It was a dark and stormy night, a solid downpour expected the smell of the air, and the grimiest corners of the city were doing their best to live up to expectations. There'd been a string of murders that the police were baffled but tight lipped over, and one victim's family had been driven to hiring a PI to get any answers.

Valini Morse, aka the Shrink, stepped out of the taxi to walk over to both the scene and her partner, scanning the corded off area. "Huh. Reminds me of my last break-up. Clingy bastard." With a sigh, she stuck her hands in her coat's pockets and looked over Lena's shoulder. "Whatcha got so far?"

	While the handcuffing was happening, Lena stood by, gun ready to shoot once more. Though really, if the guy thought to get at Val now, he'd probably have one less functional arm in a moment. "Tow him back or call it in? Either way, drinks after because my god long night." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Apparently the killer was too stunned to move too much, or the fire did something to him because Val had little resistance while placing the handcuffs. Standing up with a satisfied sigh, she brushed her hair off her face. "Call it in. There are manly and brawny police that insist we are too delicate for this work and I am willing to agree with them while they drag this one back through the alleys. I will even feign a limp if need calls." She picked up her flash light and aimed the beam at the lump on the ground while she dialed with the other hand.

"The only downside of practical shoes is we can't use heels as the feigning limp excuse. Hardly a loss though." Lena kept the gun on their captive while Val made the call. "While we're waiting, I say after this is done we head back to the lab, break out the stash of drinkable alcohol until we need to crash on the old couch, that really needs new cushions, in the break room. Sound like a plan?"

	"Let's see if we can write it off as matronly and guilt them into helping," Val agreed. She went through the normal rounds of transfers and on holds, she grinned at Lena's suggestion. "I see your drinkable alcohol and raise you the good take out, delivered to our creepy lab door to eat with said alcohol." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Deal. And perhaps while we're off our faces, we might think of a better agency name. And as intense as it sounds, I'm vetoing Solvers of Uncommon Crimes with Kickass Science. Because the acronym will put us out of business." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh right, because that will be the best time to name ourselves, when we are incoherent and breaking all the laws of language." She laughed and shook her head. "Or get us the wrong kind of reputation." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No no, we start the process while sober, and continue throughout the drinking period. At some point we hit that peak of creativity drunk where we get actually good ideas before we descend into incoherence. Then the next morning we can laugh and cringe at it before burning the evidence," Lena grinned. "What's a drunken night without something even slightly laughable and cringe-inducing?"

	They did need to cut loose, didn't they? After all, they did just bag the scariest serial killer in months. She shook her head and steered them towards the car. "As long as any of our pickled genius doesn't go any where beyond our scummy lab's walls," she conceded. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's in my best interest to keep it that way," she smiled. "Oh good, looks like the cavalry has arrived and we can fake-limp off." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank God, I thought we'd have to drag him to booking ourselves and my arm's getting tired. I really want a drink now." "Gentlemen!" she announced in her best delicate voice and waved to catch their attention. "He's still out, so you don't have to be worried!" She wanted to rub it in, just a little, because she was merely human. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lena had to try to hold back laughter. Well...not like she tried very hard. "Careful, he's heavy. So we'll leave it to you," she said, before whispering to Val with great amusement. "...and leave the paperwork to you too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Amen to thaaat," she whispered and mock-ran away, grinning like a kid. "Come on, last one to car buys the handle of the night!" (Reply to this)(Parent)
