Teddy and Martin and a limited crew head to the airport for a quick in and out of Panama much to the chagrin of the Festival manager who damn near had a stroke upon notification that two of his headliners are hopping away for a one and done in South America. Teddy and Martin share smiles and the texts from their managers surrounding the run out of town. Martin teases Teddy about the Spyder Monkeys while Teddy admits it is more of a favor for her older sister than for Spyder Monkeys. With the truth shared, Martin is still all in, Teddy is family, and Teddy's sister is family by extension. Besides, he owes Teddy for the countless times she has bailed him out of a jam and literally posted bail.
Raffy is still a little dumbfounded by the whole situation but will simply roll with it. He knows that there is another layer to this since Alex and Teddy have not spoken since the holidays. He is curious to see how Teddy will handle the whole situation. She has Harvey in two and Eliot Spenser is likely going to be with Alex. Teddy has not uttered even a reference to Eliot Spenser in months. Granted that they have been on a nonstop whirlwind grinder of a tour but still, he knows the place that Eliot once occupied in Teddy's life. The added wrinkle is the presence of Harvey. Harvey may be Teddy's attorney but there has always been a friends with benefits vibe that Raffy has never been able to put his finger on and does not dare broach that subject with Teddy.
Hardison is thrilled that Teddy agreed to come, plus she brings Garrix, this is just epic. If this wasn't a job that needed to be done, he would so be in the front row of that show. Brianna is kind of impressed that Sophie, of all people, has EDM legends on speed dial. She almost wishes this was all real because it is a total social media coo that quite literally saved her ass when the stormtroopers questioned her about the Rave. Anna Sun's PR and Martin Garrix's PR went to town promoting the old-school rave. There are literally a thousand kids lined up outside by word of mouth alone. Sophie confirms and reconfirms with Hardison that they will control and contain the blast inside the vault. Sophie reminds him of the favor they just pulled and that there can be no chance of bad press for either of the DJs inflight. Hardison does all that he can to assure Sophie that all will go according to plan. Eliot is a bit pensive to see Teddy again, it has been several months. He had wanted to talk with her but the run of jobs has been seemingly endless as of late. He never got the chance to make contact which has been the story of his life.
Sophie arrives at the private airstrip in time to watch the jet land and taxi to her position on the tarmac. Once all are cleared by customs, they exit the jet to the waiting fleet of SUVs that Sophie has arranged. Sophie is a bit surprised that private security has accompanied Teddy and Martin, though Connie had explained the need several times. Sophie just finds it hard to believe all of the fuss that accompanies the DJ life. She finds it a bit astonishing. As they approach the venue, the need suddenly becomes crystal clear. There are a least a thousand kids lined up outside along with the press. Sophie is stunned. The open-mouthed gape directed towards Teddy is answered with a simple raised eyebrow. "Welcome to the vagabond life, dear sister."
Harvey takes in Teddy's sister, he knows her name is Alex but really does not question being introduced to Sophie. Harvey is all too familiar with Sophie Devereaux from life with Teddy. Teddy shared the story of the name and the persona a long time ago and chalks it up to sisters being sisters. Much like Donna and her friends trading off on being the acrobat.
Upon arrival Martin and Teddy check out the gear and prepare for the show by setting up their laptops. Teddy is impressed, Hardison knows her well, the gear is nearly perfect for her sets and she and Martin use similar setups. He even knew the brands of headphones for them. Brianna had taken care of a lighting set though the point of a Rave is the music and not the stage show but the stage show will definitely do. The whole scene reminds Teddy of her early days which Martin is enjoying busting on Teddy. Tijs was his mentor and between David, Tijs, and Anna Sun, they are practically his EDM parents. This is going to be fun.
He knows that they have a job to do but to boost her confidence in what they can accomplish, Hardison takes Brianna over to the soundcheck to meet Anna Sun, plus he wants to meet Martin Garrix. As they walk in the music is thumping through the speakers at a level that will more than mask what he and Eliot have to do. The price he paid for this set-up will pay out in spades. Anna does not disappoint.
After a brief starry-eyed moment, the team sets their plans into motion. Harvey could not help but notice that there is much more afoot than just a one-and-done gig for charity. He already checked and there is no such charity. He knows this is a play and his spidey senses have been engaged to do what he does and that is to protect Anna Sun. He knows Teddy is doing this simply because her sister asked for it but it fails the duck test, every duck test. He is quite glad that the jet is literally being refueled at this moment and as soon as the gig is done, they are airborne back to Vegas. Mentally, Harvey is taking notes, he can check this all out on the flight back, and that Harry Wilson... he is someone already known in Harvey's circles.
