Diamond in the Rough

By Nickelina

South of the Border

The intercept team sat in their vehicles at the temporary base camp in New Mexico. Mainframe sat in front of a small computer terminal in the back of the mobile communications unit, waiting for Lady Jayes G.P.S. signal. GI Joe had already located the COBRA stronghold, and they were keeping an eye on air traffic traveling to and from it. Flint paced back and forth nearby. He went over every detail in his mind. Every rendezvous point, seizing the shipment, and getting Jaye out if she were to run into trouble. It was the last point that he dwelled on. He felt horrible about the previous night. There was no reason to confront her the way he did. Flint knew thatLady Jayeknew what she was doing. He knew that she could hold her own and why she took the mission a step further. After he had worked with Trigger all day, he felt her frustration. As he thought about Trigger, he looked over and saw him drawing pictures in the sand. Sighing, Flint walked over to put him in line for the second time today.

Trigger!

Trigger jumped up. Yes, Sir?

Are you ready for intercept?

Yes I am, Sir.

Are you sure about that?

Yes, sir, I was just drawing picture of the mountains in the sand. He was unaware of how close Flint was to him, and that Flint had noticed that the picture was of a crudely drawn nude body.

Nice picture. I didnt realize that mountains had legs. Flint was unimpressed. Wipe it out. We dont need anything like that to show we were here. You should know that.

Got it, Sir. Trigger slowly started to wipe out his drawing as Flint walked away. He looked up at Dusty who had come over to check on him, and started to laugh. Too bad I wasnt good at portraits. I could add the face of Lady Jaye to this and whoo hoo!

Dustys eyes grew wide. He had seen Flint turn around and start walking back in their direction. He was closing in fast.

Trigger continued, he was unaware of what was happening. It would be like the desert version of Playboy! But without the articles, because lets face it, who reads the art…

What did you just say? Flint stood so close to Trigger they were nose to nose. Before he could answer Flint asked him again. I asked you a question!

I just said that I could draw…

Who! Flint was irate.

Lady Jaye! Dude, whats your problem?

Flint pushed Trigger back away from him. Trigger lost his balance and fell backwards. He thought Flint had pushed him down intentionally and he went on the defensive. He kicked Flints legs out from under him sending him falling on his back. Now both men were on the ground, they lunged at each other, punching and rolling in the sand. It was a few minutes before most of the other Joes knew what was going on, and a few more before Roadblock showed up to pull Flint off Trigger.

Man! Get yourself together! Roadblock said as he grabbed Flint up off the ground and swung him around to face him. We have no time for this.

Youre insane! Trigger yelled at Flint, as he was being held back by Dusty. You cant push me to the ground! Youre probably just pissed cause I have a better chance of tappin that ass than you!

Not even Roadblocks massive frame could hold Flint back . He broke free and ran full speed at Trigger, and grabbed his arm. Keep it up and Ill pound you right into the sand so fast, your head will spin! Flint yelled at him.

Youll pound me? Step up! Trigger yelled and put up his fists.

Flint! Mainframe broke through the crowd of men. I picked up Lady Jayes signal, ETA to COBRA, less than an hour.

Flint put his arms back at his sides and took a deep breath. Men, get ready. He started to walk towards the truck with out looking back and with Cover Girl in tow.

What the hell was that? Are you out of your mind? She brushed sand from the back of his shirt.

Did you hear what he said?

I heard him, Flint. Trigger has a big mouth. He thinks Lady Jaye is attractive. A lot of guys do. Granted, the whole tapping of the ass comment was out of line.

He slowed to meet her gait. Im looking out for her, just like I do you.

Cover Girl laughed. Thats a bunch of bullshit. And you know it.

What is?

I look out for you too, She mimicked his voice. And you know if Lady Jaye heard you say that you were looking out for her, she would knock you on your ass, again. She doesnt need looking after.

Okay, let me ask you this. He stopped and looked right at her. What if that was you? What if he was talking like that about you?

Flint, they all do. I work in the motor pool, remember? She smiled at him, winked and walked back toward her jeep.

