Tereus was surprised when he didn’t see Dick sitting in the living room when he got home. He dropped his bag by the door where he normally kept it. The lights were on and he didn’t hear any music and the television wasn’t on.

( It seemed way too quiet. )

“All right.” Dick set the last box of his stuff down in the upstairs bedroom and straightened, hands going to his hips, “that’s the last of it until the movers bring the furniture.”

( He and Damian had finally found a new place. )

It had been a long night, so when he’d finally gotten Cassandra’s report, he hadn’t wanted to read it right away. Usually they were mundane - as most of the reports were - robberies, muggings, picking up new pieces of information concerning ongoing investigations. But Cassandra had seemed eager for him to read, as though it were important.
