Back and back and back and6 years agoThere's three different cop cars outside the building where Aleksy lives. By now, most of the officers driving them are inside the first-floor pizzeria, chowing down on whatever it is they bought; Aleksy is jittery to get back inside, he has work to finish, and he's not sure what's happening. Some kind of fight from down the hall, maybe. There's an ambulance, and someone on a stretcher, and someone is supposed to take his statement but there's nothing to say. He didn't hear anything. Didn't see anything. He aches and wants his bed. Laika sits near him, infinitely patient with the flashing lights, Aleksy's hand tight around her collar. Don't let them near me, he thinks, like she can hear, like she can understand. Let them forget.A familiar figure approaches through the crowd, and Aleksy turns his face away at the sight of Jeremiah Mercer. That is one of the last people he wants to see.

Back and back and back and6 years agoThis was a ********. Someone had gotten drunk and done more than beat on their wife. Jeremiah's expression was dark because of just how much the person had been hurt. There was not much to find out, all the other statements already taken except ... His eyes scanned looking for the last person that needed to be spoken too. He blinked as he approached, not quite sure that he was seeing who he thought he was seeing. "Spektor?" ... don't think for a moment he did not pronounce it right. There was something off about his posture, the way he was holding himself, and the dog was between him and the crowds.

Back and back and back and6 years ago"Spektora," says Aleksy through unmoving lips. "Spek- tor-ah." He hunches forward a little more, grip tightening on his own arm. He tries to keep his grip on Laika's collar gentle, so as not to hurt her; she's not his and he'll have to give her back someday. "I didn't hear anything," he says, "I didn't see anything. I don't know anything."

Back and back and back and 6 years agoJeremiah let out a sigh. It was deja vu. "Spek- tor-ah." The red-head was given a wry look. "I am a little rusty." The detective crouches down, fingers held out for Laika to sniff. It's clear the dog is keeping Aleksy separated. She's protecting him, shielding him. The way Aleksy is holding himself makes his heart ache. Not that he let's it show. "Nothing?" he asks, pulling out his notebook. "Got your ID on you? I'll take the information and your contact number."

Back and back and back and6 years agoAleksy pulls out a Russian passport. He flips it open to the photograph, holds it out. "I have my visa inside," he says, dully. "If you need it." He has a prepaid phone, and he gives that number too, as Laika sniffs at Jeremiah's hand and decides he has good smells, or something, ******** if Aleksy knows. Aleksy is a great deal thinner than in the passport photo, and also he's hacked off all the pretty dark-red hair. The smooth curve of his skull is pale in the flashing lights from the cop cars.

Back and back and back and6 years agoLaika gets one scratch on top of the head and that is it. Clearly a dog that is working and one that is doing a good job at that and thus needs a scratch. "This will do for now but you should keep your visa on you." Jeremiah gives him a look over, after seeing the picture in the passport. Aleksy looks far, far different than his memories of him. The passport is passed back, numbers written down into his notebook and the fact that Aleksy had no information in regards to the reported assault and battery. "When did you get back?" he asks before he can stop himself but he genuinely wants to know. Jeremiah still stays crouched on the ground, not standing up yet.

Back and back and back and6 years ago"Probably," says Aleksy. "Thanks for the advice." Laika's ears perk up at the scratches, but she does little else but turn her attention back to Aleksy. "In Ashdown? A, two weeks?" In America, a month or so. That isn't necessary information, though, and Aleksy chivvies his dog into his lap and holds her carefully, very gently. She is so soft and so good and he just wants to be... okay.

wellness checks are bullshit5 and a half years agoWhat had started as a wellness check turned into something else. Jeremiah was sitting on the floor, not in a chair, and leaning back against the couch while he scratched at Laika's ears. She was such a good dog. "My father was," his fingers flexed out, unclenching from the fist they had nearly been, "one of the reasons why I left England and came to the States."

wellness checks are bullshit5 and a half years agoAleksy says something lowly in Russian, more of a mumble than anything. He's listening, his green eyes on Jeremiah, a large and near-flat pillow clutched over his chest. "Was? He is dead, then?" Aleksy is nineteen and drunk and upset, and listening.
