"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you?"

Alex Vause, the police officer of NYPD raised her eyebrow as she waited for the man to answer. Alex had been tracking the most wanted jewel thief of New York for months. Finally she had collected enough evidence, that the man would be taken to prison for sure. Alex was rather pleased with herself.

Alex was writing her report for the chief of the department as her wild haired best friend barked in.

"I heard that you caught the guy?" Nicky asked smiling widely and collapsed the chair in front of Alex's desks.

Alex looked up from her computer and smirked. "I sure did."

"Well done Vause, you did it faster than Healy would have"

At that Alex laughed as she thought about Healy. Healy was an old homophobic fuck who always demanded to be on the lead of investigations. Their chief, Mr. Caputo obviously didn't listen him and usually put Alex on the lead because she was one of the best officers.

"Well, when you have done that Caputo asked you to go see him", Nicky told Alex as she got up.

Alex looked Nicky suspiciously. "Why do you make it sound like a bad thing?"

"Yeah, you're not gonna to like what he's gotta say."

"What, why?"

"Just go there and try not to kill him", Nicky told her as she left. Nicky sure as hell wouldn't stay and told the bad news to Alex.

Alex knocked the chief's door and stepped in nervously. What if something went wrong and the jewel thief was released?

"Ah Alex, good to see you! Nice work with the thief", Caputo praised.

"Thanks", Alex murmured. Caputo looked happy so it couldn't be that bad, right?

"So, with the evidence the man got ten years and fuck load of money to pay", Caputo told pleased.

Alex let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh, and new police officers have been trained, so they will be paired with you. Partners will be shared in ten minutes in conference room."

Alex stared the chief in disbelief. Her ears registered nothing after she heard she is going to have a partner.

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

"Alex-"

"No! You know damn well that I don't work with other people, I can't do my work properly if I need to worry for some dumbass fucking everything up!" Alex was shaking from rage.

"Look, I know you don't like it, but the newbies need to be paired with experienced officers. They are trained to be polices, so they can manage. You cannot avoid this, everyone will be paired", Caputo told sternly. His tone told that the matter wasn't up for discussions.

Alex left the room slamming the door shut.

Alex stepped in the conference room about twenty minutes later. Yes, she knew she was late and no, she didn't care.

"Nice of you to join us Vause", Caputo said as he glared at Alex.

Alex rolled her eyes and sat down on a free chair. There were about ten newbies sitting in front of the room. Half of them looked like they would have been in interrogation and not in their new job.

"Like I was saying, all of you will be paired. If you don't get along with your partners, you need to suck it up because you need to learn to work with people you don't like", Caputo continued as she looked Alex meaningfully.

"So, without further ado, I'll give you your partners and you can go somewhere to get to know each other."

Alex heard that she was paired with girl named Piper Chapman, but she didn't make a move to introduce herself to her. The girl was trained to be the police damnit, she should be able to find out who Alex was.

Piper was sitting in her chair waiting that Alex Vause would come to introduce herself. When she didn't, Piper remembered that the tall, dark haired woman with glasses was called Vause. She looked around and saw the woman sitting with rather annoyed expression on her face. Piper gathered her courage and got up.

"Excuse me, are you Alex Vause?" Piper asked hesitantly.

Alex looked up and raised her eyebrow. "Took you long enough to figure that out."

Piper stared Alex with her mouth agape. Was this woman serious?

Alex was not happy with this arrangement and thought that Piper should know that.

"Okay, I'm Piper Chapman and I'm paired with you" Piper said, desperately trying to form some kind of conversation.

"Follow me", Alex told her as stood up and left the room.

Jesus, this woman wasn't apparently very fond of the whole pairing thing, Piper thought as she rushed after Alex.

After a short walk to Alex stopped abruptly and Piper almost walked into her.

"So, this is my office, yours is right opposite of mine. If you got some problem don't come to me because it sure as hell isn't me who is dealing with it. If you have something else on your mind, you can come to my office and if I'm not there, text me. Do NOT call, understood?" Alex asked her as she grabbed Piper's wrist and wrote her number on her palm.

Piper could only nod. She had no idea how to deal with Alex, she looked so angry and Piper didn't want to say anything what could anger her more. For the first time Piper took Alex in. She wore black skinny jeans and white button up shirt with sleeves rolled up to elbows. She had black combat boots and her black hair hung loosely.

"Just surf on the net and learn how to use your computer", Alex told her as she watched her clock. It was a little past noon. "You can leave at one and you will come to work at eight am everyday unless I say otherwise." At that Alex turned on her heels and went to her office closing the door behind her.

Piper stood in a hallway staring Alex's closed door. Slowly Piper went to her own office and sat down on the comfy chair. She was stunned that Alex had the nerve to talk to her like that. Obviously, Alex didn't like to be paired with Piper or anyone for that matter, but it didn't give her the right to treat her that way. Piper would give her time to pull herself together until tomorrow. After that she was going to give Alex piece of her mind. Pleased with her decision, Piper allowed herself to think about Alex. She had heard that Alex was one of the best officers in the department. Piper didn't doubt it, she looked very confident and that she didn't took bullshit from anyone. Alex looked like she was always in control and Piper couldn't help but found her very attractive. She shook her head and buried her thoughts about her partner who most likely hates Piper and opened her laptop and got to work.

Alex collapsed on her chair and buried her head in her hands. She was sure that she would kill somebody by the end of this week. She felt kind of bad for Piper, it wasn't her fault that she got paired with Alex. She looked smart thought. Wasn't trying to tell Alex that they should get to know each other, and the good looks was only plus. Yes, Alex noticed her big blue eyes and how her tight leggings showed off her long legs. Tomorrow when she had calmed down, she would apologize (what she did like never) and get to know her.

Somebody knocked the door and came in. Alex just hoped it wasn't Piper. She wasn't ready to face her.

"Hey."

Alex let out a breath she didn't know she was holding when she heard Nicky's voice. "Hey."

"Where's your partner? I hope you didn't scare her off already", Nicky laughed.

"Of course I didn't", Alex couldn't even make that sound convincing. "She's just trying to learn to use the computer system."

"And you are not helping her because?" Nicky raised her eyebrows as she watched Alex.

"I just wasn't in the mood to deal with newbie. I just need to be alone for a while that I can get my brains in this whole pairing thing. If that isn't too much asked", Alex said becoming annoyed. Why everyone is okay with having a partner about in ten minutes notice.

Nicky raised her hands and left Alex alone.

Piper was just packing her things and leaving when she felt eyes on her back. She turned around, hoping that it was Alex. Piper saw some wild haired woman watching her. She had seen that woman in conference room, she was one of the experienced officers.

"Hey, I'm Nicky Nichols, one of the officers", the woman introduced herself as she pushed herself off the doorframe.

"Piper Chapman", Piper said as she shook Nicky's hand.

"So, I heard you was paired with Vause?" Nicky asked.

Piper nodded.

"Yeah, sorry about that. She was told about an hour ago that she is going to have a partner. Nobody really didn't want to tell her because she likes to work alone", Nicky said apologetically.

"I figured", Piper told her smiling a little. This means that there's the possibility that Alex would come around. She was just probably shocked that she was having a partner in such a short notice.

"Just because she acts like an asshole, doesn't mean that she is one. She is a good cop and friend, just give her some time", Nicky advised before she left the room.

Piper smiled and left too. She walked home as the thoughts of the certain raven haired beauty filled her mind. Tomorrow would be a good day she said to herself.
