Le Rivage: Cooper's Apartment


Wayne and garth from Illinois are perverting the Oscars.

The laughter coming from Coopers apartment has been outrageous.

And female too

Felix and Cooper - the dogs - have been on the floor gnawing on some rawhide bones. Beers aplenty since there's likely to be no work tomorrow and one is in Audrey's hand. She's not drunk, just buzzed, feet up on Coopers coffee table sitting beside her partner.

"Make a mila out of her Kunis" She echoes the television.

"Not as good as who's on Firth. Watson Firth." Cooper's voice is on the edge of laughter, thumb brushing at inner corner of an eye as if the laughter caused him to tear up. He's slumped at one end of the couch, a socked foot with it's gray wool toe, propped up on the table. Other sprawled out under that table.

He gestures at the TV with that lopsided goofy grin. "These guys are classic. Watched all their skits and movies back in the day." Which must have be years and years looking at the age of the men on the set. "Though I must admit… I'm a touch disturbed that Garth still lives with his mom. Isn't he like… what… fifty?" He gives a soft tsks.

He drags his foot off the table and makes a lazy gesture at sitting up to grab for his beer there on the coffee table "You are gonna come over for the super bowl tomorrow right?" Cooper asks angling a look over at Audrey as he settles back into his slump again. "Gonna have beer and chicken wings," he tells her in a sing songy voice, wiggling his beer between his fingers as if using it for bait.

"Got my fryer out and prepped. Gonna make us some Buff-el-oh wings."
"If we don't get called in or I don't get another mystery call."

Adurey regards her partner from across the couch, tilting her bottle up for another swig even as front teeth scrape against the mouth of the glass. "He called again. Hit on me, calls himself Gaston, though that's really not his name. He appreciates my ass, calls me deepthroat and had me go look for a lie detector by the name of Nocturne Ziadie"

That bright, humor filled smile slowly fades as Audrey starts talking about her mystery caller. "He hit on you?" Which you know… is totally what what he got out of that. Brows tip downward as his pale gaze goes back to the television, though he's not listening to the two men on the TV.

A quick swig of his beer is taken, before he asks, "Isn't that Ziadie the same one that killed that guy in the restaurant? Retired cops or something?" Proving that he was paying attention to the rest. "He say what his reasoning is?" Interest taking the creases out of his forehead.

After a tick he adds, "And Gaston sounds like the name of some stuck up pretty boy."
"he didn't say why, but I"m pretty sure it's that MR. Ziadie's evolved and he's a lie detector. Gaston put emphasis on putting truth in the place of lies. I don't know how I'm going to do that, or with regards to what. It has something to do with Gibbs, who's surfaced apparently, Jane says, but she can't find him now"

Audrey shakes her head, reaching up to scratch at her ear. "gaston was his fake name. I don't know who it is, maybe he's just being like he is to get a rise out of me. I think though, that the NSA has my office bugged. Camera's and microphones."

"Maybe," is a rather bland response from the rather often jovial agent. "So… what? Get this Zaidie guy to be there when you or Jane question Gibbs?" After a second he adds, "If you can ever find either of them?"

Shifting to sit up straighter, Cooper studies his partner with furrowed brows. "Though… kinda tricky if you guys are being watched." Fingers scratch at a jaw in need of a shave, something he just doesn't do on his days off. "You got an idea of where he is?" He gives her a mildly innocent look, brows lifting as he offers, "Cause if you dooo… I could go have a chat with him… you know… ex-cop to former cop? Without you all being noticed."

"I already spoke to him. He's parked actually at Ivanov's. Took some digging and asking around the precinct, but… if we can find out where this Gibbs is, bring Pak with us and Ziadie, we could find out what the deal is. It's a big fucking mess cooper I mean, where to start? What rabbit hole does this fall down not to mention why is this man coming to me other than you know.." Dog with a bone. Digging for the truth.

"It's a good question." Cooper says softly, thoughtfully. "Something like this can make careers and break them. Like walking a thread tightrope. It snaps your fucked." Bottle lightly clasped in both hands as he leans elbows on knees, he watches her closely.

