Just a short chapter to get started.

The Pain of Paperwork.

Chris Larabee waited to go into his meeting with Assistant Director(AD) Judge(Retired) Orrin Travis, he wondered why he had been called in, he was sure that Team 7 had not done anything to incur the AD's wrath, in fact their last case had been relatively easy, with no one on Team 7 being injured and all the bad guys going to jail relatively unscathed.

"The Director will see you now." Margret informed the waiting team leader.

"Thanks." Chris confidently walked into Orrin's office.

Margret sighed as the lean blond passed, if only she were twenty years younger she thought.

"Take a seat Chris." Orrin surveyed the younger man, who was waiting for him to speak.

"Chris, I have been tasked with straightening out the debacle that is the Boston office." Travis declared.

"So it's true then." Chris had seen the news and heard the rumours regarding the alleged corruption running rife in the offices of the ATF in Massachusetts.

"The AD in Boston is about to be charged with corruption as well as a number of other agents throughout the whole state." Travis had dismayed over the actions of his counterpart in Boston. "A number of other agents will be disciplined, retired or dismissed due to what's happened."

"So how long will you be gone and who will be taken over the Denver office?" Chris hoped that who ever took over was as honourable as the man in front of him.

Travis smiled to himself as he realised the younger man had no idea of the offer he was about to make him.

"You are Chris that is if you accept." Travis smirked at the look of shock showing on the normally unflappable team leader's face.
