Who: Colin Ford and Owen Murphy
What: In the aftermath of Sarah and Jay's murder and their funeral over the weekend. Colin and Owen attempt to pick up the pieces and address the question of 'where do we go from here?'.
Where: Owen's apartment in Seattle
When: Monday afternoon, July 19th 2010 (After Colin gets off work in London)
Warnings: MAJOR ROBIN-Y ANGST.
Colin was still in a daze. Every day of last week hadn't been real to him, not a sensation that had been helped at all by the fact that he barely left his office. Except for the one night Juliet forced him to come home for dinner and the times he went over to Owen's, Colin was constantly burying himself with work. He did it on purpose, it was the only way he could cope with this. Owen was even worse off then he was, and Colin had partially shut himself down in order to take care of him. Colin was hurting, yes, but he functioned better on a level of mostly numb. If he closed himself off, it couldn't hurt as much, right? And his friends needed him, he couldn't be the one to break. Jen was visibly falling to pieces at work, more often then not Owen refused to even leave his apartment, Kylee had completely shut down and everyone else was just trying to pretend like the worst hadn't just happened. Two of their own had been killed. The JL was in way over their heads.
What were they supposed to do now? Colin was at a loss, and what's more is he didn't really care. He didn't care where they went from here as long as whoever did this was brought to justice. Sarah and James had not been the role model crime fighters, but they hadn't deserved that. No one deserved what Colin had seen that day at the crime scene. He immediately pushed that thought out of his head with a shudder as he shouldered the bag of groceries in his arms and let himself in to Owen's apartment complex. When he could, he came to Owen's with groceries so that gave them an extra incentive to stay inside. He didn't blame Owen at all for not wanting to leave his place ever, mostly because Colin was right there with him. He came to Owen's so they could hide from the world, together, and that's exactly what Colin planned on doing today.
He didn't bother knocking, he let himself into Owen's apartment with the key he'd copied earlier in the week so Owen wouldn't have to get up to answer the door if he didn't want to (since at the beginning of the week, Colin hadn't found him anywhere other than his bed). Setting the bag of groceries down on the counter, Colin removed his coat and put it on a nearby chair before wandering further into the apartment to look for his boyfriend. "Owen?"
