“I’ll drive the first few miles” Shane volunteered.

“Sure, wake me up when it’s my turn” Bette said and got inside the back seats.

“Not fair” Dana protested and Shane smiled.

“If you’re slow don’t complaint” The brunette winked at her friend.

“Are you gonna be an asshole the whole trip or is this an isolated incident?” Dana asked ironically moving her finger around in the air.

“Oh get in already…”

“I’m telling you this is not fair, why do we have to do it this way?” Dana protested a few hours later as they were reaching their final destination.

“Oh come on we always do it like this, let’s not spoil the magic shall we?” Shane said a bit irritated and Dana just frowned at her as she chose and got the mid-sized piece of straw out of Shane’s hand.

“All right, you get Ms. Piezceki… your turn Bette” Shane said showing the two remaining straws to her friend. Bette without paying any attention, not even looking away from the road for a second, picked a straw and it turned out to be the longer one.

“Damn it!” Shane said. “Ok ok… I’ll take Ms. Peabody and her partner and you Bette, you get Ms. Kennard” She completed sounding defeated.

“Ha! Finally some justice in the universe” Dana celebrated with a huge grin.

“Sometimes I swear you two are still in kindergarten” Bette said slightly smiling, still not focusing on anything other than the road ahead.

It was still very early in the morning when they arrived to the local FBI’s offices and were formally introduced to the already operational teams and as it turned out the girls knew most of the men and women there. FBI could seem like a huge agency but in reality the best ones of every department were known by everyone, especially Bette’s department and particularly her unit was known by many.

They were seen as the most militarized branch of the bureau and they were respected as such, it was still their job to investigate and ask the questions but they were also prepared to act if the situation required so. Bette’s and the other’s units were sent to do things that would take other departments centuries to do, not to mention the endless amounts of paper work and authorizations. They were prepared to do pretty much everything, from setting an operation to forensics work. Each of them spoke at least two other languages and had two majors, plus the military training that some of them had. All in all they were the royalty of the agency and the ones you call when you are in serious trouble, besides the Marines of course.
