[ evan watches david leave, and only then does he leave himself, heading for one of the back ways out so he can get rid of the body properly. he's still angry, and since he can't quite figure out what's causing it, he just assumes it's david's fault. easy enough to do.

when the information comes he passes it on dutifully. the whole event, having gone mostly under the radar, gets him a reminder that this is his job, now, so get used to it. which is less than the usual yelling-at he'd get, so he considers it a win.

but that's not all there is to the job, and he knows it. he also knows david didn't give him all the information. or at least he's guessing. but there's not much he can do about it, not without proof.

for a while, there's not much. their teams - both of their families, begrudgingly working together - are forming a plan, putting an assault together. once they have it ready, that'll be the distraction part. and that irritates him.

it's why, despite everything in him, he texts david at about 10 at night a week later asking if he wants a drink at a bar outside their territories. ]
