This is a kidnapping, really, which is exactly what he told Geoffrey it would be. It's an alibi. Go out to get food. Happen to walk through this park at this point in time. Eddie won't be concerned about the plan unless Geoffrey isn't here on time, and, really, he better be here on the dot

Being kidnapped sounds terribly exciting, though he hopes it's brief. He worries about the asylum without him. Still, everyone needs some vacation time.

Hopefully Geoffrey doesn't expect chloroform or anything of the sort. Eddie simply... writes his way on over, at the right time, and will then continue to walk. If anyone nearby for the next few minutes really cared to read his trail, they might be able to decipher this particular part of the plan, but footprints vanish so quickly in a park, in the snow.

This is an odd sort of kidnapping, indeed.

There's a car there. Guess what color it is? Eddie hits the button on the key chain to unlock it. If Geoffrey doesn't get inside, maybe there'll be problems, huh?

He stops and looks around with an air of 'this just happens to be where I was going anyway'.

He smiles a moment, then clears his throat and looks completely confused...maybe frightened.
"Are...Are you threatening me?"

He does not have any qualms, evidently, about pulling back the hammer and pointing the gun at his friend's head.
"Darn skippy! Get in the car. We're going ~elsewhere~."

"W...Why are you doing this?"
He sticks to the victim script as he heads to the car, but refers more to 'why would you threaten me for real?

"Fun and games, superintendent."

He gulped down a lump in his throat and climbed into the car. Geoffrey knew better than to try to comfort himself with lies like 'the gun must be empty'. He knows Eddie goes all the way with his games. Surely he'll never hurt his friend, though... If worse comes to worst, he does have a cane with a tazer in it.

He smirks, and keeps the gun apparent as he hops into the car, himself. Then he hits the safety locks.
"Good man," he says, cheerfully, as the car's starting. "I'm betting you could use a little enforced downtime. How's your day going? Nice coat." And, they're off!

Geoffrey relaxes a bit when they get moving.
"Mmm. Today was alright. A lot of visitor passes for cops, a lot of paperwork. This is my ~very~ favorite coat. I'm glad you like it!"
He snuggles down into it. He's still nervous, but maybe if it's just he and Eddie like any other chat... That'd be ok.

Eddie drives carefully. First of all, getting pulled over, no matter what the odds, would be pretty ridiculous, at this point. Second of all, driving should be done carefully. That's why there's all these rules for it. It's a really boring game with deadly consequences for failure! Which... still doesn't make it any less boring. Which is why he flips on the radio, and turns it down low enough that they can keep talking.
"We'll make sure it doesn't get ruined, so don't worry about that. Though, wearing a fur coat like that around, it's any wonder you're not covered with red paint already." He smirks. "Always brave, hm?"
Reply
"I am always brave. I just don't see the point in not having nice things I want just because it makes someone else sad or something. If they ruin it, I'll see them arrested and beaten."
Geoffrey huffs. People are stupid. Fur is warm and fluffy and comfy. They're just jealous.

That makes him laugh. It's a remarkably good-natured laugh for going along with imagining PETA weirdos getting what for. See? Bad people do laugh at the plight of defenseless fur bearing mammals! "You work hard enough. You should have nice things. Oh, I want to show you what I got, but it's not at the warehouse."
