Who: Roger and Sydney
What: After not seeing each other for over two months, they happen to walk into the same coffee shop.
Where: Coffee shop in Downtown Seattle
When: Wednesday afternoon
Warnings: Probably some swearing from Roger.
Parking his motorcycle just a little way down from the coffee shop, Roger pulled his helmet off, tucked it under his arm and suddenly wished he had a valid police badge in Seattle. He was so used to walking into a coffee shop in full uniform and receiving a free and usually endless cup of coffee from some sweet, pretty girl. He always ended up tipping more than the amount of his coffee, but the free ego boost was priceless. Now, Roger was just some guy in a biker jacket who could either be too rich for his own good or too immature to give up his toys.
He bought the bike from a man who had a fiancee that wouldn't marry him until he sold the thing. Roger nearly laughed in his face and thought of all the things he was going to upgrade and change in his free time. There was not a woman in the world who would take his motorcycle away. Even if it was just something for him to tinker on as a distraction to what was happening all around him. Roger was still convinced that he needed time to find his footing before he tried to do something drastic. Hell, crossing over to this world might have been a sign to just give up crime fighting all together.
Roger pushed the coffee shop door open and quietly ordered a coffee before finding a place to sit with a newspaper. Alfie had told him to check the paper for crime reports, but he was slightly nervous about what he would find there. Enough horror stories would kick him back into good guy mode. Once Roger reached that level, he wasn't going to be able to go back. Not this time.
