I knew I wasn’t going to persuade Jordan to let me go undercover, but I was going to do it with or without him. I also knew that Robert must be worried about where I was, but didn’t have to wait long because the door opened behind Jordan and I, startling me.
Robert walked up to us, and I started trembling, knowing for sure I was probably going to be pulled from the case. “Excuse me but is everything alright? You must be Jordan Crenshaw. I’m Robert Scorpio, Special Agent In Charge. How can I help you?”
I covered for Jordan immediately. “Jordan was just here to meet you, Robert,” I said with a fake smile, hoping he couldn’t see right through me. “Jordan, this is Robert. Robert, this is my boss at the FBI, Jordan Crenshaw.”

“Of course I miss you, Jordan. But we have to be discreet, you know that right? The new case comes first for me right now.”
"Of course I know we need to be discreet. I thought that's what we were doing right now. Do you see anyone out here with us, sweetheart?" I asked her in a low tone to keep it private and a charming smile just for her. "As you can see we are alone. I would never put you at risk in any way at all. I will always make sure that you're safe and I'll always see that you're protected. You're safe with me, Gwen...your reputation and your safety. Always", I told her softly, letting her know that exactly how much she meant to me and how much I would do to keep her safe in every way, shape and form. We then got into the topic where I knew we'd differ, one where we would not be able to agree.
“Jordan, don’t start. I don’t want you talking me out of going undercover. Every other time I have, you didn’t mind it, but now you’re going to have to deal with it.”
"Gwen, I just don't like the assignment, I can admit to that. I know that you're the best agent out there, undercover or otherwise. I would not have a problem with your undercover assignment if you weren't going to be in a position where the suspect was going to potentially be all over you or possibly putting his hands on you and kissing you. I hate the image of that, I hate the idea of you being in that position and I hate the assignment, period. You want me to be honest? Yes, I can admit to being a bit jealous of it. I know that there's nothing personal or anything that'll come of it but I don't want you to be that close to this bastard, ok?" I told her in an urgent whisper. Before we could continue this discussion further, we were interrupted by the man inside the office joining us.
“Excuse me but is everything alright? You must be Jordan Crenshaw, I’m Robert Scorpio, Special Agent In Charge. How can I help you?”
Before I could answer him and introduce myself, Gwen spoke up for me and I waited for her to finish speaking.“Jordan was just here to meet you, Robert. Jordan, this is Robert. Robert, this is my boss at the FBI, Jordan Crenshaw.” I smiled at him as Gwen introduced me. I then offered my hand to him to shake his hand. "I am Jordan, head of the FBI. Its a pleasure to meet you. I've heard a lot about you and your reputation preceeds you. Very impressive. It seems like my best agent is in good hands", I told him, still not happy with the assignment but keeping it to myself for the time being.

“Of course I know we need to be discreet. I thought that's what we were doing right now. Do you see anyone out here with us, sweetheart?” he asked, and gave me that smile again. “Jordan…I do appreciate you being here, and I miss you dearly, but sometimes work comes before personal stuff.”
“As you can see we are alone. I would never put you at risk in any way at all. I will always make sure that you're safe and I'll always see that you're protected. You're safe with me, Gwen...your reputation and your safety. Always,” he continued, and I know he meant it. He’s very protective of me, the same way my Daddy was when he was alive. “Thank you, Jordan,” I replied with a small smile. “That means a lot to me.”
“Gwen, I just don't like the assignment, I can admit to that. I know that you're the best agent out there, undercover or otherwise. I would not have a problem with your undercover assignment if you weren't going to be in a position where the suspect was going to potentially be all over you or possibly putting his hands on you and kissing you.

I know that there's nothing personal or anything that'll come of it but I don't want you to be that close to this bastard, ok?” he continues to speak, and I want to cry. “If it would make you feel better, you could help out with the case. But I already agreed to this assignment, Jordan, and I don’t want to be talked out of it.”
“I am Jordan, head of the FBI. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I've heard a lot about you and your reputation precedes you. Very impressive. It seems like my best agent is in good hands,” he finished, after I introduced him & Robert. I beamed with happiness at having my two bosses meeting, but often wondered what Aunt Phoebe might think of my seeing Daddy’s former partner, now my FBI boss.

