As he expected, she was vague about the night's activities. She still viewed him as a cop. Which, in truth, he was. He never really felt off-duty. It was how he was raised. Even when he'd felt like his father's work had seemed fruitless, it wasn't because he didn't share his father's drive. He'd just been afraid of not making a difference, that his work would be fruitless. But he'd learned that wasn't the case. Most definitely
Since he'd learned of the power and his own abilities- since Ascendancy had taken him into his tutelage and shown him the fundamentals, as well as the promise of more important responsibilities in the future in the CCD- well, Ivan felt like all of it was part of his assignment. It was his beat. To an extent. He was still a man who liked to enjoy life. He still wanted more in his life. His father had had it, after all.
“Can’t say I regret it, however.”
He laughed at her. She was funny. She didn't give an inch. She went on to tell why she was there in Moscow and her work. "Even us dangerous criminals need some sort of a honest living.”
He laughed. "Hah! yeah, I can't imagine freeing rabbits pays all that well."
Then she decided to question him. “But, tell me something, do you always work when you are supposed to be off duty, officer Sarkozy? Surely you had better things to do than arrest concerned citizens.”
He grinned at her. "First of all, it's Ivan, ok? As you pointed out, I am off duty. As to why I responded?....Honestly, I'm not sure. I had dropped my partner off and was on my way home. I wasn't far from the Oslov building when the call went out."
He frowned. It really wasn't procedure to go alone. "I don't know. I just felt like I should go."
He shrugged as he looked at her, unsure, and gave her a lopsided grin. "That probably didn't make sense. Anyway. I am glad it turned out to be nothing big."
He amended his words. "Well, except for the big bad bratty criminal that I did catch."
He winked at her. "At least it worked out, though. And I got to talk to a pretty girl today without her being in handcuffs. That's always nice."
A big grin that time.
