Diamond in the Rough

By Nickelina

Viva Las Vegas

“Just one more minute!” Trigger yelled from the ditch on the side of the road.

Jaye rolled her eyes and tapped her fingers on the steering wheel of the jeep. “What are you doing?” She yelled at him.

“Almost done!” He sing-songed back.

“We don’t have time for this.” She muttered and got out of the car. Walking to the edge of the road she peered down and saw Trigger relieving himself. “Ohmigod. Trigger! We are not lost in the woods. Couldnt you have held it?”

“No.” He turned around and zipped his pants, “When nature calls, I answer.”

“You are a pig.”

Trigger laughed, “Yeah, you love it.” He walked up the ditch and got into the jeep.

The two were driving from the command center in Utah to Las Vegas. The trip so far had been uneventful but the drive was getting long. Jaye took a moment and looked out over the desert to find a moments peace. She was going to need it. She focused on the mountains on the horizon and took a deep breath. Her moment of solitude was disrupted by the blaring of a horn. Her head snapped around and she glared at Trigger who was laughing.

“God, give me strength to keep my temper in check with him, I want none of his blood on my hands today.” She ended her prayer and headed back towards the jeep. Once she got in, it started all over again.

“I thought we were in a hurry.”

“We are, Trigger.” Jaye started the jeep.

“Then lets stop day dreaming, Daisy, and get going,” He clapped his hands.

Jaye shut the jeep off. “What did you just call me?”

“Nothing. Daisy. Damn, why are you so jumpy?”

“I’m not jumpy, my name is not Daisy, and we have a job to do, thank you.” She started the jeep back up and pulled back on the road. To keep him from talking again, she went over the key points of the days mission. “Ok, today we are looking for diamonds. You and I are looking to buy some for our store. We are looking to see how big the tie between Mirrored Reflections and Extensive Enterprises is, or if there even is a tie. It seems as if whenever Extensive Enterprises is around, so is COBRA. So, we have a talk with who is in charge and see what we can find out.”

“Are we actually going to be buying diamonds? Because I got this ring.. “

“No,” She interrupted him. “We are just looking to see if Mirrored Reflections can supply our store. If you read the brief before we left base you would know that there will be no shopping on this mission.”

“Yeah, I read it, every page.” Trigger feigned a yawn.

“Good. You can never be too prepared. We need to keep our eyes peeled for any funny stuff.”

“Well, it sounds easy enough.” Trigger spit his gum out of the window.

“It is. We rendezvous with the rest of the team at 1600, at the undisclosed location. We will be picked up by taxi. That way, we can mingle in with the tourists and not be followed.”

“Why undisclosed? Why cant it be like on the corner of fifth and Main?

“Because, its supposed to be secret. Besides, if you read your brief, you know where it is.

“I know where it is, Lady Jaye. What if we get separated?

“We’re not going to, stop fussing and fretting. This is a cake walk.”

Two hours later they arrived at their location. They stopped at a motel quite a ways off of The Strip. Jaye pulled into the parking lot and stopped the car. She got out and grabbed her bag out of the back and walked to the office. Trigger sat in the jeep and waited for her to get a room. After a few minutes, she came back to the jeep.

“This is where we are staying?” Trigger asked disgustedly.

“Yeah, did you think the government was going to put us up at Caesars Palace?” She laughed, “This is just for us to get ready. Get your bag, this jeep wont be here for long.”

Trigger sat on the bed attempting to tie his striped tie that didn’t quite go with his pale yellow shirt and dark dress slacks.

Jaye walked out of the bathroom wearing a blue power suit. A long and curly blond wig was on head. “We have twenty minutes to finish getting ready and meet the gentlemen from Mirrored Reflections at the Bellagio. How close are you to being ready?”

“T minus 4 minutes, mission control.” He flashed a smile at her. “So we can’t stop at the slots?”

“Nope, Mr. Astronaut, Sir,” She smiled back at him. “I thought you would be a blackjack player.”

“Oh no! Slots all the way, baby! Maybe a little roulette, maybe.

Jaye grabbed a box of contact lenses out of her bag and headed back towards the bathroom. “You really want to have fun gambling? Go to Monte Carlo.”

“Monaco? Damn, you get around on military wages.”

“Family trip before the military.

My family didnt go on trips. My family never went anywhere. I never had a family.

Thats too bad. You should go on your own. Now hurry up, we have to go.

At the Bellagio, in a conference room on the third floor, Extensive Enterprises had set up its diamond store for its exclusive buyers. Tomax and Xamot sat at a long table, dressed impeccably as always, every seam pressed on their black suits and every hair in place. Before them sat a metal briefcase. Crimson Guards in plain clothes stood at either side of the room, as the next set of buyers walked through the door.

