Lucas and Opal were currently sitting at the bar, Lucas with his arm round her. She was desperately trying to hide the disgust she felt, attempting to keep their cover.

"Hey babe can you buy me a drink?" Opal smiled at him bashfully, playing the role of a doting girlfriend, trying to annoy him as much as possible.

"Sure honey." Lucas answered with a sweet voice but the face he shot her secretly contradicted it wildly. In order to keep their cover he would have to buy the drink using his own money, and do it with a smile.

"Thanks." Opal blew him a quick air kiss, suppressing the urge to gag as she did so.

"Here you go." Lucas slid the drink he had gotten down the bar so that it sat in front of her, glaring at her as he did so.

"So we just sit and observe?" Lucas piped up after wake of silence.

"No you sit, and I gather intel." Opal replied sourly, peeling her arms of the sticky bar and jumping off her stool.

"What do you have that I don't?"

"Boobs." She smiled at him mischievously before waking off.

"Funny." Lucas called out to her as she walked away.

After a short while, only around an hour, Opal had collected a lot of intel.

"So apparently they'll be getting a delivery later, I say we interrupt it, take the driver and question him. The drivers and workers are usually soft so it shouldn't be too hard. Not that he'll have much information but it's still useful. Oh and there's this chain of clubs that Romero owns where all this sketchy stuff goes down, using the chain as as a cover."

"You got all of that in half an hour?" Lucas looked at her in shock, clearly baffled at how she did that.

"You'd be surprised what a couple flirtatious smiles and winks can get you."

"Never got me very far with you."

"That's because I have eyes." Opal sassed, condescending patting him on the shoulder.

"Oh my good look." Opal gasped, pointing towards a retreating figure.

"What?"

"That's the girlfriend of Romero Paleo."

"As in Romero who runs the elistas?" Lucas questioned, eyebrows furrowing.

"Who else dipshit?"

"I was just asking."

"I'm going to follow her to the ladies room, see if I can get her to gossip, reveal any intel."

"Right I'll be out here flirting with more girls." He smirked at her slyly whilst eyeing up a blonde that sat a few stools down.

"You're supposed to be my boyfriend, agent charming." Opal used the name to mock him.

"Don't mock me."

"Or what?"

"Cat got your tongue?" Opal questioned after a few moments of silence.

"We'll finish this after I go meet the girlfriend." She interrupted him before he could speak, knowing it would annoy him.

"Okay, you have fun with that."

Opal hopped down once again, walking towards the ladies' room. As she did so she got many looks from sketchy men.

"Hey." She smiled politely at the girl, who was currently washing her hands.

"Hi?"

"Sorry, this is weird right? I bet you don't get a lot of girls starting up conversations in the bathroom. I'm just having a really bad night. Did you see that hot guy at the bar in the blue shirt?" Opal lied swiftly, hoping to get her to open up and reveal something.

"Yeah sure, cute guy, brunette? Flirting with a lot of girls. He try something with you?"

"That's my boyfriend. I swear he's flirted with like every girl who walks in there."

"You should get you a better guy. My boyfriend is great, little tense and preoccupied but he's never unfaithful. Buys me plenty too. Never hurts am I right?" She laughed lightly at her, she seemed genuinely nice which made Opal feel bad.

"God no, new purses could never hurt, You're totally right tho. Thanks for the help."

"Sure no problem."

"So he's rich rich then?"

"God yes. He's got this amazing apartment in Brooklyn and the view is just beautiful." She gushed at her.

"Looks like you've got yourself a keeper." Opal had to admit it did sound nice, she wondered whether she knew what her boyfriend did.

"Yeah, well see you later?"

"Yeah, thanks for the talk I needed that."

"Hey I didn't manage to get much out of her but she did mention this apartment in Brooklyn we might be able to find." Opal pulled out her phone as the girl left the bathroom.

"Opal Carson. How very nice to see you." Opal turned around to see a guy, tall and angry.

"Ohh he knows my name I'm so scared." She reached a hand to her mouth in fake fear.

"Opal? What? Who's in there." Lucas' voice sounded in her ear.

"I'll have to call you back I'm a little preoccupied." She replied before hanging up.

The guy charged forward, attempting to take Opal, but her quick thinking allowed her to kick his legs, sending him flying to the floor. Before she could knock him out he swiped her ankles making her also hit the ground. Darting back up she slammed her foot on his head, effectively knocking him out.

"Hey little lady why don't you put the gun down and follow me, or I'm going to have to shoot your little friend here." Another guy had entered the bathroom, hun to Lucas' head.

"By all means do, my boyfriend, well ex boyfriend has been cheating on me all night." Opal lied, keeping her cover going.

"You're still going to keep the cover going?"

"Cover?" Opal questioned in fake ignorance.

"Rodrigues, take them to the back for questioning."

"Sure boss." The guy reached forward and grabbed her arm, pulling her roughly towards the exit.
