Trooper Station, Thursday

A day and eight showers later, Jake was still leaving glitter-trails everywhere he walked. It was getting on his nerves.

"Not a word, skipper," he said, wagging a finger at Ralph before proceeding directly to the coffee machine where he proceeded to poke at it until it dispensed the blessed caffienated liquid.

If anyone needed Jake, he'd be in his office, inhaling coffee like it was air.

[ooc: mostly for one who knows who he is, but open!]

Who is currently making it rain glitter around his office as he continues to attempt to scrub it out of his hair. And clothes. And everything.

If you've seen one police station you've seen them all, basically. Of course his dad's office wasn't as glittery as this one. "Um, hi?"

"If this is about the lawn gnomes, I've got my best... person... on it," Jake said, not glancing up from the report he was looking through.

"What's up with the lawn gnomes?" Well he had to ask.

"Someone's been going about leavin' them on people's lawns," Jake explained, rolling his eyes. "Can't figure out where they're to, though."

"Oh. Well I didn't come here about that, though that's interesting," he said. "I'm Stiles. Are you in charge?"

"So they tells me," Jake said, finally glancing up. "What are ye here for then, Stiles?"

"Uh, see, I'm a student at the school. A senior, and I'm about to graduate and go to school for criminology," he started. "And I was wondering if you guys needed an intern or something? I figure the experience would help."

On the one hand, gnomes aside, there wasn't exactly an overwhelming caseload or anything.

On the other... well, Jake was a Doyle through and through. Taking in teenagers was sort of what they did, and he missed Tinny. And yes, although he'd never in a million years admit it to his face, Des too. Stiles seemed like a good enough kid, for all the five minutes Jake had known him, and he wanted to learn, so.

"... Yeah, all right," Jake decided. "You want the job, it's yours."

"What, really?" Well that was easy. "Awesome, thanks! You won't have to watch me all the time, I swear. My dad's the sheriff of my hometown so I know my way around a police station."

Look, this was a guy who'd hired a kid (albeit with his father's insistence) that two seconds ago had been vandalizing his car. His hiring process was not that grueling.

"I should warn you that most days we're pretty slow," Jake felt compelled to add.

"That's totally fine," Stiles said. "I could use slow days, to be honest."

"How are you 'round a computer?" Jake asked, curious. Not that cases in Fandom warranted much (or any) electronic snooping, but. It was good to know where Stiles stood in respect to that skill set.

"Are you kidding? I spend half my life on the computer." It was probably best not to ask what he did on there in his free time.

Yeah, Jake was a detective. He could extrapolate. "No further details needed." A beat. "Name's Jake Doyle, by the way." That was good information for a new intern to know, after all.

"Nice to meet you," Stiles said. "So if I show up here tomorrow nobody's going to throw me out, right?"

"Nah," Jake said, making a note to let Tamsin know that Stiles was indeed supposed to be there. "Don't let Tamsin's size fool you though. She looks tiny, but my bet is she could kill ye without breaking a sweat. And then there's Ralph. He's- harmless." Probably the kindest way to describe Ralph.

"Most people could kill me without breaking a sweat," he said honestly. "But I'll keep that in mind."

"I'll make sure she knows you're cleared to be here," Jake assured him.

"Oh good. I'm not willing to die for an internship," Stiles joked. "Seriously though, thanks. My dad would thank you too. He'd much prefer me hanging out at your precinct than his."

i'll likely be on and off as I didn't get to sleep till 7am and am thus tired as heck!
