Patrol Car (FOR GRANT)

[jamesthorn]

It isn't a surprise when James is pulled off anything to do with the murder investigation that has taken over the department and the entire town. His best guess is that Grant got stuck with him to keep James out of the way and to keep him sane. So far, it isn't working. He feels like he is just twiddling his thumbs while whoever did this to his family is out there. He wants to take his gun and do a little head knocking because that's the only way you can get answers from some of these people. That's probably why he wasn't allowed to drive either. He slides down in his seat, glaring straight ahead. There isn't much going on around town, and he hates this.

James scowls slightly at the lunch in Grant's hands. Alex is a food menace that needs to be stopped, he thinks. Walking over to the clearing in front of the car, he eyes the targets Grant laid out. They are rather simply constructed, but he lets Grant's ribbing slide. Instead, he aims at the left target and pulls the trigger a couple of times. He manages to hit the circle. It's a little off-center, but he feels better. "Please. What image?" he scoffs but then he smirks. He resets his gun, aims, and fires.

"Your lovely 'his face will break if he smiles' image." Grant now had a child-size bag of fruit snacks and nodded toward something beyond the targets. "Got some good old fashioned empty cans set up further out. If you feel like a challenge." He shrugged. "Or maybe you're chicken, I don't judge."

"What?" James looks at him. "I smile. I smile all the time," he says, turning back to the field. "I don't think you can judge anyway. Seeing as how your a terrible shot."

"Your smile scares small children." Grant looked offended. "Hey, just because some of us can diffuse a situation without shooting at something doesn't mean I'm a bad shot."

"Hey I looked after two brothers and a sister. Kids love me," James protests. If anything about his family is true, it's that James looks after his siblings.

"Alright, alright, I'll give you that one." He shifts on the cruiser. "How are they doing?"

[jamesthorn]

James shrugs, taking another round of shots at the target. "They are dealing," he tells Grant. "You know at this point deaths in our family are just another day at the office."
