This is in reply to the challenge. It doesn't have a name other than that, yet. This is only the first part. If I post this now It should motivate me to finish it. Title: The challenge part 1 Author: Vick E-mail: colesyrulz@yahoo.com.au Disclaimer: yadee yadee yada not mine never will be can't stop me from dreaming though ‘Who’d have thought we’d end up here again?’ Pete said to Mac who was sitting next to him on his couch wrapped just in a towel. ‘I know. It’s good though, isn’t it?’ ‘It sure is, babe.’ ‘Babe? Who you calling babe eh?’ She said playfully while mock wrestling him to the ground. ‘Yeah I said babe,’ he replied before pulling her into him for a passionate kiss. QUITE SOME TIME EARLIER – at the factory ‘Come on everyone. This is important. We really need to get this one done, on time and on budget!’ ‘Awwww Mac…’ ‘Yes Pete?’ ‘You know you shouldn’t restrict my creative capabilities. It’s in the best interest of the rest of the team too, you know.’ ‘And how is that?’ ‘Well, put it this way. If I am grumpy, who is it that I spend everyday of my life with eh?’ ‘Yes Pete. Whatever you say. Now guys they are really breathing down our necks on this one. We need to be in their goods books at the moment.’ ‘Yes Ma’am’ They all reply in unison. ‘Nice to hear you are listening to me for once. This is the target.’ She points to a photo of an Asian man on the board wearing an apron. ‘Jeromy Lo owns a Chinese restaurant, the…’ Mac looks through her notes, ‘The Imperial.’ ‘Hey, I know that place. That’s my favourite restaurant. I go there all the time. They always have a Merry Christmas and Happy new year sign in their window. The owner has the cutest little daughter. She was just given a tickle-me-elmo doll for her birthday and she takes it with her everywhere. It is so cute.’ ‘Have you finished yet Danni?’ ‘Sorry Mac, she’s just so cute and it always laughs.’ ‘Thank you Danni. We’ll get to her later. Back to the case. J-Lo is believed to be involved in importing illegal firearms. Danni, as you already know the target, you will just be developing your relationship. Pete you and I will be going in as a couple of drug lords looking to expand our business. Stone and Ange, I know it’s a drag but you two will be in the Com – Ve. Alright everyone, that’s it. Danni you might want to go get some lunch.’ ‘Mac, just because I’m p…’ ‘At the Imperial.’ ‘Oh, yep, onto it. See you guys later.’ Danni goes to the imperial where she orders her usual lunch: A fried rice and three bananas. Stephanie, the daughter of Jeromy, who is still carrying her tickle-me-elmo doll, approaches her. ‘Hey Steph, come sit with me and have a banana, I know you love them. I ordered one especially for you.’ ‘Yes thank you Danni. Would you like a turn of elmo?’ ‘Sure thing. What do I do?’ ‘You just tickle him, like this.’ Danni and Steph become engrosed in their little game. So much so that they do not notice Pete and Mac enter. ‘Hi. I’d like to see Jeromy.’ Pete demands as they enter. ‘Who may I say it is?’ the doorman asks ‘Nick and Nichola, it’s about the ‘add in the paper’ He’s expecting us.’ ‘Right this way then’ THE COM-VE ‘Hey Angie?’ ‘Yep’ ‘Have you noticed how Mac never puts us in as a couple anymore? I wonder why that is?’ ‘Hmmmmm Stone, maybe it’s because she wants the action with Pete or maybe she thinks we’re involed and might get up to something or maybe… Does it really bother you that much?’ ‘Spose not. At least I get to be in here with you. So, you wanna come to my house after for a beer?’ ‘Sure, why not? We better get back to listening though.’ ‘Yep sure cool.’ THE RESTAURANT ‘We’re here about a job’ ‘Nick and Nichola?’ ‘yep’ ‘Where are you staying, I’ll contact you’ ‘The Hyatt, suite 206.’
