Nick tapped the arm of his chair, looking off into space. "That makes it different, and I'd make it work because I had to do it. Sam's assignment said 'no people assigned' though, which means it's an op for myself and since we can't go alone, I need a partner."
Nick nodded. "Okay. So scratch you, then. I want a back-up person with a power that can be used without notice or would be disbelieved in case we gotta book it. That gives me both Callens, Alexis, Dom, Sam, Troy, maybe Brian and maybe Sheldon," he said.
"You wouldn't assign me to lead it. That would be dumb. As the second partner maybe, but not the other way around." Nick got the light bulb look. "Wait, then it wouldn't be Callen or Sam either, for sure."
