Gavin laughed lightly a Park’s comment about cats and knitting. The man had an easy sense of humor that Gavin appreciated, and though he did not often work with Dr. Park, he always enjoyed their run-ins. 

“Yes, even when humanity is on its last legs, some people [i]still[/i] don’t like us.” Gavin said, slipping the comment in after the introductions between Abby and Park. 

He felt Abby squeeze his shoulder, and he looked up in time to see the wink and the smile she offered. His blood pressure, which had risen markedly during the brief exchange with Hobs, was rapidly subsiding beneath the blue-eyed attention of the sergeant. He was disappointed that he wasn’t going to get to pass the lunch hour with Abby alone, but even so he was happy to simply have the pleasant company. Gavin let out a contented sigh, and offered a sideways grin of his own.

“I’m famished,” he said, slapping at his knees before standing. “We’ll join you, Abby. I’m not quite sure what I’m hungry for yet though, and there’s certainly no sense in wasting an opportunity to raid the pantry, am I right Park?”

Gesturing for Abby to lead the way, Gavin fell into step between his two companions. As they made their way towards the kitchen area, Gavin took on a thoughtful expression, and his hand rose to his lips in a gesture of contemplation.

“This may be a strange time to ask,” Gavin said, looking over to Dr. Park, “but it just came to me. The man who perpetrated the crimes during Second Shift, did he have anything highlighted in his file that I missed?”

Gavin opened his hands, offering that he was truly extending the question to both Abby and Park. “I mean, it is hard to believe that a man willing to commit such heinous acts wouldn’t have [i]something[/i] noteworthy in his history. I looked through his medical file this morning, and I couldn’t find anything I would say could be counted as a red flag.”

Gavin shrugged. “Sorry, I don’t mean to start off a meal on such grim conversation, but it just seemed odd to me. Did you have him as a patient, Park? Ever speak to him at all?”
