hey! you've reached Jack Frost!
"I'm away from a console right now, but leave me a message and
I'll return it as soon as I can! Prank callers will be snowballed-- kidding!"

[ Jack knows he'll have similar trouble with his console so he doesn't even bother to write back a reply, just takes to the air and flies over to Costigan's suite. ]

That's sure a pain, isn't it? Weird how we've gotten so used to relying on the consoles.

[As usual, Costigan's left a window open for the guy. At least this time, he sees his friend coming and glances up when Jack perches on the sill. It still unnerves him to see it, but as long as he doesn't think about it too much, he can avoid the anxiety.]

I'm going to fucking kill myself if it keeps up. [It's an offhand muttering, one it's obvious the Bostonian would never actually follow through on. Then he's more serious, crossing his arms and shifting.]

I told you about being an undercover, and the council thing? [He grimaces a little, clearly uncomfortable.] It's going to change. He wants me in charge.

Re: action;

[ Even though he knows Costigan's joking by the offhand remark, it's still pretty poorly timed considering everything that's going on. ]

In charge like everyone knows about it, you mean? But no one would know about your being police back home, unless you told them.

I know. [He agreed. Costigan left it at that, though it was very clear from the undercover's posture and disposition that there were other concerns as of yet unvoiced. Instead of admitting to them, he shrugged offhandedly.]

I wanted to tell you before he makes it official. That's all.

[ he grins ]

You'll knock it out of the park, Billy. Just trust yourself.

[The undercover gave a light nod.]

Thanks, guy. [Then he shrugged.] I'm going to go for a run. I'll see you around, huh?

[It was less a question of if he would or not and more a simple kindness given as an amicable addition to an otherwise rude statement. Costigan was asking him to leave, not demanding it.]

Re: action;

[wintershepherd]

[ Jack tipped a friendly salute at the man, acknowledging the request. ]

You betcha!
