Trooper Station, Friday

[pocketpretzels]

The telephone was ringing nonstop with lizard related complaints, to the point where it was starting to give Watts a headache. The temptation to just unplug the damned thing was strong, but he did have a responsibility towards the safety of the townspeople, so plugged in it remained, and he continued to answer calls and send Troopers out to assist where necessary.

Some things were arranged before it was known that there'd be troubles on the island. Of course one could argue it would be safe to assume as a given that there'd be troubles on the island.

Regardless, it was a slightly haggard delivery man who showed up to drop off a bouquet for Watts.

The note on it read Happy one week until our anniversary, love. Yours, now and always - Steven

Steve jogged into the office to grab a tactical vest and concussive munitions. "Think flashbangs work on waist-high lizards?" he asked, sorting through the options.

"That depends," Watts said, after finishing what felt like the eleven millionth phone call about giant lizards stomping on someone's flowerbeds.

Steve was taking them anyway. "What would it depend on?"

It took Watts a moment to notice the new addition to his desk, but when he did, the headache brought on by the ringing phone was temporarily forgotten as he read the card- and the label with the name of the bouquet.

Smiling, he used his mobile telephone to snap a photograph of the bouquet. As well as one of himself leaning in next to it.

"What a flashbang is."

He could make an educated guess, given the name, of course, but he was curious now.

Steven smiled at the pictures. He texted back:

🍞 you too. Let us know if you need help getting home.

Very much not a question. Neither Steven nor Marc would brook any argument if Llewellyn's safety was on the line.

"...you've never looked at the ammunition we stock?" Steve asked, blinking.
