"What? Why?" Ty deh security just like at the airports for X-ray and randoure out how to hide the weapons and other equipe, and we"ll have to be creative, since the bags will go with a valet So fork it all over"

Ty and Zane both grudgingly pulled out their service weapons, followed by their backups and any other weaponry they had hidden on them They placed each piece into the plastic box When Ty was done, he sht hed impatiently as he watched them Ty shook his head and watched with a hint of a hidden knives into the bucket

There was aknife was placed inside "Is that all?" Knight drawled, unimpressed

Zane rolled his eyes and crossed his ar out of the office; it was an odd quirk Ty hadn"t seen in any other civilian agents The skill and habit ca Zane had lucked into at the academy to make up for his lack of police or h he wouldn"t tell Zane that

"Well Now that we"ve established doht said with a roll of his eyes

"I feel naked now," Zane lanced at Zane and winked at him Zane hadn"t really had a chance to meet many of the support staff in the Baltimore office yet, and Ty probably wasn"t the best person to introduce hiarnered

"You look like you had a rough night," Knight co behind hi so of one shoulder

"Sure you were," Knight ht to a se Dan McCoy sat waiting for the thenize younod "Let me see the ared out of his jacket and rolled his sleeve up, turning his bicep toward McCoy His tattoo was no longer there It was odd looking down at his ar but skin

Knight turned to a rolling table eons kept their instru there He lifted a pair of sunglasses and turned to hand them to Zane He handed another to Ty They were unusually heavy as he hefted them in his palm

"Stylish," Ty commented drily

"Shut up They"re eht told Ty as he pointed to the upper left portion of the frah juice for about an hour of recording or three hours of trans it"

"Okay," Ty lasses over and frowned at theood these will be," Zane oals is to take pictures of the ht raise suspicion," McCoy told them Ty and Zane both nodded slowly

"And this is your docu device in both palhtly thicker "You kno to use one of these, right?" Knight asked Ty dubiously

"Push the button, scan the docu it as a club It"s not built for violence," Knight adued "And to be fair I"m pretty sure it was already--"

"Can it, Grady No ear to maim, understood?" McCoy interrupted

"Yes, sir," Ty said in a disgruntled voice Zane wasn"t even trying to stifle his quiet laughter

Knight continued "We tried to devise some way for the two of you to coh on such short notice You"ll be on your own as far as that goes"

"Cell phones?" Zane asked dubiously

"They"re not reliable at sea, even if the cruise line clai you any, and you can"t take your own

Zane didn"t look too happy either

"You"ll be reporting back to us by secure server, but the only access will be on the public tero by the codenames Punch and Judy"

"Punch and Judy," Zane repeated, voice devoid of emotion

"I amuse myself Get over it," McCoy shot back "The computers are public, so re the server"

Ty pointed at Zane "His job" Zane shrugged
