The benefit of being in at six is that the station is quiet. Hawk won't get in for another hour. Harry won't get in until eight.
Cooper gets a cup of coffee, sits at the table in the conference room, and watches the world continue to lighten.
Dream -- Morpheus -- promised him, in that last conversation, that he didn't need to worry about being a door, or a venue, for the manifestation of nightmare any longer.
Which, Cooper thinks, doesn't limit the revenge Dream could take if he and Moiraine --
Softly, to the window: "I can think about it."
He's not used to being able to think about it.
And eventually he doesn't have the time; Hawk comes in, notes Cooper's demeanor, and doesn't ask questions, but proffers a bear claw.
Patrol, paperwork, a DV call, a conference call with the BLM (which doesn't go horribly), an 88, more paperwork, and, all told, Cooper doesn't have much time to think about it until his shift ends.
He goes home, hangs up his uniform, and considers making more coffee.
He elects a nap, thinking before he falls asleep that if Morpheus knows, there will be a sign.
