Checking on the home team
Commander Fontaine, Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., made the rounds when the special ops team came back in. After their last disastrous outing, she wanted to make sure they were still in one cohesive piece. The reports had been favorable.

She hadn't met the newest member yet, though she knew the contents of his file. She'd been the one to have it sent to Sammy for consideration. Her little gun nut, and Walker and Dugan, could always use someone with the ability to build a better gun.

Sammy's report had been terse but informative. The others' a little more informative. Landon was next on her list.

	Sammy paused again to give him a considering look before her mouth curved into a slow smile. She bent her head over her plate. "You said last night I should see something about your work while I'm here. When?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, that. Yes, if you're up for it after breakfast, we can go out to Shreveport. There are some things I have that S.H.I.E.L.D. may be interested in." Tech says. "I would like to get them out of the proximity of the Michael Savoy's organization before they end up on the streets." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The next morning... sammyfury 2010-09-04 02:35 am UTC (link)
	She nodded. The name Savoy was familiar from Jake Landon's file. After the weeks of seeing Tech's work, her desire to see anything of his toys out of Savoy's grasp was a close second to her desire to have them in hers. "Will we need a transport? I can arrange to have one meet us there to collect it and have it sent to the helicarrier." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That would be a good idea. We'll need one for each warehouse." he says. "Especially for the teleporter. It's not finished, but I'd rather it not end up in the wrong hands before I get it finished." Tech says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The next morning... sammyfury 2010-09-04 02:57 am UTC (link)
	That prompted her to put down her fork and coffee cup. "Warehouses? How many are we talking about? Wait, I'll be right back. I need my phone." she got up and /ran/ for the the stairs. The long shirt that covered her to her thighs managed to show a little more skin as she took the stairs as quickly as she could go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tech watched as she ran out of the room, uncertain as to what prompted her to do so. The flash of skin he could see quickly wiped that wondering away as Tech wondered a bit about what might lurk a little further up that shirt...

"Pure thoughts, pure thoughts, pure thoughts..." Tech said to himself repeatedly like a mantra to ward away evil spirits.

Why did this woman have this effect on him?

	Sammy was back in a few minutes, already connecting to the directorate. She hadn't taken the time to dress, and if possible she looked more tousled by her mad dash. She was focused and in full work mode. "I need addresses, coordinates, whatever you have so we'll be met by transport trucks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"All right..." Tech says, unaware that Fury could actually have that done this fast. He provides the addresses of each building, all three in Shreveport.

"You'll want to tell your people not to try to enter without two things. The first is a a search warrant of some kind. The warehouses are owned by Savoy, and he will have his lawyers there in two seconds flat.

The second thing, or things, I will need to go down to the basement and get. They'll disable the security system so that no one is injured or killed trying to get in." Tech says.

"Oh...and tell them to bring a /huge/ truck to the third location. The prototype vehicle ideas are there." Tech says.

	Re: The next morning... sammyfury 2010-09-04 04:29 am UTC (link)
	Sammy relayed the information, holding the phone away from her ear at a squawk loud enough to be heard by Tech. "Question - are there patents on any of those items or ownership paperwork? Do you have /anything/ that could be construed as renting the space from Savoy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The next morning... thisismyweapon 2010-09-04 04:44 am UTC (link)
	"Sadly, no. I couldn't exactly patent some of the items I created as many of them are used to kill people in spectacularly violent fashions. I kept the items cataloged in my head." he says. "And my deal with him was pretty much the same as it is with you all; I make the stuff and they use it." Tech tells her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sammy blinked at him, thinking Fury-ously.

"Have the warehouses declared part of an internal terrorist cache and a sqaud of armed agents at each one to take possession of the contents. Any of Savoy's men tries to stop us, arrest them for aiding and abetting a terrorist cell."

She paused, listening. "What cell? /My/ cell. This equipment belongs to us. We have paperwork with the creator. I doubt Savoy put any of his deals in writing. Let his lawyers argue it in the UN court."

She turned and grinned at Tech. /We'll get it/ she mouthed.

Tech remained amazed at just how easily the law could be bent to serve the ends of whichever side one was working on. He'd watched Michael and Jacob work the law to avoid any number of RICO violations, nights in a prison cell and even file a lawsuit against the police for harassment and win.

He nods at Fury, continuing with his breakfast and watching her talk on the phone. He figured it was either of her parents, though he couldn't yet be sure which one.

