Hartwell stopped in his tracks and turned to smile at Mel with a thumbs up, holding the tray with one hand. It was a well-known fact that the PIs adore Melissa, even if only being a year getting to know her. She'd always show concern for their wellbeing, going as far as visiting the agency to deliver the drinks when she didn't need to. Even the moody Ashley had grown somewhat fond of the barista.
"You're always welcome, Mel." The werewolf did a little bow then opened the door, the cool air again slipping past the man and disturbing the hanging lights. "Come visit when you finish up. Everyone's probably busy on a case."

Hawkes gave the two a simple farewell and retreated to the second floor, climbing the rusted spiral stairs Sawyer started tidying up the office. Upon paying attention to the surroundings outside of the HSPI's room, it was clear the place was bare and not as maintained in contrast to the HSPI office (though messy) Evan and Jack came from. Old wallpaper, ornate wall scones that need dusting and new lightbulbs, and a worn carpet that covered the hallway floor.
Cars and people had filled the avenue by then, the once serene street thriving with life compared to the morning. A mop of blonde hair joined the sea of humans, his coat flying behind him as he jogged lightly across the zebra stripes. He had stayed too long and the coffees are losing their heat.
'Well I'm screwed,' he thought with a soft chuckle. This wasn't the first time he had been distracted whilst out for a coffee/snack run. The worst thing that could ever happen with him bringing back lukewarm drinks would be a cold stare from Ashley (but she's at school so haha) or an annoyed sigh from the usually relaxed Hawkes. He had always been picky when it came to hot chocolate.
As soon as he crossed the street, a scent immediately stood out from the car smoke and baking pastries. Hartwell narrowed his eyes, thinking,
'Werewolf.' So far, majority of the PIs encounters with werewolves were unpleasant, mostly having to deal with ferals. Though there are friendlier werewolves he's met, it still didn't shake his scepticism. He looked around, spotting Evan and Jack at the entrance to the building he called home.
