Looks like I have some interesting news for you two.

Oh?

Cameron asked me co head the police force with her. She wanted someone that's got experience in the field.

Do you think you're up for the job?

She can't run it on her own. She can't even shoot. Apparently Beckett suggested it.

If you need any help, you know I'll be there.

[He does have leadership skills.]

... thanks.

Do you think I can actually do this?

I think you can, Ken. And I know that if you need advice on anything that I'll be there for you.

No matter what, you'll do well.

Well, she'll be handling all the stuff with the public and paperwork and such, but I guess I'm the field commander.

You'll be better at this than you realize, Ken.

I know it's stupid, but I really don't have a lot of faith in my leadership. I've never been really good at it. That's always been you or Omi's thing.

You'll still have me around. Just think of me as an adviser if you need me.

What are you doing to do about your former position though? Is someone else taking it?

More like when.

I'm hoping I'll be able to keep up with both.

Alright. When.

Let me know if you can't. I'll help you find someone.

I thought about asking you.

Me? [Because someone forgot to think of himself.]

Duh. Of course you.

If you think that would be best. [Humble Aya is humble.]

I think you'd be great, Aya.

That's up to you.

For now, I'm going to see how it goes. It's going to be enough of a change not having Beckett in charge anymore.

I'm sure it will be but you do have the experience. That's what is needed now.

What?

I'm the new co-head of the police force.

You're... you're what?

Beckett left instructions and suggestions and that was one of them. Cameron's in charge and I'm her second.

Do you... did you want to be?

Cameron needs the help and I'm the senior here. She doesn't have field experience but I do.

I didn't ask about need, love. Do you want the job?

... I've never been much of a leader, Mara. It worries me, but I really do want to help.

Then... I think it's a good thing.

... you think so?

I think so? You want the job and you're good at what you do. I have faith you'll be good at that as well.

Thanks, sweetheart.

Are you going to have to be working more?

Probably. I'm still heading SA, too.

I... see. Don't work too hard, please?
