WHO: Hermes and Alcuin WHEN: Week 4; Thursday - Midday WHERE: Jannati City; Scott McCall's apartment WHAT: Sometimes home is a person and not a place RATING: TBA STATUS: In progress
There'd been someone following him and for a while it was making Hermes twitchy until he'd managed to take a route that was winding enough where he could corner the guy and get the small, thin knife he kept on his person now against the much larger man's throat. An explanation and a phone call confirming it later had Hermes releasing the man and insisting that he walk with him and not behind him. The guy muttered something about explaining to Carrick why he disobeyed orders to which Hermes snapped that he'd handle it and it'd be fine.
When he got to Alcuin's building, however, he insisted his guard remain outside. Nothing would harm him here. Taking a boy on the street was one thing, pulling him out of someone else's home was just begging to be killed for it.
Taking a deep breath, he knocked on Alcuin's door, all wrapped up tight in a hoodie zipped to the middle of his chest exposing the white v-neck beneath it and the jeans that hung too low on his hips. Knowing his luck lately, his friend wouldn't even be home.