"So how you thinking about going about this?" Cooper gives her a slightly lope sided smile. "You know I'm at your disposal. Partner's code an all. 'Tho shalt always have your partner's back.'" The smile creeps up a little brighter as he adds, "Goes with 'Thou shalt not call your partner hot, nor comment on his/her ass in jeans… lest you get punched in the nuts.'"

His head bobs back and forth, in a version of the see-saw hand. "I don't tend to listen to that one much. But then… " Cooper lifts the bottle and eyes Audrey. "…never been the smartest guy." Then he takes a drink.

"Likely break it. But someone's used DHS credentials to steal a DoEA person of interest and thereby hindered that investigation and smearing our name." Another sip of her beer, Audrey sets down the empty bottle on the coffee table, done for the evenings libations but settles back into a slouch on the couch. Only thing better would be Pak, rattling off her mouth during this all.

"Does that also follow the 'though shalt let your partner have the last powdered donut' rule?"

"Something like that… along with 'Thou shalt not sick your partners ex-wife on him.' And we know how often that one gets broken." Giving her a meaningful and amused look, before letting the smile fade a little. Cooper sets his own bottle on the table, with a little left in it.

"So you thinkin' that they are trying to take away some of the confidence that the big wigs in Washington have for Home Sec?" Cooper gives the TV a glance when the flickering images catch his attention, but not much more then that. "But to what end? Make one of these other guys look good? Make us tuck tail and bury our heads in the sand?"

"I think they think that no one will question if Homeland does it, thereby passing it off as us doing it, and anyone who noses into it, gets an NSA phonecall. Which means it's not homesec, but it is governmental. Not to mention the coffin thing in the back of the van. NO, it's like some… weird… x-files bullshit. Like that dome" Audrey gestures towards a window. "Man or machine?"

"Or those rumors of robots in midtown." Cooper adds his own blandly. "Which normally I'd wave off like… four years ago… but with men blowing up in the middle of the city… and people flying or shooting lasers form their eyes… Acid spit…" Which is a story he's told a few times about an old buddy.

"Hard to tell someone their insane, when the world in general has gone to the SyFy channel and Twilight Zone reruns." Cooper gives a softly huffed sigh. "So… have you looked into those coffins? Any eyewitness accounts? Like… on the internet?" He points at the lone little desk top stilling in a corner of the living room. "Anymore you can find just about anything there."

"Robots are real, far as I know Mr. Ziadie's had a run in with one. He managed to convince Ivanov not to come with me to look see for myself. So I'll have to try some other way, like first find out who's responsible for them" When he inquires if she's looked anywhere there's a snort as a reply, rubbing her tongue along the front of her teeth as if checking for fuzz. "Too busy. Dome put a dampener, had a few false calls regarding sylar. THey're riding all of us" Including him.

Curiosity will probably have him up tonight doing just that. “Those robots… when you go. Let me come with?” There is more concern there then curiosity. Cooper doesn't want his partner going alone. “Hell… we got the whole day off.. we could go take a look.” Yeah, let's waltz right into the danger.

Cooper studies the computer from where he is. "Well… how about I look that up for you in my spare time… It's not hard core evidence, but sometimes a little push in the right direction is needed… not like it's an official case anyhow." He flashes her a bright toothy smile. "Look up some robot accounts on the side."

"Lets not do any research on our home computers there big shot. With a cease and desist and a likely bugging of my apartment and office, they'll be all over our internet. Stick to libraries or internet cafe's" She points out. "Maybe ask Pak what she wants to do. Since this started because of her" Audrey looks back to the television as more Dana Carvy hijinks occur. "And lets watch television. We'll work on Monday"

She gets a lop-sided smirks, before Cooper shifts forward on the couch and pushes to his feet. "Alright… business concluded for the day." He moves to step around the table and points to the kitchen. "I'm getting another beer. Want another?"

At least with him, she knows for all his teasing she can get smashed and he's still gonna respect the distance and rules that come from being partners. Unspoken commandments that are just common sense.

For all his flirty jokes and insults, Cooper doesn't do anything real to jeopardize all that. He's pretty happy to just be her friend and partner.

"Cause I'm totally getting another." His brows give a little waggle and that goofy grin returns as he saunters into the kitchen. "Cause I don't got work toooomarrooow~" He sings out, voice drifting back to where Audrey is sitting.

"Maaaybee~"

He doesn't hit those highnotes very well.