"I am Jordan, head of the FBI. Its a pleasure to meet you. I've heard a lot about you and your reputation preceeds you. Very impressive. It seems like my best agent is in good hands", said Jordan as I looked at him and it was like he wasn’t telling the truth. I can tell from the e-mail and from the way he was talking to Gwen until I came, shown that he cares. Was he in love with Gwen? Hell, did she even know about this? Even if the two are in love, it doesn’t count out from what I’ve seen in Gwen. She is one the toughest agents that I’ve seen so far and it would be tough to not have her around . I smiled before speaking, “She sure is in good hands Jordan. On the mission we have, there will be other agents on it. Those who work part time with us in the WSB will assist so there’s no need to worry. Gwen, I’ll be in the office if you need me. Jordan, it was nice meeting you”, I said to him as I walked back in my office, closing the door but not all the way, so that Gwen can come back in.

I stayed polite with Agent Scorpio. He seemed to be competant enough and had plenty of confidence. I had to respect that. He appeared to be a good man and that helped but I still wasn't thrilled with the assignment that Gwen was taking on. I shook hands with Agent Scorpio again. "Thanks for the reassurance, Agent Scorpio. I appreciate it and I can assure you that Gwen will get the job done and will likely blow you away in the process. But make no mistake, she belongs to the Bureau", I joked with a soft laugh. "It was good to meet you too. I'm sure we'll meet again", I told him and watched as he left us to our privacy again. I then turned my attention back to Gwen.
“If it would make you feel better, you could help out with the case. But I already agreed to this assignment, Jordan, and I don’t want to be talked out of it.”
I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. "Gwen, I'm not trying to talk you out of the assignment. I am glad that you're able to take cases here. I think it'll be good for you and you're going to be a huge help and a credit to the WSB. I don't want to step in on your case. I just don't happen to like the cover, that's all. I happen to be very protective of my agents. Especially certain ones", I said and sighed heavily as I looked at her. "Just promise me you'll be careful and you won't let it get too far, ok? I worry about you enough as it is. I will enough because I can't be there to have your back this time. Don't give me more reason to worry, Gwen. Watch your ass and be careful"

I loved Jordan, very much, but sometimes I just wanted to wring his pretty little neck. He’s way too protective of me, the same way Daddy was, and it’s not like I’m going to step into the road and get run over by a bus…not that that would happen anytime soon. But sometimes a girl needs to have her independence, and I often felt like Jordan wasn’t letting me have that. “She sure is in good hands Jordan. On the mission we have, there will be other agents on it. Those who work part time with us in the WSB will assist so there’s no need to worry. Gwen, I’ll be in the office if you need me. Jordan, it was nice meeting you,” Robert told Jordan and I, and I nodded. “Thanks for the reassurance, Agent Scorpio. I appreciate it and I can assure you that Gwen will get the job done and will likely blow you away in the process. But make no mistake, she belongs to the Bureau,” Jordan joked with a soft laugh, but I was cringing inside. “It was good to meet you too. I'm sure we'll meet again.”
After Robert was gone, Jordan turned his attention back to me, and I reached out and slapped him across the face. “First of all, you just made me look like an idiot, Jordan Crenshaw!” I hissed. “Second of all, I don’t “belong” to the Bureau. I can be a freelance agent if I want to be, and if I choose to break things off with you, I’ll do it. Thirdly, Robert likes my strategy for the new case, and while I appreciate you being protective of me like Daddy was, I feel you’re holding me a little too tight.”
“Gwen, I'm not trying to talk you out of the assignment. I am glad that you're able to take cases here. I think it'll be good for you and you're going to be a huge help and a credit to the WSB. I don't want to step in on your case. I just don't happen to like the cover, that's all. I happen to be very protective of my agents. Especially certain ones,” he said, running his hands – those handsome, glorious hands – through his hair. “Sometimes, Jordan, it feels like you’re going to talk me out of anything,” I said, then dropped my voice to a whisper. “And while I do love being with you – and love & miss you dearly – I need to see this assignment through.” I went back to a normal voice. “And I don’t mind you being protective of me, but could you let a girl have some freedom & independence once in a great while?”
“Just promise me you'll be careful and you won't let it get too far, ok? I worry about you enough as it is. I will enough because I can't be there to have your back this time. Don't give me more reason to worry, Gwen. Watch your ass and be careful.” he says, and I reached out to take his hand, bringing it up to my cheek. “Jordan, I promise to be careful, and it won’t go too far, not where I’m concerned. And I know you don’t want to be a part of the case, but would you do it anyway? Both as my boyfriend & my boss?”

