"Looks like we got ourselves a bonafied human...I'll do a good sweep of the place just to be sure though." He glanced back toward the doors they came through. "A nice long one. Gotta get my hourly in. Lotta things like to look like humans too and I don't wanna leave these guys up shit creek."
"Makes sense." He stood back and tucked his hands into his pockets, looking around. "Any other evidence to look for? Other than the culprit themself, anyway."
"Weird smells...weird sounds...weird..." He wobbled a hand in the air. "Vibes."
Suddenly JW's cell phone went off and it made him jump a good foot in the air. He snatched it from his pocket and barked a greeting into it. "Oh--! No, sir, we haven't found anything yet."
Ginko jolted a little at the phone, as well, but relaxed again as JW answered. He watched in silence as his partner talked, then reached over to take hold of his hand again. He had kind of liked that earlier, okay.
JW wrapped his fingers around Ginko's again, only now he was considerably more distracted. He kept the phone to his ear and continued scanning the area with his eyes.
"No sir. No sir. Yessir. Up by the offices? No, I don't use the Facebook."
Ginko stood in silence as JW talked - then, rather suddenly, turned his head to stare off somewhere in the factory, brow furrowing. He could swear he heard something.
He shifted a little closer to JW, nudging him with one shoulder. "JW."
The taller man glanced over at Ginko, and lifted both their hands giving them a little shake, gesturing toward the phone. This guy was talking his ear off.
He glanced toward the source of the sound again, frowning more intently. He unlaced his fingers from JW's and placed his hand on the taller man's shoulder instead, curling his fingers in the fabric of his shirt. If they died he was definitely blaming JW.
JW turned to face Ginko more fully and mouth the word, "What?" while the guy with all the money goes on and on about some blurry thing he saw on youtube.
"Something's over there." He made sure to keep his voice low, more of a whisper than anything, and nodded in the direction he heard the sound come from.
He craned his neck to see, but of course he couldn't make out much in the dim factory with his bad sight.
"Alright, listen, my buddy's picked up on something and I've gotta go." Before his client could get another word in, JW snapped the phone shut and completely doubled over, hands on his knees. "Hoooooo, I think you saved my ear, Clover. Good thinkin'."
"What now is we keep lookin'. Nice and slow." He gave a knowing nod and started moving again. He ducked around the machines, occasionally stopping to explain what one did, showing off the boxes of rolls and rolls and rolls of labels and other mass-produced wonders.
The phone rang again.
JW let out a loud groan and rolled his head on his shoulders to give Ginko a pathetic look. "Kill me now."
Once again, Ginko stayed close by, his hand on JW's shoulder, nodding every so often as JW pointed out the machines and boxes. As weird and... vaguely distressing as this place was, it was also pretty interesting.
He frowned, going to wind his arm around JW's waist. "Maybe I could talk to him? Could say you're busy; you are the expert here."
