Golden Shields ( Katy1008 & CrimsonMaster )

Around 9.30am, Lieutenant Tamura came into the squad room with a piece of paper in her hand and walked straight over to Evie’s desk. Evie had spent the last 30 minutes, in between calls to Lisa and Reed, looking through the electronic mug books, trying to see if she could find pictures of the two men who were with McCaffrey at the club the other night.

“Taylor. What is this?” Evie looked up and then at the piece of paper and then back to the Lieutenant. She guessed that the piece of paper was her transfer request.

“I’m sorry Lieutenant. I probably should have spoken to you first but … well… my mind’s made up. I think a transfer to another Division might be…”

“Why? Did something happen between you and Reed. Did he…”

“What? No. Not at all. Reed has been.. he’s been great… and entirely professional. It’s me. It’s.. it’s personal. I just think a transfer would be a good idea.”

“What does Reed say about this? What does your Dad say about it?” Evie stared at her but said nothing.

“You haven’t told them? Either of them?” Tamura shook her head.

“Yeah. I know. I was going to talk to Reed this morning but… I’ll do it when he comes in.”

“This sits on my desk until I know you’ve had a conversation with both Reed and your father.” And with that she turned and walked back out of the squad room.

At around midday, Evie’s phone rang. It was the desk with a call from CHP. Evie was a little puzzled but she agreed to take the call. She identified herself and then listened. Had anyone been watching her, they would have seen her eyes widening and her color draining from her. All she said in the end was “okay” and then slowly she replaced the receiver. She looked around the squad room. There was no-one around that she particularly wanted to have this conversation with. She stood up and walked out into the corridor and headed for the Vice squad room, where she hoped she would find her brother. She saw him as soon as she opened the door, sat at his desk, head down, reading some report. She walked across quietly, barely noticing the couple of guys who watched her and then began a hushed conversation between themselves on what they had heard the day before.

“James… you busy?”

“Always… why? What do you need?” James looked up from his desk and saw Evie’s expression. “What’s wrong?”

“I just got a call from CHP. About six hours ago, a group of college kids stumbled across a body in the desert. About 30 miles outside of Barstow. From the preliminary CSI reports, it looks similar to two other murders they’ve had in the last few weeks. All three women raped, beaten, tortured, killed and then the bodies were dumped in the middle of nowhere. This one… this one is much worse than the first two apparently. The first two were both street girls… good looking… high end apparently… but both from right here in LA.”

“And this one?”

“Well… I think that’s why they called me and not you. One of the uniforms in Barstow thinks he's recognized her from the Academy.”

“Fuck…” James stood up. “It’s got to be a mistake. Hasn’t she been here all day, on duty?” Evie shook her head. “She didn’t come in this morning. I tried calling. No answer. I called Reed but he’s not answering either.”

“Okay. Have you got your car?” Evie nodded. “Meet me in the garage in 10 minutes.”

“Where are we going?”

“Barstow. We need to make a positive ID.” Evie nodded. “James. You don’t think Reed… ?” James looked at her but said nothing. He couldn’t deny that it was possible but it was hard to imagine that Reed was gone too. Then again Lisa’s record with partners recently…

“Let’s worry about one body at a time shall we. We need to confirm that the one we have is Lisa before we go jumping to any conclusions.”

Fifteen minutes later, James walked into the garage and found Evie waiting next o her car.

“You're late.”

“So sue me. I had a few things to sort out and a few calls to make. Barstow sent me the files on the first two girls.” He walked up to where Evie was standing at the driver’s door and handed her the freshly constructed brown files. As Evie took the files, James slipped the keys out of her other hand and smiled. “I’ll drive.” Evie was going to object, but then decided there was probably no point. She sighed and nodded. And it meant that she could read the files that James was already familiar with.

Twenty minutes later they were on the way out of the City.

“So… you wanna tell me about McCaffrey then?” James asked the question completely out of the blue and it took Evie by surprise. Her head snapped up from the file and she glared at him. James glanced at her, knowing that this wasn’t going to be a simple conversation.

“What? No! I don’t! We have rules about that remember?”

“Yeah… and good luck in getting Steve to follow those rules right now. It took me everything I had to stop him from driving round to your place last night and tearing you a new one.”

“What?” Evie could hardly believe what she was hearing. “Hang on a minute… Who I am sleeping with has nothing to do with Steve, or you, or Dad. We agreed this years ago. I don’t say anything about who you’re…”

“Yeah... but this is McCaffrey for Christ’s sake. I mean Zach Whitman is one thing.. and one thing Dad wasn’t to pleased about I can tell you. But McCaffrey?” James wasn’t shouting; he simply wanted to try and understand what in the hell his sister was playing at and then maybe he could try and explain it to his father and his brother. Because if he couldn’t then Evie was in a pile of trouble.

