He made it to the precinct maybe two minutes late and entered the station to Fuller giving him a sour look but Matt deflected his annoyance with a calm smile that only made the older man grumpier. Oh well; Matt felt warm in that content way. He didn't think anything could take that away from him, not even the set-up for the watch and the raid.
They had a bit of a gang war on their hands. Or would have, except these were more kids than anything else and were likely scared shitless of what Matt had concluded to in fact be an accidental murder. But the kids from the other block needed revenge, so they were anticipating a whole lot of fighting going down later that night. The plan was to round them up before anything happened, question them all the next day, and sentence them accordingly.
It was clear pretty quickly that Matt wouldn't have a moment around nine, so he instead excused himself around seven thirty to give Molly and Mohinder a call. It was mostly for Molly, to let her know that he was still there and that that wouldn't change. Mohinder had gotten to see him a bit more than she had lately, after all. Just a few hours prior.
"I'll be real late", he said, gently chiding. "Listen to Mohinder, okay? Did you finish your homework?"
"Matt! Mohinder already asked me that", she answered in that way that had Matt picture her wrinkling her nose, and Matt grinned.
"Alright kiddo, I'll let him worry about that then. I'll try to see you tomorrow."
And to Mohinder, once the phone was handed over, "Yeah, still looks like it'll be a late one. I'll- see you when I get home?"
Home had gotten such a different but nice connotation too now, when it was all of their home and not a place they'd inherited from Mohinder's father.
