"Look, that's all I could get! The man could only find those." She put her hands up in defense and Felix shook his head, dropping the papers on the desk in front of him. "I'm guessing Milo is hiding the rest for his protection."

"That damn sheriff can be so annoying." Felix put his hand on his head, scanning the papers and crumbling them. "I already know this about him!"

He spat the words out, flying off his chair and smacking the papers in anger. He looked back to his fearful sister who had rolled herself up. "I need to know where he lives! Who he is close to! Everyone knows this!"

"Yeah, and no one knows where he lives Felix!" Octavia yelled out, shaking her head, she shrunk back into the small seat. "That's all I could get-"

"Well if you want the drug. You have to get everything."

Octavia felt her skin crawl and her eyes shot open, same with her body as she lifted from the chair with her arms up. "That wasn't the deal Felix!"

"Deals change." Felix replied shortly, all smiles and joy gone off his face. He turned to his older sister. "Get it all, then we will talk."

~Formay, Police station~
The sheriff entered the station hours after the fire incident near Oakway. The men in uniform were exhausted, littered with ash and limbs shaking, they went to the changing rooms. Only Jamisen stopped to watch as his sheriff went straight to his desk.

He gulped before stepping forward. "Sir, you can look back after changing, you have cuts on your arms."

"I'll be fine." Milo grumbled out, his eyebrows deep in thought. Or what Jamisen thought was so, only the sheriff was angry. Pissed and disappointed in himself, he huffed while shoving papers around.

Jamisen sighed, turning to the doors of the back where lockers lay for the men in uniform. He left the blonde in his hustle, Milo didn't know what he was looking for, but he needed something to keep his mind off the hero. He couldn't help but feel angry at the man, he tried to be more open and willing to show him all the cases. Only Oxzy gave him nothing in return. The least he could do was listen to the officer, even if Milo decided not to be forceful anymore, he still was unnerved at Oxzy rejecting him.

How could he react any other way? He didn't like feeling angry at the beautiful man, so he focused on work in front of him. Focused his anger on Pierce's doing.

People in this town would look at Oxzy in frustration for the mess's and their source of anger instead of Pierce. The man who started it all. Milo didn't want to be like them, he had feelings for the hero, he wanted the man to trust him, to see him as different. So he had to be different.

He won't make the hero do things he couldn't control.

But he wanted something in return.

His hand stopped right above a paper he recognized. The pile that was on his desk was recruited to fill in Ronny's spot. He hadn't taken the time to look through all of them, he was too focused on Oxzy. Now that he wanted to distract his mind, the blonde sat down and looked closer at the information in front of him.

He pushed papers with low information away, sliding good looking people and a good background under his elbow. The rest had only two papers laid in front of him. He skimmed the information once again.

One man stuck out to him. His lips formed into a tight line, trying to figure out why the man looked out of place. Out of every other man on the papers beside him or under him, it was all in between. Not too much information, a good deed of background and a right amount of past experience.

It was the best option.

Milo realized he had to have the guy take the position, he shook off the thoughts that crawled within his mind saying bad things. He had to have someone take the place quickly, the station was losing concentration and now that Milo pulled his head back, trying to distract his mind on his duties. It all came clear to him.
