ROMY awoke next to Adrian, her naked body below his. "Fancy seeing you here, gorgeous," Adrian smirked at her, kissing her tenderly. Romy smiled, blush creeping up on her face. "Get dressed. I'll hand you some stuff when we get inside so they don't instantly know."

Romy and Adrian got changed, walking into his home. The cold air bit Romy, and she changed into sweatpants and a t-shirt of his. Adrian grinned, "I think this is your best look." He complimented.

"I'm going to go to Chris's, okay?" Adrian looked at her, now in his uniform.

   "Have fun." Romy kissed his cheek. "I'll probably be with Harcourt or something." Adrian left, and Romy walked over to the store. "Mornin', everybody!" She smiled.

   "Morning," Adebayo smiled, turning to Harcourt as they had a silent conversation. At the shake of Harcourt's head, Adebayo became stiff. Murn turned to his phone, accepting the call that came in.

   "Police are going to surround Peacemaker's house," Murn told them, quickly trying to dial Chris. Romy lounged at her desk, her eyebrows raised. "Fucking answer!" He shouted into his phone.

   "Have you tried Vigilante?" Economos suggested.

   Murn dialed the number, copying it from Romy's phone. "Vigilante. Have you seen Peacemaker?" The phone tickled noise in response, "If you're at home, get the fuck out. The police are going to be there any second with an arrest warrant." Murn explained, shutting off the phone. "Finally."

   Romy leaned back, moving her legs off of her desk and planting them onto the ground stiffly. "Does anyone know of Peacemaker having a diary?!" Murn exclaimed as he walked back into the room, off of the phone with his mystery man.

   "Hey, you gotta diary?" Harcourt asked as the two walked in.

   "No."

   "They found one in your trailer."

   "Bullshit. I got a notepad, but I barely ever use it." Chris scoffed. "But fuck that, we got a bit of an issue."

   "We know. You're a wanted man."

   "Not that. Goff got out."

   "Goff as in... Senator Goff?" Romy asked.

   "Yeah, we kept Goff," Adrian said.

   "YOU KEPT GOFF?!" Murn exclaimed.

   "Because Peacemaker has masculinity issues. It's like a knuckle-dick's tiger." Adrian pressed his lips together with a shrug.

   "I didn't trust you guys, and I kept him because I wanted answers," Chris argued. "And I knew he wasn't gonna get out."

   "But then he got out and took over an oriental woman." Adrian continued.

   "Asian," Chris corrected.

   "I'm pretty sure she was oriental."

   "You're not supposed to say oriental anymore, just Asian."
