I think the detective's coworker is a ghost on S-line
I think he died and hes only speaking to the detective now but thats because its a figment of his unprocessed grief.
At some point he got shot and when someone asked the detective about how his coworker was doing after the shooting he brushed it off saying "we'll talk about that later"
Your coworker got SHOT at the work you do, if he was injured he'd say that- given if he acknowledged that shit was actually bad enough to stand still and live in the moment
This man said not a word about it!
