Ted Garret walked into the bullpen. He looked around at each of the remaining agents as they finished up paperwork from earlier in the week. He had to be smooth with this or there would be heck to pay.
"Okay, listen up. Finish you bookwork and go home. Tomorrow, we start tracking a drug dealer named Don Carlos. This will be low-grade surveillance and Intel only. DEA has requested your help so we are supplying it." He passed each agent a file with background information.
"Oh, I don't know. Baby-sitting a dealer with two first names hardly seems worthy of talents." This came from Myles over in the corner.
"Be that as it may, Leland, this team has the job. See you tomorrow." Garret started to leave the office. "Hudson, a minute?"
"Sure thing, boss."
Out in the hallway, the two men faced each other. "Manning and Thomas have been requested to work with another agency for twenty-four hours. They'll be back in two days time. Make adjustments accordingly in your surveillance rotations." Ted held up a hand as Jack tried to speak. "It was an emergency request and I sent the two agents who fit the need. They'll be back in two days."
"Okay." Jack nodded. Inter-agency loans were not unusual and Sue was gifted. If they needed her…at least Bobby was there to watch her back.