“What the hell has Dad got against Zach Whitman. When Zach’s mom died, his Dad was at our house almost on a weekly basis.”

“I don’t think Sergeant Whitman quite kept a handle on things the way that Dad did after mom left. He certainly didn’t keep much control of little Zach.”

“A few arrests for possession when he was at college is hardly something to crucify the guy with.”

“I think it’s a little more than that these days, Evie. I was talking to Mitch Douglas from the drugs squad last month. Zachary is slowing making himself a reputation and one that is not going to make Daddy proud. But apparently, we don’t have to worry about you and Zach do we… just you and McCaffrey.”

“Just… just leave it James. Please. I think we have more important things to worry about right now.” Evie picked up one of the folders from her lap and waved it a little. James shrugged.

“Okay… for now. But you better find some answers, because the next time you meet up with big brother, the Spanish Inquisition is going to have nothing on him.”

Evie shook her head. But she knew that James was right. She was stalling on a conversation that she knew sooner or later she was going to have to have with her family and with Reed too… if Reed was still… She shook her head, telling herself not to think like that.

Two hours later they were both getting back into the Mustang which had been parked in the Barstow police station car park pretty much since they arrived. They had been to the ME’s office and had made the formal identification of Lisa Tataglia. Evie wasn’t sure that she had ever seen a woman’s body more badly beaten. Working Vice, for James, this was not a new experience, but the fact that it was someone he knew – at least a little – and the fact that it was a cop, made it different. They’d spent an hour with Barstow detectives and CHP, neither of whom had much to go on at all. Everything they had was in the files that they had sent. No evidence of anything except the injuries to the bodies. Systematic beatings. Systematic torture. The first two girls had both been high end call girls who had relatively recently broken into porn movies. They’d both made three, each one of the increasingly rough and violent with elements of bondage and domination in them all. The movies had all been made by a LA company, Top Hat Productions. The company had checked out. Everything perfectly legal. Fully licensed and legitimate. Proper taxes returned. They were still waiting for a report to come back which identified the shareholders of Snow Productions. But no-one understood the link with Lisa.

James and Evie drove back almost in silence. Occasionally, one would put a supposition out there, a proposal, a possible explanation, and the other would dismiss it, tear a whole in it. Nothing made sense. Evie tried Reed’s phone another half a dozen times during the time they were in Barstow and during the drive back. Instead of heading straight back to the station, James went via the marina, and they check to see if Reed was at home. They found nothing. No sign of any trouble. The boat seemed perfectly secure and from what they could see nothing was inappropriately out of place inside. As James pointed out though, either Tome cleaned up pretty quick after fixing his leak this morning or… there was no leak. Both of them were no less concerned having checked out Reed’s boat.

As they were driving back to the station, it was nearly 6pm. When they got back to the station, both James and Lisa went back to the Vice squad room. While they were waiting for the others to get back, they might as well keep looking at the files they had. They had been in about 10 minutes when one of James' team came in and asked them if they had heard about the bust at the warehouse. Both of them looked bemused so the detective gave them a verbal report of what had happened.
 
Tom returned to the station where he had expected too see both Evie & Lisa, but neither of them were around. It was quite possible that Evie had taken Lisa out on patrol instead of sitting around and waiting for Tom to arrive. Tom hadn't checked his cell phone, in all honesty, Tom had for got to turn it back on. Tom typed up one report detailing what happened at the factory. Once that was done, Tom typed up a second report. The first report would go to Lesley since she was the commanding officer of Robbery/Homicide and Tom's boss. The second report would be sent to Jack's office since he was the commanding officer of the Narcotics Division.

A lot of things seemed out of place around the squad room. Evie & Lisa were gone as was Lesley. Tom asked Webb where Lesley had gone? Webb said that she went upstairs for some emergency meeting with the Chief then she just disappeared. Tom then asked about Evie & Lisa. Webb said that Evie had been in, but she left sometime ago. Webb also said that he never saw Lisa and he didn't think that she came into work. Tom looked up to the big clock hanging on the wall. It was a little before 2:30 pm. With Lesley away from the office, Tom stayed since he was second in command. He had expected Lesley to return, but as time ticked away...there was no sign of Lesley.

Lesley was in fact out of the station and currently at Dodger's Stadium. She and the Chief were there to meet with a very special undercover police officer. Lesley had found out about this officer during her meeting with Chief Berk. She & Chief Berk then headed out for the meeting which was setup in a public place. This was important to keep the undercover officer's cover intact. Lesley was shocked when she found out who this officer was and the job that the cover was. The undercover officer reported on the deaths that Evie & James had just gotten into. This was were Lesley found out that Lisa was dead. The Chief said that they needed to get someone new into the porn industry. Their current undercover couldn't get close enough to where the trouble was. Lesley tossed out a few names, but none seemed right. She then suggested Evie since she had worked so well undercover during the Bolin case.

