If I never see another piece of paper in my life, it'll be too soon. I hope everyone's enjoying the holiday. I think I will spend mine holed up at home. I don't want fireworks and listening to them is going to be more than I need right now.

If anyone really needs to reach me, good luck. And if you so much as mention paperwork, I will cream something,

So much has happened... I feel like I've been walking around in a haze lately just because of everything that's going on right now.

If any of my colleagues want to go out for coffee or something, I could use the distraction.

Right, so I should probably apologize for being rather dramatic recently. A lot's been piling up lately, though I shouldn't have let it get to me so easily. I took a few days off and now I feel better than ever.

Marri, that cup of coffee sounds fantastic. Will Jules be tagging along?


I think I'm going to lie down for a bit, though. The week, well past month, really, has been exhausting.

Just... GAH

Mmmm.. cousin's gone... At least I have the house to myself now.

I think I'm going to get out for a little, go for a drive maybe. Any suggestions?

My cousin's gonna head out in a few days can't believe how long she stayed

And with that said, I'm going to go throw up now. Officer Hughes, I'll help as much as I can from afar and when my cousin's gone... I'll do what I'm able to help.

Why has everything exploded recently?

Sasuke, I hope you end up doing better after your trip. When are you getting back?

Officer Hughes, I'm afraid I'll need to really take time off. My cousin's staying longer than she said she would. I'll let you know when I'll be back in the office.


I'm beginning to wonder what I should think about things... It's like everything's gotten shoved on its head, you know?

Hm well things are picking up yet again. I suppose my coffee appointment will have to wait until after all this paperwork gets done. And I was looking forward to that, too.

Maybe next week my paperwork will have calmed down some...

Oh, and Officer Hughes, my cousin's coming into town in a few days, so I won't be available when she gets here, but it's not a long stay. Just letting you know.

Somedays I wonder what goes on outside my little cubicle. I'm going out for coffee tomorrow during break, so don't expect me to be around the office. Shouldn't be gone long, so no, the work won't pile up on my desk either of them. Hm... Officer Hughes, thank you for dinner last night. It was... definitely the break I needed.

I think I'm going to go for a walk in the park today sometime, but I'm not sure exactly when. Sometime when the office can afford to let me go for a little, hm.. I'll figure something out.

((Strikes visible to Turks / Rufus))

I keep feeling like I'm missing something somewhere...

Somehow, I think time off would be nice, but I'm not sure I can afford such a luxury.

I need a coffee break or something.

What the HELL is going ON around here?

Why does no one have regard for human life anymore?

Happy Birthday to someone.. 

Sir,

The car's been towed. Tseng said Rude was intercepting it. The police don't know.I'm going to the station to see what else I can get out of this. What should I look out for? Are there any leads that I might be able to go on?

... How are you? I haven't heard anything...

So worried

Officer Hughes - Picnic?

Oh, I have a little walk planned around the city this week to see what's been going on recently. Sasuke, will you be joining me?

And to the rest of the Police Department: Officer Hughes suggested a picnic to get to know each other better. I understand Officer Hawkeye is on an assignment, but perhaps the rest of us could pick a day to go out?

I've been buried in both homework for my classes at the University and a new assignment for the department here. I feel like I've missed things...

Now that I've dug myself back out to the light of day, would anyone like to get a mug of coffee or something and tell me what I've been too exhausted every night to look into?

Officer Hughes - When did we want to schedule that department picnic?
