A/N - Hello again! This is the second fan fiction I'll be doing simultaneously alongside the L4D one! I've always loved L.A. Noire as a game despite the terrible frame rate issues it has. I love the stories and the characters, and I'm adding my own twist to it! So please enjoy. If you'd like review as well as follow and favorite, it'd mean a lot to me! -AR

Glancing around, she stepped into the police department. Sure, she wasn't the first woman detective, but LA wasn't exactly happy she was here. Her dad was a senator and he pulled in a favor to get her into the academy where she kicked more ass than her male counterparts. Today was her first day. She had ordered herself a suit (despite trying to be talked out of it), and even a hat like the men had...A fedora is what the clerk said they were called. She took off her hat. Walking over to the officer working the front desk and putting a smile on her face she spoke to the woman, "excuse me...I'm looking for the captain. Know where he might be?"

"We aren't hiring," the officer bluntly said. Oh, they thought she was looking to become a secretary. That was wonderful. She let out a sigh. Okay, time to try this one more time. She had to get her point across to this man.

"No, no...Sir you misunderstand me. I'm Detective O'Hara. Detective Evelyn O'Hara," Evelyn told the woman. His eyes widened. Right, she was in the papers. The reporters had flooded her asking her a million questions. It was rare for women to be detectives, and having one in LA was rare, too. She wished that she didn't get whispers or sideways looks for choosing what she did. She was just as capable as the other officers here.

"Detective O'Hara! There you are. Sorry about your wait, lass! Come with me," she heard a voice say. Turning around she saw a man in a suit. He must be the captain. Captain Donnelly is what she remembered being told. She started out as a beat patrol in LA and her initiative and clear rate was able to get her to detective fairly quickly. Captain Donnelly was impressed by her and had requested her to his station. Captain Hugh Edmont, the captain before Donnelly, didn't want her to leave but in the end changed his mind. He was probably persuaded with cash. It wouldn't be a surprise.

"Captain Donnelly?" Evelyn said a smile on her face.

"That I am, lass! Come with me. You'll meet your new partner. He's a shining star like you...His name is Phelps...Cole Phelps," Donnelly said to her. She had seen his name in the papers. He had just come off beat cop like her not too long ago. She wasn't sure where he was now. However, it was time to ask that was for sure. She didn't want to be an idiot on her first day.

"Where am I be placed, sir?" Evelyn asked.

"Traffic! You'll enjoy it," Donnelly said cheerfully to her.

"I'm sure I will sir, I don't doubt it at all," Evelyn said to him. Evelyn and Donnelly arrived at where Traffic was and everyone stared at her and Donnelly.

"This is Evelyn Donnelly...Detective Evelyn Donnelly, Cole's new partner," the Sergeant said to the group.

"Good luck lass," Donnelly said leaving. Evelyn gave the group of men a wave.

"Right here, miss," said a male as Evelyn scanned the room. Her eyes landed on a handsome man wearing a gray suit, a white dress shirt, a black tie, and a gray hat like hers.

"Alright, settle down. Just because there's a pretty lady in the room doesn't mean anything. It's time to get assignments," the Sergeant said to the group. Evelyn took a seat next to Cole and they soon got their assignment. There was a car that was found in the trainyard covered in blood, and it was their first assignment. Getting up, Evelyn followed Cole out of the station. She had a lot to prove, but she knew that she could do it.

A/N – Alright! I hope the first chapter is good. I know the language isn't exactly correct for the 40's, but I do have a source for slang! I looked up fashion of the 40s, so I knew what to give Evelyn for a hat, because you know she rebelled and wore a suit instead of a dress and heels. So despite it not being 100% accurate, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! More will come~ - AR
