He sits alone at the bus stop. Waiting for his train to come. He's already ten minutes late to work. On his first day. He's going to miss the case. A gust of wind tells him where to go. As he stands up, he catches a glimpse of a woman he recognizes. But from where?
She gets on the train without hesitation. Just knowing where to go, where to sit. Her daily routine. She's not late for work at all. Being highest ranked has its perks. She can be where she please. Nothing changes. The train stops. She gets off. Just a daily routine.
He almost forgets where to get off. He's so preoccupied by the woman he saw. Who is she? Why is she also late? He gets off the train in a stumble as he tries to catch up with her. However his manly coolness stops him from acting too rashly. He tries to stay at least ten feet behind her.
She notices a man behind her that seems to be following her. But she knows who he is. She read his file. Just another colleague who won't be able to keep his pants zipped. She doesn't stray from her set path. Only a few more fret before she reaches the doorway to the station. The elevator doors open and she steps inside.
"WAIT! HOLD THE ELEVATOR!" It's the man who was following her. Except not really since they work in the same place. Well, he works under her. "Thank you."
Uncomfortable shifting between the two. "You're late." She says coldly. "I have no tolerance for lateness."
"Captain Raydor, is it? If I may ma'am-"
"No you may not."
"Ma'am you're late as well. How can you say you have no tolerance for lateness?" He inquired defiantly.
"I get here 45 minutes late exactly. Later than you are supposed to be here. That is my work time. If you are later than me, desk duty for the whole day." She stared at the door the whole time with a cold, stoic face. "Meaning, Lieutenant Flynn, you will not be working on any cases that come up today."
A sigh that caught itself before it hit the statue of a woman walking out of the elevator "Yes, ma'am."
They continued on their paths while walking to their respective desks. Hers behind walls and closed doors. His in a mini cubicle. Someone called the Captain over before she reached her destination. A new case began.
