Ch. 12 – DocWho2100
"I don't like this idea."
Both speakers stopped, blinking, looking at each other as their replies had come simultaneously, almost as if rehearsed.
The others sitting around, or a few were standing, looked around, amused by the coincidence even with the dire atmosphere blanketing the room.
Seeing no one was willing to take the plunge, or put themselves on the sacrificial chopping block as Nora had said before the meeting had started. Nikki pursed her lips once, pulled her silk blouse down a fraction and stood, walking to the front of the room where a map of Nola had been placed, assorted photos, pins and other notes adorning the map and area around it.
As she moved forward, her eyes swept casually to Dan, the lieutenant smooth as he flicked his two fingers casually and gave a sharp wink, Nikki barely tilting her head in acknowledgment that she at least had the backing of her superior. She'd figured she would as before going into this Dan had made a joke about the captain always going down with the boat and since he was turning this boat over to Nikki, she'd better not crash. Of course that conversation had diverged as Nora had said ship, Dan countering with boat and the two went off on the difference between a boat and a ship.
Well she had worked to get this conference set up, has used her father's pull unashamedly to get the Feds back in this room, and had conned her partner, Georgia and her partner, Dan and Dan's bosses to at least listen.
The last hour had actually gone fairly swimmingly, to stick to the sea theme; so far no one had made her walk the plank. Well, until two minutes ago when Georgia, and the leading Federal agent, Agent Dickerson had uttered their negative view. She knew when it came to the point of tying Georgia into the leaks and then having Jensen and Georgia offered as bait there might be a little hesitation.
Nikki took in a breath and began pointing at the photos and notes in a systematic method, tapping each one just loud enough to make a snap that she knew would draw attention. "I never expected anyone in this room to like the idea; I don't." She gave a patented Beaumont smirk, "That's right, I don't either. I also do not like being used as a punching bag." Her finger tapped a certain photo, one she had made sure to put in a prominent place, one that had upset Nora, the blonde twice trying to take it down.
She'd paused in assembling the bulletin board, so she could pull Nora into a small side room, grabbing both of her partner's hands, pulling her close, their noses almost touching. "Nora, baby, you have to leave that photo up there."
"No, I don't want people seeing that. It was hard enough for me to…"
And there was the real reason, Nora didn't want to see.
Nikki had sighed and dared to pull Nora closer, kissing along the blonde's bruised and injured face. "You know I had Sid take those photos because we are part of this case now. And I want them to realize that this is personal in the sense that if we leave the Ricci's out as they drag their feet, those photos could be their agents beat up or dead not us. Besides Sugar, I am following my father's lawyer advice and you always play the victim when it helps the case."
"I don't like it," Nora grumbled, the tone signaling to Nikki that she had won.
"I promise those photos of our injuries will be buried in the case paperwork once this is over, ok?"
Nora just nodded.
She gave a dramatic pause and could see a couple of the agents and Georgia's partner nodding in sympathy with her. "We know that Jensen is valuable. We know they are willing to do a lot to get what they want. And we know that they are looking for weak links in our organization to use and exploit," she began tapping the photos of victims, places and raids, the last a pin representing Nora's parent's house, her finger lingering on that a moment as her eyes met Nora's.
She took in a breath and continued. "Normally I would say put us right back out there, but we all know Nora and I are still recovering and if we want these bastards," she allowed herself an inward mental smirk as she saw the Feds flinch at her harsh word, good, they thought she was a beauty primping bimbo, she'd show them yet, "we have to strike with the best. Which is why I need Agent Dickerson as well as Detective Savoie."
"I do not want to risk Jensen," Dickerson bellowed, although his bellow was not as loud as it had been.
"Well, that is where the magic comes in, Detective Savoie and one of your agents get into the car with Jensen here at the station for all the world to see, letting it slip where they are taking him, which just happens to be close to one of the known Ricci properties." She pointed out a few notes and parts of the map she had highlighted in blue, the color she had thought complementing the colors the mapmakers had used. She also gave a secret thanks that Darius had come through with a couple of Ricci properties giving them a better chance of netting even more of Ricci's group.
"Then we let Nola's rush hour traffic snarling beauty give us the magic cover we need to do the exchange. Georgia's partner takes Jensen's place, Detective Delaney and I will take Jensen back here while everyone else is converging on the meeting place and catching what we need."
The room was quiet as everyone worked over the ideas.
Dickerson stood, looking like he was going to storm out. "I need coffee, when I get back, be ready to do this, now," he stomped out, leaving no room for discussion.
"Well, it seems we have a plan, heaven help us."
