Santana Lopez is simply the best at her job; at the age of 30 she is now the officially the best lawyer in the state, which required A LOT of work on her part. She walks to her office with her head held high and her confidence soaring, just like she has been doing since she could remember. As she walks into her spacious office she is immediately greeted by her boss and best friend Quinn Fabray, however she responds to Quinn's greeting by merely grunting, whilst sitting on her leather chair behind her desk. She doesn't even care if she's being bitchy everyone knows not to mess with her before she has her morning coffee. Quinn takes a seat opposite Santana and patiently waits for her friend to drink her coffee, Santana slowly feels her senses becoming stronger after she slowly drank the dark substance.
"Santana once you've finished testing my patience and start acting maturely we can get to work" Quinn finally says in an exasperated tone.
Santana sends an apologetic glance and then checks her email whilst Quinn then continues "As you know Mr. Puckerman and I have been working extremely hard in trying to find a link between the Smith's case and the James's case-"
Santana interrupted "Quinn I know how hard you work, hell everybody in this place works their asses off, but I really don't see why you're so intent on trying to find a link between these cases, we're lawyers. It isn't our job to try to crack these cases, it's the police's and detective's jobs to do that" Santana then sees an email from Quinn about the cases and heavily sighs.
"Santana I've been in contact with the LAPD to see how they're getting on with the cases, these criminals are masterminds, they leave almost no trace of evidence and when they do it's a false lead; the forces are at complete despair." Quinn then saw that Santana was engrossed with something on her laptop and saw this as the perfect opportunity to let her know, "That's why we will be joining them for a while" Although Quinn mumbled Santana still heard and she instantly questioned, "What do you mean 'we'?"
"You and I will be joining the LAPD for a month or so, in order to try and help them with the case" Quinn stated more boldly
A million thoughts were going through Santana's mind, somehow she managed to gather her thoughts slightly and after a few seconds of uncomfortable silence, Santana spoke up, "Why?" she asked so quietly that if Quinn wasn't watching so intently for an answer she would have missed it,"Look we both know how terrible and common these cases are becoming, and everyone is doing all they possibly can in order to solve the cases and no progress is being made, it wouldn't hurt for the police department to have a few extra minds helping them out. I've already spoken with the head of the department and she said that she would be more than happy for us to join them in trying to help with the case and we will be heading there tomorrow, Please Santana, we both know we can help. Please" Quinn begged.
Santana sat in silence as she watched her normally calm and collected friend plead her, and pondered her words.
Before she knows it, Santana's seated in the head of the police's department office and she regrets getting out of bed in the morning. This woman seems to never shut up; Santana is too zoned out to even care though. She jolts awake when she feels Quinn nudging her and wastes no time in shooting her a glare. "So Miss. Lopez" the annoying women named Rachel Berry says, Santana nods, signalling for her to continue, "You'll be accompanied by one of our best officers, she's the most hard working woman I know and she is extremely passionate about her job, she will be here shortly" Once Santana manages to get a word in she says "Okay, Thank you Miss. Cherry" Quinn scolds her and Santana genuinely doesn't know what see had done, Rachel corrected her "It's Berry, Rachel Berry, not Cherry". "Sorry" is all that's heard from Santana.
She then continues to pay rapt attention as Rachel explains the cases that included the robberies and homicides that have occurred in the last few months, and how all of it has escalated dramatically in the past few days.
Santana then leaves the office with Rachel taking the lead, rushing to find the officer assigned to be with Santana. Rachel finds her and Santana feels like all of the air has been taken out of her and Rachel's yapping has been blocked out, Santana stares at the equally shocked girl that's standing in front of her. Rachel senses some awkwardness and introduces them quickly before she is being paged by a different officer about another robbery. Santana stays remained in her position before speaking out a timid "… Brittany?"
