Sylwia interjects, "Why not. Meeting people is more than enjoyable as in my old life it was not something I really cared for but secrets be why and prof...prof....prof...what we did. Job thing. Either way since the thing that made me way I be now it seems far more fun to meet other people." She finishes off with a smile before addressing the first part. "You say Gabe be hung up on me but still not sure why. It was odd....is odd the right word. One day he just all of a sudden wanted to be really, really good friends with me."

Calvin will silently take note of the military plate number, and, once they have driven safely past, he will hit the band-adio. Let's see how good Mac's resources are... "Any chance we can run a military plate, number ###### - Can you tell me what base it's stationed at and whether it's use is earmarked for any particular project?"
Smiling at Kristian and Tom, he adds, "It's worth a try anyway."

Trevor chuckled, "Sounds like Gabe and I have something in common." He was glancing towards Allison.
"Down boy." Allison said with a grin. "Sylwia, he fell for you. It is not a bad thing, unless you aren't interested. And if that's the case, you need to sit him down and tell him. Otherwise he will keep trying to win you over."
Trevor grinned, "Worked for me, didn't it?"
Allison chuckled.
Avi cleared his throat, "Get it out of your systems now. We need to set a good example with these folks."
"Yes Father." Allison scoffed.
"Hey! I'm not that much older than any of you." Avi said defensively as they sailed over the city in the hoverSUV.
*****
"I wouldn't bet against you Tom, that's for sure, mon." Kristian replied as they continued passed. No one paid any attention to them. Kristian continued around the corner, where he pulled off.
Beth answered after a moment, "Your plate is attached to the personal vehicle of a Lieutenant Gavin Thomas, stationed at the Naval testing yards. Guys, what the heck have you stumbled onto?"

Tom's breath comes out snappy; an indication he just swallowed a chuckle at Beth's comment. "Well, I don't know for certain, but if you're willing to indulge in wild speculation, a few theories emerge."
"Theory the First: The Judge, Jury and Executioner are cover identities for the 7th Calvary. Beth can disprove or confirm this one pretty quick by crosschecking appearances of all the groups to see if a pattern emerges."
"Theory the Second: Whatever is at the base has both the 7th Calvary and the Judge, Jury and Executioner crew interested and we are in one of those wonderful 'race against time' scenarios that can easily end up with us trying to referee a battle to the death between two separate groups of murderous super-powered lunatics."
"Theory the Third and the Worst: Judge, Jury and Executioner are the frontline for the 7th Calvary or their unwitting goons, which means we have to fight the combined forces of two groups of murderous super-powered lunatics."
"...In conclusion, let's call back up now."

Calvin nods. "Back-up sounds like a capital idea." He thinks to himself, It's pretty ballsy of this Lieutenant Thomas to show up in his personal vehicle... Is this a slip-up or an intentional signal?
Calvin keeps his head on a swivel, looking for other vehicles that may have been surveilling the lieutenant. "let's keep our eyes open... Lt. Thomas may not be alone."

"If you think that be right I will talk with him when opportunity be good. I just not know how to approach it I guess as if true he have hurted feelings." She says as a reply. "And sorry am confused by getting it out of system now. What that mean?"

Alice looks a little confused by the question as she asks "What do you mean?"

"I know why Dex is here, but I don't get why you're here. Doesn't exactly seem like the place to go on a date." Howitzer said flatly.
Jason bristled a bit, "Come on man, don't be like that."
A low gravelly voice joined the conversation, "I'd like to know too." Jesse Custer stepped into view. "Hello Firefight. Long time no see."
"You set us up?" Jason demanded as he sprung to his feet, glaring at Howitzer.
"Harsh words, considering some of the things you've done, Dexter." Custer laughed, ignored the surprised look on his teammates' face. "It's a wonder you can sleep at night, though I bet curling into a peach like this probably helps." Custer looked at Alice with his ice blue stare that could only be called cold.
*****
"Or we have option four." Kristian said as the string of bikers roared passed them, heading further up the coast. He looked in the mirror, "And here comes the Lieutenat. Follow or stop him for a chat?"
*****
"You can figure out how to talk to Gabe later. We're here." Avi said as he pointed. In the distance was the naval base. He tapped sequence on the console keypad, transmitting a clearance code.
After a moment, a voice came over a small speaker, "SLJ, you are cleared to land on pad four."
Below, as Avi began to descend, he could see several naval officers lining up waiting for them. Trevor whistled, "Is it too late to turn back?"
As Avi landed, he shook his head, "Yup."
As they got out, two of the servicemen stepped forward, " I hope you folks can explain why in the hell You're on my base?"