“Ahh..” They both stood up. “Mr. and Mrs. Miller, how are you today?” The twins said in unison.

“Fine, fine and how are you?” Lady Jaye extended her hand. She had to hide the surprise she was sure was on her face. It was obvious that Mirrored Reflections was not a separate company from Extensive Enterprises, but Extensive Enterprises itself. With her long blond wig and blue contacts she felt confident speaking with a thick mid-western accent and not having the twins notice her. She had come for a link to COBRA, it wouldnt take long now.

“We understand that you are interested in buying diamonds.” Tomax gestured them to sit.

Trigger held Jaye’s chair for her as she sat. She straightened her dark blue skirt as she shifted her leg into a more comfortable position. Trigger sat next to her, looking like a fish out of water.

“I’m sorry,” Trigger extended his hand. “I did not properly introduce us, I’m Bruce and this is my wife Daisy.”

Jaye turned her face to him and slightly gave him the evil eye. He was going to pay for that one.

“Nice to meet you.” Xamot responded, unimpressed. “And how many diamonds are you interested in buying?”

Jaye took over from here. She was not about to let Trigger do anymore of the talking, this was her mission. “We are looking for a small amount to start. Our shop is just opening.”

“A new store?” The twins asked.

“Yes, new. There is nothing like a small family run business. We specialize in custom made jewelry.” She smiled politely.

“And as for funding? What kind of collateral do you have to open your new business? As Mirrored Reflections owners, we would hate for you to make such a purchase, and then have your business fail.

Thankful that she had pulled all her most precious jewelry from the vault at the command center, she pushed a small file across the table with a diamond laden finger. At least they would think they were rich. Tomax straightened up and took notice of the three carat diamond as he took the file from her. Both twins looked at the file then looked at each other and smiled. Clearing their throats, Tomax started.

“Mr. Miller, where is your store located?” Xamot finished.

Trigger shifted nervously in his seat and looked at Jaye. “Uhh… in my wifes home town.”

Jaye looked over at him it hit her like a ton of bricks. Trigger must have just skimmed through the brief if he read it at all. She knew this was going to happen. She was totally on her own, with a screwball for backup. She was used to working on her own, but this time he could really blow their cover. And she was sure there were ample crimson guards wandering just outside this room. She switched into what she called ‘automatic mode’ and tried to get through the rest of the meeting with no further problems.

“Which is?” The twins leaned forward, skeptical.

“Minneapolis, of course! I thought you would recognize the accent.” She shrugged.

She had to use what information they had with a smattering of improvisation, to dig them out of the hole that Trigger was digging for them. “Actually, the store will be in a neighborhood known as 50th and France. Its Minneapolis answer to Rodeo Drive.”

Rodeo Drive in Minneapolis? We highly doubt that!” The twins laughed.

“Well, its just southwest of the downtown area. A very well- to- do community just far enough away to not be bothered, but close enough to still be in the city,” She smiled again, thankful for the trip she had just taken there with Cover Girl.

“Very well then. Would you like to see to see someofthe product? Xamot asked, popping the latches of the case.

“Yes, thank you,” Trigger was composed until he saw the contents of the case. “Holy shit!” He said just loud enough for Lady Jaye to kick him.

“Pardon?” Tomax eyed him.

“Oh excuse me, sorry.”

Lady Jaye picked up a loupe and began to inspect the diamonds. Trigger followed her lead. “These are impressive,” she placed the diamond back in the case. “Mirrored Reflections is their own supplier?”

“Correct. Mirrored Reflections supplies their own.”

“I see,” She pulled a blond lock behind her ear. “Where do you get them from? They are cut in Amsterdam obviously. I was hoping Ivory Coast for the raw stones.”

Tomax stood up behind the table. “You know your diamonds. Im impressed.”

“I like to know where my product comes from.”

“South America.” Xamot answered her.

“That isnt where the good ones come from, is it?” Trigger asked.

The twins looked at him dumbfounded. Jaye had to stop herself from slapping Trigger across the face.

“You’ll have to excuse my husband.” Jaye got up and walked over to Tomax. “Its definitely beauty running the show here.” She sat on the edge of the table.

“We see,” He replied.

Jaye looked him in the eyes. “Where in South America is the mine?” Just give me the location, she screamed in her head

“Like I said, dear,” Tomax leaned closer, “They are not our mines.”

“Oh, because,” She leaned in even closer, so Tomax had a full view of cleavage, “Depending on how many I want to buy, I would like to see the mine. Customers would love to hear stories about the stone they are buying.”

He took he eyes off her cleavage, “Perhaps, one day.”

“Perhaps.” Just as she thought the twins were perverts. She was willing to show a little skin to get what she needed from them. Maybe you could tell me, over dinner? She winked at him and moved her arm, her shirt falling open a little moreas she did. Xamot let his stare linger before looking at his brother. Both brothers had the same smirk, the same gleam in their eyes.

