Monica peeked carefully and was mildly relived at how he seemed to be taking her suggestions. Though he probably had part of her meaning wrong tho eric might be perfect to bridge the gap. That way less trouble for both her and samuel with those around them.
She'd still have to tell him about her though. As they walked in she looked around and took note. Then she looked at bhas" we could probably use meal Patricia especially and there are clothes for her size I'm guess"

As they entered and was buzzed through Bhas introduced everyone including Patricia who would be staying here in the safe house a while. Delivering Patricia into Ruslov’s dainty hands he pulled Davis with him. “We’ll be back with food any suggestions?” Getting several he nodded as he and Davis went back to the car. “Ruslov is small but she has the right mindset she will do what she can to be neither threatening nor solicitous. Plus she is the best deputy in the area hand to hand and fashion wise.”
He paused as his phone vibrated he checked the message and fired back several." I have to get going soon if we’re going to ge the ball rolling quick enough to keep the doctor off foot. You got this? Don’t answer that I know you got this but you need to run everything you’re doing through the DIC. I’ll get you some study aids sent this way too so you can still pass your tests. So what will it be burgers and chicken or pizza and Italian?"

As they swept through she matched faces to auras to names. It was almost smothering until she focused less. Picking one at a time Patricia with her beast a favorite because it reminded her of someone she cared about.
Then he was whisking her back out and there was a moment of motherly like anxiety the realization that she shouldn't do that because it would lead to hesitation when she needed to not.
Smirk finding her lip then she nodded at the run it by the dic thing." Pizza and family sized Italian dishes feed more and we could do half veggie or get a dish without meat"
Plus volume the Italian wiuld filk every one up better for cheaper.

Bhas smirked as Davis made casual and understanding comment on his general vegetarian lifestyle. She really was a competent detective. From two meals she’d deduced his normal meal type and had included it in her offerings.
“That sounds like a great idea and whatever is cheapest is always the best route. Patricia is in safe hands they’ll have her scrubbed, dressed and almost ready for primetime play.” He said making minor light of her care. He wanted to disarm her but if he shot straight in she’d erect walls. He noticed as helpful as she was she was always of two minds she was guarded and played only certain of her cards where they could be seen. He didn’t mind as the best investigators often carried multiple books at once.
As he was rarely in the field and instead a glorified case officer most days he was well truly not of a mind to pry so long as she stayed nominally above board. He wouldn’t dare be so maudlin as to say that she was trusting her." Italian it is. Up ahead and the same notes as for a murder book you need to get going I’ll be leaving… " He looked at his phones screen ignoring the messages there including the four from the USAAG.

She took his commentary with a grain of salt. Getting in the car she started plotting the needed points for this case. She'd have to get another to sit in while she took testimony and matched it to proof. Building her case against the shrink.
He'd get checked stringently for everything had he so much as stole an extra mint from a restaurant she'd know and proceed to roast his rear.
As she drove" so how long they gonna keep you so I know how much time we have to build what we need. I also want to see if I can get previous releases and match stories or get denials so I know what we might have to face if this goes to court...well when vecause he wont go down peaceful"
It was maybe ten minutes to the food place. They went in there were specials. Zuchini Alfredo pene and spaghetti balagnase. They ordered two pans of each and an xtra large half cheese half pep. They got offered two gallon jugs of half n half which was tea and lemonade mixed.
While the food was made and packed she ran next door to a little bakery that was almost ready to close for the night. They were happy to sell off the left behinds half price. Returning with brownies, cookies danish canoli and donuts of many variety.

As Davis went about her errands securing the meal for the group he texted and emailed. His flight was booked and he would be on the west coast in twenty-four hours one of his old cases was active. He didn’t like the fact that the Pirate had been seen. It was a matter of pride, public safety and sheer terror. He’d made his career off of the Pirate case. It was doubly threatening as Bhas had watched the man die by hanging. Yet supposedly he was seen active and connected to a slew of fae descendant murders.
" Too long and not long enough. Its easy to win political battles as no one wants to lose its a battle of attrition with the wars already decided. The good we do lasts the bad we do never dies. Loyalty can make crook of a saint and a sin of a sinner. All I ask is you keep your nose as clean as provable. Yo got a way and a gift Davis don’t ruin me to prove anything. What we have here is a chance to change the perception of ten ninety sixes forever. You were originally accepted as a PR stunt and campaign. Good cop great PR. You’re here now make it count."

As they packed the food in the truck she tried hard not to tense his words stung terribly. Of course she knew she had gained favors locally due to her looks and rep. Small ,feminine, pretty smart, a good egg, heroic.
All things people saw looking at her. It was hard enough trying to keep people from assuming she'd spent her rise to the top on her knees or back. Especially with her blend of dual minority.
Matt had seen it some when he'd been around but the only person she'd ever let see how bad it effected her sometimes was samuel. He'd been there on evenings when it had been an incredibly terrible soul smashing day and she'd gone into his arms tearful or numb.
He'd anger bluster but eventually just hold and heal her. So bhas admitting it wasn't just merit that got her a marshals badge tore at her some. She kept her poker face inplace counting in her head till her shoulders relaxed and turned a cheerful but believable face to her superior." Understood and I will do my best to make us all look good"
Slipping back behind the wheel. Tasting blood in the back of her mouth she'd bitten her cheek with out realizing it. This was her chance but more and more her abuela echoed in her ear. Babies weddings leaving crime fighting behind.

