Beth and Tom arrived at the computer room in time to catch the end of the discussion and Deci's obvious resignation. Beth had to jump aside to avoid getting in Deci's way.
Patriot sat in the corner, and waited until Deci left to speak," I guess you got your answer concerning Ms. Winters. Not everyone works out, I can assure you. But you handled the situation as well as I would have."
* * * * *
Avi offered Siobhan a hand up to her feet, and explained," Some of Isamu's speech might have been directed at Deci. She tends to do as she sees fit and not necessarily what is best for the team. "
Kristian couldn't help but shake his head at Sierra's actions, " I know there's no love lost between you two, but yeesh. And if it helps, I won't call you Otto, and I'm sure you won't be our token strongwoman. Come on," he offered his hand," let's go see Is and what he has planned."
* * * * *
" So, running away already, Ice box?" Deci heard from behind her as she headed away from the computer room. " Should have seen you'd be the quitter, too cold hearted to be a team player." Ashley chided as she stepped into the hallway behind Deci. " The cold in Antarctica must have froze your brain if you honestly beleive there's only right or wrong. A friend taught me a long time ago there is no black and white, it's all shades of grey. But if you're bailing, remember the door swings out, so don't let it hit you in the ass on the way out." She turned with a smirk and started towards the computer room.

Tom looks at Beth for a moment, then at Isamu, and then at the newcomer. "Uh...hi. Should we come back later?"

Siobhan watches the proceedings quietly, a little confused but somewhat concerned by what is going on; the animosity is fairly obvious, so she backs away a pace, not entirely certain that she wants to get involved. Absently, she brushes some of the water droplettes from her arm.

Deci takes one last look almost wanting to say something, almost. But just shakes her head knowing full well that the people here will never understand. And with that she takes out her funds card as given and puts it on the stand as she exits the door and goes to help Trent.

" Nothing important." Patriot said, stepping out of the way so Tom and Beth could enter. " We were just discussing Isamu's handling of things, and that I wouldn't have done much better."
Behind Beth and Tom, Ashley appeared in the doorway, her baggy clothes replaced with her more usual attire. She said nothing before stepping up to Isamu and drawing him close for a kiss in front of the others. As she broke it, she said," I'm sorry, but I had to do what I could to help Trev."
Back in the main room, Avi stepped away, his brow furrowed. " Siobhan, you okay? Hey, come on, I'll show you where Isamu is rounding up the others. You'll be able to meet the rest of the team."

Isamu watches December leave. Everyone can tell he is actually sad about the whole situation. He thinks, 'I should have handled that differently. I did not want it to end this way.'
He takes a deep breath and looks at those who have began filtering into the room. He accepts the kiss from Ashley, and says to her, "it is in the past as I said. I wish to move forward. Do not worry, I have not forgotten Trevor, we are going to help him. Their are some other matters to consider first."
He looks at everyone else. "I know it has been an eventful day and many of us need to rest and relax. However, I want to make sure that we all are on the same paper," he says not aware of the idiomatic mistake he made.
"First let me say although I may be team leader, their will be times I am not with you in the field or on assignment. I will try in those circumstance to designate a field leader. There may be situations where there is not time for that. We need to discover a way to establish a chain of command as it were. If you have any suggestions on how field operations can be better handled, please share them with me."
He then says, "Beth, Janie and Dimitri will be leaving with MacCoulter for another assignment. Do you feel comfortable handling the control room as she did? You seemed to fit in very well and take to it with ease. Also, where do we stand as far as the events from today? Tom?"

"Got us a snitch - not sure if it's in the Bretheren or the Mayor's posse, but it's something." Tom replies, and looks at Beth curiously, wondering what this is about here leaving.

