Summary: Hughes comes over to ask Roy to be backup. Sandwiches are eaten.
IC!Hughes: ::knocks on Roy's door and peers through the window, even though he's pretty sure he's home::
IC!Roy: *opens the door, sandwhich in hand; blinks* Hey, Maes. *grins* Come on in.
IC!Hughes: ::smiles:: How's it going, Roy? ::steps inside::
IC!Roy: Rather well. It's been a little louder lately, but I couldn't expect anything resembling quiet to last.
IC!Hughes: No, it never does.
IC!Roy: But I'll never give up hope! *raises sandwhich to the ceiling*
IC!Roy: So do what do I owe the pleasure of your company? *still being dramatic*
IC!Hughes: ::watches random crumbs drop to the floor:: I wouldn't expect you to. ::smirks::
IC!Roy: *sticks his tongue out*
IC!Hughes: Planning. A quest, if you're bent on playing dramatic the entire time.
IC!Roy: *raises eyebrow* Oh?
IC!Hughes: I just want backup for this interrogation...
IC!Hughes: He showed up at my house last night... I don't think I trust his word enough to go it alone.
IC!Roy: When do you want me and where are you olding the interrogation?
IC!Hughes: ::sigh:: Tomorrow. At headquarters, thankfully.
IC!Hughes: So you don't have to sneak around.
IC!Roy: Good. At least we're familiar with HQ.
IC!Hughes: ::nods:: I don't know if he's just pretending to let us play by our rules, or if he actually had this kind of good-guy complex over Ed.
IC!Roy: Let's hope it's the latter. It would make things easier for everyone in the long run.
IC!Hughes: It's certainly what I'm hoping. For Ed and myself.
IC!Roy: I'm more worried about you.
IC!Hughes: ... So am I.
IC!Hughes: Right now, at least.
IC!Hughes: ::sigh::
IC!Roy: Ah, good. Now is not the time for you to be altruistic. *pats his shoulder with the sandwhich-free hand*
IC!Hughes: ::sighs again:: Right.
IC!Hughes: I hate that I was able to say that so bluntly, though.
IC!Roy: Don't. Why should't you value your own life? Especially during a situation as touchy as this.
IC!Hughes: I know better than to be that selfless. But the point of this is still for Ed... to get his name cleared.
IC!Roy: Then I really doubt he's in any danger so you shouldn't devote any of theat stubborn head of yours to fretting about it.
IC!Hughes: ... I know.
IC!Hughes: I think I just let him get to me too much last night.
IC!Roy: Obviously.
IC!Roy: Wnat a sandwhich?
IC!Hughes: What kind?
IC!Roy: Turkey.
IC!Hughes: Sure, might as well.
IC!Hughes: I'm heading back to the office before I go home in order to finish getting everything ready for tomorrow anyway, I don't know how long that'll take m.e
IC!Roy: You're definitely having a sandwhich. *goes to the kitchen*
IC!Hughes: ::follows, leans against the counter::
IC!Roy: *slaps together a mean turkey sandwhich* After this is over with you need to take it easy for a while. At least delegate more of your caseload.
IC!Hughes: If I could talk them into giving me two months off, I'd take it.
IC!Hughes: If it wasn't for what we still need to do, I'm not sure I'd be unhappy if they found out everything I did with this case and fired me.
IC!Roy: *hands him the sandwhich* You'd get bored. And then come whining to me. ...and then I'd be on trial for homicide.
IC!Hughes: ::takes the sandwich and takes a few bites:: I would, but I wouldn't have to worry about getting this overinvolved in something again. It hasn't helped one bit, in the long run.
IC!Hughes: And suppose there's another case like this? I can't put myself through something like this again.
IC!Roy: The odds of something this twisted coming up again aren't too likely. If they do, I won't think any less of you for doing whatever you can to get yourself committed.
IC!Hughes: I don't want to think of it ending that way. ::sigh:: But you're right. And I shouldn't be talking to you about something like this... ::eats more of the sandwich::
IC!Roy: Why not? *gets back to his own sandwich*
IC!Hughes: Because...
IC!Hughes: I'm sure you've had enough of me complaining about my own shortcomings.
IC!Roy: Maes, you put up with me when I wasn't at my best. Let me return the favor.
IC!Hughes: It wasn't a favour I wanted to have to collect on.
IC!Roy: Of course not, but here it is. And it's not a favor. *adamant shaking of the sandwich*
IC!Hughes: ::watches more crumbs::
IC!Roy: .... *munch munch*
IC!Hughes: ::takes a few more bites of his sandwich, trying to distract himself::
IC!Roy: Want anything to drink?
IC!Hughes: No thanks.
IC!Hughes: I should just get going... ::finishes the last of his sandwich::
IC!Hughes: And tomorrow... the more I think about it, the more I realize you shouldn't be there. If he sees you... Well, I promised him I wouldn't pull any tricks, and you might look like one...
IC!Roy: .... Maes.. I'll be in the building anyways. Do you want to take anything with you for later?
IC!Hughes: I know. That's all the closer you need to be.
IC!Hughes: No thanks. I'll be fine.
IC!Hughes: ::smiles a bit::
IC!Roy: Are you sure? *not liking the turn this has taken*
IC!Hughes: I'm sure.
IC!Roy: *Maes is an idiot*
IC!Hughes: Thanks, Roy. ::dusts the crumbs off of his hands and turns to go:: I'll see you tomorrow.
IC!Roy: *nods* Tomorrow.
IC!Hughes: After the interrogation.
IC!Roy: *sighs* If you insist.
IC!Hughes: I do.
IC!Roy: As soon as I even get the breath of a hint that there's either trouble or it's over expect me there.
IC!Hughes: That's fine.
IC!Roy: *guess that'll have to do then* Alright. *nod* Don't exhaust yourself tonight.
IC!Hughes: ::smirks:: Some of us actually organize our case notes, Roy. I won't take me that long.
IC!Roy: *rolls his eyes* Only if you don't fret yourself into knots.
IC!Hughes: I'll manage.
IC!Roy: You better. Now out. *points to the door*
IC!Hughes: ::smiles:: Good bye, Roy. ::waves, heads out the door::
IC!Roy: See you later, Maes. *waves, grinning*
IC!Hughes: ::closes the door behind himself and lingers just outside for a moment before heading back down to the road::
IC!Roy: .... *goes to take a couple of asprin so he doesn't worry himself a headache*
