A/N: I like the idea of the unit as "Merry band of rouges" with a certain touch of "the family ways" (Mafia-style) and somehow I think it fits season 9 so there you go.

No beta-ring has been doen on this either, so all mistakes are mine.

Enjoy.

He's not one for explaining himself, so his silence isn't surprising. But he carries his displeasure like a cloak and there is this strange woman in their office, pitching into the case. An explanation wouldn't be amiss. She gives him a pointed look and nod, which he knows better than to ignore, so he doesn't. It's barely sufficient, but they don't ask. Curiosity burns, but now isn't the time for her petty who, what, how. Later, she'll ask him in private. There'll be drinks and quietness and no escape. He'll rant, she'll soothe, just like it is supposed to be.