" Me?" Beth looked at Isamu in suprise. " I was just trying to help out while Janie recovered." She looked at Tom, tapping her lip with her finger," I guess I could tell the paper I was working from home for a while, and just go in for meetings and to submit my columns. That is if Tom could handle me being around all the time..." she trailed off with a wink.
"Is, my love," Ashley chuckled," It's page. All on the same page. Anyways, Trevor and his new buddy are holed up for now until we can go talk to them."
Patriot stood up, " By Trevor are we talking about Trevor Mitchell? as in the one hunted by the police for murdering his girlfriend by burning down a house? I knew he was a past associate, but if you know where he is, then you..."
Ashley snapped," shut up. I don't know who you think you are, but Trev is being set up and we're gonna help him, not turn him in."
Patriot looked at Isamu, and so did Ashley.
Beth whispered to Tom," Do us a favor and don't get yourself in charge "

Isamu looks at Ashley and raises his hand to indicate that she should stop talking, "I will handle this Ashley."
Turning to Patriot he says, "first I want to say I understand what you are saying and I am clear on your point. However, as was just pointed out to me, being a federal agency, there is no limit as to the crimes we investigate and deal with and our jurisdiction supersedes that of local authority. I believe you yourself stated as much.
"Secondly Trevor never officially quit this agency. He moved out to work on his relationship with Allison. So technically, he is an agent in need, much as Ryne was after the incident in North Carolina (i think it was north carolina if not, sub in the right state).
"Thirdly, as I have stated before, I believe our job is to protect and help the innocent. If Trevor is innocent, we have every responsibility to help him. He claims he is, and knowing him, there is no way he would do anything to harm Allison. It would be the same as me killing Ashley.
"Wraith had with him an individual that had much the same abilities as Trevor. He was working for the police. I believe that it was Wraith behind this setup. If we can trace this backwards, perhaps it will lead us to Wraith and help us build the case against him.
"As the leader of this team, I am going to have the team investigate what occurred. If in the end it is discovered Trevor is responsible," he pauses knowing this is where Ashley may get upset with him, "I will bring him in personally. If not we will help prove his innocence. As I told the team, until such time as I am replaced, it is my decision to make."

Tom nods knowingly at Beth, and smiles.

'i know it seemed like i didn't really care. but in a way, while annoyed at her . . she was still a team member. water is a good way to snap people out of episodes. not sure what happened to her . . but that wasn't her when she left.
'anyways . . we should rejoin them. need to know what we're gonna do. i know that Iz was talking about security and here when i allowed 'him' into the house. i did what i believed was right. i stand by it. i'm sure he'll be put to work soon enough . . . '
*she slips into the room with the others and listens to Iz's speach to patriot and the rest. she wonders just what will happen next.

Siobhan gives her head a little shake, then smiles to Avi.. "I'm fine, lets go." she replies after a moment. "Who all have I not met?" the blonde then asks, curiously.

"I'll introduce you. Come on." Avi told Siobhan and led the way.
* * * * *
Beth smiled back, then gave Tom a peck on the cheek," I was hoping you'd say that. Isamu, I guess I'm in."
Ashley gave Isamu a dirty look, but said nothing as he finished his response.
Patriot folded his arms," It's your decision of course, especially if he is a member of your team at large. I didn't mean to step on any toes."
Kristian and Sierra slid into the room, and Kristian asked, " So is this everyone?"
" It is now." Avi said as he ushered Siobhan into the computer room. " Siobhan, you met Kristian and Sierra when we went to help Tom and Beth. and you heard Isamu give his speech and the grumpy looking one at his side is Ashley. You'll meet Alice and Jason when they get back from England. Did we miss much?"
"Avery, you're staying?" Patriot asked in suprise.
Avi shrugged," They need someone with a little experience, right? Besides, Dylin told me he have someone else lined up for the west team."

*Si's eyes shift from Avi to Patriot then about the room. 'wait a minute. i know that big D and Janie are leaving . . . but . . . where's Ryne? he's the other strong armed guy . . and . . '
*she stares at Patriot and then down at the ground before looking at Avi. 'lemme guess, Ryne's going? great. i really didn't want to wear the spotted outfit of the circus strongman . . . guess i am'
*she takes a deep breath and lets it out in a rush. 'fine, whatever. like i really had much choice. this is pay back for saving the family and getting 'him' away from Wraith . . right?'

Siobhan offers a friendly nod to Ashley, then moves to find a seat, settling into it. "Quite the setup y'all have here." she comments, eyeing the various computer systems and monitors.(Im assuming its an impressive setup.. if its like, just an old Apple IIC or something, I'll retract)