That man is a nutcase! Trigger said, re-packing his gear. Good teammate, makes me really wanna work for him. Im talking to Hawk as soon as we get back. Putting his hands on me, Ill be damned.

Just calm down. Roadblock reassured him, Flint needs to make sure that each person on this team is treated with respect. He keeps his eye out for all of us. He has to. And not just when were in the field.

Well he can keep his eye off me. I dont know how many times I have to tell people. Trigger brushed the sand off his legs and started to walk away.

We all need looking out for, and we look out for each other. Dusty put a protective arm around Trigger. Just let it roll. When we get back to base, just apologize to Flint, Im sure hell do the same.

Trigger shook Dustys arm off. Like hell I will. And like I said, I look out for no one but myself. He broke through the crowd of Joes still watching. Roadblock stepped in front of him to block his way.

No. That is how people get hurt. In combat we work as a team, we are one. When were not in combat we work as a team, we are one. One of our own is on the other side. One wrong move and shes gone. Anything happens to her, it wont be just be Flint youll need to worry about. Get it, my man? Trigger tried to side step Roadblock, but he was stopped by a giant hand on his chest. I said, you get it, my man?

Yeah, I get it. Trigger was slightly humbled by his encounter with Roadblock.

Now Boys! Roadblocks voice boomed with pride, Lets re-group and get those snakes!

As the men were returning to their vehicles, Flint walked by for one fast, final check and to make a small change in the line up. He knew he had done what he always promised himself he would never do, lose his temper with his men. Especially over Lady Jaye. There were a few who knew about their relationship, he still needed to have that distance with her in front of the rest of the team. Personal versus professional, and professional always won.

He sighed and kicked a clump of sand. He knew he was going to have to apologize, or have Hawk on his ass. And it would do no good to have tension between the men before a confrontation with COBRA. Once he got to the Awe Strikers he told them the new set up.

Wild Bill, get you and your men in the air and get us some cover, stay out of radar range. Dusty, Footloose, Cover Girl, and Mainframe get those vehicles moving. Mainframe, make sure you dont lose Lady Jayes signal. I want that town pinpointed exactly. Roadblock, you are responsible for getting Lady Jaye out if things get hairy, dont blow her cover before then. Trigger, youre with me.

Are you sure? Roadblock raised his eyebrow.

Positive. Come on, lets go. Yo Joe! Flint patted Trigger on the back as they walk to the Dragonfly. Before they got in Flint stopped and extended his hand to Trigger. No hard feelings?

Trigger reluctantly extended his. Yeah, no hard feelings.

Good, Ill explain once were in the air.

Okey dokey.

Okey dokey? Flint mouthed. Get in. He started up the Dragonfly and began his take off procedures.

Trigger strapped on his belt and began to pretend to touch all the various buttons on the back of the seat, and ceiling. Beep beep, boop. Beep beep. Bridge to Captain Kirk. Laying in course change six mark one.

Trigger! Will you shut up?

Aw come on Flint, a little humor never hurt.

This is not a space ship, and we have business to attend to.

That would be a Starship. Our little lady would know that. Shes a Trekkie. She just doesnt know it yet.

We are not going to the stars. What is our objective today? Or are you in space land?

Our objective is to get those rocks and get that little lady out.

Flints was starting to get angry again. That little lady has a name.

Yeah I know, Lady Jaye. Closet Trekkie.

Shes not into Star Trek, Trigger, Im telling you.

Yes she is, we talked about it in Operations, she knows the nitty gritty.

She talks about Star Trek? Flint was totally surprised. He didnt even know she watched it, then again, she could have just been bullshitting her way through a conversation, and he wouldnt put it past her.

Oh yeah, we all do. Shes great to talk to when shes not yelling or bitching at me or ignoring me, which is whenever we are within five feet of each other. So, the two- ten minute conversations weve had have been fun.

