mitochondriaaya"...and then I said how was I suppose to know the difference right? Denture paste, tooth paste? Who knew one was glue?!" Kyle laughed and held open the door to her floor. They'd just exited the stairwell after Kyle's normal night of taking Darlene out.
Pheh. Normal. That was a depressing thought. "Well...they do put nice, step by step pictures on the side of one of them?" That was a CLUE Mr. Detective.
"Who reads toothpaste tubes? Really, I just passed it to him!"
"...I do? Janna's allergic to Xylitol and a lot of toothpastes have that in as a sweetener." Because it was bacteria neutral or something. Anyway! "So do a lot of chewing gums, so no giving her gum unless you've checked!"
That was...not the come back he was expecting. "What the fuck is Xylitol?" She was making that shit up wasn't she?
"No, honest! It's a fake sweetener! Toothpaste can't use sugar right? That defeats the point of brushing, so they use fake stuff but Janna's allergic. The doctor said it wasn't uncommon!" SHE WAS NOT MAKING IT UP!
"Huh," weird. "What do you use then?"
"Toothpastes that are mainly baking soda based with mint extracts!" The whole family did! It was a solidarity thing!
"Damn allergies huh?" Kyle smiled as they turned down her hall then...froze, hand reaching for the gun he wasn't wearing. Fuck. "Darlene, stay here." The door was kicked in.
"What? You need my key t-" Oh. OH. THAT WAS HER DOOR. WHO WOULD WANT TO KICK HER DOOR IN?!
"I think some of those people Traver pissed off may have stopped by. I'll look around."
Darlene nodded mutely, wide eyed...then lifted her cell to her ear to call Traver the moment her partner went into the apartment. Because...that was her life in there. Her material life. She needed to talk to Traver.

"Sheeva's a good dog!" Darlene snapped back, stung. "I don't want her locked in here when I'm not home! What if we'd been late? She's here when I'm here!"
"...yeah, sorry." Kyle grumped and eyed the two men balefully. "What do you think you're doing?"
