the clean up. | @truthfullyideal
It had been about an hour since Katherine had been picked up by Interpol’s on-call paramedics. She had been taken to an undisclosed location to where their hospital was situated. The detective himself had been there a few times-- an agent of his rank was bound to accumulate more than his fair share of injuries-- and now, he was about to drag another person with them. Someone he really, really wished he didn’t have to disturb.
The detective heaved a deep sigh, stopping in front of the house. He’d actually driven here, though he usually preferred Pokemon traveling methods, he needed to talk to Colress while he took him there. In the comfort of a car. Privately. Sliding from the driver’s side seat, he gently shut the door. No doubt the sound reverberated off of the house before him. It was quite possible the scientist had even heard it.
As he walked toward the steps that led to the metal door, his mind wandered to a common subject: how to phrase his words. He always did this when he delivered bad news; there was never an easy way to go about it, either. It was likely Colress would be able to tell something was wrong by the fact that Looker showed up at his house, late at night and by car, never mind the exhaustion present in Looker’s eyes. There was no sugarcoating it. The detective would just have to be honest.
He knocked on the steel door a few times, heaving another sigh. What he wouldn’t give to sling some whiskey down his throat...
