Oh shit.

He quickly places the photo back on the desk and returned half the files on top of it.Then he took the rest and sat back at his desk.

The door opened.

Darryl walked in and paused. "your still here?"

"Well yeah.You told me you would be back around 1,but now its like 3:50." Quackity said.

"My apologies,things got a little out of hand." Darryl said giving him a strange look.

"Did you do all this?" Darryl asked pointing to the stack of finished files and cases.

"yeah?"

"Wow." Darryl said sounding surprised.

Quackity laughed "Im insulted by how you sound so suprised."

Darryl said nothing. He just kinda stood there for a minute.

"Hmph.Well.That changes things a bit." Darryl said finally moving.

He took off his coat and walked over to his desk.He began shuffling stuff around and putting things up and away so quickly that he looked like a tornado.

"Well.You seem competent.Would you like to join me on a case tomorrow? " Darryl said finally looking at him.He was smiling a little.

Quackity was surprised but pleased.He didnt seem like the guy who did that very often.

"Hell Yeah!"Quackity said.

Darryl chuckled "Langu-" He stopped for a minute.A dark and saddened expression crossed his face.

Whatever spark that was there before was gone,and it was replaced with a cold scowl.

 "Very well then.See you tomorrow." In one brisk motion he had grabbed his coat and cane and walked out the door.

 'What the hell??' quackity thought.

Quackity got to the office early.He didnt want to be late,and he had to do some stuff before they left.

He thought about how Darryl acted.The way he carried himself extremely unusual.Like he carried a burden only he could understand.

Quackity realized that he knew nothing about him.Even something as simple as how old he was.

Huh.He was.gonna ask him once he got there.

Quackity finished what he was doing and went to grab the case file he and Darryl where gonna do.He  didnt have to wait long after that before Darryl arrived.

His cold expression was still there and he looked even more miserable than normal.The purple rings under his eyes where darker than usual.

 "uhh,hey?" Quackity said.

Darryl looked at him.

 "You okay?You look like crap."He

"Im fine." Darryl said. "Did you get the case?"

 "Yeah.Its about some kidnapper who kidnapped a 13 year old girl,and is suspected to have other children too." Quackity said.

Darryl quickly grabbed his keys and the case from quackity and opened the file.

 "okay.She still should be alive." he mumbled.

His eyes scanning it at lightning speed.He dropped it and ran to his computer and searched something he was there 5 minutes before he finally finished whatever He was doing.He then grabbed quackity and ran out the door to his car.
