RP: A Brunch turns into more
Who: Alexis, Nate, Maurice, ICIS responding team
Where: NYC
When: October 15, 2011
Summary: A fun trip to the city ends in an unfortunate end.

Alexis liked spending time with Nate. He was... normal. He belonged to the same social circle as she was, and sure his family might have been old money as opposed her dad's fortune, but those things tended to be overlooked with there was fame to go with the money. They had grown up going to the same places, doing the same things, knowing the same families, even if Nate was older than she was.

Today, they had decided to have brunch at Alice's Tea Cup. Alexis loved the atmosphere there, but she knew no one else would understand why you'd spend $10 for eggs, but Nate got it, and they went there, and afterwards, they walked around. This part of the city was the most different. Gone was the Metropolitan and Central Park, replaced by the heart of the federal government with its buildings and the many restaurants, delis and cafes that sprang around it to deal with tourist and employees alike. However, there were some places that were still familiar.

As they started to walk down 5th Avenue, Nate tensed. "What is it?" she asked.

"I'm sure they'd just love it if you started telling them just how unprepared our agents are." Mike said shaking his head. It would have been just too perfect, it wouldn't be getting the girls pregnant that got them killed it would be someone complaining.

Mike rolled his eyes, "You know one day you're going to actually listen to what people say to you instead of putting words in everyone's mouths." They were stuck here, they couldn't change it - but complaining about it, spending all their time focused on the things they couldn't change wasn't going to fix anything, and it wasn't going to make it better.

He really was going to shoot Robert one day, or maybe he'd end up with a power to shut people up - that would be useful. For the time being though he was stuck at least making an attempt at playing nice while they were working and Robert kept right on being an ass.

Mike Ross was completely lost, he didn't know what he was doing there. Oh he knew in a general sort of way, in a text book sort of way, but like law the practice of being an agent wasn't quite as easy in reality. And sure his partner was there and she was a mess, but she seemed more interested in clinging to Riggins than talking to Mike, so he found himself at something of a loss. In the end he was all too happy to to have Callen telling him to usher the two into a car and off the street, it gave him something to do and he didn't have to keep on trying to look anywhere other than the body.

"Now we do what we can for her, we talk to her - we listen when she's ready to talk about. We let her do whatever she's doing with Riggins, and we don't go around pretending like everything is fine because there are rules we have to follow and we might not like them." So maybe that last bit was aimed more at Robert, but Mike wasn't exactly feeling forgiving.

"I didn't say that they weren't prepared, only that the man in charge forces us to do the paperwork." Robert kept a polite smile on his face. "Or maybe I'm not the one who doesn't listen."

Robert barely looked at Ross after speaking to him. "Right, because we're such a paradigm of sanity. The kid is better off never talking again." In fact, that didn't seem a bad idea at all. "Rules are temporary and often broken here, but since we don't seem able to understand each other, we should stop talking, too. No danger of putting anything in anyone's mouth." He was perfectly happy to stay quiet until they got home, especially since he spent enough time talking to Kensi and pretending that he gave a shit about all sorts of nonsense.