That could be arranged. Tomax came to join the conversation from across the room.

Will it be one? Xamot looked directly at her face. Or two? He nodded towards Trigger.

Jaye motioned both twins closer and she began to whisper. Gentleman, I said I was the beauty of the operation. A table for three will be just fine. All three looked at Trigger who was engrossed in the tray of diamonds in front of him.

Very well then. The twins straighten up and walk back to their chairs. We will continue the deal tonight over dinner. Our driver will pick you up at say, seven.

Jaye smileed at them. Do you know where to find me?

Well find you. We have connections. They said in unison.

Trigger finally snapped to attention. Are we done?

Yes, we are. Jaye said curtly. She motioned Trigger to the door. Tonight gentlemen.

Tonight, the twins said as the door closed.

Without saying a word, Trigger followed Jaye into the elevator. He remained upbeat, unaware of the wrath that was about to come. He pushed the lobby button and put his hands in his pockets. He began to whistle a country tune, and then stopped to ask Lady Jaye a question.

Arent you gonna call Hawk?

Shut up. She whispered through gritted teeth.

Well, are you?

Shut up.

Oh, I get it! You do things on your own. You renegade! He turned around and swung to punch her in the arm.

She caught his fist and squeezed it hard. I said, shut up.

You dont have to be so rough. Just then, the door opened.

Get outside and wait for the pick up.

Where are you going?

Never mind. She snapped.

We are supposed to be partners here Lady Jaye. You have to tell me.

Oh, Ill tell you something. First of all, you need to learn to read the briefs, and read them thoroughly. Second, if you dont know what is going on do not, and I repeat, do not open your mouth. By this time, one hand was on her hip, the other was in his face. Third, you never, ever mention anything about the Joe team to anyone at anytime. By the time she was done they were through the casino and at the taxi stand.

We were in an elevator! Trigger tried to justify himself.

She pulled him closer to the edge of the curb. That elevator could have been bugged by COBRA. I wouldnt put it past them.

We got what we came for, they have the diamonds. Did you see the inside of the case?

We didnt get shit. She said, her voice was filled with anger. An undistinguished taxi pulled up and Jaye opened the door. As Trigger got in the female driver turned around and smiled.

Where to, hot stuff.

Cover Girl, take Trigger to the rendezvous point. Have Duke call me on the secure line ASAP, She slammed the door shut before Trigger could put a word in. She walked to the front door of the taxi, leaned in the open window and sighed.

Are you ok? What went down? Cover Girl asked, concerned.

Im fine. I just have to do some damage control. Now go, I dont have a lot of time.

The taxi pulled away and Jaye took out her cell phone. Punching in an unrecognizable series of numbers, her call was connected.

Calling for an escort? The voice on the other line laughed.

Hey Mainframe, its Lady Jaye. I need you to set me up a reservation here under Daisy Miller, use a Minneapolis address and credit card. Pick the hotel and get back to me right away.

Will this be a single or double room, or can I interest you in a suite?

Cut the shit Mainframe, Im in a jam.

Sorry, Lady Jaye. Im on it. Can you stay on the line?

For a second.

Ok, I got you set up at the Sahara. Is that ok?

Its fine. Thanks hon.

Never a problem, anything else, let me know.

Will do, Jaye out.

Upstairs, Tomax and Xamot watched the altercation between Mr. and Mrs. Miller outside the hotel via closed circuit monitoring. Although there was no audio, they could tell there was quite an argument going on. They both watched in amusement as Daisy slammed the taxi door on her husband. They turned their attention away from the screen and to one of the Siegies.

Did anything happen in the elevator? Tomax asked.

Not that we were able to tell, sir, the audio seems to have cut out. We did catch him telling her to call someone.

The audio cut out? Xamot stood up.

Yes, sir, The Siegies replied.

Then fix it. I want to know everything that was said. Something about them isnt adding up.

Yes sir.

They turned their attention back to the surveillance video. They saw Daisy Miller place a call on her cell phone then re-enter the hotel. She disappeared into the casino.

Whats going on and where the hell are you? Flint snapped into the phone.

Im at Sahara. And I have dinner with the Crimson Twins at seven. Why? Lady Jaye told him.

Youre not going by yourself.

Yes, I am. She switched the phone to her other ear to put her earrings in and re-adjust her wig.

Youre having cover.

Its a simple Intel mission. I can do this. Its nothing.

Im sending Trig…

Not Trigger!

Yes, Trigger.

Better yet, why dont you send in a clown with big shoes and a bright red nose! That wont blow my cover at all.

He started this mission too.