The Chief thought that Evie was a good choice, but they would have to have her face changed. Evie on her own could be spotted and that would put her in danger. They planned on having the best makeup artist in Hollywood help to cover Evie's looks. But first they needed a meeting with the DA to get Evie Immunity from prosecution so she could get inside the world of porn. They knew that Evie would have to make some movies and she would have to have sex on camera. It was very important that no one knew that this new porn star was Evie. This had to become one of the best kept secrets in the department. It was decided that only Lesley and the Chief would know about this. It was also decided that only the current undercover officer and Tom would know just who Evie was while being a porn star. No one else but Tom, the current undercover and the makeup artist would know what Evie's new face would look like. Still, they hadn't told Evie about this. That job was left up to Lesley. She wouldn't return to the station. Lesley would stay with the undercover officer then set up another meeting during the night time hours. At that meeting, the case would be laid out to Evie. It would be her choice whether she did this or not.

5 pm came and went, as did 6 pm and still no sign of Lesley, Evie and Lisa. Tom left his desk and walked into Lesley's office. He looked around on her desk hoping to find a note or something that could say where she was going. Tom didn't find any note, what he did find was something that hit him hard. He read over Evie's request for transfer feeling very hurt that she was leaving. Tom wondered if perhaps Evie had already gone and that was the reason why she hadn't come back. A that moment, Tom wondered if Evie had found out that he killed McCaffrey? Perhaps she did like McCaffrey? Perhaps she was even in love with him? Stranger things had happened. Tom knew that he had seen girls who were very hot and they were with some of the ugliest guys. It was possible that Evie found something in McCaffrey that she liked. If that was the case, then Evie most likely hated Tom at this point. Tom laid the paper back down on Lesley's desk. He left her office and left the station after the night shift had come in. Tom headed out to his car then took off for Malone's. He had lost partners before, but Tom had never done anything that would make them leave. Rusty placed a bottle of beer down on the once he saw Tom coming in through the front door. He greeted Tom as Tom slipped down onto a stool.
 
Evie stared wide-eyed at the detective gave them a full run-down of what had happened at the warehouse. When he explained that Reed had taken out McCaffrey and a cop's son... Zach Whitman. Both of them caught absolutely red handed with a few millions dollars worth of street ready drugs and a ton of money. As the Detective outlined the tale, it became clear that he must have been one of the few officers in the station that had not heard about Evie and McCaffrey; he had no hesitation in providing every detail.

"McCaffrey was crooked... rotten to the core... and Reed just blew him away."

James looked across at his sister. Evie just stared at the officer who was telling the tale. McCaffrey was dead. Gone. Part of her felt like cheering. Then suddenly Lisa came into her mind. She would have enjoyed hearing the story - and no doubt there were a lot more details which would have pleased her even more. Evie shook her head and then looked at James.

"Well at least we know that Reed is okay. But where the hell is he?"

"10 bucks says that he's having a drink in Malone's. And another 10 says he aint drinking alone."

"Well if he is, I might just kill him. Come on."

Fifteen minutes later, Evie walked into Malone's or perhaps it was more accurate to say that she stormed in, with James a few paces behind her. Evie walked over to where Reed was sitting at the bar, with her Dad and Steve standing close by.

"Reed! What the hell... Did you lose your damn cell phone or were you too busy drinking to check your messages? I've been trying to get hold of you all fucking day."
 
It didn't long for McCaffrey's dirty dealings to spread quickly around the department. Officers at the scene of the shooting had texted others telling them the details. By the time Evie & James returned from their trip. Many fellow officers who once thought of Evie as a slut, had since changed their minds. To them it sure seemed that Evie somehow got trapped in McCaffrey's web and that she was being used by him. Evie's reputation may have taken a hit from McCaffrey's actions, but Tom had saved it from being totally destroyed.

Tom sat on his stool, Jack & Steve were sitting on his left when Evie came storming in yelling out Tom's name. He turned when his name was yelled out and saw Evie who looked quite upset. Tom reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone. He remembered turning it off, but with everything going on, turning it back on was forgotten. " Sorry......It was off.......Of course I wasn't expect you too call me. " Tom turned back towards the bar. He assumed that Evie was pissed because Tom had killed her boyfriend/lover McCaffrey. " I did what I had to do.........McCaffrey was dirty and so was Zach.......They gave me no choice but to shoot them. " Tom was sure that at some point Evie would rip into him from killing her friend Zach and her lover McCaffrey. He wasn't planning on standing in her way since she wanted a transfer. Tom would step a side and let Evie go where ever she wanted.
 
"Evie. Calm down. The man did you a favour. You might wanna thank him rather than shout at him." Steve said as he drank the last of his bottle, barely looking at his sister. Evie turned her glare to her brother for a moment.

