Things moved quickly once the final would-be buyer left the sauna and the last of the tension with them. Falynn called in the local police forces who likely wouldn't have lifted a finger to investigate this whole mess without Sector Ranger involvement. Having caught criminal activity nearly red-handed, the CBPD had to act or end up with mud on their face. Poetic justice for both sides of the coin. All the huffing and puffing by their short little captive easily faded into background noise as paced about the room in his own thoughts. It had taken a lot for this whole operation to come together. For a rival on Cantonica to turn on the defective medpack dealer and provide reliable information. The Sector Rangers to accept the evidence and manage a successful stake out. Finding the secret entrance to the sauna and catching the seller in the act. Avoid any bloodshed or otherwise failure and finally rely on Canto Bright police to handle the rest. Corran turned at the hip to look at Ranger Tikarsis. They really had threaded the needle on this thing.
Dark-caped officers began their quick work at the scene. Taking evidence, roping off the scene, interviewing the suspect, and also the two Rangers. Corran, for his part, gave them all the details of his experience in a rigid and methodical manner. He was sure not to leave anything out, lest the CBPD get an excuse to let the case fall through the cracks on a technicality. The blond young waited by the door for his partner on the mission after all was handed over. He cocked an eyebrow after seeing Falynn lean over and whisper something to their detained criminal. It looked personal but perhaps none of his business. Soon they were striding past guarding police officers in silver helmets and beyond the holo-tape. A case closed.
With duties fulfilled, the male ranger felt a bit adrift as the pair walked past ogling onlookers on their way back to their temporary quarters. It had been quiet for awhile. That is, until Falynn spoke once they were beyond earshot of the crowds. Her gratitude was appreciated but unnecessary. "No need to thank me," he deflected, "you were the one who found the secret door. All I did was provide back-up." She really did perform extraordinarily tonight. Ranger Tikarsis had been a dutiful officer of the law; cunning, stoic, methodical, thorough, and disciplined. An inspiring ranger. But beyond that, she had been a good friend. They had covered so much in their... questions and yet remained cool-headed and alert. Although they had worked together incidentally in the past, this whole evening felt like it cemented their association. Though her next question caught him a bit off guard.
A brief double-take visually expressed how unexpected her inquiry felt. Corran really didn't know how to answer. He hadn't thought that far ahead to be honest. In a rather surprising display of casualness, the usually serious man tucked his hands into his jacket pockets. "I..." The blond youth began slowly, "... have no idea." Playful blue eyes swiveled to look at Falynn's own dark brown. "Why? Are you asking me to come with you on a night on the town?" He knew that likely wasn't the case, but there wasn't a reason he would say no either if it turned out to be real. The case had been taken care of speedily and unexpectedly. All that was left was spare time and wherever the night took them.
