RP: Picking up the Pittsburg team Who: Marty Deeks, Alexis Castle, Sean Hanna, Tommy Merlyn, Robert Callen, Troy Bolton, Claudia Donovan, Travis Marks, TJ Hammond, Doug Hammond Where: Pittsburgh, PA When: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 Summary: Time to pick up the rest of the team.
Taking over for G was definitely not the easiest task in the world. Marty felt like he was working double time just to cover half the things G would have thought of in his sleep. He'd set up ops before with LAPD. But, they'd been mostly solo gigs that only involved how to get himself in and out in one piece. He'd worked with Sam and G for years now. But, it wasn't the same as stepping into that role himself.
It was kind of nerve-wracking if he let himself think about it too much, which he was carefully not doing. He was focusing on one step at a time, looking only as far ahead as he could plan for with as little as they still had to go on. First thing: get the units settled and ready to shift gears to start training for a rescue mission in who knew where. Second step: Go pick up the rest of his team to get all hands on deck.
Happy New Year.
Marty's plan was simple, really. Marks had furniture to move. The retrieval team became movers.
He told Marks to liquidate the car. Then, leaving Robert and his crew with the plane, Marty took Alexis, Sean, and Merlyn to rent a nondescript moving van and drove out to pick up Marks and the Hammond brothers. He left Sean and Alexis with the van and sent Marks a text to let him know they were there. It was only about half an hour's drive back to the plane and Marty held off on explanations until everything was loaded and they were getting settled for take off.
That was when he turned to Marks and held out his hand. "Thanks for answering the call, man."