"Did me ... A favour? What? You think I'm pissed because he killed McCaffrey?" she looked from Steve to her Dad to Reed. She chuckled a little in disbelief causing the three men to look a little puzzled.

"Whatever you might think, I really don't care that much that McCaffrey is dead. And if what James told me earlier is true about Zach Whitman, well then I guess he deserved what he got. I know I made a fool of myself. And I'm sorry that the reputation of the Taylor family got tarnished because I let McCaffrey... I've been calling you all day Reed. For most of the afternoon, I've been imagining you lying in the desert somewhere with the back of your head blown out."

"What are you talking about girl?" It was her father's turn to interrupt. "Tom has been at his desk all afternoon. Why would you thnk..,?"

"Lisa Tataglia is dead." Reed stod up slowly. Her father looked like he'd been punched.

"CHP called me this morning. She was found in the desert. 30 miles the otherside of Barstow. "
 
The news of Lisa's death had hit Jack very hard. He lowered his head shaking it. Tom was also rocked by the news. Lisa was just turning herself around and getting back on the right track. Tom slowly sat back down on the bar stool. He wondered if McCaffrey had asked the Snowman to kill Lisa during the same meeting where he had asked for Tom to die. Sometime had passed before Morgan & Kelly reached the club where the meeting took place. It was possible that Lisa's death was spoken abut during that time. There was no way that the girls could have gotten there any quicker.

" Does the CHP have any clues on who killed Lisa? " Tom asked Evie as he turned on his cell phone. Those messages from Evie were piled up and waiting. Tom looked up at Evie. He thought that what happened too Lisa, could have happened too Evie. Evie would remember how McCaffrey treated Lisa at the scene where the 2 minute bandits were taken down. Tom wished at this moment that he hadn't killed McCaffrey. If anyone could have told they who killed Lisa, it would have been McCaffrey. There was still hope in finding Lisa's killer and it was in the form of a female porn star Jenna Love.

Lesley pulled her cell phone from her pocket and dialed Evie's number. She knew that it wouldn't be easy asking Evie to become a porn star and allow herself to be filmed while getting fucked by men & women. If Evie took this case, that's just what would happen. These types of undercover cases were the hardest since those detectives who took the cases were being asked to take part in illegal activity. This would mean that Evie would engage in sex and possibly even drugs. Evie's phone started to ring.
 
Evie looked at Tom, watching him as he switched his phone on and then looked back up at her. She shook her head.

"Nothing. Lisa's was the third body to be found out in the desert. The things the first two girls hae in common don't apply to Lisa. But thre is enough to suggest it's the same killer... Or killers."

"I've asked Barstow to hand the case over to us... To Vice. In the circumstances, they're happy to do it." James said as he took a cold bottle of beer from Steve. Steve handed another to Evie. She looked at him...and it...and then shook her head. She wasn't really in the mood to sit and drink beer with Steve, even though Mccaffrey's death probably meant the conversation she knew he had been looking to have with her was now pretty pointless. And Tom's disappointment was still obvious. She turned to James.

"Can you get a lift back. I"m going to head home. I..."

"Evie. Stay and have..." James started to suggest that Evie have a drink with them. He knew from experience that fixing a dispute between Steve and Evie was about keeping them in the same room. Both were as stubborn as each other. But he didn't get the chance to finish. Evie's cell phone started ringing. Evie pulled it out of her pocket and looked at it. She looked puzzled for a moment and then brought the phone up to her ear.

"Yeah.... Now? Erm... I guess... Yeah he's here. ... But it's ... Okay. St Michael's church on 48th. Ten minutes I guess... Okay."

She clicked the phone off and looked t Tom.

"The Lieutenant wants to see us. Both of us. Now. Can't wait apparently. She wouldn't say anything else on the phone."
 
Tom had just finished off his beer when Evie closed up her phone. He was puzzled at why Lesley would want too see them this late at a church. Perhaps there was a body found in that area and Lesley wanted them to work the case. Tom knew that answers would come as soon as they got to the church. He said good night to Rusty, Jack, James and Steve as he turned to Evie. " Why don't you drive......You can drop me back off here when we're done. " Tom said while slipping his phone back into his outside coat pocket. Steve waved at Tom & Evie as they walked towards the door. " You two be careful......And if you can't be careful......Name it after me. " Steve laughed as his dad just shook his head. Jack turned too see Evie & Tom walk out the front door.

Lesley looked at her watch as she walked around outside of her car. She had picked this church because it had a rear parking area that couldn't be seen from the street. A 2011 blue & black Ford Mustang Cobra GT pulled into the parking lot and parked beside where Lesley's car was parked. Lesley leaned down and told the driver that her detectives were on their way. She said that it wouldn't take long since they were near by. Lesley took notice of the car and how much it looked like Evie's car. Evie's car was a 1969 Mustang Super Cobra, but the paint job was a perfect match. She hoped that this was a good sign. Lesley knew that it all depended on whether or not Evie would agree. Such a case wouldn't be easy on Evie, it was never easy for a good cop to break the law and do it for money.
 
