-

After checking for Keller Dover everywhere- his house, the liquor stores, the church the family attended, and the creepy small town survival gear store- he was no where to be found. You even showed people his picture and asked if they’d seen him, but no luck.

Where in the hell else could he have been??

Ugh

Poor Alex Jones..Can’t believe Keller would do that to him- Wait.

A sick feeling came over you, the kind of feeling you got when looking a murderer in the eyes, or when you get a confession in the interrogation room from someone you know is guilty. That feeling.

Maybe Dover was having a PTSD episode, a psychotic break, or worse, a murderous rampage- His missing daughter driving him to the brink of insanity. He always blamed Alex for the girl’s disappearance, but now that he was done with Alex, maybe he got it in his mind to go after Holly Jones next.

Now knowing what Keller was capable of, you jumped in the car and drive out to the Jones’ residence. You didn’t want Holly to end up like her son.

You called Loki, seeing if he would meet you at the Jones’s place. Better to have a partner in these types of situations.

It rang and rang until it went to voicemail.

Weird.

He usually picked up on the first couple of rings.

That’s okay though. You’d just go by yourself, proceeding with extra caution.

You never thought more of Keller Dover than a concerned parent, in light of recent events, maybe Loki’s obsession with the man wasn’t completely unfounded.

As you headed to the Jones residence, that sick feeling only grew. Nagging at you from the inside.

You tired to call Loki again.

No answer.

Your next step was to call O’Malley, maybe he knew why Loki wasn’t answering.

“O’Malley.” He answered quickly.

“Have you heard from Loki recently?”

“I sent him to notify Holly Jones about Alex about, oh-“ he paused. “A little bit ago.”

Your stomach dropped, your mind automatically assumed the worst. Not that David couldn’t handle himself, but that you tended to worry.

“Why, is everything alright?” He asked,

“I can’t reach Loki, phones going to voicemail. I’ve been searching for Keller Dover, I thought Dover might’ve gone for Holly or something. I’m gonna go over there and check.”

“Let me know if I need to send a unit over.”

“Thanks captain.”

You decided to hightail it to the Jones’ residence. Safely of course, the unfamiliar Pennsylvania roads combined with the darkness and the sleet made driving difficult.

As you were driving, your mind was on Loki. Of course you were thinking about Anna, but in the back of your mind was the earlier unfinished conversation between you and Loki. All the ‘what if’ scenarios swirled around in your brain. What did he want to talk to you about? It was killing you. You thought there was a chance Loki liked you, but he was hard to read. At this point there’s no denying your crush on the man. You didn’t know how much longer you’d be in Conyers, maybe you should rack up the courage to make a move.

The tiniest bit of flashing blue light caught your attention from down the road.

The lights looked like they were heading towards you.

Oh

They were.

They were police lights.

But they weren’t big lights that sat on top like a squad car, no. They were the kind like on a detective’s car.

The car was going fast; recklessly so.

Erratic and urgent.

Before you could get a good look at it, the car zoomed past you, barely giving you time to think.

That wasn’t Loki’s car, was it?

The little bit of it you saw, it did look like it. The pitch black of the Pennsylvania back country made it particularly difficult to see.

You pulled out your phone to call him again.

When it went straight to voicemail, you knew you couldn’t ignore your gut feeling any longer.

Fuck it.

You whipped the car around to follow the other car. It was so far ahead you couldn’t catch up, the faint blue lights your only guide.

Your pulse pounded in your ears as you followed who you were now sure was Loki.

Where are you going in such a hurry, Loki? And why? Why won’t you call me back?

You went ahead and called O’Malley and had him send a unit out to the Jones’ residence. But that was really all you could do, besides hope and pray everything was alright.

-

Loki barged into the ER with a limp Anna Dover in his arms.

His desperate cries for help rang throughout the hospital, demanding the attention of the doctors and pulling the heartstrings of all who were near.

Once she was safely in the hands of the doctors and his adrenaline wore off, he felt white hot heat radiating from his head.

