Bryson was quiet the entire way to his house. He occupied his time staring out of a window with a distant, far off look in his eyes. There was nothing of interest out of there; just that he had to keep quiet or he may have burst into tears. For a young boy, Bryson was strong and confident. Recon was what he did best and why not? Setting a couple of coordinates and directions, letting Marce know where everything and everybody was at all times. Marce once remembered commenting that he wanted to learn from Reflection. That "she obviously has 'eyes on' everywhere." She was a Recon Goddess. Back then, Marce scoffed at the thought of Reflection getting anything other than a bullet in their head, let alone praise. Now the thought just made him think about Ace and what she was doing. He checked his phone every 2 minutes it seemed, as if expecting for her to call and curse him out over leaving her there. That was better than nothing.
He wheeled the car off the corner of 70th street and past a strong of nicely constructed houses. The occasional house had a dingy, broken look, much like Arch's apartment, just not as bad. Marce remembered asking Bryson why he decided to stay somewhere with that kind of atmosphere. Bryson simply replied that he had always lived there. Somethings just couldn't be let go.
"So she visited him to see him and found out she wasn't here, then kept on moving to the Bureau."
"That's my guess and the best guess we've got so far." Marce answered. He parked the car on the side of the curb as quietly as he could, making sure that noise was down to a minimum. He wasn't saying that anyone was in Bryson's house, but there could have been. Alex and Bryson's relationship had so many twists and turns. It was a wonder why none of them confessed their feelings yet. One look over to Bryson and how white his face was compared to how red the rims of his eyes were said it all. Marce didn't need to be a Love Doctor to figure it out. It was never good to fall in love in that kind of field, especially with your own partner. Too many risks and dangers. Too much paranoia. Marce was doing good.
"They're setting up perimeter. More men on the way." Bryson chided in. Still doing recon even at the state. Police cars barricaded 70th street.
"Tell them, no sirens, no lights." Marce said to Bob before walking towards Bryson's house. He slowly walked down the alley, studying the doors on the left while Bryson followed, eyeing the units to the right. Bob stayed in the car for information coming in and out from the officers. If Marce and Bryson so much as whistled for back up, all the cops on the street would bombard through the door, guns raised. The higher apartments to his left were big enough to drive a truck through, like the detective said. Marce and Bryson made note of two cars nestled tightly between the open space between the apartments and Bryson's two story home. That must have been them. Marce had almost reached the side door of Bryson's house when he saw a sliver of light peeking beneath the side door. He moved closer, straining to hear sounds.
There was a clang from a metal stair case above him that he paid no attention to.