Evie was taken back enough by Steve's so called joke that she actually stopped and turned, looking in complete disbelief at what he'd said. He stood there, smirking. Evie shook her head. Nobody wound her up more than her oldest brother, but she kept her silence and walked out with Reed.

She got in the car without saying anything and the two of them sat in silence as Evie drove the short journey to St Michael's Church. She pulled into the car park and pulled up next to 2011 Mustang.

"Is it me, or is that just too much of a coincidence?" Evie asked as she climbed out of her car and looked at the one in the adjacent space.
 
The windows of the newer mustang were tinted so neither Tom, nor Evie could see who was sitting in the car, if there was anyone there. Tom stepped from Evie's car at the same time that she did. They both meet Lesley just behind the newer mustang. Tom noticed the smoke from a cigarette coming from inside of the car. Someone was inside and it was a pretty good bet that they had something to do with why the two detectives were called here. Lesley thanked both Evie & Tom for coming and do so quickly. She went on to say that Lisa was dead which both Evie & Tom already knew. Lesley said that her death was linked to the other two bodies found in the desert and it had to do with porn movies. A special type of porn movie called Snuff Porn. This type of porn move was more brutal then anything normally done in pornos. The beatings were beyond what even goes on in S&M movies. The girls are often burned, cut, stabbed, tortured in every way and at the end shot or strangled. In Lisa's case, she was shot once in the back of her head. In the porno industry, they frown on these types of movies. So such movies are often done underground and sold for hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

Lesley then laid out way she asked Evie & Tom here. " You two are the best detectives in the department........I had a private meeting with the Chief.......He wants you two on this case. " Lesley said as she looked back at the car. " This is the hardest thing I've ever asked a detective under my command......But.....Evie.......The Chief wants you to go undercover and look for work making porn movies. " Lesley asked not knowing if Evie would freak out or agree. She then added that Evie wouldn't be working alone. Lesley said that the department already had an undercover cop working in the porn industry, but she added that the officer was to well known and a major porn star. " You can come out now. " Lesley said as she turned back towards the car.

The driver's side car door opened and a very beautiful dark haired woman stepped out wearing a dress so tight, it looked like it was spray painted on her. " My God! " Tom said in a sudden out burst. The young woman walked around the car then stood beside Lesley. She smiled at Tom, his reaction was normal and she enjoyed it. " Evie......Tom......This is Jenna Love......Also known as Officer Kimberly Gonzales. " Tom was stunned that an LAPD officer was a major porn star. Jenna had made over 100 movies since she broke on the scene. She was one of the top stars in the business. " Pleased to meet you Detective Taylor.......I've heard so many good things about you......You made a big splash taking down Doctor Bolin. " Jenna said while holding out her hand towards Evie.
 
Evie stood next to Tom as Lesley talked about Lisa's death. Evie had heard of snuff movies; she didn't really need it explained. When Lesley got to what was obviously the main reason for calling both Tom and her out here in the middle of the night, Evie stared open mouthed. It was a completely ridiculous idea. Make porn movies? She was a cop; it was the only thing she ever wanted to do. And now she was being asked to become a porn actress. Undercover maybe but still...? Why was she being asked to do this? Was it because of McCaffrey? Something that he said?

She hadn't said anything... She'd just stared..,open mouthed. And then she saw the woman climbing out of the car. As the woman came and stood next to Lesley, smiling and holding out her hand. Evie took it. Nodded.

"I didn't do it alone." she looked back to Lesley. "I don't think I can do that."
 
Lesley was a bit surprised when Evie said that she didn't believe she could do the job being asked of her. It was hoped that Evie would understand and see how important this case was. Lesley asked Tom & Jenna for a moment alone with Evie. Tom & Jenna moved away giving Lesley time too speak with Evie. Jenna was impressed to be meeting someone with such an infamous reputation as Tom had. She couldn't help but flirt with him while they talked.

Lesley placed an arm over Evie's shoulders and walked a few feet away. " I don't want you to think that this case was offered too you because of what happened with McCaffrey......It wasn't.....You were picked for this case because your psych profile showed that you could handle a case like this.......And you're the best female detective in the department. " Lesley spoke softly. " The only people who will know that you're working on this case are the Chief......Me......Tom.....Jenna and the makeup artist would will make you look so different that your own family won't know that it's you.......And the only ones who will know what you look like and the name your under will be Tom.....Jenna and the makeup artist. Lesley said adding that Evie's Dad and brothers will be told that she was resigned to work on a special case with the F.B.I. Such cases are always top secret and can't be talked about even after the case is closed.

