Table 7, #13 - Hand in my pocket
The white banker’s box was sitting on top his desk when they returned from lunch, its innocence masked what it contained - cold case, Special Victims, child tortured and murdered - they were the lucky ones to be tagged with the new information; his steps slowed to the point that Montoya’s voice faltered and came to a stop as she turned to look at him, and then she too, looked at the box. Duo heard the intake of breath, and Montoya was reaching past him to the folder of case material printed out an hour before. She began reading the history, her voice steady, dispassionate. Duo started to open the box, pushing away the emotion, pulling on the shroud of professionalism; he barely felt Heero’s hand squeeze his shoulder before he left for his own desk with his own cases.
And, as he began pulling evidence and the crime scene photographs from the box, he knew he’d need to feel Heero’s hands that night.
