Jack followed close behind, watching Mel as he went up the stairs to the place. Running a hand through his long brown hair, he slipped in his headphones as he opened the door for her, yelling out "Alright people, two of the slackers are back home!" Walking past Melrose, he headed straight for his door as he dropped off his things, locking his wallet and cellphone beneath the bed. It was a security measure he always performed, never much for trusting the random "guests" who always showed up. He headed for the shower immediately, finding himself shocked that he hadn't taken one earlier that morning. Then again, he hadn't felt like leaving Mel alone in awkward silence in his apartment.

After finishing, dressing into the same new clothes and stepping out, Jack headed for the kitchen where he grabbed a protein shake. Sitting down in his recliner, he looked around. No one else was in the living room at the moment. Yawning and closing his eyes, he leaned his head back against the seat and took a nap.
