Alex shouldnt have been too surprised but he didnt expect Aries to storm out of the room quite like he did. He didnt show it but it was frustrating- perhaps this man had something the other victims didn't. A small piece that could help bring together a larger part of the picture. Progress was slow and Alex was growing impatient- this was a problem that needed to be swiftly dealt with before there were any more victims.<br/><br/>Maybe that's why the hospital made him take a couple days off. Even now he was working when he wasnt supposed to be. Aries was going to be an extended case, Alex could see that. Sighing, he looked over at Milo, who was cracking his neck and leaning forward in his seat.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>The yelling had been a nice treat to be woken up to. It pulled Milo from his unconcienceness upruptly and he opened his eyes, rubbing at the sleep and crust. He didnt know what time Aries finally gave in but it didnt matter much. Despite the rude awakening he felt more rested then he'd had in the past week and that had to count for something. It seemed like Aries was a pain in the neck sleeping or waking.<br/><br/>Speaking of which his neck literally hurt. Quite a bit. Leaning forward he popped it, wincing at the pain and looked over at Alex, furrowing his eyebrows.<br/><br/>"Jesus, what're you doing in my house?" He asked, not sounding too mad about it.<br/><br/>"Just a little wellness checkup. I was hoping to do a physical check up today but he's not quite receptive, is he?" Alex replied.<br/><br/>"Don't take it personally. Aries hates me too. Doesn't like being touched."<br/><br/>"Ah, you got a name from him?" Alex asked, intrigued. Milo shrugged.<br/><br/>"Yeah, like...recently. Took a few days. Just let him cool down a little, he doesn't trust anyone as far as I've seen. He's been opening up. A little....really slowly." Milo grumbled, glaring at the T.V as he reached for the remote and turned it off. Alex hummed thoughtfully, tapping a finger on his knee.<br/><br/>"Has he mentioned anything about his assault?"<br/><br/>"Hmmm, no. Been pretty tight lipped about it. I don't think right now is the right time to pry either... he's been difficult."<br/><br/>Another thoughtful expression from Alex. "If he's too much I could arrange for another home for him to stay in?" He offered.<br/><br/>"No! I couldn't do that to him. I feel like...I just I get the impression he's never really had stability and I know he seems abrasive but it's mellowed out a bit. I think he's getting used to it here and I think trying to establish some normalcy or familiarity would be good, you know?"<br/><br/>Alex nodded, getting up from his chair and grabbing his bag. "Well then, it's clear to me you are able to handle it. Please let me know if anything pops up that's cause for concern- mainly regarding if he tells you anything about his attacker. We're at a bit of a standstill and the investigation is stalling. More have been found in similiar circumstances."<br/><br/>Milo got up as well, looking surprised. "Oh shit...yeah, I'll let you know if I can get anything out of him." He said, shaking Alex's hand and wishing his friend goodbye. Milo stood at the door for a minute, stretching his tense muscles before grabbing himself a meal and found upstairs. He approached the bathroom door, the light shining undernieth and gave it a light knock.<br/><br/>"Hey, you okay in there? Sorry if Alex spooked ya, I didnt expect him to stop by." Milo said. He tried to be light hearted about it, his mood significantly better thanks to his rest.
