    He keeps his eyes on the road, expression dark. It's not a long drive to his apartment.

    Given everything, she might suspect that that's deliberate. He sure doesn't spend much time there.

    She steps out quietly, and Scott steps away from his car, shoving his phone into his pocket.


    If he notices her eyes are red, he says nothing.

    Yosef nods at Scott, and says nothing about the delay. "... There's not much to move," he says, as he lets them inside. His apartment is at the other end of the building. The hall smells faintly of marijuana and damp.

    "....are we billing the company for this?" He asks as they walk.

    "...I... I assume so. Right?" Abigail glances around uncertainly.

    "Yes. Feel free to order any food or drinks you want." He opens the door to his apartment, stepping inside.

    He wasn't joking about not having much to move.

    It's a studio apartment, mostly bare. Bed, desk, laptop, dresser. A few cardboard boxes in the closet, like he never actually unpacked, when he moved in.

    The two look around as they step in, then back to Yosef.

    "... the boxes should go to storage. I will... pack what I need. ... the rest..." He pauses, not looking at them. "I don't care."

    "...are you sure?" Scott asks.
     
  10. Yosef Douglas

    "... I'm sure. None of it matters anyway." He shakes his head gingerly, hair falling into his face, and starts packing clothes.

    "...." Scott shoots Abigail a look, then grabs her arm. "Grab the boxes, we'll put them in my car. C'mon."

    She hesitates, then hurries after him.
     
  13. Yosef Douglas

    ... Going to peek inside?

    ...once they get to the car, Scott does, much to Abigail's horrified squeaking.
     
  15. Yosef Douglas

    The things inside are cluttered and rumpled, like they were shoved inside in a hurry. Photos, letters, a few articles of clothing. Detritus. It looks like a haphazard mixture of childhood mementos, military detritus, and the heirlooms and cheap jewelry of ... well. Someone Yosef's parents' age, probably.

    The boxes are dusty. Like they haven't been touched in years.

    "....what a load of crap," Scott mutters, shoving the box into the car. "...he really doesn't give a shit about anything but work, does he?"

    "...don't be mean. He's going to try and help us all. Just. Don't be such a dick, Scott..."

    "I'm not being a dick, I'm being a fucking realist here, Abigail. This is fucked and we can't even wiggle out of it." Scott slams the hatchback of his car closed.

    "...well. At least we aren't going to be alone?" She tugs on a lock of her hair.

    Scott turns, giving an exasperated sigh. "...yeah, but that's not getting us further, here."
     
  17. Yosef Douglas

    By the time they come back up, Yosef has a duffel bag and a backpack sitting on the bed.

    "This is all I need. I've called the landlord."
     
  18. Scott Sakach

    "...you want us to just stash your stuff in one of your apartments, then?" Scott asks bluntly. "It won't take up any space."
     
  19. Yosef Douglas

    "... Please. I'd rather not have it... damaged."

    "... Well. Let's go, then."

    "...what. No battle plan for dealing with the crazy vivisection harpy?" Scott scowls.