"Thank you your honest effort and honesty are the two things I ask. I will pull for you no matter what as long as you do that for me."
He sighed before going on. "I am only bringing this up now because the Deputy in Charge here is a bit of a cowboy. She is formerly from the Shreveport area. We cant prove it but we know she helped hunt down a group of canine infected lycanthropes. Seems they killed her younger brother trying to infect him."
Watching the road as they drove he turned in his seat to more properly see her and allow her to see him. "I gave her the addresses. I know what its like and jow to carry the weight of what we do. Just remember as long as you do right and are honest I have your back."

It hit her what he said and she had no anger it was a messed up situation they had broken the law trying to infect someone because technically you werent supposed to give someone a communicable potentially deadly disease.
Accident was one thing but intentionally trying to infect someone. She nodded and kept driving. Knowing that she'd have to watch the dic. Hoping to the fact that she was trying to build a case against someone hurting shifters.
They pulled up and she focused on " lets feed the horde then"
Taking out the box of aluminium pans and balanced pizza box. Leaving the bakery box for him to take. Soft sigh as they walked in to the office. Setting down the food seeing patrica changed and showered looking more relaxed.

He sighed allowing his thoughts to settle on Davis directly. He could imagine her thoughts or at least some of them. It was clear that like all things law enforcement her standing and how valuable she truly was had been a well kept open secret. Being presented with the unbridled truth of her standing he could empathize. It was a similar situation to his promotion to his Directorship. His youth and ladder climbing laid bare. It was a hard pill to swallow initially. He was promoted primarily as a way to curtail his meteoric rise. And secondarily to raise the prestige of the Service.
“I’d apologize if I could Davis but that would as the infected say be too clos e to a lie. I see big things for you. You’ve just to stay the road follow your gut and color within the lines. Just in the few days of knowing you I know that will be your fight but you’re a winner you can do this.”

She paused and looked at him really looked after a quiet but" not anything you did personally to apologize over but I appreciate it all the same. You are also correct in the fact that abstract art is more my thing but again I will try my best"
Trying to smile but barely managed then refocused as her stomach growled audiably. She gave him a shall we? Look as the others came to get food.

Bhas chuckled sardonically at her comment. Abstract art was a good summation of what law enforcement was as a whole. Especially for the Service as they crossed so many lines of jurisdiction. " Your best is all I can ask for Davis lets get inside Patricia is probably getting just comfortable enough to size up the gang here. We don’t want her to rabbit or the show we put on will definitely have us up before a review board."
AS the thers closed on the food he helped Davis unload and move everything inside. He knew how lycanthropes could eat and honestly thought of simply setting aside a pan for Patricia. Thinking better of it he simply waited for everyone to grab and get to the communal table. She didn’t nudge push or even really move to gather a plate until everyone was done. She was watching the ebbs and flow of power much as he was watching her.
Her waiting was a good sign. It meant from what he understood she didn’t consider herself above any of the marshals if she had she might have insisted to the point of an altercation. It also he knew meant that eventually she would claw her way into the totem pole of power here. She would carve out a place for herself. It was a very human and all too lycanthrope way of doing things. Luckily he thought there were enough available that it shouldn’t become a huge problem. And by then hopefully this case was mostly wrapped up.

As monica watched then filled her own plate of food. Spaghetti and a slice of peperoni. Large cup of half and half a slice of garlic bread all balanced. Settling near her charge but not right next to so it wouldn't color peoples view.
Smiling as she watched her eat hungrily but not rudely. Aperantly part of keeping shifters weak was under feeding them. That had her angry a bit, she'd string him up oh yes.
There was low conversation and most ate to full leaving them down three of four and a half pans.couple slices of pizza and a quarter gallon of half n half. Desserts picked through, she nodded to Patricia to get more.
She seemed grateful to be understood and refilled her plate to full. Finishing the last pan of pasta and a slice more of pizza. Monica went to the side and started working the case file up.

Patricia could be the key to unlocking the system and arranging a paradigm change. He mulled it over as he ate with one hand typing with the other and conversed and joked his way through dinner. Patricia it seemed looked to Davis a her Alpha for now which was good she was the protector and that should get them through until a few motions had been filed, warrants issued, cases begun and run.
Excusing himself he called the ADA and got the ball rolling it would of course require a face to face but a call was a good start of things. It would according to the ADA take at least a few months . He didn’t have tie for that so he would break a few rules and so called a few other ADA’s to get the ball really moving. It would a be a jurisdictional nightmare but it would definitely be fast tracked.
Stepping back in he bid his goodbyes made his way to the car and took off for the west coast. By dint of timing he would have to trust Davis untried to this arena as she might be.
