[ With the perimeter secured, locals appropriately bribed, and Hawke's team all (presumably) doing as ordered, Garrett's job is drum-tight until they relocate or Rafe is called back to civilization. Likewise Rafe is done for the day— Oh, there's busywork he could poke at but nothing that demands attention in spite of the "protests" he'd leveled. If Hawke weren't so prone to hilarious puppy eyes, Rafe might be inclined to throw him a few more bones now and again but it's much better theater to watch him whine.
Case in point. His stomach tightens at that snap but past that he just stares with that smirk still on his face, placid as if he were sitting conference rather than with his dick out in the open air. ]