" I wish there was someone better for this case Evie......But there isn't.......If those people were killing male porn stars.....I'm sure Tom would be the first to volunteer. " Lesley looked back over at Tom who was eating up all the flirting that Jenna was doing. It was like watching a kid in a candy shop trying everything. " Those young women deserve justice.......Lisa deserves justice........If you turn us down.....I'll have to get a female cadet from the academy.......This is truly the hardest thing I've ever asked a fellow officer.........But if you say no......I'll have your transfer ready in the morning. " Lesley looked back at Evie hoping that she would now reconsider her answer.
 
Evie was still in shock at what she was being asked and she was a little uncomfortable as the Lieutenant placed her arm around her shoulder. She let Lesley say her piece nd then she stopped, stepped away a little and looked at Lesley. The hint of a sarcastic mile played around her lips as she shook her head a little in disbelief.

"I don't believe this. What you're asking is unfair." Evie spoke calmly and softly. "You want me to walk away from my family...indefinitely. You want me to walk away from my career...at least as far as the world is concerned. You want me to become...." She shook her head again although somewhere in the depths of her mind, she heard a tiny voice ask whether making a porn movie would be that much different to that night a few months back...with Lewis? "and you're gonna use Lisa to make me say yes." She turned and walked away a few paces then turned back. "It's unfair...because you know that I cant say no."
 
Lesley was shocked too hear Evie say that what she was being asked to do was unfair. Jenna herself was a cop who scarified many things in order too see that justice could be done. " You can say no if you wish.....No one here is forcing you to do this Evie........It's your choice to make. " Lesley looked back at Jenna who was still talking with Tom. " Perhaps you should speak with Kim about what she gave up to go undercover?.....She could tell you a lot about what taking her assignment has costs her. " Lesley then turned back towards Evie. " I've already told you what I can.......I need your answer one way or the other.....But if you want too speak with Kim.......I'll send her over. " Lesley knew that time was being lost. No matter which way Evie decided to answer, there was a lot of work that needed done. If Evie said no, this operation would lose days perhaps even weeks before someone else could be ready to take her place. If Evie said yes, then everything could get back on track in a few hours. A lot was riding on Evie and her answer, but this operation would go on with or without her.
 
"I understand what going undercover like this means I have to give up. I don't need Kim to tell me that. My family! My job! My home! My life! I know what this is going to involve. What? Do you think I should be jumping at the opportunity? That I should be grateful that you've given me the chance? That I should be prepared to say yes in a heartbeat because you have some kind of schedule to keep to?" Evie could feel herself becoming exasperated. She stopped and took a deep breath.

"I've already given you my answer. How the fuck can I say no? You used Lisa to guilt me into saying yes. You talk about me being the best to do it... You can't possibly know that... But I'm certainly going to be better than some kid from the Academy who has no experience of anything and by threatening that, again, you manipulate me into saying yes. You know that after McCaffrey my reputation is crap and if I don't say yes, it will be even worse by 10am tomorrow. So... Give me whatever file you have that tells me who I am, where I'm moving to and where I have to go tomorrow, but don't expect me to be doing cartwheels at the fact."
 
Lesley stayed silent as Evie unloaded on her. She was willing too let Evie have her say, then it was over. Lesley was really stunned that Evie thought so little of her, that she felt some retaliation would come against Evie's reputation by 10 am if she didn't say yes. This wasn't the case and there would have been nothing said had Evie declined the offer of taking this case. But Lesley wasn't going to stand here in this parking lot and argue about this any longer. It was obvious too Lesley that Evie should really take a vacation and not take this case. However, Evie did take the case and Lesley was left thinking that this whole thing with Evie was a huge mistake.

" Jenna will give you the details. " Lesley had a cold stare in her eyes as she turned and headed towards Tom & Jenna. She announced that Evie was taking the case. Lesley then asked Jenna to handle everything from here on. She walked to her car, climbed inside and left now thinking that perhaps Evie wasn't the best choice for this case. What Lesley thought, or even felt wasn't important since the case belonged Evie, Jenna & Tom. Once the case was over, Lesley would sign Evie's transfer request and she could then leave Robbery/Homicide.

Jenna could tell that Lesley wasn't pleased after her conversation with Evie. She was hoping that Evie didn't plan on continuing this with her. This case was to important and if something wasn't done soon, another young women would end up dead. Jenna waited for Evie to join her & Tom. Once Evie came over, Jenna told Tom that officially he was gonna be on vacation. Unofficially he would be where ever Jenna told him too be. Tom was to be the big gun backup that would step in if trouble started. Once Evie was inside the world of porn, she could end up getting busted. If something like this did happen, Tom would be there to make sure Evie saw set free. Jenna then asked Evie to hand over her ID,badge and gun too Tom. Evie was gonna be living with Jenna at her beach front house in Malibu. Evie would also have give Tom the keys too her car. She couldn't have anything around that belonged too Evie Taylor.

