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."

Travis had pretty much thought of everything, but then Deeks called covering the same stuff. He should have known that they would duplicate the thinking, but it was better to be over-prepared than under-prepared.

When they were finally settled to leave, Travis shook Deeks' hand. "No need to thank me. So what's going on? Where's the usual suspects?" Not that he didn't like Deeks, he did, but from what he'd seen in the short time there, Callen and Sam were the first to go when there was something to do. "Unless you just missed me, which I would understand. I'd miss me, because I'm that amazing."

Marty laughed. "You got me, man. I just couldn't go another day without you." Clapping Marks on the shoulder, he nodded toward the seats. "Buckle up. I'm not eager to be the ones delaying Robert's take off."

Heading for his own seat, he waited for Marks to join him. "We lost the leads. All four of them are MIA: G, Sam, Derek, Emily. They went out the day after Christmas and disappeared. We're mounting a rescue operation, but it'll take time. It's not going to be easy. We've been living in conditions that are quite a bit more isolated and less civilized than the base for the last couple months. We're now training for conditions that could be a hundred times worse.

"In the meantime, we need every able body we can muster. Reese has taken over as Security Chief and Second-in-Command. Until we find them, I'm taking over as Lead."

"At least you can admit it. It's a big first step. I'm sure your wife is really proud of you." Travis grinned as he found a seat and strapped himself up. "Somehow I don't think the service on his plane is as nice as on a commercial flight."

He took in the information. Of course, joking was the first response. "And now I know why you came to this dimension. You skipped Lieutenant and went straight to Captain. You know if you'd put the years, you'd have gotten there even in LAPD." He might joke, but he knew that Deeks wanted the desk job as much as he did.

"You don't wait to rescue people. Every hour lessens the chance of success. You have forty-eight hours before they are dead or compromised," he said in a much lower tone. "They aren't here anymore, are they?" There was no other reason why they'd wait. Even an half-assed plan was better than waiting and giving the government to hide them deeper.

"Since you're lead, I guess you need to know about us, don't you? We've kept up with training. They are pretty good technically," he said without hiding the pride. "Better than your average cop, not as good ad a SEAL, but then none of us are. They know what to do, how to defend themselves. Emotionally, I don't know They were never really tested. It was always with me or each other, and they trust me. There's also a difference in thinking that you're exercising and knowing that you are out there shooting at people and worse being shot at. TJ has been clean this entire time."

"What? We're very nice on this plane," Marty replied with a smirk. "We just define service by branches of the military."

Snorting, he rolled his eyes. "Yep, that's me. Fast track to brass."

Marty watched as Marks processed everything he was saying, unsurprised when he reached the correct conclusion. You didn't survive working the sort of cases they worked, the sort of undercover assignments they worked, without being able to put things together with connections so thin they made garroting wire look thick. Pursing his lips, he shook his head once.

"TJ, hm?" Marty wasn't going to press, but he'd been around the rest of the family enough to know Thomas Hammond didn't let just anyone call him that. They might need to reconsider roommate assignments. "I'll need to see for myself, but to be honest, everyone's going to be tested now. We're looking at going into a situation like the one Reese and John come from and it's going to throw everyone. You missed the speech Reese gave everyone about it. Cheerful.

"We're putting all three of you right into the field units starting tomorrow. We're putting the three of you in a house with Dom and Jenna and the baby, as well as our newest arrival. Dr. Isles arrived a week before Christmas, Chief Medical Examiner from Boston. So, she's familiar with law enforcement and totally inexperienced. You're also being assigned to my unit as second-in-command. You'll be partnered with one of the brothers. Alexis is my partner. We just borrowed Sean and Merlyn for this mission since you were the ones we were picking up."

"If you're the nice one, I don't know what it says about the rest," Travis answered, but his mind was on that confirmation. "Sorry. How's your wife taking it?" He had always resisted having a family, but he believed in its importance and a cop's wife was just as important as a cop. Travis would care about Savannah regardless of her personality.

Travis shrugged at the implied question. Deeks was going to find out anyway, and it was much easier to be upfront. "TJ, part of the cover, became more, he says it's going to stay more, I'm waiting to see what the return does to them. It's not going to interfere with work, but I want to be partnered with him. Regardless of the situation with us, you have to take TJ a certain way to make him do what you need him to do. Doug is much more logical about things."

He snorted. "Do I get to hear the speech again? I love them so much, especially when they are as upbeat as you say, or you can give me the recap."

Tommy/TJ (with some Douglas)

Tommy loved to fly. He loved private jets even more. He did not enjoy flying in things that could fit plenty of people and equipment (and possibly vehicles), but had cabin space that looked like some kind of futuristic hallways of torture, which provided no privacy at all.

He didn't let that stop him from greeting the one person who knew how to party. "Thomas Hammond, it is good to see you," he said, offering his hand. "Douglas, it's good to see you too." That wasn't a lie, just not really the truth either. "Your parents told me you were here. It's good to know you weren't dead like they told us."
