reposting a greentext I did on /uh/ onto here, Zag gets a christmas present

>Even on a night like this, Detective Wyld can never rest.
>Christmas Eve is transformed into a slog, while he pours his focus into the latest case.
>A string of robberies out of various drug production centres, with a particular focus on cocaine.
>One hell of a way to make a White Christmas.

>He stands by his desk, the dim ceiling light above illuminating a map of his city.
>He keeps his jacket on, the insulation for his office has never been up to snuff.
>You don't get paid for this kind of thankless work, after all.
>His eyes linger on the various red pins he's stabbed onto the places where the robbers have struck, a brief detail of their address and outward appearance written on a small piece of paper on top.
>In the bottom right corner are three photographs showing the masked men responsible.
>Similar builds, similar clothes.
>The only distinction are the colours of the masks which are red, green and white respectively.
>They truly are keeping on theme.

>If it wasn't a mockery of the celebration he helps to uphold, Zag would find it funny.
>Instead, all it does is make sure those rotten men find the comfort of a cold prison cell accommodating.
>His hand reaches out for a coffee cup that isn't there.
>He looks to where he aimed to see that's the case.
>Looking around briefly, Zag finds that it had been taken away.
>Must've finished it and Francine took it away.
>Did he call out for her to do so?
>He wasn't sure.
>The investigation was seemingly starting to take its toll.
>He thought it'd be a wise choice to ask her for a refill, his eyelids had been to drag ever so slightly.
>He walks to the office door and pulls it back.

>"Francine? Mind making a refill on my-"

>He stops himself when he sees Francince standing by her own desk across from him.
>A basket of chocolates was by her side, adorned with an assortment of flowers.

>A sly and genuine smile was on her lips and she had changed her dress into a more 'festive' outing with a warm green jacket and skirt with a white shirt underneath.
>She even wore red and white stockings, with a splash of red for her high heels.
>To top it all off, a little santa claus hat on the side of her head.

>"Don't get too excited now Detective, this is just to get into the festive season."
>Even with the slightly snide remark, her kind smile was still on her.
>She grabbed a hold of the basket and took it around to her front before holding it towards Zag.

>"...Where on earth did you get the chocolates from?"

>"I pulled in a favour or two, some outside help never hurt anybody."

>"Well...that's all well and good.
>Just leave it by the door and I'll have some whe-"

>"Oh no Detective, you're gonna have some time off."

>"There's important work to be done!
>You can't expect me to let these robbers off the hook for even a moment, right?"

>"I can expect you to have some kind of break.
>Have you looked at a clock within the past few hours?
>It's already Christmas Day."

>A small glance at the grandfather clock by the entrance proved her point.
>Zag Wyld had been mulling over the map for a while now.

>"It wouldn't kill ya to spend some time eating chocolates with me.
>Please?"

>Zag took one more look at his current case behind him.
>Then, he stepped through the door and closed it behind him.

>"Fine.
>Let's not waste more time than necessary though.
>Crime never rests, after all."

>"As ya wish Dectective.
>Oh and, one more thing...
>Haven't you forgotten something?"

>"Merry Christmas?"

>"Important to say and a Merry Christmas to you BUT, it's something else."

>"Hmm...Oh!
>Thank you for the chocolates, Francine.
>That... and a thank you in general.
>I wouldn't be the Detective I am today without your assistance."

>Francine hid the blush on her face by attending to the chocolates, bringing them out of the basket.

>"Just doing my job is all."
