interlude

"Hey."

"Hey."

"Long night?"

"You know the answer to that."

"Just trying to make conversation."

"This is ridiculous and you know it. Just another wasted evening at the PCPD."

"Maybe."

"Dammit, don't be like that."

"Like what?"

"You're doing that thing you do."

"What thing?"

"This is me being unamused."

"Just trying to make conversation."

"Why?"

"Why not?"

"Not really the greatest time. I do have a job to do."

"It's good to see you."

"You're starting with the compliments now?"

"Haven't seen you in awhile."

"No. You haven't."

"So I'm saying its good to see you."

"We're talking in circles."

"We're barely talking at all."

"Yeah."

"I'll let you down there to see him."

"I never thought you wouldn't."

"I don't understand you."

"No one does."

"Particularly this. I don't understand this."

"No one does. And no one's asking you to."

"Is it wrong that I want to?"

"I think we both know the answer to that."

"I've thought about it."

"I know."

"That's all you can say? 'I know'?"

"I've thought about it too."

"You're pretty unforgettable."

"That's one I havent been told before."

"Just stating a fact."

"It was...what it was."

"It was random."

"It was."

"Are you with him?"

"With him? In many ways, yes. In others, not as much."

"You've been with him for years."

"Maybe."

"Saying thank you seems...trite."

"It was fun."

"It was random."

"It was."

"Alexis...."

"Mac...it was, what it was."

"Yeah."

"Ok."

"I'll get one of the guys to give you a chair."

"I appreciate it."

"Not a problem."

"Thanks."
