My Agent

"Nice shirt, Bilkins," Brian says with a smirk as they walk into the room to check in.
"It's my day off," Bilkins tells him with a shrug.
"Yeah. Well, anyhow, this is the deal. Last night, Verone threatened a cop into giving us a window," Brian starts explaining what had happened.
"They're driving to an airstrip, in the Keys, off of Nallwood Avenue. Verone has a plane there, and he's taking off for good," Alex takes over, explaining what Monica has told her.
"Wait a minute. How do you know this?" Markham asks confused.
"Monica," Alex answers him with a small smile.
"She's doin' her job. She warned us," Rome adds.
"She warned you about what?" Bilkins asks as he looks between the three.
"Verone plans to kill us after we give him the money," Brian answers him.
"Driving into an ambush was never part of the deal. I'm calling this off," Bilkins says as he turns to Markham.
"Like hell you are. This is a Customs case, Bilkins. No one's calling this off unless I do," Markham tells him before turning back to the three. "Look. This is real simple. You make the run. You get Verone and his cash together so I can move in for the bust. All right? You don't, I will find enough charges on all three of you to make you disappear." Markham then hands a walkie talkie to each Brian and Rome. "Take these. We're gonna have G.P.S. On you the whole time to make sure you don't get any cute ideas."
"And to make sure nothing happens to them, right?" Bilkins asks him.
"Yeah, right," Markham says sarcastically before leaving.

"The guy's a dick, man," Rome says as they walk outside.
"Yep," Alex says in agreement.
"Let me get this right. If we don't do this, then we go to jail. But if we do it, then Verone's gonna kill us," Rome states the facts.
"It's a hell of a deal, huh?" Brian asks as they walk over to look out at the water.
"Yeah. Maybe it is," Rome says with a shrug. "But I know this guy's got an ass full of loot that he's ready to dump in our cars. And I can think of two reasons why Verone doesn't need that money anymore."
"Ah, here we go," Alex says with a smirk as she leans against the rail of the pier.
"You and me. Just like the old days," Rome says with a smile. "Plus our girl here. What do you think?"
"I think they messed with the wrong people. That's what I think," Brian says before he and Rome fist bump as Alex pulls out her phone, with a plan in mind.
"Yo, Tej. What's up, bro?" Alex says into the phone, having called her brother.
"What up, sis?" Tej asks his sister.
"Hey, how quickly can you organize?" Alex asks as she and Brian share a smile.

"Look, folks, if y'all really wanna carry out this plan, it's definitely the best place to do it. What do y'all think, man?" Tej asks as he shows them the place.
"I think it's perfect," Alex answers giving her brother a hug as Brian nods in agreement before they go to the garage.

"Hey, man, this thing's clean," Brian says as he and Alex look under the blue car.
"We need to figure out a way to get rid of Roberto and Enrique," Alex says as she looks at the cars.
"Hey, Jimmy," Brian says as he stands next to Alex.
"Yeah. What up?" Jimmy responds as he turns to face them.
"We have any half-empty bottles of nitrous laying around?" Brian asks causing Alex to look at him confused.
"Sure, but Alex and I already loaded you for spray," Jimmy answers him.
"No. I'm thinkin' we may need it for somethin' else, cause our cars may get a little crowded, you know?" Brian explains causing Alex to smirk at him.
"You're a genius," Alex tells him before giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Man, when you start eatin' so much?" Brian asks as they walk over to a pier.
"I was in jail, brah. I know how shitty the grub is on the inside. With the way things is shapin' up out here right now, it'll be a matter of time before I'm back in there or dead. So I'm tryin' to eat all I can while I can," Rome explains to him. "Plus the doctor tell me I got a high metabolism."
"Man, you remember us growing up? You know, playing football in the dirt. You know, gettin' in trouble, all the stupid things we did," Brian reminisces before turning serious. "When you got busted, you know, whether I was a cop or not, you know, if there was anything I could've done, I would've done it, and I just want you to know that."
"Is that why you let that dude go in L.A.?" Rome asks him.
"Yeah. I think that had a lot to do with it," Brian answers him with a nod.
"When I got busted, it wasn't your fault. It was all on me, Mr. Roman Pearce... wild-and-out crazy, man. No one can tell me nothin. Ridin' solo," Rome explains.
"Yeah, well, not anymore. Not anymore, bro," Brian tells him before they fist bump.
