"Hey, Ms. Platt." Steve softly says, causing Trudy to turn around instead of looking at her computer.

"Boys? What's wrong? How did you all get here?" She asks softly.

"We called a cab." Mario answers.

The desk Sergeant finds all three of them carrying duffle bags and with suitcases at their feet.

"We..." Steve starts but looks down, heavily sighing, "I can't tell her." He confesses to his friends, looking at Dante and Mario with watering eyes.

Trudy begins putting the pieces together, understanding what's coming.

"We're needed back at the base. Not just us but all of the Marines who flew here with us. There's been a raid that happened near our base so they need all the help they can get. We're here to say bye." Dante explains.

"Let me call her down for you." Trudy says as she reaches for her desk phone.

"-then you just have to renew it every so often because the guidelines are almost constantly being updated."

They all hear Antonio's voice coming from the nearby hallway. When they turn to see him, they find the others walking with him.

"Hey, you've got company." Trudy tells Danielle, she and the men turn towards Platt.

"Guys?" Danielle softly asks as she makes her way to her waiting friends.

"Hey." Steve says in a cracked whisper as he desperately tries to keep his composure.

"Why are you crying?" She asks in concern.

Jay looks at their luggage before looking to the others who all have a clue as to what's happening.

"We got called back to work." Mario answers.

"It's okay. Do you all know more or less when you'll be coming back?" She asks softly, trying to keep a positive outlook on the situation.

She knew there was a possibility they'd get called back while visiting, but being that it hasn't even been a whole 24 hours, she didn't think they'd get called so soon.

"It's not okay. We don't know the next time we'll be able to see you." Steve sniffles, tears rolling down his face.

"Bro, keep it together." Dante whispers, not wanting to have this situation harder than it has to be for all four of them.

Danielle offers Steve a short hug, feeling his arms around her in no time before the two are letting go of each other. The men hear the gate door close, and when they turn, they find Voight quietly walking their way while watching the scene before him. With a certain look to Al, Hank's silent question is answered by a small nod.

"Let's go." Hank speaks, causing everyone to look at him.

"It's okay, sir, we have a cab waiting-"

"Let's go. The cab will be on me." Hank gently interrupts.

"You hold it down until I get back." He softly orders Antonio who nods once while the Marines say their goodbyes to the other men.

Hank begins walking towards the front doors of the station, spotting a yellow cab waiting across the street. When it's clear, he crosses, walking right up to the driver side window. The driver slowly lowers it, wondering if he isn't supposed to be parked where he currently is. Hank simply shows his badge, the metal shining in the sunlight.

"You're driving three Marines to the airport, right?" He asks, earning a hesitant nod from the driver.

"I'll be escorting your vehicle."
