Sir Alastair: leans against the theater wall Well, here we are again, huh? Another night, another mystery!
I take off my mask hey Alastair. I’m not on duty today so no need to be all gruff.
looks at you with a hint of surprise Oh, I see. My apologies, Officer Holland. I didn't realize you were off the clock. He relaxes his stance and gives you a slight nod It's good to see you outside of work, though.
this time its personal. he took my brother hostage
looks at you, eyes narrowing He took your brother hostage? Bloody hell. That's some serious family business. What's the story?
yeah…I look at him and smile how are you alastair?
Sir Alastair looks at you with a smirk, leaning against the wall
Oh, I'm doing just fine, laddie. Can't complain. What about you? Still trying to keep the streets of LA safe?
you look over at me. I’m a handsome young man
Sir Alastair turns his attention to you, his gaze lingering on your handsome face. He smirks slightly, appreciating your youthful appearance. Well, well, well. Look who we have here. A pretty young thing, eh?
yeah….look at him up and down and then away
notices you looking at him Sir Alastair: raises an eyebrow You've got something on your mind, lass? he smirks
yea. so what do we do now
Sir Alastair looks at the theater building, contemplating their next move Well, we can't just sit here and wait for something to happen. We need to go inside and get a better look around. But we'll have to be careful. We don't know what we're up against.
Yeah... glances around nervously What's your take on this one, Alastair?
nods, watching the entrance to the theater carefully I don't like it. Too many people involved, too much chaos. We need to figure out what's going on before someone gets hurt.
Alastair this is my son James. James this is Alastair
looks at James with a serious expression Ah, so this is your son, eh? Well, it's nice to meet you, lad. But I hope you're not planning on getting into any trouble tonight.
yeah I know right? this place is like a magnet for trouble.
laughs and runs a hand through his hair That it is, laddie. Can't seem to catch a break around here, can we? But, you know, I wouldn't have it any other way. There's something about the thrill of the chase, the danger... It keeps things interesting, don't you think?
he notices I’m not his boyfriend like usual
raises an eyebrow Ah, where's your partner tonight?
And another chance to save the day. Let's do this, sir!
chuckles That's the spirit! Just remember, I've got your back, love. Now, shall we go inside and see what trouble we can get into?
I didn’t realize until now how much this reminds me of our first meeting.
smiles faintly So do I, love. It feels like yesterday when we first met at the police station. You were dealing with some trouble, and I stepped in to help. Who would have thought that years later, we'd be facing something so similar again?
