Craig woke up to the sun shining in his eyes. Though, he couldn't remember falling asleep. He lifts his head from the desk and groans slightly glancing around. His papers were scattered across the table and the station was barren of any of his co-workers. He glances over at the clock and sighs softly. It was 8, someone else was supposed to be here by now. He'd have to have a serious talk with the morning shift. Wait, shit it was 8. Visiting hours were open at the hospital and Tweek was waiting for him.
"Shit." he grumbles under his breath getting up from his seat. He stretches feeling his back pop. It was no wonder, the seats in the station were dreadfully uncomfortable. He quickly stumbles to his feet taking his belt on and throwing on his normal jacket. He didn't even bother to try and fix his hair that was now spiking out in different angles. That was the downside of gelling your hair.
Craig was about to make it to the door but turned around grabbing the files he needed. This was going to be hard to explain to Tweek, even harder to explain without Tweek trying to kill him. He let out a soft heavy sigh to try and calm his nerves as he got into the car and tossing the files to the passenger seat for later use.
It was a long, harrowing drive to the hospital. Craig had at least a thousand scenarios running through his mind. Most of them ended up with him getting his ass kicked.
He reluctantly pulled into the parking lot and took the files taking a breath of courage as he grabbed the files and headed to the hospital. He made his way to Tweek's room. He felt his heart pounding in his chest as he opened the door and sure enough he was greeted with a piercing glare for Tweek.
"Hey Tweek." Craig greats making his way to his normal seat. Tweek glared at him the entire way.
"Craig." was all he got in response. That glare sent ice through his veins. Tweek's glare was something to be feared for sure.
"Sorry I'm late. I ended up working late and fell asleep at my desk." Craig admits honestly. Thankfully Tweek's glare lessens up at that.
"You shouldn't work yourself too hard…" Tweek almost seemed, worried? A soft smile forms on Craig's lips but once Tweek glares at him again he fades back to his normal stone cold expression.
"Why do you have files?" Tweek questions glancing down at the files in Craig's hand curiously. Craig holds the files, it was now or never.
"Well Tweek… I have bad news." Craig made sure to keep his voice low and soft as if not to spook Tweek. Tweek on the other hand seemed to not be in any mood for it as his arms cross and he raises a brow.
"Bad news?" Tweek questions a hint of curiosity in his voice. Craig looks down at the files and fans them out for Tweek to see how many there were.
"These are all the missing people in South Park. They all disappeared suddenly and no one knows what happened. Late last night when I got back to the station there was reports coming in that there were screams from the forest." He pauses for a second scaling Tweeks reaction.
"I went to investigate and found a fence. Ike Broflovski, Kyle's little brother and one of the missing people was on the other side. He looked like he was in a fight." Tweek's face drains of color and Craig could do nothing but watch. Tweek knew something, something he didn't.
"Tweek are you ok?" he whispers softly trying to keep Tweek calm. Tweek started twitching and gripping onto the blankets in anger. This wasn't going well, Craig had to do something.
"Tweek I-" before he could continue his phone rings. Craig glances down seeing it was the station.
"I… I have to take this." Craig took his phone and made his way to the hall trying his best to ignore the glare from Tweek. Once he closes the door he answers quickly.
"Head Detective Tucker." He says quickly leaning against the wall in the hall. It was mostly empty except for the few nurses and doctors passing by.
"Detective Tucker, forgive me if I'm wrong but I thought you might want updates on the prisoners from the party you went too." The cop had a hint of sadness to his tone that made Craig tense up.
"Go on." He says sternly trying to hide his worry. What was going to happen to Eric? Or worse Tweek's gang?
"Well the group we captured are being released, we couldn't match any of their voices to the caller." Craig felt a weight being lifted from his shoulders. Though there was still one problem left.
"And Eric Cartman?" He could hear his heart pounding as he waited for the information.
"I can't release specific details but he's going to court." A smile forms on Craig's face, hopefully Eric would get what he deserved.
"Good. Thank you for letting me know." Craig hangs up before he could respond and let out a sigh. Thank god that was over. He made his way back into the room to Tweek's glare once again. At least this time he had some good news.
"Tweek, about your gang. They've been released. They couldn't match the voice." Tweeks face lightens at that and he even smiles in pride.
"You remember who you fought?" Craig scoffs a little at that. How could he forget.
"No of course I don't Tweek." He says sarcastically making Tweek snort slightly.
"Well, her voice changer has two settings. Which is probably why they couldn't match the voice." Tweek admits with a proud grin. Craig pauses for a little in more so amazement, It was an ingenious plan.
"You have one hell of a group Tweek." Craig admits, something he normally avoided trying to do.
"They have brains and strength. They don't even need me to lead them." Tweek sighs pleased with himself and leans back in his bed.
"You're what holds them together." Craig blurts out without even thinking. He wanted to take back the words he spit out desperately but it was too late. Craig instead decided to keep his eyes trained on Tweek who raised a brow to hide his embarrassment.
"Thanks Craig." Tweek smiles brightly at him. Every bit of ice he had left from his glares melted with that smile and set fire to his cheeks. Tweek was a force to be reckoned with that was for sure.
"Let's get you out of here." Craig says coughing slightly to try and control his blush, why did Tweek have to be so amazing?
