[PRP] Another day at the Station [APD]

[Blade Kuroda]

It wasn't quite lunch time right now. Shun had opted to eat a little later, as well as to go out. Given everything that had happened as of late, he found himself being the subject of more than a few stares at the Police Department. There was no hard evidence right now, but their one witness certainly had caused a stir. He heard some of the murmurings. The speculation.

It was tiresome.

So out he went.

----

Approximately 15 minutes later, a man with a hood and a familiar black and gold jacket was lingering around the backside of the police department with a seemingly full backpack was spotted on the surveillance cameras.

[Any APD is free to jump in on this. Should be a fairly short thread.]

Jeremiah was not supposed to be at work. He was, in fact, meant to be on bed rest at home but no. Nope. He was coming in to see the paperwork that needed to be taken care of and check on the case.

He was leaning heavily on his cane, talking to Preacher and - for the moment - simply looked tired and bruised. Both things he was, obviously. There was little to be done with the cold shoulder that Shun was getting but it couldn't be helped. Especially since Shun seemed to have pulled back if the office talk was anything to go by.

Even if it wasn't him, it was someone else, one didn't just have your name attached to an attack on the Chief of Police (nearly killing him; would have killed him if he was not magic) without there being some work backlash.

For the moment, after talking with Preacher, he was heading to his office.

“You know, you’re going to get us in trouble with Alg if you come in to work instead of relaxing at home,” Fox said from her desk, eyeballing the man on his crutch. While it was nice to see him up and about, it was also a little disheartening to see him looking so…beat up. Then again, the atmosphere at the PD had been a little….off ever since Curtis and Simmons had spoken with the witness about what (or who) they had seen at the Apartment Complex.

She was also still waiting for someone to get back to her about a certain bullet that had been collected.

Go home Jer, ur not drunk.

Blade Kuroda

Would Fox have heard anything on that bullet she got from Jer?

 

[Blade Kuroda]

The bullet didn't have any real conclusive results. There was nothing in ballistics database that matched up with it. At least for now. Any rifles that were potentially used that are found later on could be used to try and match it.

"Hey uh... Kuroda's doing something weird out back," an officer remarked, approaching. She paused upon seeing Mercer, straightening up, "Oh! Chief Mercer... uh... you look... well?"

Not really. He looked rough.

Pausing as Fox spoke, Jeremiah snorted. "We've reached an accord. I am allowed momentary freedom to make sure things are taken care of and then I will actually-"

He stopped when the other officer interrupted, eyebrows raising. "Don't mince words, it isn't as if I can argue that I look as if I was hit by a bus." Or his husband's vehicle as it rolled, either way. Still his attention was on the other parts of what was said. A look was given to Fox, focus back on the other officer.

"What do you mean he's doing something weird? Elaborate." Where was Shun anyway? At least Jeremiah cut a certain figure with the cane and the accent with both his hands on it in front of him.

"Well as long as I'm not going to have to help your husband put you under house arrest and he's not going to give me an earful, we should be fine."

Fox looked from Jeremiah to the other officer, frowning slightly. "Did someone come across him or is this on our security system we're seeing this?" she added. If it was on camera, that was just going to be evidence against him.

Plus she liked to think if it was Kuroda he knew their system enough to stay off of it. Unless of course someone wanted him to be seen this much.

The officer straightened up at that.

"Apologies sir," she stated before looking to Fox, "Spotted him on our security cameras. He's wandering around the back with some bag. Looks like he's looking for something..."

She shifted in place, "I... I'm going to go check on him."

Jeremiah's expression was darkening, lips thinning to a frown. Shun was smarter than this, if he was doing weird things or at least he believed him to be so. After all, who better to know their way around a security and cameras here than an officer.

"Not without others with you, Officer." Jeremiah's shoulders rolled, glad that he had actually dressed the part of Chief of Police (which meant his holster was under his jacket). "Do you know if it was his motorcyle bag or was it something else?" If the officer knew at all. "Detective Kuroda does not usually park out back with his bike, though I am not aware that he's gotten cleared to start driving again."

Jeremiah tilted his head for Fox to come with him, moving to head towards the back and see just what was going on (and hoping that it was not Shun).

Preacher had gradated from huge mittens of bandages to lighter bandages with ace tape wrapped around the lot. It really affected her typing speed, but it meant she was back at work to ******** s**t up. And catch up on the insane backlog. Whoever had been covering her position hadn't known s**t about what they were doing.

She'd been unable to talk Mercer into going home, too, so she stayed up next to him like a shadow. Thusly, she was certainly going to tag the ******** along with porn Blisskiss and bad decision Mercer. Unless, she should watch the surveillance camera instead.

"Boss, ya want me on cam or wit ya? Whyfor is Shun doing..."

No one would be able to talk Jeremiah into going home, no one. Except Algie and he wasn't here. Everyone would have to deal with him but at least everyone knew that apparently both the Chief of Police and his admin gave no ******** about showing up to work looking somewhat wrecked.

"Preacher, I'd prefer - given what's been going on - that you are on cam. Get a good look at that security feed and verify that it's Detective Kuroda."

gonna sneak in and tag here but stay in tag order after blade, lol, just answering preacher

 

[demon_pachabel]

Fox frowned, shoulders squaring off when the officer said they were going to head off into the back. "Oh, absolutely not," she managed to get out before Jeremiah spoke up. Well apparently she wasn't the only one who felt that way. Not that the idea of going to follow up on a suspicious acting Shun was particularly exciting, but....

"Preacher, I'll bring Bento to your house if you make sure that feed stays recorded," she added. Sometimes evidence had a way of...disappearing. Fox was fairly certain a sweet kitty was a great bribe.

Still, it didn't take a second gesture to send Fox trailing after Jeremiah.

The officer shook her head, "I'm not sure. I don't think he's had that bag with him before, but that doesn't really say much."

She looked to Jeremiah and Fox and drew in a deep breath,

"We should probably hurry," she said before nodding to Preacher, trusting she'd know where to look for the feeds.

"Radio if you see anything, Preacher," Jeremiah added, not at all happy with this situation. There was an unease in his gut that had nothing at all to do with his ability to sense danger. It was a natural gut reaction.

With Fox and the other officer, making their way to the back of the department building was quick. Trying to figure out where Shun - or the Shun double - had gone to was another thing.

"Which direction did you see him going?" he asked, looking around from the doorway, not quite stepping out yet.

"You got it, chief." She grinned at Fox, too. A cat play date would be nice, so long as Bento and Mink could get along. She didn't really know what the ******** was going on with Kuroda, but she didn't need to know the details right now. She turned and briskly walked (as briskly as possible, given that she still had to wear a clunky medical boot) to the surveillance room.

Once there, she gestured for the remaining officer to shove over. "Show me where Kuroda was n' where he is now." Preacher set her radio on the table into front of the bank of screens.

Fox nodded to Preacher, then fell into line behind Jeremiah and the other officer as they started to the back of the building. That sinking feeling inside of her intensified as she walked. It was a familiar feeling, but she still didn't like where it had ended her the last time it had kicked in.

Maybe heading back with someone who had already been shot would help with her worry about freezing up again.
