Episode is on location in Alexandria, Egypt

 SandStar Oil

This had to be the most awkward plane ride ever. Talia thought to herself as she folded her arms stepping off with her carryon Louis Vuitton bag. As she stepped off the plane Egypt was stunning. The high risers seemed to shine brightly and the Hummer limo seemed to perk everyone up. Quickly taking Dani’s hand she smirked. “This is what you’ve been waiting on and about New Years look I’m sorry I was such a bitch. I was hurt and honestly how could I be mad at my roomie. Sweetie I’m so happy for you after Lex’s bullshit you bagged a Devonshire.” She teased as she kissed her cheek. Everything seemed so lavish in Alexandria.

She watched everyone getting inside as Zerick helped all the ladies inside of the limo. “Thank-you.” She felt his hand palm her ass. Quickly turning around she looked at him with that cheeky toothy smile. Talia shot Zerick a death stare his wife was right there. How disrespectful not to say she was considering him. Leaning over she smiled then mouthed. “If you touch me again I’ll chop off your hand.” Never losing her spellbinding smile. She saw they were going downtown in Alexandria they were picking up Natasha.

Jackson wrapped his arm around Dani as he watched her amazement at all the sights she was seeing. It was fun seeing the middle east through new eyes. Picking up her hand he kissed it as he saw Chauncey staring at them. “Don’t worry we are going to nail down this deal and enjoy Egypt as a vacation. I wanted to Christen the DGI jet with your screams.” He kissed her cheek as he smiled at his brother. “I don’t know if you’ve heard Chauncey about Rory and that stripper I think we should talk to him as bros.”

Greer glibly snickered as she snuggled closer to Zerick watching Chauncey and Jackson try to play nice. “Well I think you both should help him a Devonshire with a stripper quite the controversy. It’s been all over the tabloids but it’s so nice you two are going to help him. You should do that more protect each other. Unknown threats are always around the corner.”

Dani looked at Talia and nodded her head at her yes that was what she was thinking about at New Years and well now it was entirely different. “It’s okay I was just stressed. I’m sorry too.” She said looking at Talia. She looked out the window taking in the sights and the sounds, she smiled up at Jackson when he kissed her hand and she was pretty sure she was bright red as he mentioned them on a jet. She’d been willing to try on the flight and had they not been interrupted by a knock on the bathroom she would have let him. “Room suite, much better than everyone on a plane hearing.”

Chauncey leaned back on the seat raking his eyes over Greer with her husband. She should by his side for this trip in his bed and he had every intention of wooing her there. He looked over at Jackson attempting to be cordial about Rory and a stripper. Yes he papers had been all over that but really he was pretty sure his baby brother banged his share of strippers too.

“You don’t say Rory was banging a stripper you had a few of those in your days didn’t you? Perhaps you can give him pointers on that I’ll make sure to give him the advice to run. After all certain women should just be below our class should they not?” Chauncey said with the best fake smile he could as he looked at Dani and his brother.

AFPD

Jon hadn’t said much to Devin since the freaking mess he caused. It was a mess. His sister was almost hit by a car, and some mysterious guy saved her. Not to mention he was getting more and more antsy about Cassie and Skye. They were both great girls and seeing Skye at TJ’s yesterday brought back a lot of memories. Not to mention the late night calls from Cassie which were getting more and more intense. Audrey Montgomery the stunning opera singer who committed suicide. She exposed more layers to him and he was started to see that Cassie was lost as he was. That was what he found attractive. The fact that Skye was still persistent as ever. That made him feel good. He wasn’t sure which instinct to follow. As he looked at Devin he looked perplexed also. As he walked to his partner desk.

“Hey, don’t hurt my sister with Merci.” He lowered his head wondering if he’d honestly overstepped his place. “I just am protective Devin and you can’t say a guy sniffing around Rochelle you wouldn’t be just as cautious. Look I am not saying that I’m judging you on your connection to Miranda. I mean she has been at that club and ever since the almost hit and run. Well she’s been distant to me and I’m assuming you also. Miranda has a way of freezing out the ones she cares and love about.”

Devin was filing paperwork on a few of the cases that they had been closing when Jon approached his desk things had been awkward since Merci and Skye showed up at the fireworks. Miranda had been pushing him away and she had thrown herself into work she was not happy about him inviting Merci and Skye. In defense he had invited Merci as a friend and not Skye who was up to her old ways of screwing around with Jon’s life. Not to mention the earful he got about the shit she was attempting to pull on Jackson with Dani. He looked up at Jon and knew Jon wasn’t trying to be a dick overstep his bounds. Family was important to Jon and his family, Miranda’s happiness was important to Jon.

