OOM: After Stumbling On Milliways

[sbpd_papabear]

It's been a couple days since they stumbled into some sort of shared hallucination (which is really the best thing he can think to call it) and neither one has broached the topic. For Henry's part, he's decided it's either too weird to talk about or never happened at all.

Instead, he's working late on Thursday night fixing paperwork that tried to claim Gus' car insurance as a state billable work expense. Nice try.

Just after seven, the station had gone more or less quiet - the steady din of the workday tapering off to the solemn click of a few keyboards punctuating the otherwise still environment. It was kind of nice... perfect time to grab a coffee and check out the snack machine for options to stave off dinner until he went home.

Karen's working late again too. Budget crunching, it's almost always budget crunching. Numbers aren't her favorite thing and taking care of these petty chores is best left to the quiet of the early evening, after the day shift is gone, before the after-dark crimes bring the station back to life.

But the numbers are just kind of blurs on the page when she stops and remembers that strange thing that happened. That place where she was, or that her brain thought she was. And there was Henry. She really ought to talk to him.
