Description

Director of the SIB; Mordecai Tavi


Image“Can’t think of a reason why you would ever want a desk job.”

“It’s not like I’m getting much of a choice, if it’s all the same.”

“CO pushing the matter?”

“Just like you would have, sir.”

Mordecai gave a shake of his head and a little laugh. “You haven’t called me sir for three years. Sudden change of heart now that you don’t need to?”

“You might say that.”

“What are you trying to get out of this?” The woman in front of him was only a scant five years younger than he was and was peering down at her own knees. Of course, he knew her a bit better than to think her shy – she was hiding the bruising on her face. “Really, I can’t just accept a transfer for the sake of it. You can go a lot further on the track you’re on now.”

“My Commanding Officer is recommending it, Mordecai.”

“You never used to listen to your Commanding Officer.”

“Years change a person.”

“Are you going to listen to me now?”

“Only if I’m a part of the SIB.” A feeble attempt at a joke now that things were driving into serious territory.

“Romanae, I can’t have you undermining my authority if you’re on one of my teams.”

“Like I said, years change a person, Mordecai,” Captain Retna had lifted her head by this point and levelled the man sitting opposite her with an easy expression. “Put me on probation and if I’m not doing a good enough job, I’ll leave the service entirely.”

“Ro... I don’t want you to leave. I’ve no doubt that you’ll be one of my strongest agents, but this isn’t a warzone. This is a city. You aren’t allowed to go on gut instinct as much as you were before, do you understand me? We gather evidence and retaliate only when it is necessary. Not when we need someone to die. We don’t work like that.”

“I understand.”

“Then you start next Monday. I want you in for medical exams and psych tests tomorrow morning at oh-seven-hundred, and I do not want you on the firing range for your firearm review until both of those tests have come back in a positive manner. Go get changed out of your fatigues, for any sake.”

“What, you don’t like being reminded of the good old warzone?”

“Not so much that, but you just came off a trans-ocean flight and no man or woman smells good after that. Out. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

With a formal salute unbecoming of the smile on the young woman’s face, Romanae bowed her way out of the room and left Mordecai Tavi, Director of the SIB approaching his one year anniversary of the post, to mull over his decision.

“I just know I’m going to regret this, one way or another,” the man muttered to himself before he too stood from his desk and left; he had a bed to get back to, and coming out to the SIB offices at 2 AM when he wasn’t even on shift was going to throw his sleeping schedule to shit.

So begins...

"It's Christmas," Iante added, nodding. "No one's going to be looking for criminals today!"

Upon their arrival, Sarah was the first to totter determinedly over to the three, and each was graced with a sloppy kiss on the cheek. "Hi, Iante! Merry Christmas! Romanae called Mordecai a 'bitch' and it was hilarious, you missed it! Hi, I'm Sarah! You must Michael; I've seen your file. You're so much prettier in person, isn't that nice? And you must be Min! Iante talked about you once, you're a very nice person, I'm told. Mordecai! Don't you dare eat that pizza! You know you're allergic to that topping. Eat the other one!"

And then Sarah was gone, stumbling over to chastise the head of the SIB.

Iante grinned, gesturing happily at Sarah. "So you met Mordecai's PA. She's awesome. Romanae thinks she's an idiot. Speaking of, Min, that's Romanae over there with Edan!" The pair were too busy arguing to realise that they were being spoken of. "And Tommy's playing cards with Doctor Grey - he's the pathologist here - and I don't know who that girl is, which means she's Tommy's date."

That said, Iante followed Sarah into the bullpen and took hold of Daniel's arm. "Are you still sulking?" the trainee enquired with a wry smile.

Benjamin answered. "Still sulking? Still refusing to be even remotely jolly! He won't put on his hat! Oh!" He turned to Michael and Min with a wide smile. "Hi, Michael! Here's a hat. And for you too, Ma'am." He held out two hats, one bright green and one bright yellow. "And this is Poppy, my girlfriend."

Poppy smiled, nodding her head in greeting. "Poppy doesn't talk," Iante supplied helpfully as he pulled a blue paper hat onto his head. "Danny, look at how cool these hats are!"

"Cool is the opposite of what those hats are."

"Danny's not old enough to drink," Iante informed Michael seriously.

"I am too!" Daniel replied loudly, pouting over a pair of folded arms.

"You're not acting like it," the Irishman teased, waving a bright pink hat at Daniel. The hat was consequently snatched and forced atop the younger man's head. Then he stalked away, no doubt to tattle to Edan. "All done!"

Poppy, meanwhile, was signing away to Benjamin, who was snickering behind a hand. "She says well done, Iante. And she also says that she likes your shoes, Ma'am," the young agent added to Min.

