I own nothing except a few characters and the plot.
HALLOWEEN
WELCOME TO NEW YORK
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK
Tommy Doyle sighed as he thought about the hand that fate had dealt him. A couple of weeks ago, Tommy and Michael Myers had left Haddonfield after the city council had wasted a week of Michael's time with nonsense meetings. Then they told Michael that he would be fired if he didn't drop the zero tolerance attitude he had. Michael instead had resigned and Tommy had followed suit leaving Haddonfield in the hands of the Empire. New York City came calling the next day. Tommy had taken a job with the NYPD and Michael had taken the FBI post he had held for about 2 months last year. Tommy would start in a couple of weeks, but Michael had started once he had gotten settled in.
"So this is the place?" Tommy asked Michael who was dressed not in his usual work outfit but rather a Tapout T-Shirt and pair of jeans. Tommy noted that he had never seen Michael dressed this casually for work before.
"Yep and before you ask, we're still unpacking and this outfit was the only thing I had to wear. Besides, the dress code here is more relaxed that Haddonfield. You're gonna see a whole new me here."
"You have that mask in a box somewhere." Tommy said.
"Threw it off the George Washington Bridge." Michael replied. Two Imperial soldiers working a desk in the lobby looked up as they walked into the building and over to where they were.
"Can I help you?" One soldier asked.
"I work here now." Michael told the two Imperials. The elevator behind the soldiers dinged and Colonel Tevin Felth walked out.
"Myers, Tommy." He said.
"Tevin." Tommy said.
"Colonel Felth." Michael said. Michael had spent the past week reveiwing the files on his new team trying to figure out how he was going to run this place. He was no Bryan Khayman, but knew that Felth had been one of Khayman's bright spots on the team. Michael and Tommy followed Tevin back to the same elevator that he had come off of.
"I heard One Police Plaza has some sort of hold up in getting Doyle shifted into his place." Michael said.
"They have to shift some guy who is used as an order maintainer out so they can shift Tommy in. Van Buren retired between her cancer battle and losing Khayman after she won that. The 27th that Tommy's geting is not the same one Khayman spent his days at the NYPD with and not the same one that the first version of Khayman's teamwas founded at." Tevin said.
"Sounds like he made quite a name for himself here. He only came to Haddonfield once and it was on Jedi business."
"You guys were working for Franks when that terrorist tried to kill Michael." Tommy said earning himself a stare from Michael and a stopped elevator from Tevin.
"Did Khayman do this too?" Michael asked.
"It's the only place in the building where Radar can't listen to private conversations." Tevin replied.
"Any open cases?" Tommy asked.
"Just a terrorist case that a couple of TIE Fighters took care of for us and a gang case that's gone cold, but Miguel is still working it." Tevin restarted the elevator.
"I'll need to see both case files." Michael said.
"Good luck getting the second one from Miguel. He's been hoarding it in his desk, won't let anyone even look at it."
"So he's breaking Rule Number 10. Never take a case personally." Tommy said. They stepped off the elevator and into what looked like another lobby.
"Radar." Tevin called after seeing an empty reception area.
"Radar?" Tommy asked confused.
"Company clerk, he usually appears before he's called. Maybe we got a delivery and he went to check it in."
"Yeah, you did. Michael nearly ripped the driver's head off after the truck nearly rear-ended us coming into the garage." Tommy said earning a head-slap from Michael.
"Anyway, we have our own elevator from the garage but you need Imperial ID to use it. Did they ever give you one when you were here before?" Tevin said.
"Piett took it when I left for some reason." Michael said.
"Piett takes Imperial IDs from people who shouldn't have them. Radar sells them for $50 a piece though. Which explains why Mrs. Jacobs is always in here eating the snacks we keep in here."
"That will stop once the sweet snacks disappear from here." They walked into the main room where Admiral Firmus Piett was standing in front of a microwave.
"Admiral." Michael said.
"Myers." Piett replied.
"Tommy Doyle." Tommy added.
"Firmus Piett." Piett shook Tommy's hand.
"Tommy's been by my side for many years. He'll be working out of the 27 in a couple of weeks." Michael said.
"I guess that Master Jedi Khayman's involvement with that place warranted bringing you in?" Piett asked Tommy.
"He left many classified files in many places." Michael said.
"We are still sorting through many of those files. The CIA has been very nosy with the contents of his private files." Tevin said.
"CIA? Guy posing as an Army Colonel?" Tommy asked.
"Man named Trent Kort. If you're talking about who I think you're talking about, he's US Army Intel." Tevin replied.
"So you have Colonel Thompson problems too then?" Tommy asked as Michael gave him another head-slap. Piett gave Tevin a head-slap for even mentioning the CIA.
"You brought up Khayman and the 27." Tevin told Piett as the microwave beeped and Piett removed the food he had been cooking.
"I believe I still have your ID in my desk, if not I will process a replacement ID and a visitor ID for your friend. Colonel Felth, get him all the active case files including the ones in Colonel Chavez's desk drawers and the file on the case that my son just closed for us in his own way of doing it." Piett said and left.
"Gonna have to start teaching the rules here and at the 27. We've already got Rule 10 broken and who knows what other rules are being broken here." Tommy said as a pair of double doors opened.
"Derik, I do not go through your desk." Lt. Colonel Max Walertin said.
"Good, because my desk may be booby-trapped in the future." Replied Lt. Colonel Derik Lavi. They stopped when they saw Michael.
"Lavi was trained by Mossad and most of his stuff is classified. Walertin is a class clown type." Tommy filled Michael in.
"I know that already Doyle. I read the files while I was packing."
"What case are you two working?" Piett asked.
"Very bad multiple homicide. Miguel and Tyler are in Interrogation with a suspect right now." Max said. Michael raised an eyebrow.
"Where's Richie?" Tevin asked.
"Watching them. Miguel and Tyler last I know of them were getting nothing from this suspect other then he slept with a teenage girl who he thinks will admit to it herself." Derik said.
"Wait. He's confessing to stat rape to avoid a murder charge? That doesn't really make sense since we can get his DNA from that arrest." Tommy was confused.
"I'll go take over for them." Michael said and headed in the direction of the Interrogation Rooms. Piett watched the group leave. Things were about to get very interesting around here.