His was vision blurry from the blood in his eyes, or maybe it was from the pain.

The pain.

The fucking pain.

It was a burning, stinging pain that hit him like a ton of bricks.

There was a sharp ringing that invaded his eardrums and he suddenly felt lightheaded, but he needed to stay awake..he needed to move his car from the ER entrance and needed to tell the captain what happened and needed to make sure Anna was okay, and needed (y/n) to..(y/n).. (y/n).

The last thing he remembered was mumbling something to the nurse before his vision faded to black.

-

You shifted in your seat and the old chair creaked under your weight. The nurse had offered to bring in a extra bed for you, but you declined, not wanting to take away form someone who really needed it.

But your ass going numb convinced you that you should’ve at least asked for a better chair.

Loki had been moved out of the ER and into a room for observation.

He laid there all bandaged up, sleeping..well he was unconscious, but saying he was sleeping made you feel better.

Loki wasn’t one of those people who looked peaceful when he slept, his permanent scowl still ingrained on his face.

That beautiful, pouty scowl.

Staring at Loki, you felt a tinge of guilt in your bones. You should’ve figured out it was Holly Jones all along, maybe you could’ve been there with Loki and things would’ve turned out differently.

The forensics team was able to speculate what happened based on the crime scene and, upon further digging, found evidence of dozens of child abductions.

Loki could’ve died. If the bullet went just a few inches over, it would’ve been a whole different story.

You quickly shook the thought form your head, he was here and he was okay. Joy and Anna were alive. Although it was almost a happy ending, it definitely wasn’t the ending to this case you expected.

-

You pulled the car to a screeching halt outside the ER entrance, Loki’s car still sitting outside. Lights on and doors open.

Shit shit shit

You barged in the doors, making a beeline for the front desk, but the commotion of doctors working on a dark haired man caught your eye.

Your stomach dropped.

Loki

He wasn’t conscious.

There was so much blood all over his face.

You closed the distance between you and them in two seconds flat.

“Is he okay?! Whats going on?!” You pleaded with the doctor to let you know something.

“A gunshot wound to the head, just passed out on us.”

A gunshot wound. To the head.

“Is he going to be okay?!” You asked, panicked.

“It only grazed him. We will keep you updated. Now, Ma’am step back please, let us work.”

You stepped back from the medical staff surrounding the detective, giving them their space.

“Please be ok Loki, please” you whispered.

You felt like the air had been knocked out of you. He can’t die, not like this.

You stood there in a daze, watching the doctor and nurses buzz around Loki. You lifted a trembling hand to brush the hair from your face and noticed how clammy your hands were. Suddenly, you were aware of a tightness in your chest and tears pricking the corners of your eyes.

A panic attack.

You tried to force your feet to carry you outside, the cold air would be good to dissolve your panic, but they felt like they were glued to the floor.

When your patients were in crisis you reminded them to do things that were in their control.

Maybe you should take your own advice.

Forcing your brain back into work mode, You turned to go move the cars from the ER entrance and take care of things, but you stopped dead in your tracks noticing the little girl two beds down from Loki.

Anna.

.

“Are you sure about the bed?” The nurse asked as she came in to check on the detective.

“Yeah I’m sure, thank you though.”

“If you change your mind let me know.”

“Thanks.” You replied, thankful for her kindness and her gentleness with David.

She’s nice.

“So how long have you all been together?” She asked, her innocent effort to make small talk turning awkward quickly.

“Oh we’re not…uh..” you stuttered, feeling your cheeks flush

“Oh I’m sorry, I just thought since he asked for you..that..well you know...” She said, giving you a small smile.

“He asked for me?”

“Yeah. Last thing he said before he passed out.”

You couldn’t help the grin that plastered itself onto your face and those pesky butterflies that formed in your gut.

-

2:14 AM.

David stirred from his slumber, a groan escaping his lips. He cracked an eye open, the harsh hospital lights making him cringe.

Hey! He was alive!