I rubbed my cheek where she had slapped me and looked at her in surprise. I certainly didn't expect that response. Hell, I was joking with her other boss and I even complimented her. I had no idea where this was coming from at all.
“First of all, you just made me look like an idiot, Jordan Crenshaw! Second of all, I don’t “belong” to the Bureau. I can be a freelance agent if I want to be, and if I choose to break things off with you, I’ll do it. Thirdly, Robert likes my strategy for the new case, and while I appreciate you being protective of me like Daddy was, I feel you’re holding me a little too tight.”
"Gwen, how in the hell did I make yo look like an idiot. Sure I joked around with the guy but I complimented you and told him how lucky he was to have you. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "belongs" but you're an FBI agent first so your first place is with the bureau, is it not? Or did I miss something here. I apologize if my saying you belong to the bureau offended you but I can assure you that it was not my intention in the least. Of course Scorpio liked your strategy, you're a brilliant strategist. Its a good plan and it will work but as the guy who loves you, I hate it because I hate the idea of your being that close to any man in that way, let alone one who is dangerous", I told her, keeping my voice low and private for just the two of us. I sighed and caressed her cheek briefly. "I know I'm protective but you mean that much to me, ok? I'm sorry. I will try to back off and not hold you so tightly as you put it. You have my word"
“Sometimes, Jordan, it feels like you’re going to talk me out of anything. And while I do love being with you – and love & miss you dearly – I need to see this assignment through. And I don’t mind you being protective of me, but could you let a girl have some freedom & independence once in a great while?”
"I don't mean to sound like I'm trying to talk you out of anything. I know you need to see this assignment though but I just felt like I needed to voice my concerns. I get your need for freedom and independence, believe me. Like I said, I'll try to loosen up a bit and not be quite so protective of you. But I'm always going to be just a little protective at least. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you or worse, if I lost you, Gwen. I know how good you are at your job, that you're the best....but it doesn't keep me from worrying about you", I told her softly.
She brought my hand back up to her cheek and to be honest, her next request surprised me...a lot...especially given all she had just said.
“Jordan, I promise to be careful, and it won’t go too far, not where I’m concerned. And I know you don’t want to be a part of the case, but would you do it anyway? Both as my boyfriend & my boss?”
I raised my eyebrow at her as she asked me to participate in this case with her. I loved working with her and I knew that together, we were unbeatable and that we'd definitely kick ass on this case. I smiled at her and gave the hand she slipped into mine a soft squeeze.
"Sweetheart, nothing would make me happier. I just wasn't sure if you wanted me involved, that you didn't want to break out and do this one on your own. I would love to work with you on this case. We should probably speak with Agent Scorpio and make sure he has no objections and has a place for me on this one before we commit to it", I told her, knowing that as the head of the FBI, I would have issues with an outsider just coming in and working on one of my missions without a place or an ok, so I wished to extend Scorpio the same courtesy. I then looked around to make sure we still had some privacy before I leaned in and gave her a soft kiss. "I'm truly sorry about before sweetheart. I love you", I whispered into her ear after I kissed her and then straightened back up to my full 6'2 height.

But just make sure that you don’t mention that I “belong” to the Bureau next time, okay?”
“I know I'm protective but you mean that much to me, ok? I'm sorry. I will try to back off and not hold you so tightly as you put it. You have my word,” he continues, and I feel a tear slip down my cheek unexpectedly. “I don’t mind you holding me close, but sometimes I can take care of myself, you know that, right?”
“I don't mean to sound like I'm trying to talk you out of anything. I know you need to see this assignment though but I just felt like I needed to voice my concerns.

