(20 Septemeber)
It had been pretty late when Mia had awoken her from Jack's arms, and the conversation she had with the elder woman hadnt made it easy to go back to sleep. SHe wondered if Jack would agree with BRians need to run and hdie because of this Carter Verone, the same guy BRian had mentioned to Jack when they were heading to Miami.
She had promised Mia that she would find out any infomation on the guy, any recent infomation of course, if he was clean, and remaining clean surely they wernt a threat. She hadnt been able to go back to sleep and had spent the night downstaris, having decided to call Daniel and ask for his help, in the mornign rather then the 3'oclock, morning phone call from Mia.
Morning finally came and she headed about her normal routine, work wasnt untill later that day so hopefully she would be able to catch Danie either before work or after. When she was ready and dressed, she scrolled through her phone, where she had programed his number before she and Jack had gone to Miami.
Hitting the call button she waited a moment or two before the man on the other end of the phone picked up. "Hey er, its Faye...i hope i didnt wake you"

"I'm telling you, puto. I know nothing, man!" It was the same muffled answer Daniel received for about the umpteenth time from the Hispanic and the annoyance washing over his face was becoming more clear by the second. Either this guy enjoyed a good beating or he really didn't know anything about the major weight coming in. Fuck.
"Hold that thought..." The hand that was pushing the man's, covered by a now bloodstained jute sack to prevent facial recognition, head against the table top disappeared in to the pocket of his leather jacket to get a hold of his vibrating phone, the other one still firmly pressing the muzzle of a Beretta 92FS on the Hispanic's neck. "Make one peep and I'll blow your brains out over the table. I don't even want to hear you fucking breathing."
After a muffled agreement from the tied man, Daniel answered the phone with a brisk 'Yeah.', no mention of his name. He wasn't stupid nor letting his guard slide over a badly timed fucking phone call.
"No, I'm wide awake actually." The coldness had bled from his tone in an instant after the unexpected female voice hit his ear, his eyes cutting back to the Hispanic with a twisted smile on his features. "Just finishing up some business. To what do I owe the pleasure?"

Faye all but sighed in releif that she hadnt woke the man, many held funny sleeping patterns, and just because he was an FBI agent did not mean he was sleeping and awake with everyone else. Shifting on the couch she pulled her legs beneath her body, eyes drifting in the direction of the room upstairs where she was sure she had heard Jack moveing.
"I was actually wondering if i could take you up on your offer, i need some help on a case im working on"SHe stated, lying just slightly, Carter may not have been a case, but he was of interest to her family, so it was a case to her, licking her lip, she moved forward, gaze skimming over the info she had already pulled on him, but it was nothing recent, it was all old infomation, all the stuff they already knew.

Daniel's jaw tensed up for the briefest moment, his eyes landing on the back of the Hispanic under his gun point once more. He couldn't have this conversation here, but popping a potential source of information wasn't wise at this point either.
"Yeah, if you'll give me a sec to wrap something up..."
His phone was pressed securely against his chest when he leaned in on the Hispanic, the click of the safety coming back on evident as he growled in to the man's ear. "I gotta take this call. Consider yourself lucky this time, puto."
Leaving the man hooded and bound at his own kitchen table, he moved the phone back to his ear when he walked out of the house, keeping a wary eye on the neighboring houses as he crossed the street. "So what kind of case are we talking about here?"

Faye nodded her head, she hadnt woke him, but she had obviously interupted something, she was about to tell him that she woudl call back later but the sound went from the phone and she presumed he was covering the speaker so she wouldnt hear whatever it was he was doing, which was actually rather intreiguing, but she shrugged, obviously he was doing something work related.
It didnt take long for his voice to come back on the phone and she gave a small smile, eyes flicking over the pages in front of her, his question caught her of guard and for a moment sh found herself thinking things through in her head, this was the second time she had acted un proffessional with him. "Sorry, half way through reserch here"SHe pushed the paper work aside.
"A custody case"She stated, gaze lying onto the picture of the birth record of Carters daughter. "The mother wants to make sure he's not still into things he shouldnt be"She stated with a shrug of her shoulder.
"Names Carter Verone, he was one of the largest drug traffickers out of Miami and Colombia"She stated just as Jack came down the stairs, with a smile in his direction she watched him furrow his brow before shrugging and heading into the kitchen, she did not want to have this conversation here, not where he could hear and mention something to Brian.

"A custody case?" Daniel's brow furrowed when the apparent 'case' he had left the cholo fuck off the hook for turned out to be a worried mother. Annoyance washed over his face, and he had to make sure it wouldn't seep in to his voice as well if he didn't want to scare the woman off. He was playing good cop to the outside world after all.
With his hand reaching down his pocket for his car keys, he was about to cut her short, tell her that he couldn't help her on a case such as this, that was until he heard the name Carter Verone. Annoyance made room for a smirk while he slid in to his car, knowing before hand that there wouldn't be any dirt to dig up on the man considering he was the one keeping Verone's record completely unscathed after he had gotten out of jail.
"Sounds like a case worth looking in to. I'd ask what you have on Verone so far, but I rather not do this over the phone for obvious reasons."

