They'd meet in the morning before their shift. To have a smoke, and check in.
"You hear any?"
"Danny, nothing."
"Me neither." The kid said and looked away.
"You, think?"
"No, no way, nothing happened. This is how you do it." Blayne said, and made a motion with his hand going up and then down.
"When things get hot you let them cool off. Its just what you do. Don't worry."
He always said this, don't worry. Then the kid would catch him pacing later. Looking worried, on his face concerned.
But the kid didn't tell him this, he was really trying not to worry himself.
He lost wait. He didn't tell Blayne this, even though Blayne said make sure to tell him everything as it could all be signs of stress. His words still in his ear. "You just gotta keep calm, when your stressed they'll get you."
He didn't like thinking of them or they.
He thought about it too much, so much so that it became not him that did these things. Like there was no way he tossed a body in the river. Almost every night he'd wake up sweating and he'd try to check that it wasn't real. But Danny's number would still be in his phone, and he still had scratches on his arm.
