Nature

Eli's eyes roam Scarlet's face as she talks, the corner of his mouth hinting at a smile. "Alright... let's see what you got." He takes the papers and looks at them, cocking his head. "Little tattoo job on your bike, eh?"

He traces the pictures with his finger before he purses his lips, then nods. "Yeah... we're booked pretty full at the moment but.." He hands the papers back to her. "This wouldn't take too long. Got your bike here? I could take a look and see what I'm up against."


Reese is not happy with this whole thing, but he knew that Hope was skilled and knew what she was talking about. But was her head on straight with this? Because it was Scott? He had to question that.

Sighing deeply, he puts his hands on his hips and just looks at her, then Alec, then back again, then back to Alec. "Why do you want to help? Goes against your nature doesn't it?"

Alec bristles and gives Hope a sidelong glance. He wouldn't stick around if this is what he got for it. "Look, Hope asked me for help and I said yes. Scott doesn't have much of a chance if this is what we think it is, but the only chance he does have is if you let me see him. Think of it this way - could it get much worse?"

Reese grits his teeth, but he finally nods. "Alright. But first time you mess up, it's the last straw. Got it?"

Alec gives Reese a somewhat sarcastic salute. "Got it."

"Come on. I'll go up with you."

The walk only takes a couple minutes, and Reese is opening Scott's door. Scott hasn't moved, still sitting in the corner, still rocking and still mumbling. His eyes focus on nothing and he doesn't even seem to notice that anyone is there.

Reese steps to the side, letting Hope and Alec in. His eyes venture to Hope. "Jenny said there's been no change," he mentions quietly. "I tried talking to him but... he didn't respond."

Alec hangs back, deciding not to do anything until Hope had given him the go-ahead. He looks at Scott across the room, studying him and watching him closely.
