As soon as that confession left my lips, they all stared at me, in shock; because I had talked to Frank and Henry in such a stealthy manner that they had not suspected my true intent was to join the police force. Jamie was the first to speak
"Wow, Mase. That's honorable! But are you sure? Even after what you went through?"
I nodded, replying
"ESPECIALLY because I went through. I saw up close and personal what you deal with; who you keep away from the citizens. The danger, the sacrifice... I want to make a difference, make my mark on the streets of New York. Melody approves as well."

That's one difference between Mase's wife and Sydney when she was still sane and we were together. Mel supported Mason's dreams and aspirations, and he wanted to do good in this city. I smiled
"That is great, Mason. I'll help you prep for the Academy and help you through it. And then, who knows? Maybe we'll even get to work together on the streets!"
That thought made both of us happy, and I truly was beyond excited for my best friend in this new chapter of his life. Putting on NYPD blue. It was one of the best things to ever happen in my life, I hope his dream would reflect the same feeling in his life.
A few days later, Melody arrived in the Big Apple; having been moved by her tech company; with all her belongings being shipped to the house she would be living in with her family, all expenses paid by the company. Sweet deal, to be honest. On either side of her, she had one child by the hand, and one bun in the oven. Her oldest son was Logan, 3 years old; then 2 year old Chloe. They still did not know how many babies she was carrying or genders. Sometimes seeing their family made me wish I was the father and husband of a family of my own; but then I think rationally and remember everything happens in its own time, and I will fulfill my dream when the time is right.

The Reagan's kindly helped us get settled in and unpacked; then Jamie announced it was time he started prepping me for what was in store for my future in the Academy.
"This will be tough, Mase. They'll wear you out, stretch you thin, turn your way of thinking as a lawyer inside out and all around... But it will be worth it. Every time."
I nodded, letting the words sink in. I knew he was right. He then began to help me study, and I knew I was in for the hardest, but one of the best times of my life. I just hope I will be able to pass with flying clors and graduate, so I can start helping this city.
