Tw(s): Death, Execution, Grief, possible obsession
Konig who after he retires from the military he just can’t live like this. He can’t just live standing still watching tv doing laundry and cooking everyday. He’s watched 7 different soap operas fully atleast 5 times now. He seriously can’t handle it.
So he gets a job at the police department, he quickly works his way up the ranks. His trainer doesn’t really need to teach him much especially not put maneuvering since he already did that so much.
He gets a nickname, nothing like his military one. He’s called moose, Sargent Moose. Mainly because he almost got ran into the the car hit a brick wall instead. He thinks it’s dumb, better than his old teammates call signs but still dumb.
He lays in bed most nights remembering how his old callsign used to be said, sometimes completely wrong, sometimes people called him kong like King Kong instead… but he misses how horangi says it most of all, with sass, with no patience, with playfulness… when horangi was bossing him around though being in a such lower rank that would’ve gotten him in trouble if it was anyone else.
Then he’s told a new officer has joined, their nickname being cards. When he’s finally on a call with Cards, he meets up with them at a robbed gas station. The sunglasses on the man’s face felt to familiar to horangi that Konig couldn’t look him in the face let alone speak to him or write his name down on the report he files later. Even Cards mannerisms and how he walks, balrey speaks, and those dumb card tricks with that particular clumsy flick of the wrist is all to much like horangi.
But… it can’t be horangi because horangi was forced to go back to Korea and was executed for his crimes and running from them. It won’t matter how much of horangi he sees in Cards, it’s not him.
