At first glance, it would be hard to spot Jason amidst the chaotic arrangement of his room if he wasn't snoring loudly in the corner. As always, Otto asked him to pull another all-nighter, this time to track down some La Sangre den that was believed to be hidden somewhere within HQ borders. Jason grumbled in his sleep. How did he get mixed in the middle of this conflict anyway? Did he sleep with the wrong person at the wrong time? No, that was two months ago... Maybe he stole something he shouldn't have? ...Yeah, that's exactly what happened. He knew that stealing from the leader of one of the most powerful gangs in the city was probably the most terrible idea he ever had in years, but all the bucks he could've made...
Regardless, that bridge's been burned already, so there was no point in losing sleep over it. Lucklily, Jason was already a professional at doing both of those things (especially at burning bridges), as he was peacefully resting right on his desk. That was, of course, until a voice came from the radio nearby:
"...Shifter that attacked Knox is inside. I repeat Intruder inside HQ..."
"Hrm...Just a few more minutes...zzzz..." he muttered in his sleep as he pushed the radio off the table. In a way, his request was fullfilled, since exactly a couple of minutes later someone knocked twice on his door. Jason groaned, annoyed.
"Hnng...Can't a man just get some damn sleep around here? Fine, I'm waking up already, geez..."
With some effort, Jason raised his head from the desk and stretched his arms over his head. With that out of the way, he scratched his head and picked the radio from the floor to then attach it to his belt.
"...What time is it, anyway?" he wondered as he peeked through the closed courtains. He took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the light outside.
"Damn, looks like it's afternoon already. And here I was supposed to make a report this morning..." he pretended to think for a moment before shrugging nonchalantly:
"...Welp, shit happens. It's not like I'm getting paid for this crap anyway..."
Jason picked up his long coat from the rack nearby and put it on, before opening the door leading to the corridor and peeking outside.
Huh, looks like the firebird is doing her shift again... Jason thought when he saw Xie putting trays of food next to each door. After giving another quick look around the corridor he picked the food tray in front of him and went back to his room.
For being a bunch of thugs with guns, Jason had to admit that the Hyde's cooks were pretty good... However, it is also true that he had to survive on Chinese takeaways before he started working for the gang, so it was also likely that his food standards were just pretty low.
"...Okay, I guess it's about time that I made that damn report already." he said as he finished the meal and left the tray outside the room. Then, he casually strolled to Otto's office. On his way there, he stumbled upon Knox, who looked slightly paler than usual.
" 'Sup, Knuckles. What's wrong, seen a ghost or something?" Jason said as he walked past him. If Jason had any shred of respect towards the authorities in this place, then he certainly had a very strange way of showing it.