He still had ten working fingers and toes. Arms and legs still worked. He was alive and intact, thankful he was in one piece. It was a real miracle he avoided a car crash on the way here.

His fingers brushed over bandages on his injury. In the back of his mind, David knew he’d end up with a massive headache, but every beat of his heart sending pain to his wound was a little much for him. He looked around for the call nurse button. His heart skipped a beat when he looked to his left.

“(Y/n)” he whispered. There she was asleep in the hospital chair. That familiar fuzzy feeling flooded his chest at full force. What was she doing here? How did she know he was here?

He chuckled slightly at the sight of her. How she was able to sleep in such a cramped position, he didn’t know, and how she was able to look so adorable doing so was also a mystery.

(Y/n) was only a moment’s distraction before the throbbing pain returned to his head, he smashed the call nurse button, the commotion awaking (y/n).

Startled, she shot straight up out of the chair. In the few seconds it took her to recognize that it was indeed Loki who pushed the call button and not that he was dying or some other medical emergency, her eyes grew wide and her smile widened.

“You’re awake!” You exclaimed.

“(Y/n), it was Holly!” Loki said, trying to sit up, a groan escaping his lips as he did so. “Where’s Anna? Did she make it? You gotta get the CSU out to the Jones’ right now- she shot me-“

“Loki everything’s okay!” You assured him as you scurried to his bedside, gently grabbing his shoulders and making him lay back down.

Classic Loki, mind always on the case even when he’s laying in the hospital.

“Anna made it, she’s gonna recover. I already took care of everything.” You said, sitting on the edge of the bed.

“You did? How did you-“

“You need to rest.” You interrupted him, smoothing out his blanket, your fingers brushed his- only for a moment.

In that moment, your eyes locked and only then did David truly take a deep breath to calm down.

“How did you know?” He asked.

“I didn’t” you explained. “I was searching for Dover and was worried he’d gone to Holly to do what he did to Alex. I passed you on the way and followed your car back here. The scene has been processed and everything. We can get your statement in the morning, Loki.”

David breathed out a heavy sigh of relief

“Thanks, (l/n) You’re the best.”

“Thanks.” You said softly, unable to hide your blushing at Loki’s compliment.

“Just tell me what happened.”

Before the two of you could exchange any more words, the nurse came scurrying in to the room.

She upped his morphine dosage and cleaned his bandage, then made sure the two of you comfortable. Once again you praised the heavens for her kindness.

Once she left, David went into detail about what happened.

You listened intently, hanging on to his every word.

When he finished, you dropped the eye contact you and David were holding.

“I’m sorry, I should’ve figured out that it was Holly Jones sooner, maybe you wouldn’t gotten hurt and-“

“Hey-hey. it’s not your fault.” he said gently, reaching out to take your hand.

Maybe it was the morphine or the near death experience, but either way David was feeling bold.

Your heart could’ve stopped in that moment, was now a good time to confess your feelings? Should you?

You opted to offer him a small smile instead, you figured he’d been through enough tonight.

“I’m just glad you’re okay.” You told him.

David caressed the back of your knuckles with his thumb sending pleasant chills through you.

“Me too.” He replied.

“So do you need anything? Anything I can do?” You offered.

“I keep a emergency bag in my desk-“

“Got it!” You enthusiastically hopped up, ready to help in any way you could, but David didn’t let go of your hand.

“Wait! Don’t leave. Please.” You stopped in your tracks, glad he wanted you to stay.

“Let O’Malley bring my bag. Please stay.” David begged, those sad blue eyes got you, but he didn’t have to beg. You’d do anything he asked of you.

You sat back down on the edge of the bed.

“Thank you.” He said, his eyes growing heavy.

“Get some rest ok? I’ll be right here.” You said, smoothing his blanket out once again. When you got up to sit back in the chair, you could feel David’s eyes on you.

“What?” You inquired.

“Nothin’.” He murmured, only flashing you a small smile.

You flicked the overhead light off so you could both rest.

