I wanted you to know, in case... [He hesitates. He doesn't do this, he doesn't do 'if I don't return' speeches.
But he'd told Tara he'd be back to keep running the Hilltop, and instead he'd died. He'd assumed he'd be back. The thought of assuming anything so easily now just twists up inside of him.]
[Jesus flips on the video and seems to switch modes entirely. He's no longer here explaining why K might never hear from him again; now he's on a mission, with a new ally and a new set of skills to use.]
I'm heading over to V's to see if there were any clues left.
[K switches modes too; he was a blade runner, his job was to retire replicants, but he had to find them first. That was where he excelled, and he settles to it again now quickly.]
[He doesn't know if any guards would bother talking about it in public, and he doesn't want to spend time hoping and searching when there could be active clues at V's.
He picks the lock when he gets there, but the place is clean.]
[K has gone quiet while Jesus walks, the line still open but muted; when he gets to the door though K is back, and it's not that he's forgotten about Nibbles at all - he hasn't - but he doesn't react until Jesus finds the cat safe, and then his brow is furrowing with concern.]

[K says it flatly, firmly, cutting across the beginning of that speech.]
Keep the line open. I can help, I've conducted entire cases remotely before.

It happened fast.

[And try to figure out if he can make it out to help in person, but he's less sure of that success so he keeps it to himself.]
When?

Re: Video;
Hakkyuu is a fighter. V, too. Whatever's going on has some force or some support behind it.
Watch the guards.

Nibbles?
[They wouldn't take the cat, would they?
But no- Nibbles is easily found.]

How long will he be okay on his own?
Re: Video;
If something happens to me, you can ask someone else to come take care of him.

[Jesus knows better what it's like out there, what his plan is, what's reasonable.]
And to be careful.

[He'll start to worry far sooner than two hours later.]
Can you fill the sink for Nibbles?
Re: Video;
[He starts the sink filling]
Don't worry. I'm going to need your help, I'll be calling you as much as I can.
Re: Video;
There's no sign of struggle or fighting? He hasn't been there?
