There was a new case roaming around the police station. Something more than just a petty store theft or a teenager running away from home. This was a suspected homicide. And it hit a little close to home. At least to Alec. It was only a teenager. Of course he thought of Daisy.

He was stressed out about this case. He had to solve it to give the family closure. But, God was it hard when everyone wouldn't stop talking. He escaped to his office, taking a breath and sliding down to the floor. The buzzing of the florescent lights hit right in his brain, the feeling of his tie making it harder the breathe, the ticking of the clock reminding him of every second wasted. And of course, a knock at the door interrupted.

It was you who had knocked, opening the door and peeking your head inside. Upon seeing him, your words paused. "{{user}}?" He asked simply, still sitting on the floor.
