[ It's not the darkness that scares him, but the inherent absence of light. Perfectly normal, rational fear that makes it absolutely okay for his heart beat as rapidly as it is, fingers trembling from the effort to keep goddamn calm because he is past this. It's fine. Just checking in. Everything is going to be just fine. ]

Please tell me you're okay.

[ ACTION — OPEN ]

[ FBI agents aren't ones to sit at home and cower and soon as Reid has made sure that the people he cares about are safe and well, he makes a valiant effort to at least get himself to the Defence Force HQ where he can at least be of use. Armed with nothing but a flashlight and the reflexes of a life-long bully victim he braves the dark and the raptors, keeping close to the buildings so he can slip inside should the bloody reptiles come too close.

Of course, that won't help much if he finds himself in a fear zone... ]

	[ Excuse you. ] I'm fine... still in the apartment. [ Not under a bed. ] Bit, uh... bit too dark for my liking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It would be a good precaution in case of earthquakes.] No flashlights? I think I'll head out and see if I can figure out what's going on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, I got flashlights. [ Plural. ] Alright... be careful. I think I'll head over to the HQ. See if there's anything we can do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you sure about that? The heading over I mean. We don't know what's going on yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Uh. ] ...Didn't you just say that you were heading outside for that very reason? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, yeah, but that's different. [Let him just pause while he figures out a less jerk-y way of explaining why.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How is that different? [ No, really. He's all ears. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-01-02 01:19 am UTC (link)
	Because... I'm on a combat team? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And... that makes me incapable of traveling outdoors under less than ideal circumstances? I'm not a librarian, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know, I know. They probably didn't have an FBI training course on what to do if the sun didn't rise though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, but we've dealt with serial killers that operated during blackout conditions. This isn't that different. I'm, uh... I'm pretty handy with a flashlight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He has to stop himself from asking follow-up questions about serial killers who may or may not have been causing blackouts. This isn't really the time for it. Maybe at the next class.]

Sure. Let's hope it doesn't inspire any budding or secret serial killers. [Not the best thought there.] I guess it's not like there's anything there in the dark that wouldn't also be there in the light. [Even as he says it, he doesn't quite believe it. He's hunted things that only move in the dark, but there's no reason to give today a worst-case scenario feel, right?]

	[ That's a very good rationalization you're doing there, Sam. One he's tried to talk himself into for ages. A life time. Alas. ] Problem is, in the light we can at least see what's there. Usually. [ Hm. ] Be careful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You too. I'll be in my sector, but call if you need anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-04 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	I will... good luck. [ And with that he ends the feed. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
