Just a Hunch

Derek was only working off of a hunch at this point, but it was more than he had acquired in months. He of course had been able to cross off rat shifters and already known face claims for human shifters as possible candidates, but that had still left the field of possibilities pretty wide. He finally had found someone who could possibly be D.W. He had been working relentlessly to find the man that had broken his tail, and now he could be close. He knew he had to be careful, and he knew he might find out his hunch was wrong, but he was willing to take the risk. He approached the person carefully, hoping to be able to strike up a conversation. He gave a polite smile. “Hi. I was looking for some company and wondered if you might be up for a small chat.”

Jax flashed him a smile and made to leave the room but stopped at the door. “Anything new on Vincent or D.W?”

Derek frowned at his question. “Vincent is as elusive as ever. The minute I think I’ve got something, it turns out to either be nothing or I’m too late. I haven’t heard a thing on D.W. yet.”

“If! Not if, when, you have to speak it into existence. Unless you have commitment issues or something? How old are you again?“

Derek rolled his eyes but chuckled. “Old enough to know how to be practical.”

Louis shook his head, “You SKIN guys are something else.” He teased while looking back at his file. "Hey, you don’t happen to be following some guy named Patch, do you?”

He raised a brow. “No, but I have heard that name on occasion.”

  “So how long are you here for?”

Derek frowned slightly and looked down at the ground. He always hated telling her he was only on a short break. “Just for a little bit, then I’ll be back to work.”

[derekmartin]

louismartovet​:

“I’m sure there’s a couch to crash on that’s free somewhere.”

He shrugged. "Rather not get too comfy. Don't want to get lazy."

[derekmartin]

hello-helo-adama​:

“That’s good and everything in CTRL is good too. Personally, I’m in a group chat war with my sibling and future in laws about wedding plans.“ Looking around Helo staged a fake whisper. “Never have a big wedding. Especially if you both have large families and different traditions. Just elope and deal with their crap later.“

Derek laughed. "I'll keep that in mind if I ever do get married."

[derekmartin]

imtheonejaxsonidris​:

“Nah. Breaks are for people in NERVOUS or CTRL. We’re not that lazy.“

He laughed. "That is true."

[derekmartin]

imtheonejaxsonidris​:

Jaxson chuckled and shook his head, knowing exactly what Derek meant. “Feel free to doze off and ignore me or grab something to eat before heading out again.”

Derek smiled a little and nodded. “I may wind up doing both. I should probably take more breaks.”

Louis paused and looked up from the video surveillance he was reviewing. “You look beat. Is this your first time back from being shifted in a while?”

Derek looked over and nodded. "Do you even have to ask? It's the same routine as always."

[derekmartin]

hello-helo-adama​:

“What’s up, broski? I haven’t seen you all week. Have you been ignoring me ‘cause I totally feel like I’m being ignored. That’s alright though. I’m good. Are you good?“ Helo rambled, not looking away from his phone as he used both hands to send off a speedy email. “Hmm. Hey man what’s up?” Helo smiled at Derek, not realizing he had already asked the same question before.

Derek chuckled at his rambling. "I'm good. Just came back for a quick break. What's going on in your world?"

[derekmartin]

imtheonejaxsonidris​:

“Oh. Hey,“ Jax blinked when he entered the room and noticed Derek there. “What’s up man? Anything good happening out there?“

Derek looked over and gave his superior a smile before sighing. "Not really. Looking for a shifting face in a sea of faces that sometimes seem to shift themselves."

[derekmartin]

spygolden​:

   “I totally get that.But I’m glad that I got to see you now.”

His smile brightened ever so slightly. "Yeah? It's good to see you, too."

[derekmartin]

spygolden​:

“Hey.” She smiled when she spotted Derek. “Long time no see.”

He looked over and smiled a little, hiding the nerves that always haunted him when she was around. “Yeah. Been busy looking for my shifters.”

Taking a Break

It was one of the rare occasions that Derek took a break from seeking his human shifters. He only planned to take a small break before getting back out and searching.