I know how good you are at your job, that you're the best....but it doesn't keep me from worrying about you,” he continues once again. I feel his thumb wipe the tears that are now free-falling down my cheeks.
“Sweetheart, nothing would make me happier. I just wasn't sure if you wanted me involved, that you didn't want to break out and do this one on your own. I would love to work with you on this case. We should probably speak with Agent Scorpio and make sure he has no objections and has a place for me on this one before we commit to it,” he finishes, and I nod, my eyes closing. Then I felt him lean in to kiss me softly, and I knew he looked around to make sure no one was looking. “I'm truly sorry about before sweetheart. I love you,” he said in my ear, in a soft whisper, before I felt him pull back up to his regular height. “I love you too, Jordan,” I replied, and without opening my eyes, reached out to touch – familiarize myself – with his face. And if I died tonight, I wanted to die a happy woman, a woman in love, because without Jordan, I wouldn’t have that. I opened my eyes and looked straight into his. “Let’s go tell Agent Scorpio about including you in on the case,” I said with a smile, holding my hand out for him to take.

“I’m sorry for hitting you, Jordan, and I promise not to do it again. But just make sure that you don’t mention that I “belong” to the Bureau next time, okay?”
"Its ok, Gwen, I suppose I kind of deserved it. That sounds like a good deal. You don't hit anymore and I won't say that anymore", I said with a soft laugh. I loved her and I would do anything for her, including stepping back if its necessary. I knew that's what she was asking me to do so I would do that for her. I knew that I could be a bit smothering if I became too protective and I didn't want to do that to her.
“I don’t mind you holding me close, but sometimes I can take care of myself, you know that, right?”
"I know you can. You are the strongest and most capable woman I know. I will try to step back and not hold you quite so tightly. I'll still hold you close and do my best to take care of you and protect you, of course, but I'll keep in mind that you are able to take care of yourself and that you don't need me to hover or hold you quite so tightly. I promise. I have complete faithin you and I'll make sure to show it more often"
“I love you too, Jordan. Let’s go tell Agent Scorpio about including you in on the case."
I smiled at her as she offered me her hand. I was a little surprised by the gesture, especially given we kept the fact that we kept our relationship quiet and we were about to go into the office of someone who was going to be her superior. I took her hand in mine and kissed it softly as I kept my eyes on hers. I then smiled at her and gave her hand a soft squeeze. "Yes, let's go in and speak with Agent Scorpio. Remember I don't want to force him into anything just like I wouldn't like anyone to force me into anything. We just reinforce that you and I working together make a stronger team, yes? I mean we do, after all", I told her with a smile as we headed for the door and knocked on Agent Scorpio's door, waiting to be invited in to speak to him.

I promise. I have complete faith in you and I'll make sure to show it more often,” he continued, and I smiled at his faith in me. It was something we often had to work on, both as a couple and as agents. “We’ll work on our issues later, Jordan,” I told him.
I think I surprised him when I held out my hand to him, but I watched him take it anyway to kiss it gently, and I forced myself to hold back a moan at the contact. “Yes, let's go in and speak with Agent Scorpio. Remember I don't want to force him into anything just like I wouldn't like anyone to force me into anything. We just reinforce that you and I working together make a stronger team, yes? I mean we do, after all,” he said, and I nodded in response. “Of course, Jordan,” I told him. “We’ll tell him, and leave it up to him whether he wants you as part of the team. And yes, we are a stronger force together.”

In my office I was on a phone call with Paul Giroux of the Ghalean Foreign Ministry about Walter Dupree for the mission, I was wondering what took Gwen so long. Why was Jordan holding her up? For what reason? When I saw these two it made me think that they’re together, but are they? If so, the FBI would of done something like remove one of them from their bureau and would put a lot of pressure on me take Gwen off the team.
I don’t want to do that because Gwen is one of the smartest and toughest people i’ve just known. The WSB would of done the black box and she would be terminated, dead, gone for good. As I am about done with the phone call, someone knocks on the door as Paul and I finished our phone call conversation. “Come in! It’s open!” I said as Gwen and Jordan come into my office and I was surprised, not of seeing Jordan again but them holding hands. “Ah….hello there Jordan, is their anything I can help you with?”, I asked him. I ask myself why these two are seeing each other but its because they love each other

“Come in! It’s open!” We walked into the office at his invitation and I could see his eyes glance quickly at our joined hands. I made no move to release her hand. I wanted to hold her hand and she apparently wanted likewise as I noticed that she hadn't pulled away either. I gave her hand a soft supportive squeeze as we approached him to discuss our idea with him.
“Ah….hello there Jordan, is their anything I can help you with?”
I glanced over at Gwen and gave her a reassuring smile before I looked to Agent Scorpio to discuss whaqt we had talked about. "Agent Scorpio, let me begin by saying that it is not my intention to step on any toes. I don't ever want to do that. That being said, Gwen and I were talking out in the hall. She and I have worked together on many occasions at the bureau and we're quite successful as a team. I don't know if you have anything in mind in terms of a partner for her on this case, but I'd like to offer my services as her teammate and to help with this in any way I can. If you have room for me to join up with the case and to work with Gwen", I told him, offering myself to the team that he may have assembled, then waiting with Gwen for him to answer and let us know if he was going to allow us to be the team that we were successful at being more often than not.

