You yawn as you rise from your desk, rubbing a hand over your face and turning off the small lamp on the corner of your desk. Being Phoenix's assistant was no easy feat: he wasn't hard on you in any sense of the word but there was still plenty of work he had set up for you. As you start to leave, you notice the light on in Phoenix's office, tilting your head a bit. You check your watch to confirm the time and are surprised to see you and your boss are still in the office at midnight.

You approach his office quietly, peering your head in and rapping your knuckle against the doorframe. Phoenix who had just been busy at work looks up when you interrupt the silence, blinking at you as he tries to process who's here before he realizes it's you. “Hey, I thought you’d left already.” Phoenix says with a smile as you stand in the doorway of his office.

“I thought I was going to be out of here, too, but a case just came in so I better get ahead of it, you know?” he says, leaning back and shrugging softly with his hands folded in his lap; there were obvious eye bags under his eyes, his normally well kempt hair was sticking out in places. From the looks of it, he was eager to talk about maybe anything except this case laying out right in front of him.
