One thing I miss about working with B: access to shit. This whole system I've got going - namely, the one where I don't have access to GCPD files unless I ask Oracle really nicely - is getting old. Like, really old. And old is never a good thing when your cases are time-sensitive. Like, oh, the possibility of kids being "exported" from the docks.
But I can't get the files I need, because I don't have B's connections. Not that he ever answers my calls, but... well, he's not answering my calls. My normal go-to in this situation is "blow shit up," but I don't want to hurt any bystanders, mostly because they're kids, and blowing them up isn't saving them.
This sucks.

I appreciate the concern, I just... okay, from my side of the equation here. Not to be a downer.
The way I grew up, death was kind of a daily possibility. Crime, overdose, hell, I knew a guy who freaking managed to get a case of flesh-eating bacteria after slicing himself up on an old fence trying to steal some copper wiring from a construction site.
Now, I have a disease that, while yes, easily managed with drugs can be held at bay for a long time, is potentially and eventually fatal. The concept of mortality is something I have to think about and cope with a lot more than other people my age. And, honestly, having an organized plan or fifteen in place in case of things going horribly wrong is a coping mechanism.
As is dark, dark humor, if you get me there.