Triggers last comment humored Flint. He knew exactly how Lady Jaye was with Trigger. He had been there himself at one time. You have to understand how Lady Jaye works. Shes professional, always. Shes the best at what she does, and gets extremely annoyed when you dont give as much as she thinks you should. Thats why I enjoy pairing up with her in the field. We push each others limits and get a lot accomplished.

So thats why you knocked me to the ground?

I didnt knock you to the ground, first of all. Trigger, you have to have respect for everyone on this team. I just will not allow talk like that. You are working closely with Lady Jaye and she deserves more than that.

Well if it makes you feel better I wouldnt mind seeing Cover Girl in that sand either. God, what a body, what a face! Trigger laughed.

If she heard you say that she would probably knock you out. Now shut up.

What, you think the girls could kick my ass? I doubt it. Girls, ha!

Dont say that. Ive seen Scarlett do some serious damage with their bare hands. Flint said.

Really? Trigger grew quiet. Women who could hold their own, this he would have to see.

So you have a thing going on with her?

A thing going on with whom? Flint asked.

Lady Jaye.

Flint hesitated before answering. What kind of question is that?

Come on, Flint, you can tell me. Its just you and me in here.

That is none of your business, Trigger.

Ahh, did I hit a sore spot?

Flint refused to answer any more of Triggers questions.

Running out of friendly conversation with Flint, Trigger chose to remain quiet the rest of the way, until he spied a few buildings on the horizon. You see that? That must be our place!

Good eye, Trigger! Flint radioed the test of the team and told them to regroup and stay low. Once everyone, but the sky force was assembled, they sat and waited for Lady Jaye to check in with the details of the COBRA camp.

The Extensive Enterprises Jet landed on the runway and taxied to the end, stopping before one of the large, shoddily built buildings. Two Crimson Guards exited before Tomax and Xamot, dressed in their casual suits came down the steps. They were followed by Lady Jaye, once again disguised as Daisy Miller, in a green pants suit. The broach on the jacket served as a two-way communicator. The suit was better for running in, she had thought that morning. She carried only a small purse with a tracking device and switch blade inside. Not her weapon of choice, but it was a lot more inconspicuous than a pack of javelins or an M-16. If worse came to worse, she could slit the throat of the enemy and take his weapon. But only if her life was in extreme danger.

The heat was oppressive and she was glad that the building they entered was air-conditioned. When her eyes adjusted to the light, it didnt take long for her to notice the blue flag hanging on the wall. On it was a large red COBRA symbol.

Well, Ill be damned. I wonder how much the cooling bill is here. She commented under her breath. She turned around she found Tomax and Xamot conversing with a few of the Crimson Guardsmen. Lady Jaye politely introduced herself. As she made pleasantries with them, she had the feeling that someone, out of sight, was staring at her. She had to get out of the building. She asked Xamot if she could get a tour of sorts around the village. He put her in the care of one of the Crimson Guardsmen to walk her around, and warned them to stay close and not to be too nosy. He explained that this was not the place for a beautiful lady, and he would be mortified if she would be injured. She smiled and thanked him. As they left the building she heard a voice that she never expected to be there.

You fools! Bringing a civilian along! Have you lost your collective minds? Cobra Commander said loud enough for her to hear.

A small time jeweler from Minnesota is not a threat to COBRA, Tomax started.

Weve checked her out, shes clean. Xamot finished.

Everyone is a threat to COBRA! You are no better that Zartan! Thinking with…

Our heads? The twins said.

Cobra Commander, what better way to squelch suspicion of COBRA activities then to involve civilians? Remember who put up the money for your little diamond expedition.

Besides, Tomax interrupted. This is probably the most excitement the poor farm girl has seen. And if she causes trouble, we can, dispose of her.

Yes, Cobra Commander said as he smirked. One can always have an accident in the desert.

Pre-requisite number one for being COBRA, be stupid. Number two, be gullible. Jaye couldnt help but giggle aloud at the thought. Now not only was she away from the prying eye of Cobra Commander, but she had access to everything in the village, and her boys were just a comm link away.

