"Now that's a scary thought. Having all of the computers over there have something wrong with them all at once and having fifty different people demand that I see what's wrong with their computer right now." He shook his head. "I think I'd suddenly get sick and have to take a few days off just to make sure I managed to hang onto my sanity." He drained the rest of his root beer and found himself surprised that he had not gotten paged since it always seemed to happen as soon as he sat down for any sort of break.

"If they ever did that, this place would be short a techinician and a sketch artist because I'd be gone before they could finish laughing." There were other places he could work- places that paid better- and he didn't think he would have too much trouble getting a job at one of them should he ever find himself needing to. Despite all of the stuff he put up with, though, he liked working at the station and it would take something big to make him actually consider leaving the job.

Flynn gave a slight shrug. "I've never really thought about giving freelancing a try. I suppose the pay is probably better, but so long as I can afford rent, food and Mica her catnip, I don't really need that much any way." Growing up with so little had taught him how to survive on just the basics, but what he made allowed him to have a bit more than just those basics and he was happy with that.

He nodded. Flynn had heard that freelancing could bring in some pretty decent money after a while, but he had never bothered to try it out. He had a fairly good thing going with the station- even if he did want to smack someone upside the head on occasions- so the thought of actually trying something else out had never really crossed his mind.

Flynn checked his watched before glancing at his empty root beer can. If he got another and someone came looking for him, he would have an even more legitimate excuse to look exasperated. “Want anything?” he asked, getting up and throwing the empty can away before digging through his pockets for more change. It was a question he would have asked of anyone, even the computer murderers of Homicide. He knew that he never talked much to anyone and he was perfectly fine with that. At least if he never talked, there would be no reason for someone to talk back, and he did not mean in that nice, conversational way.

"Not a problem," Flynn told him as he fed the last of his quarters into the soda machine and pushed the button. The root beer rattled out and he put it on the table before heading to the coffee pot. Carrying two cups of coffee was a two handed job, especially since he had a thing against wearing coffee and, with the luck he sometimes had (not that he was clumsy, he just had rotten luck at times) that was a very real possibility if he tried carrying them both in one hand.
Pouring the coffee, he returned to the table, putting the cups down before Luke and settling himself back in his seat. Flynn was more than happy to help when someone needed it. Unless it was something as stupid as coffee ending up in a computer or an issue like he had dealt with in Homicide earlier. Then he had to wonder if maybe people were just trying to make his life difficult.

Flynn gave a nod as he popped open the root beer. "The place could always be worse. As it is, it's pretty much a cake walk, even if I do tend to complain about some of the stupid things that can happen to the computers around here and the apparent incompetence of their users." He shrugged. "All in all though, things are pretty good."

"You've just got to take the bad with the good." His pager went off and he gave a weary sigh as he took it in hand and checked it. "And that'd be part of the bad. What is it with Homicide and computers?" He put the pager away. "They can wait until I finish my root beer, but if I got back up there and see another computer in a hundred different pieces, I might have to tell them what to do with it." Not that he'd actually ever do such a thing. It was just an entertaining thought.

Continued from: Church of Our Lady; Main Entrance
For the fifth consecutive time, Roxanne jerked herself away. A few sheets of paper from that night's case scattered, spilling across the table and onto the ground. She groaned, picked up the dropped ones, then settled her forehead on the edge of the table. This was getting her nowhere. Trace had their blood samples, hair samples; the digital card on her camera had been turned in. Of course, that left the paperwork. The dull, painful, tumor-inducing paperwork.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the small couch situated near the window. Surely, a ten-minute catnap wouldn't hurt anything; the paperwork wasn't due until noon tomorrow, anyway.
Even though the cushions were worn and smelled vaguely of cigarette smoke, they were terribly comfortable. With one arm thrown over her eyes to block out light from the window, Roxanne finally let herself relax. She would be out ten minutes, at the most...

Of course, as wakefulness began to return, Roxanne naturally wondered why her pillow seemed to be cold. And hard. And why the hell did her back hurt so much? With a groan, the CSI tried to roll over to make herself more comfortable.
And tumbled straight out of her chair.
Her oath was embarrasingly loud, but Roxie was too bewildered to really care. She blinked a few times, still seated on the floor and tried to get her bearings. Then she remembered where she was and what she had been doing before she dropped off to sleep. Dammit, she'd only meant to take a quick catnap.
"Ohhh, fuck all," she groaned, irritated. This was the second time this week that she'd dropped off like this...

Awkward.
The flustered blonde managed to pick herself up off the floor with a mutter of, "M'fine, thanks," and straightened herself out as best she could; adjusting her hair and what not. Perhaps she should have listened to Peter when he'd suggested that she leave the paperwork for later.
"Case report for that church murder," she explained with a sheepish smile. "Chief wants the paperwork on his desk by noon, so I figured I'd just get it done and..." When she managed to stop her rambling, she laughed at herself with a shake of her head. "Guess I was more tired than I originally thought."

"Or I could go find a nice, cozy desk to snooze under," she shot back with a light smirk. "Honestly, I've been here all night...that's probably my cue to head home."
A yawn came on suddenly, but Roxie, too tired to stifle it, merely let it come and stretched with it before she moved to collect her things. "But no. I'll finish this, get it to Boss-man, then run downstairs to see what trace has pulled up from the blood samples..." Roxie trailed off with a groan and looked to her colleague with a light sigh. "Remind me why I requested graveyard shift again?"

"Ah...good point."
Another yawn and Roxanne shuffled over to the percolator to start a fresh pot of coffee. Real coffee, mind you; not that burnt crap that the dweebs in homicide always had going. Unlike Ben, Roxie was a big fan of the stuff. Her partner often joked that, when she started winding down on the job, there would be 'too much blood in her caffiene system.' Peter definitely would have been right, in this case.
"I'm tellin' ya, Ben," she began, jumping right into shop-talk. It was all she knew, really. "This is one weird case. First off, it's in a church for crissake -- in the confessional. I've seen some weird shit, but this is just plain creepy."

"Female, dark hair, Caucasian," Roxanne droned, ticking off the features that she remembered. Briefly, she frowned and ammended herself. "Freakishly Caucasian, apparently. Said the woman was like creepy-pale."
A shrug, and she continued, "Anyhow, I think Detective Rivera -- the younger one -- was chasing the woman down when I got there, but she got away. Which is odd, 'cause...well, it's Rivera. He's no old timer; definitely fit enough to chase down some creepy broad, right?"
Is he ever fit...ugh, not the time or place, Roxie. Casework, think of casework.

Roxie shook her head. "I don't have the photos with me right now; they're down the hall with Jenkins."
The nightshift CSI sat herself down and promptly felt groggy all over again. She yawned, widely, then scrubbed a hand over her face in a crappy attempt to force wakefulness to the surface. Stupid nightshift hours, messing with her internal clock.
"I just don't get it," she groaned. "Murder is supposed to be simple; cut and dry. Culprit kills, culprit leaves evidence, we find evidence, we find culprit. Not that difficult."