“I am not trying to hurt Miranda I invited Merci as a friend. I wasn’t the one who told her to include Skye and maybe you should follow your own advice you are begging for trouble if you let her back into your life.” Devin said looking at Jon as he closed the folder in front of him on his desk. He and Miranda were fine maybe in a bit of a tiff at the minute but he certainly wasn’t dragging Merci along he had been very clear that friends was all they could be. “Your sister is just working her butt off you know how important this is to her and I am not about to not let her do it.”

Devonshire Mansion

The holiday’s had past in Atlas Falls and now looking at the estate decorated to the hilt for the annual party she threw she knew that things were changing. She still felt horrible for Tony, Jamal’s arrest was public news and he was awaiting trial the judge had given him house arrest. More that Lowell and Tony had paid the judge off to allow the house arrest. Jamal was safer on house arrest at an unknown location. Hidden away on the outskirts of town with police watching the house and private security to boot. She nodded her head to the wait staff as Lowell approached her and her eyes glared as Tess entered her house with Bliss following her.

“How is Tony I know he was going to try and see Jamal if Jamal will see him?” Jackie asked hoping that Tony was still holding on. She knew that he had to be hurting right now. Jamal was still not cooperating with the police or Braden if he didn’t start soon they would have no choice but to actually go to a trial on drug possession charges. Looking over at Tess laughing with a guest she snorted and then glared at him. “Really Lowell will it ever end the disrespect that you show me with Tess? I have tried with Bliss she lives here and yet you allow this?”

“What am I supposed to do ostracize my daughter’s mother? Bliss feels attacked and Tess unfortunately makes her feel safe.” Lowell said lowering his head. He never felt so low. He was embarrassing his wife, however his daughter was in pain and Tess knew what it was about. He would have to do whatever he could to help her. As he reached out to Jackie he smiled. “You have always been by my side even in times I didn’t deserve it. I don’t want to hurt you but I don’t want to lose Bliss or you. It isn’t about disrespect it’s about my love for my daughter.”

Lowell watched Tess and Bliss laughing seeing his daughter look so carefree. “I have neglected her and Tess has secrets, I’m going find out what that is. If I can ask you for a favor. Please don’t chase Tess or Bliss away. I’m going to find out what is haunting my daughter and I’m going to run Tess out of town once and for all. I don’t need a fight. I want you to play the game Jackie, don’t let her bait you because that’s what she’s doing. No I don’t think Jamal is a priority considering Selina stunt has put Mason in the line of jail.”

Atlas Falls Cemetery

Kendrick looked over the lawn of the Atlas Falls cemetery he figured it would rain today as he looks over at Money’s mother who is with the reverend going over the last details of the ceremony. The small crowd ha long past gone and though he knows Money deserves better than to be in the very back of the cemetery for him it is all his mother would allow. He had offered to pay for the expenses as best he could but she had refused a prideful thing. He had made sure the coffin had been upgraded at the home something he insisted upon. This life was hard and Money knew that when he signed up to work for Ronan.

He and Money had been best friends since they were toddlers their mothers made ends meet together, their fathers both absent from their lives. They looked out for each other and their respective families, there was no one he trusted more than Money and now he was gone, thanks to Thor Luciano. Ronan had promised him retribution but he had yet to actually act upon that he was too focused on cosying up to the blonde bitch at the resort. Brooke Kincaid was becoming more and more of a liability to the organization the more time his boss spent with her. His mind floated back to the grave as he hand went to Money’s mother’s shoulder as the reverend finished the prayer.

His eyes scanned the cemetery just to make sure that no one else was there to threaten the day, everyone in the organization had been on alert since the shootings. His eyes landed on the black town car as it approached and he saw Ronan get out his arm still in the sling. He saw no other cars as Ronan approached the ceremony and his boss leaned down to place a kiss on Money’s mother’s forehead. He saw Ronan move to stand by her and was grateful that the little bitch didn’t accompany him she was not of their world. She didn’t belong here and now that she was a part of it, he had every intention of telling her that.

The reverend ended the sermon and he saw Ivan walking Money’s mother away leaving him to stare at the coffin with Ronan standing next to him. “I am surprised the upper crust society bitch didn’t come with you. She’s not from our world.”

Ronan had come to pay his respects Money was a valuable member of his organization and had been loyal to him since he had been initiated. Money had been Kendrick’s best friend and confidante they were inseparable. Kendrick was hurting he could tell of course it was just a front at the end of the day in order to cover his grief. He knew Kendrick didn’t trust Brooke and Brooke didn’t trust Kendrick that would be a bigger problem than was necessary at the end of everything. He couldn’t have them at odds with each other.

“Watch yourself Kendrick. Brooke will be respected at the end of the day she has earned it. You have earned your place as my right hand. You will show Brooke the respect she deserves you respected my mother did you not?” Ronan asked seeing Moneys mother being loaded into a waiting car and then Ivan waiting at his town car. Money would have liked the service, but it was also an opportune time for Thor to strike if he wanted too. “Are we clear on Brooke or do I need to make another example?”
