[fieldbox= Cynthia, #367b85, dashed, 10, Georgia] To say Cynthia was pissed would have been an understatement. Fortunately, there was little difference between her pissed off face and the face she usual wore throughout the day. The damage to Max's house wasn't what troubled he. r. Things could be replaced, and the owners of the house were out of the picture for the next few days. What she was pissed off about was the fact that Holsted had sent West in without backup, and knowing full well that the killer would be striking Max's house at some point. It would have been better to let the murderer take out his frustrations on Max and Susan's belongings than risk the chance that someone else would be killed for standing in his way. Did they all think she was stupid enough to leave Max there to handle someone who was out to get at her? Apparently her superior and co-workers mistook her for an idiot.
She didn't say anything to anyone as she surveyed the damage done. All in all, it could have been a lot worse, and Cynthia was slightly grateful that West had managed to put things to an end quickly. 'Still doesn't excuse his stupidity for being here in the first place.' She thought with a huff of annoyance, turning her attention back to the preparations at hand. She was going to have to spend the next few days fixing things up, and replacing everything that was broken. Other than that, she was certain the worst of it was over. At least for her.
West on the other hand looked like he had just spent the past few days in hell. Given what he'd been through, that wasn't much of a stretch from the truth. The detective listened as he began to talk, silently cursing at the man for being stubborn. Her arms folded across her chest as he finished, regarding him with a look that informed him that she was not at all happy about what she was hearing. Was he too stubborn to realize she was pushing him off the case so he could stop worrying about what the killer would do to him next? Apparently everyone just assumed she did everything simply because she liked being alone. 'Because telling him to take himself off the case would have worked like a fucking charm.' That was a laugh and Cynthia knew it. Deep down she was certain everyone else did to; they just enjoyed putting as much blame on her as possible.
"I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Holsted. You're both fucking idiots. Did you think I was going to let Max sit here with a fucking target painted on his head? I knew what was going to happen the minute I was out of the picture, which is why I didn't want anyone here! The whole point of sending them away was to avoid people getting hurt, not so you and Holsted could play around. You're lucky you didn't get yourself killed listening to him! You should have kept your resignation and gotten the hell out of here while you had a chance." Yes, she was pissed because now she had to worry about West again, and because she'd been forced to give a damn about what happened to someone else. She didn't like it at all. In fact, she would have preferred to have preferred spending the rest of her career on desk duty. "Did it ever occur to either one of you that I had things under control? A house and furniture, all that shit can be replaced. Who's going to replace your brains when the killer decides to send them flying out through your ears?"
Cynthia sighed heavily, ending her rant for the time being as Kevin touched a rather sensitive nerve she had hoped not to deal with. Still, she needed to tell him the truth, regardless of how much she didn't want to share the information. "My former headmaster and guardian was a pedophile. I'm pretty sure the killer got the pictures from him, but I have no idea how. The man's been dead for the past few years, and all of the pictures they took from him are stored in evidence. Yale was a dead end completely, which leaves trying to see if I can find anything from the gym I used to go to." That was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and Cynthia knew she'd have a better time tracking down the printer the photos were printed from than the identity of the photographer. "Go home, West. You look like shit. You've got till Thursday to rest up, and I'd suggest you use it."[/fieldbox]