She did a great job of playing the part of a woman who had never seen a setup such as this. She got not only a walk around the village, but they let her in each and every one of the small buildings and tents. One of the first was a small dining hall. Go figure, they have to have a place to slack off. A bit further down was a tent with various boxes, and crates that she couldnt make out. Across the way there was an armory. Taking a mental note of its location, she also checked what kinds of weapons they had with them. She made note of each HISS tank, every Trouble Bubble, every guard. As they got closer, back to the main building, she knew she had to make a move fast.

Im sorry to trouble you, but do you have a necessary room?

The guards just looked at each other.

A rest room? I just need to freshen up a bit. Between the flight and this heat, Im positive I look a mess.

Well, uhh, The guard scratched his head, There are facilities over there. He pointed to a small home behind the dining hall.

Thank you. Jaye walked away smirking. She knew that the guard wouldnt walk in with her. Once inside, she pulled her tracking device and made sure it was still working. She wanted to switch the channel so the signal would be stronger. Before she could there was a knock on the door. She quickly put the tracking device away. She opened the door and stepped down, only to run into Xamot.

Oh, Im sorry.

Where were you? His tone was harsh.

I wanted to freshen up a bit.

He grabbed her by the elbow and led her back to the main building. Not snooping too much, I hope.

Not at all. She squirmed to get out of his grasp. Is there some sort of problem?

Oh, no my dear, there is just too much for your eyes to see here. Shall we get out of this heat?

Yes. Jaye breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that she had been discovered. She walked with Xamot back to the building that they had arrived in and he motioned for her to take a seat.

Tomax walked through an inner doorway and stood next to her. Im sorry for the delay my dear, we have just one business deal to attend to before we show you the shipment. Is that ok?

Jaye batted her eyes at him. That will be just fine. Ill wait right here.

The twins walked around the corner. Jaye looked around and noticed that there was only one Siegie to guard the entrance to the door on the inside. She had make sure that her tracking device was working or call her boys, and it had to be now. She walked out of the building and back towards the dining hall. She risked everything by talking on her communicator.

Go. Mainframes voice sounded over the speaker.

The Commander is here.

What? Flints voice was heard in the background.

In the large building at the end of the run way. Thats not all. The place is crawling with troops. There has to be more vehicles somewhere.

What else, Jaye? Flint took his turn.

I dont have time.

Were you able to get anything from Cobra Commander?

No. But from the looks of this place, I dont think its just a drop. This has to be a stronghold. I think we are outnumbered.

Lady Jaye? Mainframe was now back on, Do not lose your personal tracking device. That way we can keep an eye on your exact location, you know, be the needle in the haystack.

I have to go.

Jaye, we need more information. Flint was getting impatient.

Jaye out.

May I ask who you were talking to? Tomax asked her while she was walking back to the building.

No one, I was just making comments to myself. Jaye was praying that he had not heard any of her conversation.

That is not very funny. Are you trying to play games with us?

What are you talking about? Im sorry if I did something to upset you.

We need you now. There is a shipment ready for your viewing, and there is someone we would like you to meet.

Jaye walked with Tomax into the building and into the back room where she had seen him go earlier. She followed him into the back room where she saw three small briefcases sitting on a table in front of Cobra Commander.

Did you see the diamond? Duke asked. Everyone was back in Las Vegas, as the day turned out to be more of a look-see than a recovery. The Joes were just too outnumbered.

No, well, not the diamond. Replied Jaye, who was digging through her bag to find her contact case.

Duke was visiting Jaye in her room after the team had done a debriefing. He was hoping that maybe he could get a little more information about the COBRA camp from her, and possibly they could devise a plan to get a hold of the diamond that they needed. The rest of the team would be there in a few minutes.

Then did you see any diamonds?

Well there were three cases. Two were filled with smaller stones, and the other the Commander had in front of him. He was being really greedy about it. He kept touching it and tapping the cover.

Duke laughed. Well what did you expect? Was he drooling over it too?

No, Jaye couldnt help but start to laugh with Duke. He never opened it though. I thought he would to make sure it was still there.

Well, do you think it was in there?

Oh yeah. Definitely.

