"I haven't heard anything from the radios, Straud," Holmes was talking with the Chief Inspector, on video call, in his home office. "He should have been caught or escorted to the station."

"You're worried about him, aren't you?"

"Of course I am."

"Are you worried about him still running?"

"What he might do so he could stop running."

Straud was silent.

"Why does it matter?" Straud asked.

"What?" Holmes turned to his boss with a furious look.

"If he were ended, that would be it. Case closed."

Holmes stood up and made his chair roll away. His face was straight, but clearly with fury. His boss, knowing what usually follows when James gets angry, adjusted himself in his seat.

"He has too much to live for, Straud. He could repent of everything and live a happier life than now, instead of running from his guilt. He can't go back on the decisions that a young, foolish boy made, but can he keep moving forward as a man."

"But what are you going to do about those people with grudges and guns and bounty hunters?"

James thought up an answer quickly and lost his tension. "Satisfy them."

"What?"

Holmes moved around the console and typed away at the many keyboards. "I need a camera and a trustworthy crew, a warehouse and a few rounds of blanks."

"Attention all units:" a woman was on the police frequency. "Julian Gestalt is being engaged at Beacon Cliffs by unknown individuals."

James piggy-backed the signal. "This is The Detective. Provide Gestalt with combat support. This is an order! I want him to have a future! But to do that, his past needs closing! Do you copy?"

After a silence, one by one, voices from several cars came through the radio. "Affirmative"s and "Yes, Sir"s echoed through the radio waves.

Holmes looked at the speed-dial contacts and saw Revan's number.

I shouldn't, but I might need him on this.

(Should I put Revan in this? We've both mentioned him, like, twiceand there's would be no way that Regan could ignore a combat situation like this. Would you be okay with it?)
