“You’re done for the day.” Chief Vick’s tone told them both not to argue, but Lassiter didn’t listen.
“Chief, there’s still…”
She raised an eyebrow at him and crossed her arms over her chest, “I’m not suggesting, detective, I’m ordering. You’re both going home. Now.”
Her daemon added in a snort to emphasize the order. Murphy ran a hand through her hair and looked underneath her desk. Aeron opened an eye and looked at her, “Best to do what your CO says.”
“Fine. You’re answering the phone if we get a call.”
“You’re really going home?” Lassiter asked, looking surprised when she started to put her files away.
“I’m not arguing with my CO,” she explained.
“You’re going to sleep when they guy is out there?”
“Who said anything about sleep?” She put on her jacket and then picked up her files, tucking them underneath her arm.
Choices: 01. “You coming with?” 02. “It’ll be more comfortable than this chair.” 03. “She just said we had to go home.”

“Dixie…” Lassiter sounded pained. She could see him struggling with this, as Dixie got farther away and the lynx dragged her farther under the car across from them

“A body?”
Of course that was the part that Lassiter hears. Murphy sighed and reached out for Aeron, pulling the tiger close to her side as if to protect him.
“Murphy… where’s the lynx?” Lassiter looked at her, then look at Aeron. “Murphy.”
“Aeron didn’t have a choice,” she said. “The lynx tried to kill Dixie. He was acting in defense of another life.”
“I had…”
“He was trying to protect me,” Dixie said, rubbing her head underneath Lassiter’s chin. “She was trying to protect us.”
Murphy was grateful that Dixie realized it. It meant somewhere, deep down, Lassiter realized it too. It wasn’t a terrifying as the realization that deep down in her soul she had wanted to kill the guy who shot at them. Daemons were useful, but also could reveal too much.
“I’m sorry,” Murphy said softly, looking away.
Choices: 01. “We’ll handle it.” 02. “I’ll call for backup.” 03. “Let’s just get inside.”