And he fucked it up. Thats the reason I need to do this now.

Flint didnt hesitate to counter her attitude with his own. What tone are you using with me?

Oh dont do this! Im trying to tell you what went down today and youre talking about what tone of voice Im using with you?

I call the shots around here, Lady Jaye. Remember that. Anything you think you need to do goes past me first.

Oh god, youre joking right?” Jaye laughedsarcastically. “Do you want to finish this job?

Do you want a reprimand?

Lady Jaye refused to answer Flints question.

Flint paused; he knew she was close to the edge. He took a deep breath he continues. Tell me what happened.

Jaye told him the details of the meeting with the twins; of how Trigger was inattentive, how he didnt read the briefs, and how he had possibly blown their cover in the elevator. She told Flint about her plans to dine with the Twins in order to get the whereabouts of the diamond shipments.

Its interesting, Jaye, Flint started. I talked to Trigger when he got here and I was told a somewhat different story.

Im not surprised.

Let me talk with Duke and see our next plan of action. Ill get back to you in ten.

Ok. She sighed and calmed down.

And Allie, his voice filled with concern. Be careful, those guys are creeps.

I will. She smiled and hung up.

Lady Jaye threw the phone on the bed and walked into the bathroom. Staring in the mirror, she sighed. She could not believe how Trigger was acting. Changing the story of what happened to save his own hide. Not that she should worry, the rest of the team, especially Duke and Flint had worked with her long enough to know that she would never jeopardize a mission. She didnt know what Trigger said, nor did she want to. It just wasnt the Joe way. This is a team, she said aloud. Not each man for himself. The phone broke her concentration. From the ring she knew it was Duke.

Yes?

Lady Jaye, this is Duke. This is tonights plan. Go to dinner with he twins. Im sending two agents with you.

But…

But nothing. Two agents will be there only if you run into trouble. Do you know where you are going?

My message is to meet them in Villa One at the Bellagio.

Villa One is private. Change it, go public.

Will do, Jaye took note.

The agents will be waiting in the lobby. Keep your tracking jewelry on. You know how to play this game, play to win.

I always do, Duke. You will know where the diamonds are by the end of the night.

I was hoping by ten, when you check in.

Ten? She laughed. My curfew is that early?

Ten, Duke out.

Jaye double checked her appearance in the mirror, pressed the button on her locator necklace pendant, and left her room.

It took a bit of convincing to get the twins to dine at Picasso instead of the private villa. Unfortunately not much business was talked about; the only solid evidence was that a large shipment was arriving from South America. Now she had to press them for where and when. She had suggested that the three take a stroll through the fine art gallery, claiming that it was something she had planned to visit on her trip here. Although it was close to closing time and not very crowded, none of them noticed that Flint and Cover Girl were also there as Lady Jayes cover. Jaye stopped in front of an impressionist painting and Xamot stepped close to her.

Have you ever been to Mexico? He asked.

Once, I was in college, spring break. You know how that goes. Jaye never took her eyes off the painting.

Would you like to go again?

She laughed, Is this a date?

Oh no. I realize you are a married woman. Would you like to travel with us to over see the shipments arrival?

I would love to, She turned to him. If its not too much trouble.

No trouble at all, Tomax said as he took her hand and guided her into the next room. If you are not busy the day after tomorrow, we could fly down in our private plane.

That sounds fine. She could hardly keep from smiling. Then she realized the time. She excused herself, telling them she had to call her husband. She never completely walked out of the ear shot of the twins.

Hi honey, where are you?

Its about time you checked in, Duke said. Where the hell have you been?

Are you in a crowded place? Youre yelling in the phone.

What? Duke was confused.

You were playing blackjack? How much did you lose? She teased.

Did you get any information?

Yes, hon. You can take just a bit out of our business account, but be sure that you transfer it back from our personal account tomorrow, no questions.

Jaye, stop acting for a minute. It took Duke a second to realize what she was trying to tell him.

Oh, Im not mad sweetie, just play to win this time. Ill talk to you when I get back to the hotel.

Gotcha Lady Jaye. Ill expect a full report as soon as you get back to your room.

Ok Honey, have fun, Ill see you soon. Bye. Noticing the twins looking at her, she dropped her phone in her purse, and smiled. He can be quite the gambler. Now lets get back to business shall we?

We shall, Xamot told her.

As the three continued through the gallery, Lady Jaye noticed Flint and Cover Girl posing as a couple, walking hand in hand, following them into every room. She briefly made eye contact with them and they went their separate ways.

By the time they had finished walking through the gallery; Jaye had all the information she needed. The twins offered to pick her up to travel with them to Mexico. They had also offered her a nightcap in their villa, which she turned down quickly but politely. Now she was off to a debriefing with Duke and Flint in her hotel room.