"Wait, am I in charge? Really? Because I can think of several reasons that's a bad idea. Mostly to do with having no clue what I'm doing and having fallen asleep when MacCoulter was explaining that org chart of all the government agencies. And by "falling asleep" I may have magnetically erased his harddrive by accident. Also, his video tapes - but really who even has VHS tapes anymore? I'll tell you who, it's the guy who thinks "JAG" is the best TV show and had the series on VHS, that's who." Tom took a moment. "I'm tired of pursuit, let's pull him over and talk to him."

Long leaves the precinct and drives back to the mansion.
(Is there a safe in his quarters or somewhere that only he has access to?)
Whatever is available, he will lock up the file and then get back in the vehicle and get back to the convenience store where he left Calvin.

Sylwia knowing with her speech patterns and the likes she would remain silent and let the others speak first that way she would not cause any misunderstandings and they were far more eloquent when it came to English.

Alice shakes her head. She was used to being bated now, having known Jason for awhile."This is a waste of time. They don't want to talk and they don't want to listen."

"No, I really think the two of you should stay." Custer said in a low gravelly voice. It was followed by the sound of his saber being unsheathed.
"Hey. Enough. " Jason intervened. "The big guy and I were trying to settle things without anything getting ugly in Miami. Between SLJ and Jury in town, whatever you're after Custer, it's not worth it."
"You can't let us walk away, even if I would." Custer replied.
Howitzer started to speak, "Sir, with all do respect..."
"Shut it." Custer snapped, "You think I didn't see this coming? Soon as I heard Firefight was operational in Florida, I expected you two to hook up. I figured it would be sit down for a few beers and tell lies, not conspire against me and the rest of your squad. Good thing I hired some contractors for this one."
"Who's conspiring?" Jason snapped, stepping between the Calvary members. "Are you an idiot?"
Custer's lip curled into a bit of a snarl before he lunged forward with the saber. Jason did not move.

As Long got back to the house, he was just closing up his personal lockbox when Ashley walked passed his door, "Aren't you supposed to be out with Calvin? I thought Is and I were the only ones holding down the fort. You might want to see Beth before you go anywheres, there's been a few developments." She was not being nosey, but she had clearly seen him put something away. "Do I want to know?"
*****
"By the time Tom stopped talking and made a decision, the Jeep was already passing them by. "And too late, mon." Kristian grinned before wheeling the HSUV around, then lifted it into the air to pass the Lieutenant in the air, and dropped down in front of him to slow. The sound of tires locking up screehed behind them as the Jeep came to a halt. "There, stopped. And I think he's goin for a weapon." Kristian said, looking in the mirror. You two better get out powered up, I can't change in here or I'll break something."
******
As Avi and the command officer began to talk, Alison followed, though she did not look like she was paying much attention. At the same time, Trevor stepped over to Sylwia and lowered his voice, " Anything suspicious about those caterers over there look suspicious to you? I've never seen a y restaurants where that is the standard footwear."
As he said it, Syl could see the man and woman getting into van marked Shorefront Catering were both wearing polished combat boots before it pulled away, driving further onto the base.

Calvin, already in his Paladin form, steps out of the vehicle, one hand up in a 'halt' gesture as he approaches the Jeep.
"Lt. Thomas, we are the SLJ. We'd like a word. Put down your weapons and step out of the vehicle."

"I got called into the precinct for a meeting with the Assistant Deputy Chief. I just had to come back and drop something off. It's taken care of now. Thanks for the heads-up. Where is Beth anyways?"
Long goes where Ashley directs him.
When he finds Beth, "Sorry. I got pulled away. What did I miss?"
