The air's still shitty, so I ain't gonna waste my breath talkin' just yet. The wind may be pickin' up, but that don't mean it's the end o' whatever's happenin, so keep yer mouths shut an' conserve yer oxygen as long as ya can

Prob'bly too late fer me to be findin' out now since the crime scene's long since been touched by anyone else. I'm willin' ta bet it ain't as obvious as people're thinkin' it is.

[aintpretty]

S'how it works, kiddo. They gotta have a suspect an' the closest thing they can find'll usually be their first pick.

S'gonna work out, don't worry yerself over it.

[This wasn't going to be pretty. But Logan was prepared for that - nothing he ever did was pretty, except of course, for the women. But now wasn't the time to think about that. There was the sinking feeling that Roxas had a good idea of what happened, and now it was time for damage control.

He heard the knock on the door, he lazily stood up. Nobody else ever knocked on his door, so without a second thought, he opened the door and waved Roxas on.]

Come on in, kiddo.

S'what I figured.

[He let out a small cough. He hadn't spoken much since the gas leak and it was still in the air. Logan grimaced, though more at Roxas' pale expression than anything else. He closed the door, leaning against it with his arms crossed.]

Sit down an' say what ya gotta say.

Hm.

[Logan let out a small grunt. He almost expect that Roxas would find out, but now things were going to be a little more complicated. The more people who knew, the more people had to lie - and with Phoenix poking his nose in things, it was going to be a problem.]

Listen, kiddo. I know ya wanna help 'im, but there ain't much ya can do. Ya couldn't provide an alibi fer 'im, since... just leave it ta me. I'll do what I gotta to keep 'im outta trouble.

Sometimes, ya gotta just sit an' wait. It's gonna be worse if yer reckless, more so if yer gettin' involved in things ya shouldn't. I've been doin' this fer a long time, kiddo. I'll do what I can do get 'em off his back, but yer gonna have to be patient.

[Not that patience was ever Logan's forte, but he bit his tongue on that fact. He pushed himself away from the door, walking over to the sofa and plopping down on the opposite side of Roxas. He leaned back, putting his feet up on the coffee table.]
