The P.I.

Alec Cage. 27. Fired Police Detective. Hired Investigator for Cage Investigations. The asshole P.I. who wants some answers.

Elliotte, helmet still on, knocked on the door. The words ‘knock knock’ coming from under the visor as she did so. After his half-mumbles she let herself in and sat at the chair in front of his desk before removing her helmet. “You know, if you really didn’t want people to disturb you the first step would be to close and lock the door.” she said nodding towards it. “But don’t mind me. I am just here as a friendly face. Seeing what a P.I gets into in the middle of the night.”

Alec cocked an eyebrow at the familiar voice, a brief smile danced on his lips for a moment. A friendly face was pretty much what he needed right now, after a long day of chasing dead-ends and cold leads. “You’re probably right, but no one’s come by lately anyway.” He replied with a nod, then gesturing around him to his office. “Well, this is the beauty of it. Chasin’ cases, late nights, and lots of booze.” Alec continued. “What have you been up to, lately? How’s Mac?”

Caleb’s knuckles lingered hesitantly on the smooth wood of the door, his eyes scanning the room–caution penetrating his gaze. An undone tie hung loosely around his neck, white collared shirt unbuttoned and pulled open. “I um…” He began, taking a few steps into the office and slamming his fist into an open palm. “I need you to find my brother.”

Alec’s eyebrows raised in surprise, an actual.. legitimate case. While he was happy, he couldn’t stop himself from asking questions. “Look, kid, I’d like to help.” He said, rising from his seat to greet the man face-to-face. “This just.. seems more fit for Helltown’s police, and I was kinda’ fired from that job.” Alec cleared his throat. “Besides that, I’m going to need details. Addresses, phone numbers, etc.”

The sound of footsteps approaching his office was a surprise. The office was supposed to be closed, but Alec just couldn’t stop himself from working. It didn’t help that the front door was open, inviting anyone in. Keeping his occupied gaze on his laptop, he cleared his throat. “The office is s’posed to be closed, y’know.” Alec half-mumbled from behind the laptop screen. He looked up from the screen, “Oh well. Welcome to Cage Investigations, how can I help?”

A knock at the door caused Mac to let out a low growl - this was supposed to be his day off. Picking up his pizza box he opened his front door and answered: “This better be a Goddamned emergency.”

“What? A guy can’t just visit a friend in his bath robe anymore?” Alec replied, his tone dripping with that signature tone of his, which always seemed to be delivered with a hint of sarcasm. “Alright, alright. I’m out of booze. Oh, and leads. I figured that you would know a thing or two about this case I’m working on.”
