Greg and Kendall exit the lift.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1kJ3QAO69
"Remember, just a talk and nothing more." She looks up at him. "You don't want to risk getting the chief in more trouble."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDCPBuyPUj
"Yeah yeah yeah, I know." He rolls his eyes. "Go be useful. I'll catch up in a bit. I know what I'm doing."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAux5ONzoC
Kendall sighs, "Alright, Greg." She walks away towards the IT-department.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLIEG6pYdx
He watches her walk away for a moment before looking around for Simon. He doesn't see him around the offices so he goes down to the gym. Finally, he hears the pair of voices he was looking for. He dips silently into the locker room and hides just on the other side of the first row of lockers along the backside of the wall.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VJRZ8iAuS
The door opens with a slam moments later.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgTjuQHr8N
"Ow! Simon! Watch it, bro!"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCxSblfRt8
There is a chuckle. "What, Robster?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qo0FxVvvy
"You know what! That was my nose!"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcUlqmcFHL
"Agh, you're too sensitive."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69GLgYzbzs
Gregory sticks the end of his foot out in front of Simon and is rewarded as Simon stumbles over and nearly falls.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyZCNqpSh7
"Mmh, sorry, Simon, Robby, didn't see you there." He smirks.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5qEwACn9i
Simon looks up at him with narrowed eyes.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvshfHK4L8W
"I think I left my towel back at the machines..." Robby says, starting to back away.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJu7WdIV31
"Just wait right there, Robby." Greg nods at him before looking at Simon. "I'm only here to talk."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp68qZ4a5RM
Simon snorts and crosses his arms, smirking. "What? Does McIntosh have you on a short leash, fido?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5T0t2Ogzd
Gregory stands up straighter. "He might have talked me out of pummeling you, but what he doesn't know won't hurt him." He grins. "But if you'll just stand there, shut up, and bloody listen, I'll be civil."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9h2x48ir8
"Whatever." He rolls his eyes, still grinning.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqybf0MtmZ0
"That was a cowardly thing to do, to run whining to your uncle when Ian critiqued you. But I tell you, it won't happen again. Because, if I do find out you went whining back to him over something so stupid again, I'm going to wipe that bloody smirk off your face and shove it up your arse." He stands over him with a straight face that slowly turns into a menacing grin. "Then I'll wait. I'll wait until the doctors Dye have one super messy cadaver downstairs. You know, the ones with lots of blood and guts dripping everywhere. I'll grab you by that greasy mop you call hair and wash their floor with you.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDYZ7pfjao
The smirk and color drain from Simon's face. "You wouldn't."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa86eG1YdH7
"Do you know that for fact?" He raises a brow. "And you can feel free to tell your bloody uncle about me. The worst he could get me on is common assault at this point. It'd show how much of a chicken you really are and I'd be out before I have time to sit on the bench. And once out, the first thing I'll do is to come visit you."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLN2lPdTlr
He looks at Gregory in silence now.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eQnH9dOOP
"And want to know the real reason why I'm going so easy on you today?" He grins. "Because I've heard that Tushingham dame your uncle sent in is going to make your week a living hell, too. But if she doesn't, I will the moment she's gone." He grabs a handful of Simon's black hair and forces him to meet his gaze. "Do we understand each other, Inspector Greene?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEwD5s28pW
Simon only snorts, rolling his eyes again. "Like I'm scared of you." He then smirks.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbM3ZXfoEV
Gregory narrows his eyes as he releases his hair and wipes his hand on his trousers. "Maybe I'll bloody break your nose after all. Robby would gladly say he hit you in the face with his locker door, wouldn't you, Rob?" He glances over at the Indian.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrrC7FBseq
Robby looks at the floor and nods.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQr9RSImxn
"See? This one knows when to be quiet and follow directions."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6tumglxXT
Simon shakes his head. "Is that all, Harris? Are we done now?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnDEJKABdi
He presses his mouth into a thin line. "Yes, I am done, but don't you forget this chat." He says lowly.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG6hPvNVR7
"I promise I won't..." Robby mumbles off to the side.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREA1sjrjsa
