I own nothing except a few characters and the plot.

TROOPS: NEW YORK

CHASING A MADMAN

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK


"What are you people doing to our cars?" A man ran out of the Iranian Embassy as Michael, Tevin, Richie, and Ryan Pratchard looked over several cars.

"City claims you have over $20,000 in unpaid parking tickets and these cars are parked illegally again." Ryan said.

"You can not do this to us. We have spoken to the State Department. What is that device?" He shouted as Richie ran a device over the trunk of one car.

"Why was there explosives in the trunk of this one?" Richie asked.

"This one is evidence of terrorism." Michael said.

"Tow it to the evidence garage for processing. And until your country takes its threat back. The Empire will be having your cars towed each and every time they're parked illegally." Ryan said.

"We are having a meeting with the Imperial State Department today."

"I think I would have been told to be there. Seeing as it probably has something to do with me." Michael said.

"That meeting is happening right now actually." Tevin said as the man ran back into the Embassy. Michael gave him a head-slap.

"Thanks a lot, Felth. You are answering any phone calls related to this."

"Like they would do that? Khayman never called us in the field about things like this." Richie said getting the Death Stare from Michael.


Wanda sat in the meeting playing with a pencil. Things were not going well at all.

"Where are our citizens?" The Ambassador asked.

"Space in our detention center is at a premium. Certain high-profile detainees and those that pose a severe risk of flight are transferred to the fleet. Sometimes, the paperwork gets lost when transferring the custody of prisoners between our detention center, the city, or the fleet." Davin explained. An aide entered the room.

"Excuse me, the Embassy is on Line 2. Agent Myers has shown up there with some people and is towing cars out from in front of it." The aide said.

"Great. I'm trying to resolve this without military action and Michael Myers is off playing meter maid." Jimmy said.

"Somebody have Tevin's cell number?" Wanda asked. Davin began dialing a number on the speakerphone in the conference room.

"Hello to whoever is in the meeting about me that I wasn't invited to." Michael said, his voice full of sarcasm.

"Myers releaase those cars at once." Jimmy said.

"I'm impounding on behalf of the city. They owe thousands in unpaid and overdue parking tickets. We also found explosive residue in one of the trunks as part of our search of the vehicles incident to impounding them." The Ambassador and his aide got up and walked to the door.

"This meeting has been a ruse and the Empire has just made a powerful enemy." He said to Jimmy as he left. A squad of Stormtroopers were in the hallway.

"Arrest them." Jimmy said to the troopers.

"We have diplomatic immunity." The ambassador said as the Stormtroopers cuffed him.

"Not for threats of military action against a foreign nation and I think we can detain you for those unpaid parking tickets too." He turned back to the phone.

"Colonel Felth, Agent Myers. Enter that building by force as soon as sufficient force arrives and arrest everyone in it."

"Yes, Mr. President." Michael said and hung up.

"Prepare our forces for possible deployment." He said to Davin and Firmus.
"Is this the best option?" Firmus asked.

"Thanks to Michael Myers, this may be our only option now. Somebody needs to sit him down and explain a few things to him. We never had this problem with B.J." Kate said.

"B.J. would have never let the Armed Forces get away with making suspects disappear overnight and playing debt collector for the city." Jimmy said.

"Mr. Franks gave the Armed Forces a great deal of freedom to do as they wished. I heard it once took him 15 minutes to clear a building security checkpoint because he was carrying such a great deal of firearms on his person." Firmus told them.

Why do I have this feeling that one of my many jobs will be cleaning up after Myers?" Wanda asked.


IRANIAN EMBASSY

"Blast it open." Michael said to a pair of Stormtroopers. Tevin and Richie beamed while Ryan looked nervous.

"Did General Felth approve of this operation?" He asked as Richie head-slapped him.

"The Commander-in-Chief has issued a direct order to the Armed Forces."

"If you ever hit me like that again, I will have you court-martialed for striking a superior officer." Ryan said as blaster fire was heard in the background. There was little resistance to be had other then a few locked doors which were either blasted down or kicked down by Michael. A Stormtrooper signaled them over.

"Looks like a weapons supply." Tevin said.

"Felth, take plenty of pictures and make sure Rommel and the folks in Washington see them. Terrik, tear this place apart. I'm gonna go get Lavi up here." Michael told them as he went to his truck.

"Why do you have weapons in your Embassy?" Ryan asked the man attending to it.

"I am under no obligation to answer your questions." He said.

"Then we'll do it the hard way. Colonel Felth, have everyone arrested in this building transferred to the fleet for interrogation."

"What would the Ethics Committee think of you denying people their rights?" Richie asked.

"Technically, we're not on United States soil. Besides, Iran doesn't have Miranda and I don't have a trial to use anything in yet. Now, who has been listening at my closed office door as if I didn't already know Radar and or Walertin." Derik joined them about a half-hour later.

"I understand that weapons were found in there." He said to Richie.

"Yeah, followed by Myers throwing a Vader Fit and ordering this entire place torn apart." Michael walked up and bopped Richie on the head.

"Never, ever compare me to Darth Vader again. Lavi, interviews. I think these people are more afraid of Mossad then they are of American courts."

"Well sure, Mossad can do things to them that we in the US can not do to them." Derik walked into the building followed by Michael and Ryan.

"Pratchard, stay here." Michael said.

"You don't want me to observe?" Ryan asked.

"Mossad interrogation methods are top secret and I'm observing Lavi interrogating."

"I have an interview with a witness on another case in an hour. I was supposed to meet with Judge Soloman today about a defense motion too. I hope she didn't find me in contempt of court or grant a defense motion." Ryan left.


