[Beantown Arsenal - Outside Boston]

[ednygma]

It's obscenely early when Eddie rolls into the office. It's not all that early for him - someone who's somewhat notorious for never going home or sleeping - but for everyone else, even on a military base, it's capital E early. His department's quiet and mostly empty when he arrives. Eddie gets coffee, boots up all his computers, and then wanders across the building to see if Jonathan's at work already. He's guessing yes, probably. Crane's as prone to prioritizing work over petty things like sleep as Eddie is.

He gives Crane's office door the most cursory of knocks before just letting himself in. Eddie has big news to share, and also be smug about. Crane's going to get to hear all about it, whether he likes it or not.

"Good morning," Is how he cheerfully announces himself. He plonks one of the mugs of coffee down on Crane's desk. Couple sugars, very very little cream. Not that Eddie himself would ever admit to knowing those specifications. "Guess who showed up at my door last night? And made me spend several hours filling out paperwork."
