𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗽𝘀, coffee from dolly's in a to-go cup in one hand and the other fishing for the lighter in his pocket. the pounding in his head is background noise at this point, an erratic thrum that sits in the back of his skull as all his musings come to the forefront. everything is spiraling out of control; a disappearance, a murder, and now apparently there is a wanted man in his town, completely independent from everything that's transpired over the last two months. he wants to believe he's got a firm handle on the situation, that things are fine and answers will come to him soon, but with every unprecedented development, his authority slips through his fingers like blood. the wanted posters are everywhere, with at least one tacked hastily onto a surface in every corner. he's pretty sure he memorizes every detail on greer's face at this point. it's how he identifies him from afar, clear as day despite the moon hanging in the sky. he lights his cigarette, breathes in the smoke, and laughs. “ you've been quite the celebrity these past few days, ” nathan quips. “ so what'd you do, hm? grand larceny? manslaughter? everyone wants to know. ”

* ❪ ⛓️ ❫ ﹕ 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 between greer's ears. two years since fight or flight had its chance to reenter brumating psyche. should anyone want to test old instincts, they'd have to be quick enough to salvage the pulse that threads their lifeline together. a slight of hand to beat out the instinctual grit that curls calloused knuckles. nine years ago he'd have their jaw pinned underneath his shoe for the mere thought of targeting him, fracturing bone without offering a single ultimatum. but nine years ago, things had changed. life had offered him another chance with the news he would be a father. needed to clean his act up, needed to be more careful, needed to think before reacting. every choice mattered, self - preservation a newly added routine, for her. greer's will to live, just a couple miles out. this game of cat and mouse ? a kindness for whatever may happen. because in the grand scheme of things, nothing he could do would make the situation worse. the cops of redcreek were the last of his worries, should one of their deputies come crawling out ( he liked his odds if that were the case, truthfully ). of course, there was the slim possibility of it being a commuter, one of the more heedless individuals that chose to use an isolated passage despite there being a serial murderer on the loose. ❛ might wanna quit whatever the fuck you're doin' while you're ahead and tell me what you want. ❜ voice void of emotion as he calls out, chest rising in a manifestation of heat, sizzling the adrenaline that burns a path toward working lungs. nine years ago if you were ready to tail greer aatkani, he'd be more than happy to meet you head on. for where the sons of the kingdom are thrown into the outer darkness, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