"Hey dude." Tyler shook Miguel awake.

"What?" Miguel asked.

"You want Max to glue you to your desk?"

"Except Myers locked up all the glue." Max said from his desk.

"That's what happens when you put glue on someone's keyboard." Joe walked in.

"Do you three have anything to do?" He asked.

"Yeah, blasting our way into a mosque as soon as Myers gives us the go ahead to do it." Max said.

"I claim ignorance when Ryan starts yelling at me. " Kelsey ran into the squadroom nearly knocking Joe over.

"Where's Michael? I have a hit on a terror watch list."

"Did you try his cell?" Joe asked.

"I don't know if his old number works still."

"Radar." Joe called as his Sergeant appeared at his side.

"Yes, Sir. Get Colonel Felth on his cell phone right away. I'm going."

"Get Colonel Felth on his cell phone." Kelsey looked at him.

"Long story. It would take a whole day to explain him and Klinger."

"You mean the guy wearing a dress? I met him already. Kelly Felth was about to rip heads off when he walked in there with evidence. Do you know where I can get a Caf-Pow around here? I never asked Michael where he got them from. Anyway, the hit works for the Embassy. He's one of their limo drivers and he was last seen outside the building where all of the Imperial State offices are located. He was still there last time I checked the cameras in that area." Kelsey said as Radar reappeared.

"Sir, Colonel Felth said that Agent Myers ordered the arrest of everyone in that Embassy and is having it searched room-by-room. They found weapons already." Joe attempted to make sense out of everything, but Miguel was quick to put the pieces together.

"Send three squads over to that building. Search and impound all of those diplomatic cars. Take those drivers into custody and have EOD there just in case we have car bombs. Somebody better tell the President that they were planning to pull a Pearl Harbor on us." He said to Radar who took off as Joe regained his senses.

"Max, Tyler. Go over there and secure the President. Miguel, we should have a feed from over there in MTAC. Kelsey, take a Caf-Pow, whatever a Caf-Pow is out of Petty Cash. Where are Kelly and Jessie?"

"Probably eating somewhere or shopping on a meal period." Max said as he grabbed his blaster out of his desk.


"Myers." Michael said as he answered his cellphone.

"I'm acting on orders from the Imperial Commander in Chief. I'm sure this is buried somewhere in the Patriot Act too. If it isn't, then forgive me for not having read the whole thing when I was a very overworked detective in the middle of Illinois. Goodbye, George." Michael ended the call and turned to a group of Stormtroopers.

"Find anything else?"

"Passports for multiple people with many different names for each person. We're bagging it all." Tevin ran out.

"Radar just called. Kelsey got a hit on one of the drivers that went over to the meeting with Rommel. Driver's connected to Ullman's cell."

"Get as many people over there as you can and clear a 10 block radius from that building."

"Miguel already went over Joe's head and did just that. He also ordered EOD to the scene. Max and Tyler are on their way over to secure the President. The Deputy Director wants to know why you hung up on him too." Tevin said.

"Until I get this thing switched over to a New York number, I'm trying to keep calls down to a minimum. Technically, I'm roaming right now and I should have this thing switched over to a new number by next week. I hope. I'll give the new number to everyone once I get it changed which is not happening anytime soon with these constant interruptions. What?" Michael shouted into his phone. Richie came over to them.

"Hang on Gibbs. Colonel Terrik just joined us."

"Troops completed a visual scan of the building and found nothing else. I'll get a scanning crew in here on the double along with EOD as soon as they're done at the other building." Richie said. Michael turned back to his phone.

"We think these dirty bombs were a ploy. I'm looking at suicide car bombings and one of them is near Imperial State Offices. I'll give you another Sitrep as soon as I have one for you and I'm hoping to have a new number sometime next week." Michael turned to Tevin.

"Felth, give me your phone or get me the 2-7."

"Who am I supposed to ask for? You want Doyle. On it, Boss." Tevin began looking for the number in his phone.

"Today, Felth." Michael said after hearing a series of beeps from Tevin's phone.

"I'm trying to find it. Do you know how many numbers I have on here? Friends, Family, the kids' doctors, Lucy's school, work numbers, it's quite a list. Here we are, the 2-7. I guess I should change Van Buren to Doyle." Michael snatched the phone from Tevin and pressed the call button.

"He must have taken the Gibbs course in being a Grumpy Federal Agent." Tevin said to Richie as Michael head-slapped him with his free hand.

"Doyle, I'm on Felth's phone. Get with the program. Anyway, I'm on East 73rd Street and I need the Bomb Squad here to sweep for explosives at the former Iranian Embassy before I have the Empire do a thorough room-by-room of the place. Imperial EOD is clearing the State Offices downtown. I think we have a suicide car bomber down there. Yeah, got it. I want a 10 block radius of that building cleared and they're near City Hall so that's your job anyway. Right, thanks Doyle." Michael handed the phone back to Tevin.

"You two, take all of this evidence back to the office and give it to Kelsey, then have the prisoners turned over to the fleet." Tevin and Richie left once all the evidence and prisoners were loaded into vans. Michael turned to Derik.

"Anybody in there afraid that Eli David may have something in store for them more then they are of facing American justice?"

"Once I said Mossad, they began shouting over each other for some sort of deal arrangement in the American Court System." Derik said. Michael grinned, he knew what Eli David was capable of doing in the name of National Security and he knew even Terrence Wynn would have chosen to stand trial an American court over having to run from Mossad agents after Eli David put out a kill order on him.