Once Evie was at Jenna's place, the details of the case would be explained. Evie would also meet the women who would turn her into someone completely new. Jenna & Tom exchanged cell numbers, Evie could keep her cell to call her father & brothers and tell them that she was going to be working for the F.B.I for a while. Jenna would then give Evie a new cell phone which she would carry. Jenna left Tom & Evie and headed for her car. She would wait here for Evie while Evie & Tom had some time alone.

" This case is gonna be hard.......But I'll be there when you need me.......Partners are always there when the other needs them. " Tom spoke softly as he reached out and touched Evie's cheek gently. He really didn't want to lose Evie as his partner. Tom was just getting use to her talking about the damn Yankees all the time. " I'll take good care of your car......You just take care of yourself. "
 
Evie smiled a litte and nodded at Tom. Then he watched as Tom climbed into her car and drove away. In any other circumstances, she may have felt a little regret at losing her partner, but she had been put in a position where that was just one part of the whole lose. Family. Friends. Home. Career. And that the lieutenant seemed pissed because she wasn't prepared to give the up without a second thought annoyed her all the more. She shook her head and pulled her cell phone out of her pocket. She spent the next 20 minutes walking around the dark church car park having a conversation first with her father, then James, then Steve. Lying to all of them. She had never lied once to hone them before and now she'd done it to all three within 20 minutes. She lied to them, then she said goodbye to them... for who knew how long.

After the third call had finished she spent another 10 minutes wandering around getting her head straight, before she headed back to the car where Jenna was waiting. Evie apologised for the time it took and then she handed Jenna her cell phone.

"Let's go home then."
 
Jenna could certainly understand Evie's feelings about this. She had given up a lot to become an undercover officer. Her Uncle who was a cop in San Diego disowned her once he found out that Kim was doing porn. She couldn't tell him that she was working undercover for the LAPD and unlike Evie, once Jenna's porn career was over, so was her career as a cop. A former porn star couldn't be seen joining the LAPD, it wouldn't look right to the public. But Jenna would get a full pension as if she had worked 20 years on the force. This would of course be paid under the table so no one would ever know. Jenna wasn't drawing any money from the police department. She was being allowed to keep the money that she was making for doing those porn movies. Jenna had already been in the business four years now and she probably had another 2 or 3 years left before retiring.

Once Evie got into Jenna's car, she backed up then pulled out into the street. She didn't head home, not yet anyway. There was something important they needed to do. Jenna & Evie had to go shopping. " We'll need to pick up some new clothes for ya......You need to dress for success in this business......The sexier the better. " Jenna said as she drove on into West Hollywood. There they would find the stores where one could get very sexy clothes. Sexy clothes wouldn't be the only thing Evie would wear. She would need jeans, shorts, shirts and shoes. " We'll be meeting Tammy at my place.....She's the one who will make you into a totally new person......Oh and you need a new name.......Something that sounds good for this business......Got any ideas? " Jenna said as she pulled her car into the parking lot of a store which sold very sexy outfits.
 
Evie couldn't help but smile.

"I thought the idea was to undress for success in this business?"

Evie saw Jenna smile but then there was no more conversation as Jenna drove downtown and pulled into a parking lot somewhere in West Hollywood. Evie nodded as Jenna explained who Tammy was, where they were meeting her and what she was going to do. This whole idea of some make-up job being able to make her unrecognizable was something that Evie was somewhat skeptical about. It sounded a little unbelievable to say the least. At the suggestion that she needed a name, Evie climbed out of the car trying to think of names of prostitutes she had come across when she was in uniform. As she closed the door, she looked over the roof of the car to Jenna

"How about Torri.. Torri... James?"
 
Jenna thought for a moment, she let the name Torri James roll through her mind. " Torri James?........I like it!.......Certainly has that porn star sound to it. " Jenna gave Evie a smile then she held out her hand. " Undressing for success comes when you're in front of the camera.......What we've got to do is whore you up........Or as we say in the business.....We need to bring out your inner slut. " Jenna took Evie's hand and they walked towards the store. " Dressed as you are right now.....You'd be spotted as a cop in a second.......I'm guessing we'll need the works. " Jenna said as she stopped just short of going into the store. She was looking over the way Evie was dressed now. Jenna flung the door open and pulled Evie inside. " We'll get what we need here.......Shoes......Sexy dresses.......Panties........Not that you'll be wearing those long once you get in front of the camera.........Pick out whatever you want.......The city is paying me back for everything we buy for this job. " Jenna reached into the top of her dress and pulled out a charge card.

Jenna would allow Evie to pick out some stuff. If those items were slutty enough, Jenna would allow Evie to pick out everything else. " Let your inner slut run free. " Jenna said as she playful slapped Evie on the ass. She then followed behind Evie as she started looking around. The sexy dresses were in the front while the shoes were in the back. In between were the other items Evie would need to complete her new slutty look.
 