Gregory sighs, almost appearing amused for a second. "Well maybe you can keep him out of trouble then." He gets the door handle and glances back at Simon. "Because this is your one and only warning, Simon. Chief McIntosh is your superior officer. You are to give him your utmost respect. I'm done with you being an insolent prat. Try me if you dare and you'll see I'm not kidding." He then leaves the room, slamming the door behind himself.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41zENChdwg

Meanwhile, Kendall walks into the IT department. She looks around the small group of geeks and finally spots Rufford in the corner with another guy. She walks over, watching as Rufford hands the other guy a stack of papers.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHnjYKZzLt
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuLYL81tvC
"Thanks again, Smith—Or, or am I to call you Rufford?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ437UTwUAHU
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV5XoDFFqS
"Whichever you want." Rufford smiles, sitting back in his chair. "And of course, anytime."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct6lQHR7P6
The unknown guy nods to him before he turns and tips his hat at Kendall. "Miss," he says as he passes her and leaves.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcvimPduB7
Kendall raises a brow as she drags over a stray chair. "Making new friends, Ruffy?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5qL416yxb
Rufford chuckles as he closes a browser window. "He's the new guy, just trying to make this easier on the poor boy."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj3gMFrOTt
"What was his accent anyway? Irish?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLe8tnFpf8
"Perhaps, or Scottish? Not my area of expertise."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUcfDvWYhH
"What department?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsHcE70FSd
Rufford looks thoughtful. "I think a basic officer right now. I think he said his name was Callum Frazier? I just gave him some basic information that might make his transition in easier."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6dz3PC9qy
Kendall nods and sits down. "So have you found anything for our case?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVefsZtEVk
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8yvTG7nUP
"Honestly, I haven't even looked yet. Today has just been barmy. It's like everyone and their cousin's computer has been having problems....stupid new updates." He mutters as he pulls up another window.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuElv9b8HC
"Oh! Then you won't mind if I do something really quick first?" Without waiting, she tilts the monitor towards herself and inserts a flash-drive into the hard drive.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUorjlgL8oo
"What are you doing?" He frowns slightly.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8fVkapPWt
She glances at him as she types in what looks like gibberish in a small text box. "Putting my back door back into the system. I have to redo it every time you update the system."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7xu7jTGly
"So YOU'RE the virus that keeps showing up but I can't seem to exterminate." He exclaims.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmddRUFoxe9
"Shhh! It's not malicious, jeez. It's just so I can use these programs on my laptop at Greg's....completely harmless."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgBPZ7135w
"Completely lazy."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB89aC7Xbv
"You try finding time to swing by here when you're running around with Greg." She huffs. "And then having to deal with Simon nearly every time...trust me, it's not lazy."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkECdR7lQbZ
Rufford just shakes his head. "What are we going to do with you?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVliyhLdY90
"Say bad Kendall and then look the other way would be okay, I think." She finishes typing a code and ejects her flash-drive. "Okay, she's yours again."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7Nc3gXf2b
Rufford tilts the monitor back towards himself with a side glance at her. "One of these days you're going to get me fired."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTuNiq8N2f
"No, what you have up and running in the background is what might get you fired."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5DPa8hqh3
"I haven't the foggiest what you're talking about."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVUNQVsmUy
"Mmm hmmm. So you're not playing LOTRO at work?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKOZ0kBa9F
"Pffft, no."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChTh5GBYn2
"Liar." She sticks her tongue out at him. "But you better not be taking EtTuBearte into Moria without Regina and I."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gHfdPEeSc
Rufford looks dramatically offended. "I am a bear of my word! How dare you make such dastardly accusations?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6maG8wUOxR
"Ah hah! So you admit it!"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5gpO5n6Iy
"I admit nothing." He grins and pulls up a database. "Victims?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWGGiBqWwm
Kendall hands him her notes from the Dyes. "So far, those four. Looking for all the usual."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx5iFeWhgN
"Alright, you want the results while you're here or emailed?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1V4AIG8kG
"Would both be too much of a bother?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvjeEWN03T
"Not a bother at all."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iInFwDOo4
