Baltimore, MD - Saturday Afternoon

[hatesparadise]

The case in Baltimore hit a sort of dead end until Parrish's daughter was back in town, having had the amazing luck to have been gone before her father's escape and only just back to the news of it. Which allowed Danny and Steve to speak with her about things and dig into the story he'd given them about being framed.

Which seemed, despite all the odds, to be the case.

"It just seems like a lot of work to get away with murder," Danny said as they walked away from Lauren Parrish's home.

[For the partner on slow play. NFB, of course.]

"One of many," Steve added modestly. "Has Chin given us contact information about the other guys who applied for the job? Maybe they can give details."

[hatesparadise]

"Sending those to my email," he said with a glance at his phone. "And if you think I'm gonna be able to pull those from the freakin' Outlook app on there..."

[grenadesandohana]

Steve laughed. "Goofy thumbs?" he guessed.

[hatesparadise]

"It's a clinical condition!" Uh huh.

[grenadesandohana]

"Sure it is," Steve said, grabbing their trash and disposing of it.

[hatesparadise]

"You wanna try it?" Oh yeah, giving Steve his phone was a brilliant idea.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve looked positively gleeful. "Yes!"

Watch your ring tones, Danno.

[hatesparadise]

"No making changes," he warned. Because adorable otter Steve was forever the phone image.

[grenadesandohana]

"Would I do that?" Steve asked.

Almost immediately.

[hatesparadise]

"Yes," Danny replied. Because obviously.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve grinned. "Well, maybe."

[hatesparadise]

"You change my pictures and I'll send stuff to your sister," he warned.

[grenadesandohana]

"What kind of stuff?" Steve asked. "It might be worth it."

[hatesparadise]

"Every embarrassing photo I have of you."

[grenadesandohana]

"She already has the otter one framed," Steve said with a sigh.

[hatesparadise]

"That's just a cute one," he replied with a grin.

[grenadesandohana]

"I hate you so much," Steve lied.

[hatesparadise]

"It's cute!" Danny insisted. "I love those pictures."

[grenadesandohana]

"Of course you do," Steve said.

[hatesparadise]

"Oh, because you don't have cat pictures on your phone." Mostly taken from the angle of cat!Danny sleeping on Steve's chest.

[grenadesandohana]

"Those are just for me," Steve protested.

[hatesparadise]

"Oh, so the picture Chin put up in the office is a coincidence?" Chin was just being a team player. Really.

[grenadesandohana]

"Maybe Chin just likes cats," Steve said.

[hatesparadise]

"Uh huh."

Look at Danny's doubtful face. Look at it.

[grenadesandohana]

"He contains multitudes," Steve said solemnly.
