[ locked down by state police, how typical. the one night he planned on getting home and spending a few hours in his own bed instead of a desk was the one night the state police had to flex their muscle and impose a curfew that even an international agency couldn't skirt.
normally he would have stayed and helped, but Miller was on the phone arguing with with the chief inspector, and his own investigation was dead in the water, hitting a wall that even his relentless arguing couldn't break down. nothing needed immediate attention, and so he'd decided it was high time to head home for once. he'd hadn't left the office for the past 2 days, and even he imagined that he was starting to smell a little rank. the prolonged stay at headquarters wasn't helping his mood either, his notoriously short temper fraying even further.
ah well, that was interpol life, and he could always find something else to do while waiting for his turn to catnap on the benches. for one, he was still missing one very specific report from the Dubai attack, one he'd asked for repeatedly and only gotten silence in return. Jensen had managed to ignore all kinds of paperwork since joining, but the AAR for the Dubai mission was vital to his case— well, vital in the sense that it was still missing and Mac wanted complete and perfect records. considering that Jensen would never do it, he went ahead and wrote one for him.
he'd written nearly halfway through his own version of events that Jensen finally skulked back into the office, looking as harassed as Mac imagined he could be. he didn't know the specifics of what mission he'd gotten back from, Miller hadn't given him that detail, but it irked him two reasons: one, a subordinate who never bothered to report in, and the second, a rumor that it had involved his own Dubai investigation, even after he'd told Jensen to explicitly back off of.
after all the 'bonding' they'd done, it annoyed him something good to see Jensen suddenly stepping on the good will he'd extended. even the AAR was kinder than expected, criticizing Jensen for his lack of team work, but emphasizing his role in saving Singh and the team. as far as Mac reports came, it was almost kind.
he manages to catch Jensen on his way out of Miller's office, leaning against a wall in wait, managing to hide his irritation behind a look of sarcastic concern. a copy of the half finished report is on a pocket secretary in hand, held out as he gives Jensen a look that states that he needs to take it before he tosses it over the ledge. ]
Look what the cat dragged in. You manage to kill every cop on your way in here, Agent?
[ yes, that's a hello ]