Sammy was speaking to another department entirely. Her first call had been into the head office and then routed around to get what she needed.

Her smiled turned into a scowl. "Fine, but remember what I said. Anybody trying to access those buildings will get hurt. You need my specialist."

She listened for a moment longer and disconnected with a hard tap.

"When S.H.I.E.L.D. picked you and Jake up, what were you doing?"

Fury's question causes a hard knot to form in the pit of Tech's stomach. He remembers that night like it was last night; he remembers the sound bright lights, the sound of the vehicles as S.H.I.E.L.D. came down upon them as though they'd been watching and waiting for the pair of them to show up.

"We headed to Jake's house to get all of our exit gear. Money, passports, plane ticks, the works. We were going to leave town for awhile until a particularly bad situation blew over." Tech says stiffly.

"Why do you ask?" he asks in return.

"Because I was just ordered to back off and sit tight." She grabbed the mug and went to warm it up with more coffee. Suspicions were piling up. S.H.I.E.L.D. picked them up, and Tech was released into her custody. It had to be it, why she was given his file. His file read like a gun nut's wet dream and she'd jumped on it.

Hell, another few beers last night and she might've jumped him.

"Can you tell me exactly what those warehouses contain?"

Tech blinks at her, not comprehending for a moment. He knew that Michael had been having some issues with a cartel out of the Dominican Republic; Jake mentioned that there was trouble during Jason's visit. But if they were telling Fury to back off, that meant things were really bad.

Usually, Michael Savoy knew when to keep his down, but without Jake there to do a lot of the day-to-day operations, Savoy now had to get his hands dirty.

"I can, if you can specify what you're looking for. Are you looking for simple small and heavy-caliber firearms, military grade vehicles, or technological weapons that are more at home in war zones and espionage training than an urban setting?" he asks.

Oh lord...

Sammy sank down into her chair, her jaw dropping open in shock. She hadn't been serious about the terrorism charge, only that it would take time to legally work out and they'd be able to retrieve Tech's... armory?

"Inventory lists. Every. Single. Item. That you are responsible for creating and storing in those locations. AND any other locations that might have slipped your mind."

"Very well. I'm going to have to dig up one of my old laptops in order begin this catalog. Never put anything anywhere anyone could see it, mostly because anything can be hacked at anytime." Tech tells her, starting to work out some of the basics from his list.

This would likely take a very long time, along with some other locations.

"Well, some of my older creations are down in the basement, along with those key devices I talked about earlier." he says, eating a piece of now-cold bacon.

"I just hope no one wants to keep the hovercraft. I hadn't even tried it out yet." Tech laments.

He didn't say there were no other locations. That was the first thing her mind latched onto and tossed into the mix of information she was sorting while drinking more coffee. Breakfast was forgotten.

The head office suspected. Had to suspect. He had literally been put into her custody and she hadn't suspected who...what she was sitting on.

"Does anybody else," she said slowly, thinking ahead, "know that you have some items here in the basement?"

"Well, Gran knows there's stuff down there. It used to be my Papaw's workshop down there. He got me started with machines and such. Jake would know, just because I spent a lot of time down there." Tech says, trying to think of who else might know.

"Oh, and Alcee Hernon, my old buddy from school and Bill Colton, who lives across the cemetery." Tech tells her. "He...had to come in after me once when Gran got a little worried about me.

Yeah, those should be all the people that would know about it." he says.

	"No. Jake didn't like Jess knowing too much about his work, and Jess doesn't come over here much, especially now that she's expectin'." Tech says. "Although, she does have one of my guns that Jake gave her in case of emergencies." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Are these other places in Savoy's control, too?" She didn't look up as she made her notes. "I also want to know what 'bad situation' you both were fleeing, but that can wait until we're out of the house and have a little more privacy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tech pauses for a moment, noting how interested Fury has suddenly become in his work. She's almost become a different person right before his eyes. Or maybe she's always been this person and he's been fooling himself.

"No, not all of them. One of the warehouses is in Jake's name and Savoy doesn't know about it." Tech says, adjusting the number by one.

"Everything you need to know is in my file, Fury." he says.

	"Obviously not everything, or this wouldn't have come up to bite my ass, would it?" She looked up from what she was doing to fix him with a frank gaze. "Your file must have been censored before I read it. It comes down to the fact that I can't protect this team if I'm running on misinformation. I'm not losing anymore lives because I was unprepared."