If there was one thing a woman could ask for, it was having the man she loved by her side, especially if it was someone like Jordan Crenshaw. Not only was Jordan one of the best friends I could ever ask for, he also treated me like an ordinary princess. He didn’t care what I wore or if I complained about not having him around very often – Jordan loved me for who I was on the inside.
Together, holding hands, Jordan and I walked into Agent Scorpio’s office, and I watched his eyes dart quickly to our joined hands but he made no comment. I felt Jordan squeeze my hand, and I rotated my thumb in a circle, letting him know that it was okay to speak, before he glanced over at me and moving his gaze back to Robert’s. “Agent Scorpio, let me begin by saying that it is not my intention to step on any toes. I don't ever want to do that. That being said, Gwen and I were talking out in the hall. She and I have worked together on many occasions at the bureau and we're quite successful as a team.

If you have room for me to join up with the case and to work with Gwen,” Jordan said, and I stood proudly by his side…as his girlfriend and as his partner.
I spoke up when Jordan was done. “Jordan is my confidant, and I don’t know how you’ll feel about us working together, but I was the one who thought he would be good to work on the case with us. But that is only if you’re okay with it, Agent Scorpio.”

But that is only if you’re okay with it, Agent Scorpio” she said as I heard what these two had to say. I thought about it a bit and then looked at the two. “So let me get this straight, you want to be apart of this mission Jordan? Well I don’t see any problem with that, sounds good. We need all the help we can get on this mission, take a seat” , I said as Gwen and Jordan took their seats and I looked at my computer to see if there was anything that was send to me and there wasn’t. I then looked at Gwen and Jordan, ready to begin.
“I was talking to Gwen about our mission. In Port Charles , there’s a man named Walter Dupree, a US Banker that’s using counterfeit currency to finance his investments, and he’s made a deal with Jim Banks to pass the counterfeit money that might destroy the economy in our country. Our mission is to put him out of business for good and recover the stolen printing plates he is using to make the counterfeits. Now me and Gwen had some ideas but I want to hear your thoughts on how to handle this”, I said to him as I listened what he had to say. |

I listened to everything he had to say about the mission and I nodded as he explained to me what they were doing and what the objective was.
“I was talking to Gwen about our mission. In Port Charles , there’s a man named Walter Dupree, a US Banker that’s using counterfeit currency to finance his investments, and he’s made a deal with Jim Banks to pass the counterfeit money that might destroy the economy in our country. Our mission is to put him out of business for good and recover the stolen printing plates he is using to make the counterfeits. Now me and Gwen had some ideas but I want to hear your thoughts on how to handle this"
I had the distinct feeling that he might be testing me, checking to see how I thought on my feet. I could respect that and I likely would have done the same thing had he come to me to work on one of my cases with me. I gave it some thought and I let him know my thoughts on the situation. Fortunately I was somewhat familiar with the names and could speak with some authority on the situation. And it helped that the FBI had recently busted a man who had told us that he was in town to meet with Dupree.
"I know those names and something of their business. You're right, if they go unchecked, that would be a disaster for this country and potentially for the world", I told him, knowing that if a collapsed economy started in one nation, it easily spread to others. "Fortunately, our bureau had recently busted a man named Mitchell Andrews. He is here out of Britian with the intention of doing business with these men. Its our good luck that he prefers to keep himself a shadow, so to speak, so he's careful about not being photographed and, according to our intel, he was on his way to meet Dupree for the first time to discuss dealings with him. Perhaps I could take on Andrews' identity and take that meeting that way we have Gwen on the inside on a personal level and I would be there on the business side. We'd have him surrounded, so to speak", I told him, tossing the best idea I could come up with on the fly.
