Finn pulled into his parking space and switched off the engine. He yawned widely and leaned against the headrest. God he was tired. The all encompassing, bone-numbing kind of tired that made even smiling seem like too much trouble. He'd only meant to go in and help Marco for a couple of hours, but everywhere he'd turned there had been someone who'd needed a hand with something, which meant he'd been at the park longer than if it hadn't been his day off. His feet were throbbing and he couldn't wait to get off them. The drive home had been the first time he'd sat down since arriving at the park that morning.

As promised, he'd headed straight for the lion's enclosure to find Marco leaning on the fence studying Elvis, concern written all over his face. Marco had been a part of the zoo almost as long as Elvis himself, and Finn hated to think what it would do to him if anything happened to the beloved animal. Of course, the irony of why Elvis was off his food had not been lost on anybody.

They'd eventually gotten Elvis sedated and out of the enclosure so the vet could examine him and take an x-ray to get some clue as to what was ailing him. All three of them had stood staring at the film on the light-box, mouths agape at the mass in Elvis' stomach. The x-ray had managed to pick out the stuffed lion he'd eaten in quite astounding detail and, by the size of it, it wasn't any wonder that Elvis was in trouble. Finn imagined there was a child somewhere bemoaning the loss of their toy which had obviously been dropped, or tossed, into the enclosure. Not, he suspected, that they'd want it back once they realized where it had been!

His stomach rumbled in annoyance at being ignored, jolting him into opening the door and scrambling out of the car, pressing the key fob once to lock it and then again to set the alarm. Satisfied the car was secure, he shuffled into the building, barely having the energy to pick his feet up off the ground, an image of an hour long hot shower at Aiden's to ease his aching muscles dancing across his mind. But he had to pick up some fresh clothes for his weekend with Aiden and Kaylee first. When he reached the front door to the apartment he shared with Chris, he suddenly had bigger things than a shower on his mind—it was open.

"Goddamn it, Chris," Finn hissed through his teeth. The moron had obviously left without locking the door again. If it didn't catch, it could easily be pushed from outside, which is why he kept on at Chris to make sure the apartment was secure when he left. Someone was going to get an ass-kicking when he saw them on Monday. "What the hell is wrong with you?" He lifted a hand to push open the door and was stopped by the incredulous inner voice screaming in his ear.