You’d definitely tell him how you felt in the morning.

-

David’s eyes lingered on (y/n) as she got up to turn off the light. He should’ve told her how he felt right then.

“What?” She questioned, catching him staring.

David hesitated.

Just tell her, David. Come on.

“Nothin’.” He responded with a tired voice and heavy eyes. He dropped the conversation, opting to let her rest. They’d been through enough tonight. They’d talk in the morning.

-

You made a trip to the cafeteria for breakfast while David showered and changed clothes.

“Hey, hey, look at you, all clean and such.” You praised Loki, coming into the room with coffee and bagels.

David chuckled at your remarks.

“Thanks. Hey, look at this-“

You sat on the bed next to David, leaning in to see the paper.

Barry Milland AKA Alex Jones reunited with family after 26 years

“Poor Barry.” You mumbled.

Lokis eyes stayed glued to the paper, but yours wandered up to his wound.

He looked a lot better this morning and was doing much better.

“It’s rude to stare you know.” Loki teased, cracking a sly smile.

“Yeah, well, you look like shit.” You teased back, a cheesy grin plastered itself across your face.

You tried to hold in your amusement as Loki gave you a funny look, but couldn’t help it as giggles escaped your lips.

Then, Loki started laughing too.

It was a good laugh. A real one.

After laughing too long at your own joke, you looked over at David, only to find him already looking at you.

Loki’s expression was soft, his usual scowl nowhere to be found.

“What?” You questioned.

Loki, seemingly mesmerized by you, was at a loss for words. His brain? Total mush.

You noticed his eyes moving between your eyes and lips, searching for a sign.

You leaned in, closing the gap between you and the detective- Loki’s sign that yes you wanted this. You wanted this since the moment you laid eyes on him. Finally.

Your lips connected oh so gently but in a way that sent sparks down your spine. The kiss was soft and-

“Detective Loki? Agent (l/n)?”

The two of you pulled apart quickly

There was Grace, Anna, Joy and Nancy all standing at the door.

Loki cleared his throat and you both tired to act like she didn’t interrupt.

“I hope we’re not intruding.”

Loki shook his head and mumbled “no” even though they obviously were. But you knew it’s be good for him to see the girls.

It particularly warmed your heart hearing her refer to Loki as a hero.

They continued talked for a minute, well, Grace Keller did, Loki was a man of few words. You had the thought to weigh in, but you couldn’t concentrate, those damn butterflies in your stomach were doing somersaults.

“Thank you two, for everything.”

Grace said and turned to leave, but stopped at the door, breaking down in tears. She tried convincing you and Loki Keller was a good man, but you and Loki exchanged knowing looks.

Not prepared to face the awkwardness of the situation, you couldn’t bring yourself to look at the detective after she left.

Lucky for you, Loki suddenly grabbed your chin, tilting your head towards him and his lips captured yours in a hungry and needy kiss.

A stark contrast to your kiss a minute prior, fire burned through your chest as your lips moved in sync with David’s.

Loki moved his hand to cup your cheek and you absolutely melted into his touch.

You broke apart from David, breathless and with a smile on your face.

“Sorry I didn’t do that sooner.” David said, his thumb stroking your cheekbone,

“Yeah me too.” You replied, still high from the bliss of your first kiss with the handsome detective.

“Look, (l/n), I uh-“

“Hey..Call me (f/n)” you interrupted, sad that David removed his hand from your cheek.

“Okay, (f/n),” he said. “I’m uh not too good with feelings and shit, but I uh, I really like you.”

“I like you too.” You gushed.

Davids eyes lit up, almost like a kid on Christmas.

“You do?” He questioned.

“Yes David, I do.” You gave him a reassuring smile. “And that kiss told me all I needed to know.”

David blushed.

David Loki blushing, you didn’t think such a thing could happen.

“Glad you enjoyed it.” He said, a smug smile replacing his blushing cheeks.

Your turn to blush.

