Pet Shop of Horrors // Signs of Life
G | 100 words | Mention of family murder, no spoilers | Leon is late.
"You're late, Detective," D snapped as he came into the parlour; it was past midnight, and Chris had long since gone to bed. He had expected Leon to roll in drunk and obnoxious, but he found Leon on the couch looking harrowed and grey, and his lecture died in his throat.
"Yeah, I should've called," Leon said, voice a rough croak. "Had a case." He smiled without humour. "Not one of yours. Murder-suicide. Perp got his wife and kids, no pets."
The pets clustered around Leon; for once, he allowed it. "Just thought I'd come here to see some life."
