Trooper Station, Friday

[headkickpoet.livejournal.com]

Ray wasn't sleeping. Really.

He was just, uh, closing his eyes from time to time.

For protracted amounts of time.

It was totally working. Totally. "Turtles," he mumbled, curling into his chair. "Don't abuse the turtles, Fraser."

You know, Daisy was getting used to a lot of odd things around here. In fact, she'd never had much of a problem with odd things around here. But it was kind of hard to just brush off your sergeant talking about Mounties and turtles.

She felt she should say something, but she wasn't exactly sure what. She figured bringing over a cup of coffee for Kowalski might help, though. "You tell him, Sergeant," she offered, setting the mug down on his desk.

"Threw me out of a plane with turtles just ain't right--"

Ray snapped up and alert. "Day!"

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Yes, sir?" Daisy, too, snapped to attention, but mostly so that she could manage to keep a straight face.

"I, uh--"

Beat.

"Coffee. Right. Coffee's good, coffee's fine, how's your work, uh, Detective Constable?"

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Quiet and full of paperwork, as usual, sir," Daisy reported with a faint grin. "Just thought I'd bring you over a nice warm up on your mug, sir, it sounded a bit like you needed one."

[headkickpoet.livejournal.com]

"Eh, I always need coffee," he said. Well, at least she wasn't talking about the turtles or nothing. He reached for it. "No muggers?" he checked.

"No more than last week, sir," said Daisy. "And, if there were, well, they're being very sneaky about it and I'm not doing my job well enough. That does remind me, though. I'm thinking about asking Coop about patrols on roller skates; any thoughts yourself?"

[headkickpoet.livejournal.com]

"No, no patrols on roller skates," Ray said, off hand, wiping at his eyes. "No, uh, murders?"

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Oh, come on!" said Daisy. "Just for me. Help me keep up a little with the Troopers to make up for my regular old human DNA. I've got my own pair and everything. And, no. No murders. If there was a murder, do you think I'd be in here talking to you about roller skate patrols?"

[headkickpoet.livejournal.com]

"Probably not," Ray said, with a shrug of his shoulders. "No roller skates. You ain't 14 anymore, Day." Beat. "No jaywalking?"

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"I'm still running it by Cooper," warned Daisy, "and no jaywalking. The streets aren't even regulation for vehicles."

Pause.

"No against regulation vehicles on the streets, either, while we're at it."

Ray digested that.

"Okay then," he said, suddenly. "I'm goin' back to sleep."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"I'll wake you up if anyone gets their cat stuck up a tree, then?"

[headkickpoet.livejournal.com]

"Or if you put on those roller skates," Ray said, grinning. "Watch you slidin' down the station."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"I'm not too bad on a pair of skates," countered Daisy. "Probably not going to be making any coffee deliveries while on them without extreme mishap, but they're not so difficult."

[headkickpoet.livejournal.com]

"You really gonna patrol with the troopers on one?" Ray checked, "Hold on to their, uh, metal underpants."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"It's rhythm I've got none of, Sergeant," said Daisy. "Not balance."

[headkickpoet.livejournal.com]

"Well, there goes my afternoon," Ray said, leaning back in his seat.

Bored. Bored. So bored.

"I could always send a little extra paperwork your way," Daisy offered sweetly.

[headkickpoet.livejournal.com]

"No, I got plenty of paperwork," Ray retorted, "It ain't Paperwork Day, alright?"

Well, this was the Fandom PD. Every day was Paperwork Day.

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"...Every day is Paperwork Day, sir."

To be fair, Daisy really had tried her hardest not to say it, but it seemed to have been a force much bigger than she.

[headkickpoet.livejournal.com]

"Not for me," Ray said, settling back in for easy sleeps. Yep. "Paperwork Day is at the end of the month."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Then I'll make sure to send plenty your way then, sir."
