Duke closed his eyes, mentally counted to ten and opened them again to survey the picked over candy display before him.
He'd known it was foolish to think that the display would go untouched for longer than a day, but surely a few hours hadn't been too much to ask?
Then again...Duke sighed and rubbed the back of his neck before bending down to pick up the few scattered wrappers that hadn't quite made into the overflowing trashcan. A grateful candy company had sent the team a huge display made of delicious candies and several of their signature sweets as thanks for getting rid of a few goblins that had taken resident in their loading dock for some reason.
Dropping the wrappers on top of all the others in the trashcan, Duke eyed what was left of the display and shrugged. Pulling a caramel apple free, he held it in his teeth while he changed out the trash bag in the trashcan. Holding the full bag in one hand, he finished taking a bite of the apple and held it in his free hand as he left the rec room.
If you couldn't beat them, join them, right?
