As the movie ended, Alex looked over at Riley, seeing her asleep he smiled, the light danced over her face lighting her up in a way unlike the natural daylight. He removed her shoes and lay down , curling up beside her resting one arm over her side he closed his eyes and tonight he slept.
He had left Riley's early, before she had woken up. He'd left her on the couch, sleeping peacefully. "Hey Archer." Alex chirped as he entered his apartment, Archer had cut him a set of keys so that he didn't have to call to get up (considering the buzzers to Archer's building were disconnected). "Any news?" He asked, not expecting much if anything, it had been this way since they got back into the city. He looked over at Archer sitting by his desk, his eyes adjusting to the dimness of the room, Archer had taken the liberty of blacking out the windows, doing it on the cheap with dark bin bags. Alex smirked, "Paranoid much?" He teased.
"There is news actually." Archer uttered, ignoring Alex's last comment about paranoia, "I've managed to pull a trace to one of your 'siblings'."
"...And?" Alex asked, his heart pounding with anticipation.
"She's here... In Seattle." Archer replied, turning away from his computer monitor and looking at Alex for the first time since he had entered the apartment, smiling a sense of achievement overcoming him.
"Seattle...? Here?" Alex asked almost in disbelief.
"Yes, laser surgery records show that a girl, twenty-one had an appointment to get a tattoo removed, bar code." Archer turned back to his computer and brought up some more records. "She was two-seven-five series, like yourself at least as far as I can tell. They don't have any pictures only text I'm surprised that the people after you haven't thought about hacking into records like this. Getting the tattoo removed seems like such an obvious choice."
Alex brought his hand up to touch the base of his neck, running his fingers across the ink that labelled him as property. "Maybe because hacking is illegal, Archer." He joked.
"Maybe." Archer replied with a snicker before closing the documents he had open and wiping them from his computer. "So what are you going to do then?" He asked.
