Pushing herself up from her pillow with a sleepy little yawn, Sylvia glanced over her shoulder, smiling softly as she recognized the man taking up the other half of her bed. “Wake up, sleeping beauty,” she sang out softly, reaching out to put a hand on his shoulder. She’d made it a habit to wake before her maids and ladies came to get her, mostly so that he could sneak out the servants’ corridors before they arrived.

Staying sober at parties like this was an impossibility. So much so that Julian had disappeared into the fold one too many times to feed the monster nagging in his brain. Call it a need, or call it a party favor, at least it was keeping him relatively sane amidst all this... well, bullshit. With another whiskey- god bless the Kovali’s for their top shelf- brown hues scanned the crowd for any familiar faces. As it was, a person of extreme interest came into his vision. Jasper Lee. His little project and his favorite scientist. The Zhangs truly knew how to pick their associates. His gift for creating the mind-numbing was impressive, and a past that put him perfectly off-kilter. Just the kind of rarity Julian liked for a friend. It was a quick order of jack before he made his way over, two glasses in his hands. “Lee, I really hope you’re drinking tonight.” He grinned, all but shoving the glass towards the other man. 

I hadn’t understood much from the call. Officer Winters had been yelling something, I only got his location tracking his phone down. If it wasn’t my subordinate I’d simply take liberty to ignore it and mind my own business but if my subordinates asks my help I’m technically obligated to follow - after all I can’t have anyone die under my watch. It just gives me bad image doesn’t it? 

Naturally it’d be different if he hadn’t made the call. 

Of course it might be too late but if that’s how it is it can’t be helped. I’m here now so I’ll look for a while and then turn back if I can’t find him. 

Situation being as it is the place it’s not a surprise to find the streets in chaos. I might stop if I wasn’t in hurry to the coordinate the phone call came from. Winters might have moved from there by now but considering that I didn’t take long to arrive---- ah.
