The Legacies (Sequal to The Unrated)

Quinn

The next day, Quinn found himself asleep in his car. He yawned and noticed papers lying all over the car. "How long was I asleep for?"

"You slept for seven hours. I tried to wake you, but you were unresponsive. I recommend you go up to your apartment and get proper rest," Joey said, unlocking the car.

Quinn rubbed his eyes and pushed the door open. After crossing the street, Quinn held his ID to the scanner, and with a beep, the door opened.

"Hey, Quinn! Lucian, you look awful," Alice said, closing her mailbox.

"I slept in my car," Quinn said.

"You do have a bed, right? Alana must have you on a really tough case. I'm free at the moment. Do you need help?"

"Actually, I could use some help. I need you to look into Xavier for me. I got a lot on my plate right now. Anything you can find would be a big help," Quinn said, pushing the elevator button.

"Xavier? Why?"

"Someone brought something to my attention. I don't have time right now. Please, Alice."

"I don't know what you're up to, but fine. I'll help. I'm the best evidence gatherer we have."

"I think that's called being an investigator. Thanks, Al," Quinn smiled, getting onto the elevator. He pushed the fifth and third floors. "I need a good nap. Whatever you can find, just email it to me."

The elevator stopped at floor three. "It won't take me long. No matter how secretive Xavier was, he can't hide info from me." Alice winked at him and got off the elevator.

Quinn rode the elevator up to his apartment and opened the door. A large dog ran straight for him. Knocking him back into the hallway. "Yuri! Down boy!"

Yuri kept licking Quinn's face and slobbering all over his shirt.

"I know. I missed you too. I'll take you out for walks later. Let's get you some food. Okay?"

Yuri barked at him and ran back inside. Yuri jumped up on the bean bag chair and curled up.

"I'm tired too, Yuri. Here." Quinn put some food in Yuri's bowl. "I bet you're hungry."

Yuri looked at the bowl and sneezed.

"I'll take that as a no. It's here when you want it. I'm going to bed. You're in charge, Yuri." Quinn rubbed Yuri's head and walked into his bedroom. Quinn saw that it was close to ten in the morning. "If I sleep now, I can be productive around three. Maybe."

Yuri nudged the door open with his nose and jumped on Quinn's bed. Laying beside him. "Hey, who said you could come in here? Bad boy." Quinn rubbed Yuri's back. "You're lucky you're cute. You don't think my boss was hiding something? Do you, Yuri?"

Yuri sighed.

"Hmm, you do make a good point. Maybe you should be the investigator." Quinn turned over, facing the window. He saw Skycars flying across the sky. "What if she was telling the truth? What if Xavier was hiding something? Something big. Then there's Hunter. He's hiding something too. Clearly."

Quinn felt Yuri's paw on his back. "You're right, Yuri. I need to figure this out. I'll find something. But first, sleep." Quinn closed his eyes and was asleep instantly. He and Yuri enjoyed a nice nap together,
