Entry tags:
it's like James Bond.
Who: Nick (detectivetroll), Ray (synonymouswithdookie)
Where: Somewhere in Locke City, moving to the police station
When: November 12th, afternoon
What: Arrests and interrogations and secret plots, oh my
Nick hadn't actually gone out today intending to do anything big about his undercover plot. He'd told Monroe and Yuji that he was going to take it slow - well, he'd tried to tell Yuji, but his partner's still pissed at him, and now Nick's starting to get angry at him back - but still, he is planning on taking it slow.
That involves nothing more than getting friendly with some of the cops with the strange dogs, at the moment, which is why Nick's chatting cheerfully with one of them on a coffee break.
Of course, the dog picks then to react to someone passing too close by it, an obvious signal that this is Someone of Interest, and someone who will likely be seeing the inside of the interrogation room. And, even worse, Nick recognizes the guy. This one isn't a false alarm.
The cop on the other end of the leash is looking forlornly at his cup of coffee, and Nick makes a split second decision.
"I got this," he says, flipping back his coat to put one hand on his handcuffs and make sure his badge is in plain view as he moves after the guy, calling, "Sir! I need you to stop right now, please."

At another time, he'd want to know, but not when he's arresting the guy.
"I don't know if he's the final boss. Maybe more of the 'stage one' boss. There's still the sheriff, and whoever's behind ThunderCorp. Maybe more. And - I'm going to do everything I can to be in there."

Ray grumbled some bullshit under his breath and went back to staring out the window. At least there was that. Nick seemed like a pretty cool guy.
"Do what you can, I guess. Is there anything I need to do? Anything super specific I need to know?"
no subject
A little late for that. Nick has to think about that for a moment, because he does want to prepare the guy as much as possible, he just... doesn't know exactly what to prepare him for.
"You can tell me your name, actually, since I should have asked you that before instead of explaining the situation and telling you my not-quite James Bond level plan. And whatever Detective Sherman is, it's not human. Just - keep that in mind, I guess."
no subject
Damn, Ray really wanted another cigarette. Shit like this didn't happen in real life. He shook his head and took a deep breath. No avoiding this mess now, so he might as well roll with it.
"Name, right. Sergeant Ray Zimmerman, retired army. Is it safe to assume Detective Slenderman is going to do a background check?"
no subject
"Probably, yeah. I'm... also going to guess that he's not going to let you call a lawyer, and that there won't be any record of the interrogation. I don't know exactly what he's going to ask you, so be prepared for anything."
no subject
Judging from what he'd already heard so far about the police, that was the only logical conclusion he could draw from this whole mess. The police wanted people like them gone, and once they found out Ray wasn't going to be cooperative, he figured they sure as hell wouldn't have any reason to keep him around.
He silently brainstormed for a few moments before adding, "I might be able to work with this. In the event that I am horribly murdered or something though, do me a favor and find someone to take care of my cat.
"And uh. I guess tell Yuji that he was absolutely right about me needing to be more careful and that I'm sorry for being an idiot and literally never paying attention to pretty much anything going on around me. And also his tattoo is really stupid but I didn't want to say anything mean about it."
Priorities. Ray has them.
no subject
He starts to say that sure, he'll get someone to look after his cat and pass on the message, but then he processes that fully and frowns.
"Wait, what? Why would you need me to tell that to Yuji?"
no subject
Ray was about to go on and on about how he's an amazing bullshitter and one time talked his way out of getting his ass beat by three drunk army grunts, but Nick's next question kind of caught him off guard.
"Oh, he didn't tell you? We're kind of dating."
no subject
Considering what they're about to get into. Or, well, what Nick's about to get Ray into, more accurately.
"...you're the guy he's dating? Shit, he's going to kill me."
no subject
"HAH! Wow, you're in deep shit, huh buddy? It's gonna suck to be you almost as much as it sucks to be me!"