"Hi!" Crepa grinned from between Benjamin and Iante. "It's Christmas."

Iante raised an eyebrow at Michael - had he mentioned that Romanae had a twin? Or that they were identical? Or that Crepa was batshit crazy?

"No," Crepa agreed happily. "Iante, where is Dough?"

"At home... Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

"No. Little Ro told her not to talk to strangers, remember?"

"Sure," Iante agreed with a grin. "Crepa, this is Michael. Michael, this is Crepa."

"I don't like snakes," she stage-whispered, leaning forward with a look most serious. "They make a weird noise and they don't ever want to play. They only bite."

"Poppy says that she understands," Benjamin supplied for Min as the unspeaking woman gestured to her own high heels. "She says that her shoes are the same. Poppy works with silent and deaf kids, so they don't get a lot of opportunity for wearing party clothes. So, how do you know Iante?"

"Crepa! Crepa, you're missing the end of the story!"

"Awkward!" Benjamin crowed, thoroughly amused. He shared an amused smile with Poppy and then watched her hands carefully. "Poppy's saying that you know a nice guy when you see one. Aww, that's so sweet, Poppy. What're you holding in for? He already bought a Christmas present for you, there's nothing to be nice for!"

"They always bite," Crepa insisted, nodding her head. "And they never ask first, so it's never playing. If they asked first, it might be playing, but biting isn't good. Little Ro says biting is very, very bad..."

"Crepa! For fu-udging sake, James is reading a story to you!" Romanae's yell was heeded, and Crepa smiled disarmingly at Michael and petted Iante's arm before she hopped back to James. Romanae was still snarling away with Edan, who seemed thoroughly amused.

"So that's Crepa," Iante said slowly to Michael. "That's Romanae's twin sister. She's, um, a bit loose in the brain? James is the only one with any patience for her, and he's the one she likes most anyway. I think you know everyone, though! So that's good, right? Want something to eat? Maybe Sarah'll know where all the mistletoe is. Not that I'm hinting. At all."

James had to coax a stapler out of Crepa's hand, but otherwise Michael's comment was taken in good nature. Sarah, who was piling two paper plates carefully with various finger foods, turned to the pair as they approached the buffet. "Iante, you watch out for the two plates on the far left. Those are not Iante-Kind Foods. And if you see Mordecai eating pizza from the right-hand-side table, kill him for me, would you, love? Michael, I don't know your allergies and intolerances, so I'm just going to inform you that we have two, soon to be three, competent medical aides here should you start to choke to death. Enjoy!"

And then Sarah was off, delivering a plate to the Director and joining in with the conversation he was attempting with Edan and Romanae.

"Hey!" Tommy swung an arm around Benjamin's shoulder gaily (and if the probie agent glowed with happiness, well, shit happened), and gestured with a finger at Min. "I know you! Princess, right? Benji, let me tell you a story about the only girl I have ever seen throw a major tizz about Iante's gayness. It was quite hilarious." He paused to clear his throat. "This was way, way back when Iante had a Barbie doll for a fiancé and this lady here was much younger than she appears now. Not that I'm calling you old or anything, but y'know, not everyone can age as gracefully as I do. Anyway, this lady had a teeny-eeny-weeny crush on Iante, and I was lucky enough to be the one who did the big reveal. In hindsight, it was my best move. Even if there was a cup upturned."

Benjamin's smile went down the confused route - clearly, he hadn't quite processed what Min had said, but Tommy certainly had if the way he jumped away from Ben was any indication, and that was what had the youngest agent mildly disturbed. "Wait, what?"

"Dude! Not gay! Not even a little bit! Oh-Em-Gee, what is it with people and assuming I'm gay? I live with a gay guy? Gay! I put my arm on top of Ben so I have something to lean on? Gay! I look at a guy? Gay! Mary, come here a second, we need to talk about what exactly is going on. You're smart, right?"

Mary blinked, then grinned. "I'm a waitress at a university café!"

"Close enough - listen..."

Poppy, meanwhile, signed something to her confused boyfriend, who merely laughed. "We would make a cute couple, wouldn't we? Except he's abusive. Every time we have training exercises, he manages to punch me straight in the face. Even when we're not paired together!"

"Tommy was there for that, and Migel was there for that, and his brother was there for that. Min's mother turned up after that. It was embarrassing. I didn't know what to do! I mean, what if she hadn't even been, like, 'interested'? How was I supposed to know? Awkward, I tell you. Very awkward. D'you want some of these weird-looking chip things? Ew, is that cheese?"

Linus Trucidabunt hopped casually off of the train when it pulled into the far busier station just outside of Wing City' Eastern Gates.

He signalled for Carmen to stay close, ignoring the sound of the city beyond the great gate as he prepared the ultimate beeline escape.
