Carolyn Barek sat at her desk in the Gang Central office. Her partner Jose Lopez sat talking to the other two officers, Kriten Baylor and Markel Jorome. She looked up when she heard her former partner's name, she listened.
"Mike Logan, black shield of the Brass." Lopez explained to Baylor, the rookie of the four.
"How can he still be on the force then?"
"He's a good guy Baylor, don't listen to Lopez. May have a past but we all do." Lopez looked at Carolyn.
"How'd you know Barek?"
"He was my partner before I came to Gang Central, we worked together in Major Case."
"He's a nothing Barek, deserves to scrub the floors of Police Plaza not walk on them."
Carolyn shook her head and looked down at the file she had in hand. Lopez smirked.
"That's the thing with you Polish, you aren't fit for being police, only being farmers."
"I'll forget you said that." They looked up to see Mike Logan at the door. Carolyn smiled.
"I forgot, I'm sorry." Carolyn stood up and placed the file down, grabbing her purse from her desk drawer.
"It's alright, so how about that indian diner we went to on a case?" As Carolyn joined him at the door.
"Sounds great." They left and Lopez looked at Baylor and Jorome.
"That's why she's defending him, she's in his bed."
Two hours later Carolyn walked back into the Gang Central office to find the three still talking.
"How was lunch with the black shield?" Lopez watched as she sat down and began with a file once again.
"Barek, I asked you a question." Carolyn looked up and Lopez looked at her.
"Lunch was great, it's none of your business anyways Lopez."
"You do know he has a habit of screwing female cops after the first date then dumping them."
"And?"
"As your partner, I'm looking out for you. Just don't think he'll sweep you off your feet. He's a crack head when it comes to sex and female cops, can't help himself."
"Watch how you talk about him Lopez." Carolyn gave him a look, she was about ready to punch her partner's face in.
"What, that Logan can't help himself when it comes to cops and sex. I'm stating the truth."
Before he knew it, Carolyn had already given him a good punch in the face.
"I said watch how you talk. As for being Polish, you should know we have a short temper." Walking away, Lopez had grabbed her.
"I don't touch women but this is an exception." He punched her in the face and she landed on the floor. The fight had begun, finally after a few, Baylor and Jorome pulled them apart, problem was their captain was walking in.