'Bring out my inner slut' Evie though to herself as they walked holding hands, across the parking lot to the door of the store. The lights were harsh...neon... reds and greens and pinks. Again Evie's mind drifted back to that night working for Lewis. Could she do that day in day out for... however long it took. No-one knew about that night except the people who were there and Rick was the only one who knew who she really was. Now... this time... this time her bosses would know what she was doing... some of them anyway. But this time she was doing it because they wanted her too. And the better she was at being a slut, strangely, the better they would like it. And... if she was going to do this... then she needed to do it properly. It was no good feeling sorry for herself. It was no good feeling angry about it. She needed to do the job... do it well... and then reclaim her life when it was over.

As she walked into the store, Evie looked around and nodded in response to what Jenna was saying. At the suggestion that she let her inner slut run free, Evie turned to look and Jenna and smiled. "What makes you think I have an inner slut?"

Fifteen minutes later, she walked back to Jenna with an armful of dresses. "Will these do?"

Jenna waited & watched as Evie went around the different parts of the store. She never once looked at what Evie had picked out until Evie brought them over. Jenna looked though the dresses and gave Evie a sly smile. " Oh you have an inner slut in you.......You may hide it from the rest of the world......But most women have an inner desire to be the bad girl......They may look down their noses at women like me........But deep down they want too know what it's like to be gang fucked. " Jenna said as she handed the clothing back too Evie. Everything Evie picked out matched what Jenna had in mind for her.. Jenna suggested that Evie pick out a few more dresses like the ones she had and some more sexy panties. Jenna walked with Evie around while she picked a a few more items. " Have you ever experienced a gang bang?........Used like a total slut for a groups pleasure and loved every minute of it? " Jenna asked while she helped Evie to the checking counter. There was no way Jenna could know about Mexico or what happened too Evie at Club Vibe. Her question was too see just how honest Evie would be with her. Jenna was expecting Evie to become defensive about this question and duck it. This was however the first of many personal questions Jenna would need to ask Evie. It was all just part of how to set Evie up properly as a porn star.
 
Evie didn't break her step as Jenna asked her the question. She kept looking at potential items for her new wardrobe. In her mind though she played over her options. Jenna almost certainly didn't know about Mexico - and did two constitute a gang in the porn world. She almost certainly couldn't know about the night with Lewis and his clients. Lord knows what she might have heard from whatever McCaffrey might ave said. But if Jenna was her main ak up then starting things off on a lie might not be the best move, even if in all probability Jenna would never know.

"A couple of times, yes!" She gave a quick look across to Jenna and then picked up another red dress. "This one?"
 
Jenna just smiled when Evie said that she had taken part in a gang band and enjoyed it. Evie's admission of the truth certainly would make asking the other questions much easier. But those other questions could wait until they reached Jenna's house. Right now they to finish their shopping before heading for Malibu. " That's perfect! " Jenna nodded her head as Evie showed her another dress. Evie certainly did have an eye for picking out sexy clothes. It was obvious that Evie wasn't just a female cop. She also enjoyed being a woman who liked to dress sexy. Jenna wondered if Evie had fucked her partner Tom? Perhaps she would ask this question later? Jenna knew about the rule that said partners shouldn't get that close. But Jenna also knew that rules were meant to be broken. " I think we've spent enough of the city's money......Let's check out and head for home. " Jenna handed over the credit card to the women working at the counter.

Once everything was paid for, bagged up and in the car, Jenna & Evie headed for Malibu. It was about a 45 minute drive from the store until Jenna pulled her Mustang into the driveway and parked near the garage doors. " I have 2 cars......You can use the other one for work. " Jenna said as she helped Evie with the bags. The two women lugged all the bags in one trip. Jenna switched on the lights of her beautiful home. " This is where you'll be living......For a little while at least. " Jenna closed the double front doors She walked inside showing Evie around once they put the bags down. Jenna showed Evie everything, the room Evie would be using, the kitchen and the where the hot tube was. Jenna was planning on using this later, but work before pleasure. 10 minutes after arriving at the house, the door bell rang. " Must be Tammy. " Jenna said as she walked towards the front doors.
 
Evie couldn't help but be impressed by Jenna's home. It was huge... Beautifully decorated. Expensive but not overly ornate furniture. Stylish. Expensive. Modern. And the hot tub certainly looked nice. The view out over the beach and the pacific was as good as from her own place and Evie wondered what the possibilities were for her maintaining her daily run.

With the knock on the door she looked around and then watched as Jenna headed to answer it. She really hoped this wasn't going to be as ridiculous or uncomfortable as it sounded. And she also didn't want to spend half of every day in a makeup routine.
