» @langzisays plotted for a starter.
♚ ── It had been a very long week, and Miles was glad that the more hectic parts of it were over. There was, of course, paperwork that needed finishing, but he was willing to put that off and worry about it after the weekend was done with. Even though he had just returned to work after a month abroad, he felt as though he needed another vacation.
But the former Ambassador Alba had been convicted and was awaiting sentencing, Cohdopia was reunited into one country, the smuggling ring was in shambles, and an old enemy had finally been put away. He had managed to escape the celebration Gumshoe and Kay were putting on, and he was quite ready for some peace and quiet with a book, a glass of wine, and an affectionate Pess.
It was not to be, however. No sooner had he hung up his suit jacket and removed his cravat, when the intercom near the door buzzed to life. The doorman informed him that a certain Agent Lang had arrived to visit. Rather mystified, Miles told him to allow Lang within.
What was Lang doing here? He had come to Alba's trial to watch, which seemed odd for a man who hated prosecutors so much, and now he was coming to visit? Miles supposed they had built something of a rapport during that case, and it was only through Lang's cooperation that they were able to take Alba down at all. But visiting his apartment seemed a little...odd.
Well, he would find out soon enough, since Lang was on his way up.
