Thread: The Punisher: Marked For Death (Athene & East)

Suki Kimura The exact same thoughts had gone through Suki's mind. Suffice to say, she was incredibly grateful, as well as fortunate. It would have been easy for Frank to turn a blind eye to her misfortune. His focus was on wrong doers, after all. But ... for whatever reason, he not only killed the guilty parties, but helped her in the process. Protocol insisted that had been the wrong thing to do. But .... was it really? Suddenly, she didn't know. She'd need to find and read up on Frank. Luckily, that was one of the many perks about being a cop. Suki definitely had access to those files. Add in her minor in Psychology and she felt confident a bit of reading would at least get rid of some of the confusion currently swimming through her head. Until then? Well, she just had to keep dealing with it. Alright. I'll ... I'll be in touch also. Her smile widened slightly as she watched Frank stand and take his water. Suki would quickly nod her head as he gave his last warning. Oh, no worries. I always consider myself as someone who's constantly targeted. Comes with the job ... Another curse in my life. Lucky me, eh? But the reminder's definitely appreciated. Talk to you later. As the door closed, Suki pulled her cell phone out of her pocket and glanced down at it. And ... she rose an eyebrow. There was no way that could be right ... was it? A quick walk around and examining other sources that had the time - microwave, other clocks, and more - said otherwise. Regardless, it had not felt like she just spent three hours speaking with Frank Castle. 1518 PM, to be exact. Tempus fugit, indeed, she muttered, chuckling softly. Suki ran her hand through her hair and contemplated. Briefly .... but long enough to adjust. Her typical schedule got a bit compromised, though certainly not in the worst of ways. After deciding she didn't want to get back in her car, she made up for that verdict by getting changed into workout clothes and going to her at-home gym. Fortunately, she'd created that exact room for days like today the ones where she didn't want to drive or use her car, regardless of why. It always helped her out ... especially when winter rolled around. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4th September, 2018 New York City, New York Exact Location NYPD Parking Garage 1857 PM EST Suki had known and realized this new partnership between herself and The Punisher would be difficult. It just hadn't dawned on her how truly challenging it would be until she tried to heed her own promise in asking for all of the teams that were sent out a few days ago, and whether any of them had any issues of their own. Naturally, Holland refused at first. But when Suki added in she was checking to help see about getting a lead regarding the 'mysterious sniper', he agreed. Not overly reluctantly, but enough that he stopped questioning why she wanted to know. It made sense to him, especially after she posed the question of if no one else had any unwanted visitors, then why was it only her and Jonathan who'd had to deal with a stranger intervening. The thought hadn't originally crossed his mind, apparently. As Suki entered her own small office and found all of the requested information, an exhausted smile crossed her face. Good. Finally, she could light that candle. ... Hopefully he hadn't thought she was trying to break her part of the deal. Granted, two days wasn't very long compared to two weeks or even months. But for some, it could be deemed a long period of time. Her head lowered as Suki glanced down at herself. Hmm ... later .... she muttered, opting to get changed when she returned home. Having been at headquarters since six in the morning, it was an understatement to say Suki was tired. No, she was exhausted . She wanted little more than to change out of her uniform and order some dinner. Pizza? Maybe. She'd think on it in the car. It wasn't like she wouldn't work out to help make up for taking a cheat day. And hell, she was overdue for indulging in a cheat day. The thoughts made her smile and helped her weary feet move slowly out of the headquarters and enter the parking garage. While using her right arm to keep the papers tucked firmly in place, Suki's left dove down and began reaching for her car keys. Last edited Mar 21, 2019
