to Rick. I was just so focused on getting him any way I could.”
“That’s the hardest part of the job Beth, not allowing it to get personal. You’re young. You’re a great agent. Experience is a big part of the job.” Beth knew Shay tried to assure her but she’d already made her decision.
“At least it’s out in the open now. My mom no longer has to hide the fact that Rick drugged her in college and then he and his friends raped her. She should have had him arrested but she was too ashamed. She didn’t want my dad to know. But when he told my mom last year that he’d joined the club, she finally confessed. He’d confronted Rick and then never returned to the club. I only discovered my dad’s membership after his death when we sorted through his papers. I found the access card and my mom grabbed it from my hands. I couldn’t let it go, especially after my friend took her own life. She’d been waitressing at the club. I suspect she wore the cocktail dress.” Beth knew Shay understood the girls in dresses were escorts.
“So that’s how your mom had access to the club that day.”
“She was so worried that I was going to end up dead. She’d already lost my dad. She said she barely remembered driving to the club.”
Shay hugged Beth, “Oh honey, I’m glad you didn’t end up that way either. I heard they exhumed your dad’s body and discovered his heart attack had been induced by foul play.”
“My mom and I still believe that was Rick’s doing, but I guess we’ll never know for sure.” Beth then confessed to Shay that the DEA temporarily suspended her from withholding the information, but time away with her mom gave her time to think. “I’ve decided to leave the DEA and go to law school like I planned. The DEA has been cooperative and spoke to the school for me. I begin in January and in the meantime, I have some catching up to do with my mom.”
“Well, that’s not bad news Beth. I’m happy you’re getting your life back on track.”
“Thanks Shay. And thank you all for helping bring down that bastard. He is where he belongs; in hell.” Beth turned to smile at Shay’s partners.
River walked over and hugged her, “You know if you ever get bored of being a criminal lawyer, we’d love to have you at the agency”.
Beth laughed. “You just never know. Undercover work may still be in my blood, just not now”. She waved goodbye and Shay walked her out.

“She’s such a sweet girl. I wish her and her mom all the best,” River spoke up when Shay returned to her desk.
“That she is. I’m happy it all worked out.” Shay grinned.
“I know what that grin means. You’re also happy it all worked out with the bartender.” Cassie laughed.
“Yes, Shay; you were telling us about your weekend getaway with Agent Pierce. So spill girl. Did he bartend on the weekend?” Maile added to shock her partners, “With just a smile on?” Shay laughed as she remembered how shy Maile had been in the beginning.
Maile laughed, “What? My partners are rubbing off on me.”
“I think it’s time for Maile to get a little male bonding time.” Cassie winked.
Shay smiled at her friends and grabbed her purse. “On that note, I must go. I have a hot date with a hot bartender.”
“What? No details Shay?” River probed.
Shay turned and winked. “It’s a secret under-the-covers operation. If you know what I mean.”