Just as Jaye was going to take out her contacts there was a knock at the door. Duke put himself in the bathroom and partially closed the door. She looked through the peep hole and saw Flint impatiently waiting to get in.

Ahh, men in uniform, just what I want to see! She said as she opened the door for him.

At least its the right uniform. It could be worse. Flint said as he walked through the door.

Ripcord and Trigger followed him in, both in animated conversation.

Flint, you spoke too soon. Jaye said as Trigger stopped in front of her.

Hi sweetie, Im home! Trigger said as he planted an exaggerated kiss on her cheek. How was your day? Did you have a good time with your new boyfriends?

Shut up, Trigger. Lady Jaye shut the door and walked back to where Duke was.

Any new developments? Flint asked.

No. I was telling Duke about how Cobra Commander went on and on about the COBRA organization. How great it was, and all the good things they do.

Thinking of joining? Duke joked with her.

They do have some great benefits! She joked back.

Flint peeked out through the blinds, annoyed with the fact that Duke had been up here all this time with Jaye. He wasnt about to sit and listen to their jokes. So what is our next plan of action?

We some how have got to get those diamonds. The twins have them. We need to get them.

Before they leave Las Vegas? Flint was surprised.

Why not? It beats having to go to Extensive Enterprises in New York. Jaye looked at Flint and knew what he was thinking. She walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder, diffusing the jealousy she knew was building.

Why dont you just go and get them? Ripcord asked. You know where the room is.

It cant be that simple. Duke added.

Its not, Jayes tone of voice commanded everyone attention. We are in lot deeper than we thought coming down here. We play it carefully, or well be in deep shit.

Well, maybe if you werent such a bandit, have to do everything your self, my way or the highway… Trigger said.

Stop right there, Trigger. She walked closer to him. If you wouldnt have started off with giving wrong names at the first meeting, among other things

Oh, come on, Im married but going off with rich business men, yeah thats believable. Let me open my shirt and give those freaky twins a little peek.

Jaye was losing her temper fast. Trigger, if you dont stop right now…

Flint stepped between them to stop the fight. Both of you! Be quiet!

If I could just slap him and get away with it I would, Jaye whispered to Ripcord. She knew she couldnt control her anger, so she walked into the bathroom and slammed the door.

Ripcord started to follow her, and Duke shook his head no.

Cant you two at least pretend to get along? Ripcord asked Trigger.

I try, she wont help. He shrugged.

What did I tell you? Flint got right in Triggers face. When are you going to learn? You have to respect your partner, and learn to work together.

I respect you Sir, but she is making it very hard to respect her.

Well, the two of you need to fix whatever is broken between you and do it fast.

Ripcord walked to the bathroom door and knocked softly. Jaye turned to handle just enough to pop the door open. She was sitting on the edge of the bathtub staring at the wall. Ripcord stepped in and closed the door. Without saying a word, he sat next to her, giving her silent comfort. She cracked her knuckles and sighed. After another minute she got up, and smoothed down the blond wig she still had on her head. She opened the door and walked out. Ripcord followed her.

Sorry folks. Now, where were we? Jaye walked past Trigger and sat on the bed.

We were thinking about a way to get the diamond then someone started to throw a temper… Trigger caught himself before going any further.

I got it! Ripcord said.

What? The four of them asked at the same time.

Since Lady Jaye is being the cheating wife already, sorry Jaye, I couldnt resist, Ripcord said as he smiled at her. Why doesnt she go to their room, give them a little too much to drink and maybe they will just hand it over.

What? Duke was confused at first, then started to smile. Is she supposed to put the diamonds in her purse and walk out?

It wouldnt be the first time. Ripcord winked at Jaye.

Ripcord! Be quiet! No one was supposed to know about that. She winked back at him.

Duke paced the room. He looked over at Flint and they looked at each other with a knowing look. A plan was brewing between the two of them.

Flint took out his cell phone. Mainframe, get to Lady Jayes room and bring a floor plan of Bellagios Villa One.

