Disclaimer: I don't profit from this, at all. And given the current state of the show, I'm not so sure I even want to think of it being mine.

Notes: Set during episode 2.08 "Taken" from the perspective of Don Cragen.

Sending her flowers wouldn't be something the brass approved of. Had they ever approved of anything when it involved him? Not that he could recall.

It wasn't something they could sanction him for - for once. He'd send them, with a carefully neutral note. Because he actually happened to care about his people. It was in the gesture, not the flowers or gifts themselves, Marge had always said. At least nobody could say he hadn't tried.

And damn the bosses, he thought, reaching for the phone. If they hauled him up for trying to care about his people, they were idiots.
