A weird kind of laugh spills from his lips.
“Fuck. Is this the fucking Twilight Zone or something?”
“Fuck knows, man. Whatever it is, I never want to leave. Things might be a bit fucked-up, but life is good.”
He nods again.
“Yeah, things are pretty awesome right now.”
“Fancy heading back down to enjoy some of the awesome?”

“You got it, Doll,” Mav agrees.
“JD, get everyone drinks and set the table,” Reid demands.

“There. Stop,” I demand, seeing something in the background of the CCTV we’re currently reviewing.
We’ve been doing this for days.
