding his head.
"Thats your man"He nodded "He had a moustach, but thats easily gotten rid of"
He clicked his neck lifted his gaze back to Penning.
"Hes in deep but, hes pushing Brags for more, i dont think he likes the risk any more"

"If that's right he'll be your ticket out. That would mean two big fish at once." A slight smile played on his lips.
Later that day the FBI agent checked the cameras of the prison. from a distance a person was visible but without analysis he couldn't tell who it was. the guards had made sure no camera would pick up a close up.
The analysis back at the FBI headquarters confirmed that the man on the tapes was a 80% match for Martinez and Leon was released the next day. Officially he'd been transfered to a different facility.
After four long months Leon Perez was finally a free man again. The wait had paid off...at least it seemed like it.
