We all fall down

Carrie would remember the next few days as some of the best of her life. She was living with a man she was more comfortable with than she could have imagined, working together for a common goal. Even the visit with his kids went well. She gave him most of Saturday with just them, showing up at dinner time with pizza and cookies. They played board games and chased around her little house until it was time for him to take them back. Then it all went to hell.

They finally found evidence that Walker had met someone on one of his random seeming runs around the District. Before they could act on it, a series of small bombs took out three Metro buses as they approached the city center. A half dozen people were killed, twice that were injured. Had it been one bomb, it would have been bad enough, but three in a concert was particularly frightening for the city. It also put CIA on high alert. The work they'd been doing before was nothing compared to the sudden anger and frustration everyone showed. Plenty of people looked at Brody, and Carrie, as though they'd done something wrong. Brody should have come forward sooner. Carrie shouldn't have trusted him so much. Maybe if they'd come up for air this wouldn't have happened.

Carrie though all that and more, although she never really blamed Brody. At least, not any more than she blamed any of them for missing it. They'd messed up, not gotten to the answer fast enough. For her, everything else fell away. The work was everything and she spent as many hours as she was allowed at work. She had to be shoehorned out of the building to go home and rest, but when she was there she didn't sleep. She only ate when someone put food in front of her. This was the Carrie Brody had never seen, that her family worried about, that Carrie held on a tight leash.

She paced her dining platform, looking at the notes and schedules she had posted to her wall, sure she was still missing something crucial. She had music playing, the kind of jazz that normally settled her, but it wasn't doing shit and she could feel her skin start to crawl, but she had to work, had to figure out where they'd gone wrong.

He tucked in close to her and let his eyes close. She was about to have deal with him sleeping on her, cause he was not ready to move at all.
posterboymarine: (Sly boy)

[personal profile] posterboymarine 2013-12-13 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
He finally did move, but it was only to settle better and drift a little deeper. It was the first sleep he'd gotten in days and he was determined to enjoy it.

With a groan, he finally forced himself awake. He opened his eyes to see her still with him and he smiled faintly. "I thought you'd be gone."
posterboymarine: (Desert)

[personal profile] posterboymarine 2013-12-13 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
He nodded and gave her a very tight, but very brief, hug. "I should follow. See what my test is."

He stole another kiss, then got dressed himself. After a final kiss, he left first, since he could walk out the front of the hotel.

On his way to the safe house, he stopped to restock his beer supply. He knew he was going to need it.
posterboymarine: (Concerned)

Brody sat in silence for a long time, considering this plan. He knew he was making some of the FBI agents beyond edgy. He didn't care. This wasn't on them. It was on him.

Finally, he nodded. "I'll need two days to prep it. I'll get pictures before I destroy."
posterboymarine: (Being strong)

[personal profile] posterboymarine 2013-12-14 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Brody glanced at Carrie, then back at Saul. "My being good with this had nothing to do with it. It's not like you can just send a replacement. And it's not like they'll let me just walk away, not now. If I try, my family is dead and you all know it. So, yeah, I'm good with it."
posterboymarine: (Swept away)

[personal profile] posterboymarine 2013-12-14 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Brody nodded. "I know you want to keep the card. But I need the info to prep this right. So I need a copy."
posterboymarine: (Threat?)

[personal profile] posterboymarine 2013-12-14 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Brody took the card from Atwell with a smile, then he turned to Carrie. "I need a laptop. Clean. Durable. And clearance to the Quantico Armory." He thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No. I'll get that through DIA. Fewer questions."

Brody stood and pocketed the card. Then he touched Carrie's arm on his way out the door. He knew he would need to go over everything again once he was equipped. But for now, he could call his DIA handler and do an initial scout of the bank.

His beer could wait a little while longer.

The call to his handler went as well as could be expected, but he got the clearance he would need. It was only through the possibility of nailing Walker for something big that Brody got what he needed. If this didn't pan out, he was going to end up in a cell in a very dark place.

When he arrived at the bank, it was bustling with pre-closing activity. He would have to come back and scout several more times before he made his play, but this was the perfect first run. He lingered back for a few moments, getting an overview. Then it was to the stand, where he filled out a deposit slip for nothing. In the morning, he would have to come back with something to cash, just to see the teller operations.

All told, he spent half an hour in the bank, then returned to his car. He was on the phone to Carrie right away. "I need a check written to me and drawn on the target bank. I can't get close to the tellers without it."
posterboymarine: (Really?)

[personal profile] posterboymarine 2013-12-14 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
The fact that Brody was, basically, planning a bank robbery was not lost on him and it was making him fairly uncomfortable. But he was also still a professional.

When Carrie turned up at his door for the second time in a day, he smiled and welcomed get in. "Please tell me you have something I need."
posterboymarine: (Drunk kiss)

[personal profile] posterboymarine 2013-12-14 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
He took the check, then invited her in. "How are things over there? They back to thinking I'm a terrorist? "
