Will Rogers World Airport – Tangent Lear
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
5:19pm, Late Spring, 2003

With Leonard’s assistance, Lorelai made her way back to the jet trailing the three man carrying the makeshift stretcher. The time ticked away as Lt. Stewart, Durant, and Ilianov carried Montoya back to the Lear jet. The men encountered some difficulty on the stair ramp, but managed to get him into the Lear with minimal jostling.

As they neared the plane, Durant looked around to see what other problems were awaiting him. "Donovan! I need you to work on Montoya, the kid is hit bad."

Donovan, upon seeing Montoya being carried up the ramp, quickly moved to his gear and removed him medical gear, his rifle forgotten in the corner. Donovan took charge of the area and started barking orders (and requests – based on rank). Soon, an area was cleared and materials were at had to work on Montoya. After checking Montoya’s pulse and examining the wounds, Donovan gave Durant a look that Durant never liked to see. It was a ‘I’ll try my best, but this one’s already on his walk to the gates’ kind of look.

Nevertheless, Donovan never gave up on anyone unless ordered to so he began his work, having both Rylee and Lucas assisting in his efforts where they could. Time again ticked away . . . at least for those not involved in trying to save Montoya’s life.

Meanwhile, Lt. Dyson, made sure that Grayson was alright, and made his goodbyes to Grayson. After clearing it with Durant, Dyson limped out of the jet and made his way to the sedan and to the family waiting for him.

The others had gotten on board and the jet had taxied away from the hangar. The team was together, finally.

Leonard stands a bit aside from those working on Montoya, and gladly talks with Andreev for a while. He doesn't really know what else to do for the time being. "Oh, that's quite alright. Things seemed to go wrong quite fast, which made it about time to act. Might not have been nesessary in hindsight, but it's better to get everyone in gear, and helping them find something to do."

Leonard takes a look around the cabin before continuing. "We seem to have a solid team that's not too big to become unwieldy. Just have to get used to one another, and figure out who all the others are. I'm thinking it won't be too long before everyone has found their place."

"Well, looks like the others are returning," she said to Jeremiah, offering him a smile. However, the smile quickly disappeared from her face wen she saw the state Montoya was in. Cursing under her breath, she moved to assist Donovan. She paused a moment to glance at the others, though, checking to make sure they were unhurt... except for Krizzel. She sincerely hoped someone had shot that blasted cat.

"Looks like eveything quieted down out there to."

Jeremiah sees them carrying another person back and gets out of the way.

He moves to allow people to get to Montoya easier. He looks around hoping to figure out who Durant is, so he can introduce himself and find out if he can get his stuff off the Tarmac.

"We seem to have a solid team that's not too big to become unwieldy. Just have to get used to one another, and figure out who all the others are. I'm thinking it won't be too long before everyone has found their place."

"A solid team, indeed," Andreev found himself agreeing with Leonard for the most part. It felt somewhat odd that these people were going to be his teammates for the indeterminable future. He had gotten used to thinking of most of them as other passengers, people to which he would soon be saying goodbye. But as Leonard pointed out, they would all find themselves working together. And it would also seem that some of them needed to get to know eachother a little better for a more comfortable working relationships.

Andreev was particularly unsettled by the young doctor Nguyen. She seemed as though she was brilliant in her fields of study, but putting herself at such risk mere moments ago did not seem like the actions of an intelligent individual. Still, she was young, and had never seen any kind of combat experience. Who was to blame her?

"Yes, Mr. Campbell, I think we have a most interesting group of individuals here. It would seem that most work well enough together already. Hopefully, getting to know eachother a little better will help create a competent team."

For a very long time after Donovan and the others began working on Montoya, Durant stood watch. There was nothing he could do at this point and he hated that. As the plane completed its taxi and began to accelerate for take off Durant made his way to the cockpit to go over the flight plan with Captain Samuels. Even then he did not say much, letting the Captain fill him in. The Captain was a professional and knew what to do, so after that Durant decided to look for Grayson and introduce himself.

As Donovan got to work he had a passing thought. "How have things gone so bad so fast?"
The help he was receiving from the others was making things go much easier.
Giving a quick look around he wondered what looked worse, Montoya or the expressions on his teammates faces.

"Yeah, let's hope that it does." Leonard looks a bit weary, or tired... He eyes those working on Montoya, and thinks about what more could have gone wrong with Lorelai acting as erratic as she did.

He shakes off the thought, and returns to the conversation. "It'll probably help if we know what it really is that we're supposed to do. It feels kind of awkward, being called into a group without nothing exactly what is expected of you. I can imagine that other feel the same, maybe even more so. I hope that our briefing will clear all of that up, and will allow everyone to contribute their best."

Leonard looks at the figure of Montoya again, drifting off once more. "Oh and please just call me Leonard, if you will." The tone of voice makes it both and offer and a request, but leave it open to Andreev to decide if he really wants to accept.

"Oh and please just call me Leonard, if you will."

Andreev looked to Leonard, and beamed. "Leonard it is, then."

After a few moments, a wave of fatigue passed over his body, completely overwhelming him. "Pardon me," he exused himself to Leonard and walked over to a seat and making himself comfortable. He had not gotten enough sleep the previous night, and today had been something of an adventure from the very start. It had begun to wear him down. He slowly scanned the passengers on the plane from his seat, and glanced once or twice at those working over Montoya. He hoped dearly that the kid would pull out of it okay.

His eyes came to rest on Reed, and smiling as he relaxed, he felt his eyelids getting heavier, and heavier...

Nellis Air Force Base
Las Vegas, Nevada
4:41am, Late Spring, 2003

Donovan barked orders to his two drafted assistants and worked through the Lear’s flight to Nellis AFB in Nevada. Some two hours after starting on Montoya, Donovan had gotten him to a point where he was at least stable – but that was all he was able to do with the materials and facilities at hand. In preparation for their arrival, Lt. Commander Durant (with Captain Samuels assistance), negotiated the use of the base medical facilities on their arrival. The flight was smooth to everyone but Lt. Donovan, who was certain the slightest lurch would have dire consequences for Sgt. Montoya.

The Tangent Communications Lear landed at Nellis AFB on a beautiful three point landing. On base housing facilities (separate from the barracks or on base housing for the officers and troops) were provided near the warehouse the group would become familiar with over the next several days. The facilities consisted of 12 bedrooms, a full kitchen, two work rooms with computer equipment, a conference room, an exercise room, and a family room / recreational area. These facilities were guarded on the outside by elite personnel who were responsible for the security not only of the people staying there but the entire base as well.

The two hours of providing assistance and working to stabilize Montoya exhausted both Rylee and Lucas, who were not accustomed to having someone’s life so delicately in their hands. After the gear and supplies were transferred off of the Lear, Captain Samuels made his goodbyes to the group, privately giving Commander Durant his number in case of some future emergency.

Donovan traveled with Montoya to the base medical facilities where he continued to operate on Montoya throughout the night. At 4:41am, Commander Durant was informed by a bleary-eyed Lt. Donovan, that the surgery was touch and go for a while, but that Montoya was expected to make a full recovery in the coming weeks.

Earlier that evening, Lt. Commander Durant had received de-briefing orders to meet with the base commander, a Major-General Martin Easton, at 0800. The orders required the attendance by Durant and only one other member of his team, Durant’s choice.