Faye nodded her head, letting out a breath she ran a hand through her hair, flicking her gaze over towards the kitchen where Jack had gone she had to agree, for whole different reasons. "Your right, how bout i meet you, wherever is convinent for you"SHe stated, flipping all the paper work over and then stuffed them into her breifcase.
"i know this isnt normally a case for someone with your credentials, but i know the woman personelly"SHe stated softly "it would be a huge help"

"I'd say anywhere is convenient for me." Daniel briefly looked in his rear view mirror at the neighborhood he had just left while he slipped his sunglasses on to his face, covering his eyes. Well, anywhere but the bad side of Echo Park would be convenient for him. He'd be wearing out his welcome soon enough here if anyone began noticing the quite out of place vehicle.
"Don't worry about it, I'm glad to help. If there is any dirt on this guy I'll make sure we dig it all up." Letting the lie roll off his tongue with ease, he started the engine and left it idling for the time being. "How about I come pick you up instead of you meeting me somewhere. Saves you some trouble."

Faye nodded her head, then realized she was talking to him on the phone and couldnt actually see the gesture. "That would be great"She stated quickly rattaling of the address. "Give me about half an hour to get ready"SHe was already pushing herself of the sofa and heading towards the kitchen so that she could let Jack know she was heading out for something work related. She flipped the phone shut and with it held in her hand, gave Jack a kiss and headed up stairs.
It took her exactly 20 minuets to get showered, she didnt bother drying her hair, instead allowed it to dry naturaly, in a messy, thrown up bun, some loose tendrals of hair framing her face, she slipped into something more casual then the previous time she had seen him, opting for black trousours and a tight fitting white shirt, a couple of buttons left undone, a simple base of founation and mascare finished the look, as did he strappy black sandles, with five minuets to spare she was out of the front door, breifcase in hand.
Seeing him already waiting she sighed, heading towards him, eying botth Jacks Evo and her own simpler looking car, but then she knew looks could be deciving, brushing her hand over the metal she headed towards Daniel.
"Your early"SHe stated as she slipped into the passenger seat of his car.

"Figured a lawyer would appreciate the punctuality. You clean up nice by the way." The obvious dig at the stiff lawyer look she had presented herself in last time was combined with a smirk, his own suit and tie having been traded in for simple jeans, a shirt and the leather jacket that covered his gun. It was one of the perks of working the streets instead of the desks.
His eyes moved briefly over the two hard to miss vehicles on the driveway as he started the car. "Interesting choice for your line of profession." He offered her a smile before he rolled the BMW back on to the street, increasing the speed as soon as he hit the main road. "I take it the same place as last time is alright with you as well?"

Faye smiled over at him, nodding her head as she ran a hand through her slightly still wet hair, thankfully for her JAck hadnt given her any shit about her haveing to go work, although he had eyed her with a raised brow, almost as if he didnt belive her but had shrugged if of. "Thanks,"She stated, gaze taking in his prefered outfit, "Your looking much better then last time" She stated, she never had found a man in a suit and tie sexy, nor easy to approach.
Her eyes drifted over to her baby in the drive way and laughed, with a small shrug of her shoulders, she turned her gaze away from the simple red painted SRT, it was a beautul car, didnt look like much, but with the Skyline engine and race tuned it knew how to handle.
"What can i say, my brother got me hooked on speed and then so did Jack and Bri"She said with a shrug, it was one of the main reasons she had chosen her car, it didnt look like much, not really but it sure was fast. "Never been one to roll with the crowd"
With another shrug she turned to look out the window, his question drawing her gaze, with a slow lazy smile she nooded her head, "Sure, im inconvincing you so whereever is fine"

"Nah, you're not inconveniencing me." Daniel gave her a easy smile, his eyes briefly raking over her form before they turned to the road ahead once more. Even if this meet was supposed to be purely business, a facade on his end, it didn't mean he couldn't enjoy his beautiful company while he was at it. "Just thought you'd want another shot at that uh, what was it? Hazelnut something..? While we go over the paperwork you have so far."
The BMW was soon pulled to a stop in front of the small restaurant. The place hadn't made much of an impression on him last time, but that could have been because O'Conner had been grating on his nerves and he had to put every effort in to not showing it.
"Since I picked the place, I'll let you pick the table." He offered as they headed inside, the smell of fresh coffee already hitting his senses.