“How do you uh, feel about long distance? I mean I’ve never done it before- but I’d be down to..you know.

“Me neither, but I think we make a pretty good team, so I think we can make it work.”

Yes!! He wanted to make this work. Now the butterflies in your belly weren’t just doing somersaults, it was more like the butterfly Olympics down there.

“Yeah?” He questioned, giddy like a child.

“Yeah.” You assured him, giving his arm a squeeze.

The day shift nurse came in to finally discharge David. She sent him home with a dozen care info papers and aftercare instructions, none of which David was likely to read or follow through with.

“Let’s get you home.” You said. “At least for a bit.” You knew Loki would not stop searching for Keller Dover. He was determined, you’d give him that. You also weren’t gonna let Loki drive home by himself after being shot in the head, even though he insisted he was fine.

“Yeah. Home.” He agreed.

David’s thoughts began to race while you began to gather your things.

Loki was hopeful, for the first time in a long time. He had a feeling that, eventually, home would be wherever (y/n) was.

Hey I just found TIDFP not too long ago and I honestly love it so much. When do you think Chapter 14 will be put up?

Hey!!! I’m so glad you like it!!! I’m working on it currently, but I’ve hit a snag and re wrote the chapter and broke it into 2 parts cause it was just getting too long and too much was happening in one chapter. So 14 will be up soon! I know I said 14 would be the last chapter but I think it’s going to end up being 15 chapters total!

Thanks for checking in❤️

The Implicit Demand for Proof (5)

Pairing: detective David loki x reader

Summary: you, a forensic psychologist with the FBI get called in to investigate a high priority child abduction case in Conyers, PA. what happens when you catch feelings for detective Loki?

A/N- screaming a humongous hello to everyone! I am back after an unplanned hiatus, thank you all for being so patient and I hope you haven't forgotten me nor my series. I’m planning on publishing more regularly now. thanks again for your patience, I appreciate every like, reblog, message, and every one of you supporting me. Without further adieu, we have left detective Loki and y/n waiting way too long, here's TIDFP ch 5!

*Back at the police station*

“Great. Okay, yes. Thank you.” You hung up the phone.

You turned to look at Loki, he was hunched over in his chair, typing. Strands of delicious chocolate brown hair falling around his face.

“Hey, Loki?”

“Hm?” He hummed, not looking up from his computer.

“I just got off the phone with the family that’s selling that house in Fairmont Circle, they’re coming in for an interview later today.”

“Okay, good. Um..” he trailed off reaching for a file. “These are the photos of the RV and Jones.” He said finally looking over at you.

“Okay, thanks.” You said, rolling over in your office chair to take the file. 

When in his proximity you could faintly smell the cologne he had on; it was musky and woodsy, you guessed a cedar wood blend. It surprised you though, you didn’t know what kind of cologne you’d expect him to wear but it wasn’t that.

Not that you were profiling him, right? You’re simply making observations about his cologne. Yeah. It’s fine.

“I’m gonna go check this out.” Loki gestured to his computer screen. “There was another local boy who disappeared and I think it’s too similar to this case to be coincidental.” It was a local newspaper article, ‘Conyers boy disappears’ the title read; the article itself no more than a few paragraphs.

“Okay, keep me updated.” You said and rolled the chair the short distance back to your desk. “I’ll let you know how the interview goes.”

“Alright.” Loki replied bluntly and headed out go check up on his lead. He was a man of few words.

-

You had just finished interviewing the family that was selling the house when Loki walked past conference room to interrogation followed by detective Chemelinski. Probably something to do with Father Dunn since Chemelinski was on that case.

“Thank you for your cooperation, if you remember anything else, just give me a call.” You handed the wife your business card. “Officer Carter will show you out.” You explained as you held the door open for them.

You wandered back to your desk, hoping Loki got a better lead than you did, the family wasn’t that helpful. Finally, Loki came back into the bullpen looking irritated. Which, as you’ve come to find out, wasn’t all that uncommon.

“Anything new with the priest?” You asked, spinning around in your desk chair to face him.

