As long as he doesn't mean actually collaring, yeah?, there's someone walking in the door who might benefit from knowledge of current events.

bass_line_blues June 3 2007, 05:21:41 UTC

"Russ."

Preston's standing as he sees him. To be extra sure of catching his attention.

rebelw_outclaws June 3 2007, 05:23:13 UTC

He gets the raised eyebrows.

"Yeah?"

bass_line_blues June 3 2007, 05:29:32 UTC

"Remember," Preston says, carefully, "you promised me backup to go bad-guy hunting?"

rebelw_outclaws June 3 2007, 05:36:34 UTC

Russ' attention focuses sharply on him.

"Yeah. You found something."

bass_line_blues June 3 2007, 05:40:25 UTC

Preston nods.

"Gwen recognized a scent."

(Preston is 75% sure that Gwen will be annoyed that Preston got to tell Russ first, but he will apologize to her later.)

"Not positive, but . . . fairly sure. Time to bring him in for questioning, at least."

rebelw_outclaws June 3 2007, 05:41:57 UTC

". . . You sound like a fucking cop, Preston."

He takes a drag on the cig. "Who is it?"

bass_line_blues June 3 2007, 06:00:16 UTC

It's Preston's private opinion that the city could use a cop or two. He doesn't express it.

Instead, he takes a breath, and then looks at his hands. Not at Russ, not confrontational.

"Before I tell you," he says, steadily - and it's harder than he had thought it would be; Russ is still a fucking alpha - "I - want to be sure you're not gonna take that as a license to kill. That's not how this should be done.

rebelw_outclaws June 3 2007, 06:07:55 UTC

Impatient -- "I'm not gonna kill anyone yet. Who is it?"

bass_line_blues June 3 2007, 06:16:44 UTC

"Good," Preston says. Still looking at his hands.

"We're not going to kill anyone until there's a trial."

The 'we' is not particularly emphasized, but it's there all the same. He tries to say it as if he's certain that that has been settled, then.

"Do you know a guy named Nick?"

rebelw_outclaws June 3 2007, 06:28:18 UTC

He snorts, softly, and takes another drag on the cig.

"The one Anna stabbed?"

bass_line_blues June 3 2007, 06:39:53 UTC

"Apparently. The one time I seem to have met the guy," Preston says, dryly, "it wasn't exactly conducive to introductions."

rebelw_outclaws June 4 2007, 19:04:43 UTC

"Hn." He nods. "Knew the son of a bitch smelled weird. You know where he is now?"

bass_line_blues June 5 2007, 03:46:08 UTC

Preston shakes his head.

"'s what the backup's for, man."

rebelw_outclaws June 5 2007, 05:44:28 UTC

"Heather 'n' me have the best noses in the Pack. You think we'll need more than that?"

bass_line_blues June 5 2007, 05:49:03 UTC

"Vamps," Preston says, succinctly.

(The laconic is contagious.)

"Not many, probably, but a couple."
