Louis shakes his head. "I don't think my body could withstand that level of anxiety."

"That's the problem Raph, we're not responsible for what happened. I am." The slightest hint of guilt tinges his voice. "It doesn't matter if Drake or Yuki were with them, they weren't ready."

"You know, that explains a lot." Louis says, nodding in feigned enlightenment.

The team lead offers Jake mock salute. "Guilty as charged."

"Don't mention it. Make yourself at home, Mimi will take care of ya while you're here. You should probably take the day to unpack and make yourself familiar with the base. We've got a busy weekend ahead of us."

"It's a souvenir." Louis shrugs nonchalantly. "Figured that John or the doctor over at East Side would want to take a look at it."

"You got it. I think I'll make my way South Side after lunch."

Louis pulls out his phone and finishes typing up a pair of texts, sending them out as he heads for the lab.

Hey Big Red, I know you're probably lights out right now but I wanted to see if you were free to talk sometime this weekend?

You can text me back whenever you wake up, no rush.

It's Friday and being the accomplished detective that I am I couldn't help but notice that both you and I are free (later) today... Any plans?


Laboratory

The heavy metal door to the laboratory slides open allowing Louis entry as he approaches the giant white board. "Mimi, what can you tell me about Jack Hamilton? Known Crown drug dealer, currently listed as living in the South Side of the city. Zion Heights Road I think?"

The recess lights lining the ceiling come to life in succession revealing the form of a slumbering mechanical hound on the far side of the room. It's left ear swivels towards Louis but the beast doesn't move and inch.

"Hey Louis, thanks again for this man. I owe ya."
Louis turns his head to look at the laboratory door as it slides back to reveal Keith. "Don't thank me yet. There's no guarantee that I'll even be able to fix it. Do you know what's wrong with it?"
