▸ Now for the weather, expect light showers from late morning to mid afternoon. Blackwell is expecting the storm to keep rolling through overnight, so drive safe!

▸ That's the News In today. Now back to your regularly scheduled tunes. This one goes out to the Gages, may you find peace in these difficult times.

THE RISING IS NOT IN EFFECT

It's not like you have to. [ she shrugs, giving the cigarette a little tap. it wouldn't be right, hell it might even get him fired, but if she were him it wouldn't really matter whether or not if she was on the case.. if anything, he has all the more freedom to do what he has to without any supervisors breathing down his neck about paperwork and protocol. ]

[eternalboy]

Wow, your first day here and already encouraging a revolution.

[ said like he was impressed or something. the rules were meant to be broken etc. ]

[bluecode]

[hums less than thoughtfully, that noise you make when you're technically part of a conversation without committing to it, watching the two of them distantly cigarette already more ash than tobacco]

Thank you. [when he blinks back to the present, waves what's left of the loaner at adrian gratefully before rounding them to get back to his car]

[overworn]

It's what anyone would do. [ there's a cracked smile on her lips as she glances back at ben. of course she'd encourage it, it wasn't her division anyway. if she were in his shoes, she wouldn't need anyone or any excuse to look into it. even though she wasn't him, it was tempting.

she turns back a moment to watch adam wander off, pausing to shuffle into another pocket and stick her cigarette in between her lips.]

Hey, wait up. [ she calls after, quickly scrawling down a phone number on the pad before depositing it into his hand. ] If you need help with anything.

[eternalboy]

[ rubs the corner of his eye. he'd rather not be facing this personal tragedy any longer than necessary. it's bad enough when he has to go see unknown families that have lost their kids and now it's someone from his work and everything. ]

Yeah, you have my number.

[ vaguely remembers leaving it somewhere. maybe. he's going back inside now. the lost girl was found but things aren't looking any more simple. later sluts. ]

[bluecode]

[shh he's going you don't have to cry your little cold dead heart about it any longer]

[lifts the paper at her in thanks after he pays ben's retreating self a glance. drops what's left of the cigarette and stubs it out with his heel, appraising her before apparently deciding whatever he had to say could wait]
.
Yeah. I'll keep in touch. [the offer isn't unappreciated, it won't go remiss to have someone with access to the ongoing case while he's in time out] You too. [belatedly adds, like he momentarily forgot how to conversate normally. he's not writing his number out though you can look it up.]

[overworn]

[ she gives adam a little nod of acknowledgement, stepping out of his way again so that he may leave, tailing after the disappearing ben who's already made it inside. ben seems to forget how much work they still have to do despite oliver's whining, it's still their case. ]

Get some rest. [ she calls over her shoulder, god knows he needs it ]