"Brill." She scoots the chair closer to see the screen. "So how is Regina doing anyhow?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgmiriRyLJ
Rufford blushes softly under his freckles. "She's wonderful as always."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAXhsXTMor
"You haven't asked her yet, have you?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVOk9n4yPI
"How did I know you were going to ask that?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHy7nlOmRW
"So I take that as a no?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RSm04T1FF
"I just...I don't know, Kenny....She'll probably laugh or say no..."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLwMN1TXRN
"No she won't! I've been your third wheel for what, three years now? She'll say yes. Trust me, she's waiting for you to."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOltwgwZ4H
He glances at her. "Maybe..."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYHupZ0sSy
"No maybes, just trust me on this one." She pats his shoulder. "You're a good chap. She's lucky to have someone like you."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Y73PjVRV
"If you say so," he sighs before turning his attention back to the screen. "Got your notes out and ready? Starting to get results."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dmDhsm2kI
"I do, but print a copy off for Gregory. He'll want to look them over in the cab later."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KP0nKUdAz
"Right, right...Say! Why haven't you tried getting him to play too? You know you want him there." He grins.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmGjpja5Li
Kendall frowns slightly. "He doesn't do computer stuff."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuXTxUcFip
"You and I both know he can if he wants to, and we both also know you can be very convincing."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHg2F0eOrR
"Yeah, but you know how competitive I am....And he'd be such a noob."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiuVeXJXXR
"So teach him how to play! Maybe he'll develop some feelings while slaying orcs with you." He winks.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyIVU5Yazf
Kendall snorts and softly smacks his shoulder with her notebook. "Oh shut up!"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFmDM9vcc9
Rufford laughs. "Okay, okay," he clears his throat. "Looks like Mr. Harrelson was recently widowed--widowered? You get the point." He scrolls down. "Ex-military... Wealthy background... Run for a local parliament member spot a few times, never was elected."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsnWI5Awon
"Anything else?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24tBgs8ZQ2
"Nah. Rest of this is just blah blah, boring, don't care, not helpful. Let's move on to Mr. Vance."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hKDSbODlh
"Gregory knew him."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCQJ4PMD0x
"Oh did he now? Fascinating...But then, with his drinking habits I can't say I'm too surprised. Vance was a heavy alcoholic and playboy want-to-be. Numerous restraining orders from many women...Woah! Dude was busted for a couple black-market dealings, too...Don't really see much else on him. What did Gregory say about him?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Obqq1Fbxt
"Just that he was a heavy drinker and gambler and his dad banned him from all their parties."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOlHExGlo3
"Mmh, he must have made some money then with his dealings if he was rich enough to even consider Harris parties."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg8ic11IYH
"Perhaps...Or struck it well in the casinos."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LVfEFUpBL
"Doubtful. Anyway, Ms. Laurel. She owns a small shop downtown. Recently divorced, has two kids. Nothing much more interesting than her hair and tattoos."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTVShinToB
"Her poor kids though...I mean, she was just found this morning." She bites her lip.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j1lasiF1J
Rufford glances at her and nods. "Probably will be going into their father's custody, so I wouldn't be too worried for them. Now, it's going to take a bit more effort to find anything on Mr. Moore with him being American...Hopefully the States will be cooperative and release any information they have to us soon."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gzp6cpV0r
"Brill. Can you let me know when you have those results, please?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3mEgpJ4Ee
"I'll email them right over and text you." Rufford prints off the documents and hands them to her. "Do you need a highlighter? Regina went a little barmy when I was restocking office supplies last weekend."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgDx3dNZk9
Kendall chuckles. "In that case, I'll take two."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7i8ooTyGK
Rufford nods and hands her two from the drawer. "Say hi to Greg for me."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAcopijaIc
"Will do, thank you." She nods, getting up from the chair. "And you, say hi to Regina and propose to her already! I'm still waiting to be a bridesmaid." She sticks her tongue out at him.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbhNnkgjS9
"We'll see." He sticks his tongue out back at her. "Now shoo! Or I will start exploring Moria on my own."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHJDeP6MVf
Kendall chuckles. "Later, Ruffy." She then takes her papers and highlighters and leaves the department in search of Greg.
