A/N: I'm glad for the review! It makes me happy to know that someone's reading this story (because I have a lot of fun writing it). See the first chapter for the disclaimer. I hope you all enjoy this one, and please review. :)

Chapter 6: "It's Totally Awesome!"

"Dude! You should totally see his place!"

Greg shook his head at Adam's unconventional (though, at this point, rather expected) greeting. "Whose?"

"He has a signed football, some other cool antique machine thing. I mean, it's wicked awesome."

"And this would be whose place?"

"Of course, it's kind of like being in a museum. You can't touch anything. He gets… I don't know, it's not really mad or anything… just… frustrated?"

Greg smiled as he finally put together who Adam was talking about. "You tell me. He's your boss."

Pause. "I'll go with frustrated," Adam said. "He told me to let myself out and not touch anything."

Greg kept smiling at Adam's story.

"He was kinda grumpy," Adam continued.

"Well, he does have some broken bones, you know…" Greg reminded him.

"Yeah, I know. But for someone who's at home…"

"You and I both know he'd rather be working."

Another pause, albeit a shorter one. "True."

Greg furrowed his brow. "Did you really have to think about that one?"

A short chuckle. "No."

"Which means yes."

"Shut up."

Quick concession always meant Greg was right.

"So, are you on tonight?" Adam asked, redirecting the conversation.

Greg shook his head. "Feels like I'm on every night," he replied, slightly bitterly.

"Same here. Well, days, not nights."

Greg shrugged to himself. "Yeah. We're chasing a psychopath out here who's tying people's body parts in bows and stuff, so it's really been all hands on deck."

"So are we. Well, chasing a psychopath. He's not tying people's body parts in bows, but he does have Danny's badge."

Greg frowned. "Oh… okay, you win."

Adam chuckled. "Are you just getting up, or have you not gone to sleep yet?"

Greg scoffed slightly. "Try, you woke me up."

"Oh…" Adam's voice trailed down slightly, and Greg knew exactly what was coming next. "Sorry, man. Do you want me to let you go?"

Greg shook his head. He knew Adam all too well. "Nah, it's alright. The kids'll be home soon anyway."

"How are they?"

Greg shrugged. "They're okay. Alexa's still doing theater, Caden's still liking hockey, so it's going okay. He hasn't killed anyone yet, so that's a huge bonus."

Greg listened as Adam laughed. "Give him time, Greggo. Give him time."
