The dead cannot cry out for justice;

Who: Celes Chere ([personal profile] runebladeknight) and Jake Marshall ([personal profile] cowboycop)
When: February 28, evening
Where: SPPD station
Summary: Late night at the office. A cop's work is never done, after all.
Warnings: Cliched cowboy-speak? Seriously, shouldn't be anything. Will update if necessary.



It wasn't as though Celes had much of a life outside of work anyway, so staying late shouldn't have been as much of an annoyance as she was finding it to be.

As a general, she'd had the authority to delegate the more mundane of bureaucratic details to her junior officers, but she held no such rank with the police here. Thus she was stuck with menial reports to fill out.

To say nothing of having to review her own testimony for the upcoming trial of Szayel Apporro Grantz. That was eating up her time, as well.

She poured herself a mug of coffee. It was a discovery of hers in this place. Wonderful drink, really. Even if the stuff brewed at the station house was hardly the best.

Speaking of something mediocre at best, she furrowed her brow at the twangy music issuing forth from the radio. A glance over her shoulder confirmed her suspicion of who was playing that.

"Does that really need to be so loud, Marshall?"

She wasn't trying to be rude, really. But that music was starting to get tiresome.

He gently accepted the creamer back once Celes was finished with it, placing it back in the drawer it came from for now. If he decided on getting a cup of coffee, or if she wanted more he could always fetch it out again. "Ain't no trouble, just some secret weapon of mine. But don't tell my roommate I said that, he may disown me as his best friend for ruinin' it with creamer.

Slowly, he returned to his work, thinking about what he was going to do now, when suddenly Celes spoke up again. Ah, office talk. Thank god, a nice distraction from this annoying chore of a "job requirement". He dropped his pen down again, a little bit of a smile creeping up onto his face as he turned around in his swivel chair, placing his hands behind his head and leaning back. "Certainly wouldn't hurt, naw, hell I'd be a lot happier lettin' one of the young'uns do this sorta thing while I hunt out more cases. But that's the problem - noody's close enough to the crime scene 'cept the detectives on it. Reckon that's the only reason why we do the paperwork 'stead of someone who's just barely outta their diapers."
