City by the Sea

Selena

I look at Mark and nudge him, "You and Jaylee a thing?"

He looks at me, "What do you mean?"

I shrug and catch him staring at me, "I actually...have no idea."

Mark

Me and Jaylee?

Shaking my head in a weirded out manner, I focus back on my beer and wonder when the shipment will be ready.

Oliver

I sigh and look at Charlotte, slightly irritated as it is, "Look, as I said before, I've never lost a partner. Stop worrying your little head and trust me. I received a tip to come here. Now either let me break in, or go sit in the car where you're guaranteed to be safe and sound."

Char

I sigh and move out of the way. 'I received a tip to come here.' Was that what the phone call was. I start to remember how the person on the other line said I was going to be useful. How?

Jaylee

I see Oilver's car pull up as he and his partner get out of the car, I fold my arms as I kept my phone in hand for t be ready to call Mark when Oliver's job was done. The two came close to approached me but I pretended like I didn't know they were here for me.

"Are you the person who called in a tip to police station ma'am?" Oliver asked pretending not to know me.

"Ah, I didn't think they take me seriously. But yes I am, two people a male and female went into that were house over there not to long ago, I was worried cause they didn't go into it though conventional means." I said.

"Could you explain what you mean by convetional means ma'am?" Oliver's partner asked.

"They went in though an air vent not to far from the door, I'm not sure what they were there for but I saw them." I said.

"You go check it out, I'll get more details from her." Oliver said.

Oliver waited for his partner to get out of earshot before giving me an irritated look.

"What do you want me to do?" He asks.

"Get the door open to the ware house." I said.

Selena

Loving his facial expression, I chuckle and shake my head at him, "I was jokin'."

Mark

I down my drink and sit back, closing my eyes as my head spins.

Oliver

I sigh and walk over to Charlotte, going to the door and picking the lock. Pulling my gun out, I look at Charlotte and nod my cue, waiting for her to take the first step in as I glance back at Jaylee.

Char

He nods and opens the door. I go in, gun in hand, and scoop out the room. Seeing it is all clear, I sign them in. “Your good.” I say. I remember that she said that she saw the two in the other building. “I am going to check out security cams and ask around.” I say.

The two nod and I run to the building.

Jaylee

Ah crap, the second she said security camera's I knew I was in trouble. Sorry Oliver but it seems your "Never lost a partner" ends here, I slowly follow a few steps behind her as she enters the secrurity office checking over the computers she witnesses my breaking in it wouldn't have been discovered until the manager comes in at the end of the day to see it and I would have been long gone. But now she found out about it and she had to die, she turns and my gun clicks as I have it right in her face.

"To bad, we could have been friends. But you had to snoop around with the camera's and not be as stupid as your partner, who by the way won't be seeing daylight for some time. Don't worry he isn't dead, he's just far to valuable to me to die." I said.

Selena

My head spins and I yawn, closing my eyes and deciding getting drunk wasn't my best idea. I take my head in my hands and take a deep breath.

Mark

I doze off for a bit, dreaming of crazy things.

```````````
Oliver

I find Jaylee missing and swear, running off after where Charlotte went. I see her holding a gun up to her head and I swallow, drawing mine and aiming it at the back of her head.

"Drop the gun, Jaylee," I order, "This wasn't the plan."

Char

My heart starts to beat faster and faster. I have had this happen before, but only one person stayed alive. I slowly turn around with my hands up. "This was not part of the plan."

I eye him. "You knew about this?" I ask.

He does me reply and he looks ashamed.

"Son of a bi*ch!" I say. I press a button on my Bluetooth. With my arm, calling my Las partner. I hear her answer, and try to give her as much information as I can. "I am so disappointed. I am ashamed to call you a partner. I came to Orlando to stop Make and Selena, and this is what happened." I say

Jaylee

"Walk away Oliver, even the best laid plans have problems. Your partner should have gone searching instead of you, remember who kept you from prison when you killed your dad and sister for insurence money. Me, remember who holds the leash Oliver." I said.

Selena

He dozes off and I stand, "I'm going upstairs," I say to no one in particular, "Come if you want."

Mark

I stir in my sleep, hearing Selena say something about leaving.

``````````
Oliver

I nearly drop my gun when she mentions what I did in front of Charlotte. Swallowing, my hand wavers and I bring it down. The memory coming back to haunt me, I blink and drop the gun on the floor. I take a few steps back and run a hand through my hair before turning my back to it all.

Char

I watch his emotions stir in his head. “What happened to not losing a partner? Are you just going to let me die with out a fight?”