He blinked hard once. twice. Three times then, shook his head ‘no’.

“He’s sticking to his story and Chemelinski’s wasting my time.”

He put his face in his hands and let out a long exhale.

After an awkward pause, loki spoke up.

“Whatcha got l/n?”

“The family is offering their full cooperation, but they’re not much help. They’re fairly certain they’ve seen the RV before, but didn’t recognize Alex Jones. They haven’t had anyone interested in the house since it’s been on the market, so no one’s been there.” You said. “Anyways, I was hoping you had something better than that.”

Loki leaned back in his chair, spinning around to face you. “Mrs. Milland thinks the same person that took her boy that took Anna and Joy.”

“That’s interesting.”

“yeah?”

“Well, you said that you thought the cases were too similar to be a coincidence, and Milland thinks it’s the same person. I think we should look into the possibility of this kidnapper being a serial offender.

“Really?” Loki questioned.

“Yeah, I hate to say I’ve seen a lot in my line of work.....anyways, I don’t want to cause unnecessary panic so keep this on the down low, plus we don’t have proof.”

“Right.”

“But I don’t wanna dismiss the idea. We need to look for patterns in past kidnapping cases and-“

Loki couldn’t help but tune her out as he was suddenly mesmerized by her little mannerisms. Like the cute way she gestured with her hands when she was speaking or the way she brushed the hair behind her ears.

Loki was suddenly aware of this..feeling inside his chest. It was fleeting. Gone as quick as it came.

“Loki?” You questioned, seeing him zoned out.

“Hm?” He quickly snapped back to reality.

“Can you take me to records so we can look at other cases?”

“Yeah.” He paused for a second. “Yeah this way.”

As you followed him towards the elevator, you noticed he still seemed spaced out. Which was odd for him.

“Loki...are you okay?”

“Yeah, yeah I just...” He began to panic a bit on the inside. “I’m fine.”

‘Your body language says the opposite’ you thought to yourself.

The elevator door opened before you could press the issue any further. The elevator ride to the 3rd floor took painfully long, almost an eternity of awkward silence between you and the detective. Neither one of you brave enough to break the silence.

“Wait here.” Loki stated as you both stepped off the elevator.

The records room was old and musty, with only a few windows. Kind of creepy too.

A few minutes later Loki came back with the files.

“There’s a desk in the corner over there so we don’t have to carry all these back to the bullpen. I’m going to follow up with father Dunn. Let me know what you think about the cases.”

“Ok I will, thanks.” You replied and held out your arms to take the boxes of files.

“Oh..Um, I’ll take these to the desk for you. They’re kind of heavy.” There was a short pause. “Not that I think you can’t carry them I just uh.. I’m sure you’re a very strong capable woman..I..I.. um…”

“Thank you detective.” You said with a polite smile, not wanting him to fumble over his words anymore.

You thought it was kind of cute, Loki, the hard, gritty detective stumbling over his words, worried about offending you in the slightest.

“I’ll let you know what I come up with.”

“Ok” Loki said and began to walk off. 

His footsteps suddenly slowed to a stop. He turned back to face you and cleared his throat. “Um, the vigil for the girls is tonight and I’m gonna go stake it out...you can come...if you want. I mean.. I-it may be helpful to the investigation.”

You smiled.

“Sure thing. But you’re buying the coffee.”

“Got yourself a deal.” He replied and you could have sworn you saw a hint of a smile on his face. Call if you need anything.”

“Thanks I will.” you replied. 

Back In the elevator Loki’s thoughts raced through his head: Did I offend her by insinuating she wasn’t strong enough to carry some boxes? I hope she doesn’t think that. She agreed to go to the vigil so that’s good, means she’s not too mad. what kind of coffee does she drink? Iced or hot? No definitely hot coffee, it’s freezing outside. I’ll have to bring my big coat..does y/n have a coat that’s warm enough? Maybe I should offer mine..no that might be weird, don’t make it weird David....