The group sat huddled on the floor, going over the plans for Villa One. Flint mapped out exactly where each person was going to be, and how the take was going to go down. If it went as planned, Jaye would go in, meet with the twins, and while she had them distracted, a two man team would sneak in and get the diamond. Before the twins would know what had happened, Jaye would walk out. It was as simple of a plan as they could think of.

Jaye made the phone call, and the twins were expecting her. It took less than a half hour to get everyone in place. Flint and Jaye were the last to leave her room. Before she walked out he grabbed her arm. The more I think about this, the more I dont like it.

They both new this could be one of the most dangerous things they had ever done to get information. She was going in unarmed, save for the small heart-shaped pendant that was wired as a transmitter. The signal it sent out would let the others know when she found the diamond, and where her location was when she found it. Its only other function would be to let the others know she was in danger. It was the safest way, in case she was searched. It was against Flints advisement, but it was how it had to be.

Take this with you. It will make me feel better. He pulled his Swiss Army knife from his shirt pocket.

Jaye laughed as she took it. Thanks. I can whittle my way out of danger. Youre so thoughtful!

He pulled her into his arms and held her. For a moment, he was lost. He wished that he could keep his arms around her for protection but it could not be. He knew that the Crimson Guard Commanders were more dangerous than they let on. Flint took a deep breath, and said the words he always said to her when they parted ways before danger. Please be careful.

I will.

If anything happens, wait here for me. He put two fingers over his heart.

Even through her contacts her eyes sparkled. You wait for me, as well.

Flint paused briefly before continuing. Lady Jaye, be safe.

And you.

He lowered his head and planted a soft kiss on her lips.

It seemed like forever before they let go of each other.

He opened the door for her and when they entered the hall, they went separate ways.

Duke and Ripcord stood near the stairwell in the hallway while Flint and Trigger were at the opposite end. The rest of the team was directly above them on the next floor. Both pairs were waiting for the signal. When it arrived, Flint and Trigger would enter the room, Duke and Ripcord would keep an eye out for any problems, if they arose. Flint and Trigger made a quick change in their strategy before going in. Flint would be the look out, while Trigger made the grab. Thus allowing Flint to clear any room before they entered.

Im looking out for you.

Trigger was annoyed. He was tired of telling people that he would look out for himself. No need, I can handle it.

No, Im going to cover you.

I can look out for myself.

No, you cant. I have your back, you have mine. Thats how this is going to work.

Have it your way. Trigger double checked his revolver. You obviously know what youre doing. Ill follow your lead, and learn from you.

Flint looked over at Trigger. Yeah, learn from me.

Hey, since were just sitting here, can I ask you something?

It better be important.

Trigger lowered his voice to below a whisper. Well, it depends on what you consider important. My inquiring mind wants to know

Flint hesitated. What? He knew the question Trigger was going to ask. Yes, she is.

Whoa! I didnt even ask!

You didnt have to. I dont want any rumors started, and I dont want your big mouth spreading what you hear.

Its not my big mouth you should worry about, talk to Ripcord, hes the one who told me. I needed an explanation why you jumped me today.

I did not jump you today. Flint held up his hand and backed them up into the stairwell. Two Crimson Guardsmen walked out of the villa and down the hall. Aww, shit. How many do you think are in there?

Five, six total. Trigger pulled the safety off his revolver.

Flint radioed to Duke on the other side about the guards. They exited the floor on Dukes side, and two more entered the room. The guards on Dukes side could be sure that the break they took would be one they never return from.

The team sat quiet for a few more moments and it wasnt long before the private elevator doors opened and Jaye stepped out. Without a pause she walked to the door of the villa. After one knock she was let in, by the doorman, who shut the door behind her, and walked to the elevator.

Flint, why do you think he left? Trigger nudged him in the shoulder.

Im not sure. Waiting for the girl, send the doorman away.

Maybe they just want to make our job easy.

I doubt that. Come on Jaye, find it, and give us the signal.

Dont rush her, Flint, Trigger joked. She likes to work on her own sweet time. Maybe she will have something by tomorrow morning.

Shut up, Trigger.
