She left me the combination to a safe.

[A very long pause]

I...haven't opened it yet.

You'll--I'll be by to look at her device in--soon.

[Voice]

[absinthe_eyed]

You should. ...Open it, I mean. It could be important.

I'm sorry.

Re: [Voice]

[cuffmeonce]

I know. [It makes it all more real if he opens her things]

There's nothing you could have done, Justin.

[Voice]

[absinthe_eyed]

The same goes for you.

Please let me know if I can do anything to help you or Alexis.

You're what?

Don't worry about me. I'll be safe. You've got enough to focus on. You must be so nervous. Just...if there's anything I can do, I'll be there.

Do you have menus for take out at the station?

[Private // Now Unhackable]

[absinthe_eyed]

Thank you, Shilo. I'll let you know.

One from every place that serves food in the City, I think.

Are you the only one in charge until Chief Beckett is found?

I'm delegating responsibilities to department heads... they're in charge of their divisions. All I have to do is coordinate the departments, field information and calls, ensure that everyone is following protocol, maintain communication with officers and encourage them to remain in contact with each other, and figure out how to make this public enough for people to stay safe without causing a panic or making it widely known that we're currently without a chief of police.

Which... is almost yes, I think.

[oh look. Zia found a network device. And figured out how to use it! How clever of her.]

Locks and walls won't help, you know. They'll huff and they'll puff and they'll blow your house down.

[voice]

[absinthe_eyed]

[Not. Helping. But Zia doesn't seem to know any better.]

They'll help. Criminals who choose victims at random tend to select easily accessible ones... a lock can do a lot to deter them.

[voice]

[oneformirth]

If they're like you, maybe. [There's just a weeee bit of condescension in her voice. You try not feeling a little superior sometimes when you helped create the world.] Locks can be veryvery tricky for some humans, but not all. And if it's not human...WELL! Who cares about a silly piece of metal in a silly piece of wood?

[voice]

[absinthe_eyed]

Most of the criminals in the City are human-like in most respects, including their inability to move through doors. Unless you can defend yourself, you should consider finding a door to stay behind.

I've been out trying to hunt down any information about where Beckett might've been taken. I haven't found anything yet, but if I do I'll contact you.

If there's anything I can do as far as protection, investigation, anything- let me know. I want to help.

Thank you, Sylar. If you could work with Carling and his team... he should know what specifically requires our attention.

You're still a probationary consultant, aren't you?

private//unhackable

[makes_you_tick]

Will do. And yes, I believe I am.

[absinthe_eyed]

You've been on probation for several months. I don't think it's necessary.