Faye turned her gaze back to him, laughing at his comment "Trust me strong black coffee is fine by me" She enjoyed the taste of something more fancy every now and then, but she had been up since 2 that morning and deffiently needed a strong shot of coffee in her system if she was even going to function and take in anything he had to tell her.
Walking into the place she nodded her head and led them to a back table, the gaze over looking the beach, even in the early morning it was filled with beach goers, she envied them on days like this, with the sun high in the sky. She quickly ordered herself a coffee, waiting for him to order, before she turned her gaze onto him.
"I hope i didnt interupt anything to important this morning"SHe started, her dark eyes sparkling as she rested her gaze on his chissled face.

After ordering himself a coffee as well, Daniel turned his attention back to the pretty brunette as he gave her a dismissive shrug. "Nothing I can't pick back up later.." The smile on his face displayed nothing of the fact that her phone call had come at a more than inconvenient timing. Not that it mattered anymore now, not after she had mention the name Carter Verone, the man he was supposed to keep out of the spotlights of the law and he knew it was only luck that the woman had come to him for this case.
"So, now that I know you're a speed demon, I take it you want to get started right away?" Letting a chuckle escape him, he briefly nodded toward the briefcase she had on her. "Show me what you have on the man and we'll go from there."

Faye dissmissed his comment with a laugh "I wouldnt say speed demon"SHe said with a shrug, her hair falling into her face, before she quickly brushed it away once more. "But yea, i want to get this case done and dusted"SHe stated, her hands were already on the breif case pulling out the note pad she had used to write down al the activity she had on Verone, all the infomation she had gathered, most of it was before he had been sent down, back in Miami, and it was actually some pretty heavy shit, but the details died down once he arrived in LA. in fact all she had on him then was that he had a daughter.
SLideing the book over to him, her gaze flicked over to the waitress as she brought their orders, then slid back over to Verone. "Im more interested in what he'd doing now though"She stated with a shrug "I mean no guy is that clean, even im not that clean"SHe stated, licking her lips as she craddled the steaming hot cup of coffee in her hands.
"Kinda makes you wonder what he is doing"She smiled as she looked up at Daniel, this was why she was so good at her job, most people would have gone with the facts and they said Carter Verone was a model citazin, but she didnt belive it, no body was as clean as Verones files were making him out to be.
"Makes you wonder who he's got on the inside covering his tracks"

Daniel's eyes shot up from the paperwork when the last comment met his ears. He had told Verone that making him look too clean now would only cause for a rise of suspicions if anyone ever got curious, but the man had insisted on it, said he needed it to keep his daughter and the child's mother at his side. Stubborn asshole.
"Says here he has a kid now. People can make radical changes in their life once they become a parent." He was clutching at straws here. A man like Verone didn't change like night did in to day, he knew this and obviously she did, too. "But if there is anything to find on this guy, we'll find it." He added with a quick smile as he turned his attention back to the papers in front of him, arranging another meeting with Verone already on his mind.
After having viewed all the already known to him information on Verone's past and lack thereof present activities, he leaned back in his seat while he quirked an almost amused eyebrow , the all too obvious question burning on his lips as he spoke. "So the clean record makes you think there's a mole in play?"

Faye lifted her gaze, brow arched, the fact that a kid was involved made her more concerned, and if Carter wasnt who he was, she might have belived the sudden change, but he was and she didnt. With a shrug of her shoulders she lent forward, resting her elbows on the table and looked at him.
"Dont you"She questionde with a raised brow, licking her lips she took in a deep breath, before letting it out slowly. "Look okay i know guys like Carter, hell my ex from Miami worked for his right hand mans brother"She of course was refering to Tristan, with a shake of her head she allowed herself to flash back to un pleasent thoughts for only a moment before pulling herself back to the present.
"Guys like him, they dont change, they just make sure they dont get caught, so hell yea i think he's got someone on the inside, in fact i know he has, okay Nate, who was working for Carter had someone on the inside"

If Daniel was becoming uncomfortable by her passionate speech, he didn't show it, but instead displayed an amused smirk on his features while he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Well well, looks like you've been doing your homework. Keep this up and you'll become a successful lawyer, but you'll also be needing to watch your back if and when you do." The last part could have sounded like a threat, and half of it was, though a covered one, yet at the same time it was the truth. Big time business men, wrapped up in the wrong business didn't appreciate nosy lawyers looking past the cold hard and carefully fabricated facts and it wasn't unheard of those type of lawyers disappeared more than once.
"I'm not saying you're wrong though. I'd be lying if I said corrupt agents don't happen, which obviously you'd know." The smile gave away that he was referring to none other than O'Conner, the ex FBI agent she called her friend. "But I digress..."

Faye let out a sigh, she had spent so many years watching her back, watching what she said and did and who she said it to. Many times she had lied to her brother, lied to her friends and work collegues and she knew that this time nothing was going to change, not in her line of work any way.
Lifting her dark eyes onto him she nodded her head, she knew all about corrupt FBI agents not only Brian but men who had worked for Nate and Tristan. With a sigh she shook her head lowering her gaze. "So you dont think im reading to much into this"She questioned with a raised brow.