He quickly shoved all those thoughts and feelings in the back of his mind, like had done so many times before. He had work to do.

-

You sat in the chair across from Holly and Alex Jones, watching their body language, searching for any red flags or signs of abuse, anything that could help the investigation. 

“Sure you didn’t say anything to Mr. Dover in the parking lot today? Anything he could misinterpreted or-“ Loki asked, twisting his ring around his pinkie finger. 

He blinked hard once. twice. He was agitated, as were you. This visit was turning out to be a real waste of time.

“I was right there.” Holly said. “They didn’t say anything to each other. The man just attacked the boy.”

‘That’s interesting.’ You thought to yourself. 

Holly...she didn’t let Alex answer for himself. she didn’t look your or Loki in the eye, instead she looked towards Alex. Maybe she was signaling him to not say anything. Or maybe she really was just the concerned aunt. 

Loki asked to talk to Alex alone. 

He was pushing him pretty hard, but he wouldn’t budge. Maybe Holly threatened him. Or maybe he really didn’t say anything, and Keller only heard what he wanted to hear. It was hard to tell.

Having had enough to do with Alex Jones, you and Loki left the house. 

“Mr. Dover. This is detective Loki...”

‘Oh here it comes’ you thought as you walked towards the car, Loki trailing behind you. 

“Fuckin’ A.”

“He hang up on you?” You asked. 

“Yeah.” He sighed.

 “Figures.” You said as you got into the passengers seat. 

Loki started the car and backed out of the driveway, while you wrote down a few notes from what you observed. 

He turned to look out the back window, revealing more of his neck tattoo. 

You wondered where else he had tattoos. 

Your eyes drifted from his tattoo to his sharp jawline, which was peppered with stubble from not shaving. And those blue eyes you could totally get lost in and-

“It’s rude to stare, you know.” Loki said, the corners of his lips turning up into what was almost a sly smile. 

“I wasn’t staring at you. I was..” you began to panic slightly. “Looking out the window.” You countered, hoping Loki wouldn’t notice how embarrassed you were. 

“On my side of the car?” He asked, amused. 

“Yes.” you said, rather unconvincingly,

Loki figured you weren’t staring out his window, but he played along.

 “See anything interesting?” 

Yes, you. You thought to yourself

Wait a second...Was he... teasing you?

You stuttered over your words as your brain tried to make sense of Loki’s sudden friendliness towards you..if you could call it that. 

“Relax, Doctor. I’m just giving you a hard time.” He said, smirking- proof there was a sense of humor somewhere in his body.

 “You know you don’t have to call me that right? You can just call me l/n.”

“Okay, l/n, what does your, uh, behavior analysis tell you?” He asked, changing the subject.

“Well..Some kidnappers work as partners. Usually, there’s a submissive one- in this case would be Alex-who is usually has some sort of mental illness or a mental disability and usually related to the other one- the dominant one. In this case could be the aunt.” You explained. “Holly is definitely protecting Alex at all costs. But I had limited time and information, so overall it was Inconclusive.”

“W-what do you mean inconclusive?” He asked, more serious now.

“Profiling..It’s a process, Loki, not magic. I can’t just pull it out of my ass.”

“Right, right. Sorry.”

Wow, David Loki just apologized to you, you must be special.

“It’s alright.” You replied. 

“So what’s next?”

Loki sighed. “Go back and start from square one, you?”

“Like you, start from square one.”

He raised a curious brow.

“Well, Instead of profiling individual people, I’m going to look at the evidence, statements, and reports and use the information to form a description, or profile, of the unknown offender. From there we can see which suspects best match the description.”

“You can just...do that?” Loki questioned.

“Well..yeah.” You replied, as it were obvious. 

“Guess they sure as hell don’t call you doctor nothin’ then.”

You smiled, amused at Loki’s statement. 

“They sure as hell don’t, detective.” You retorted.

“You can just call me Loki.” He muttered, mimicking your tone from earlier

“Alright. Loki.”
