The office was silent. The ambient hum of the air conditioner that flowed throughout room was like white noise to Officer Welsh. Her eyes drifted shut for a moment, before snapping back open and returning her attention to the blunt, boring report. Welsh leaned back in her office chair, placing her legs on top of her desk. Sighing, the woman couldn't help but drop the manila folder on her clutter desk and rub her temples.
It was the same ol', same ol'.
For the second time today she loathed not being part of the higher ranks of the Five-0. She loathed not being able to jump onto crime scenes, get into action… She loathed the fact that she was stuck in an office for more than 3/4s of her day. Perry Welsh loathed the fact that she left the mainland to have a job reading depressing files about dead hookers, drug dealers, and missing persons.
"Having fun, babe?"
Perry jumped, her feet sliding down off her desk, sending the folder sprawling to the ground, its contents scattering. Her eye's met Detective Williams' green ones before she choked out an embarrassed laugh. Ducking down behind her desk, Officer Welsh quickly gathered the fillings of the folder.
Too flushed to respond, Perry only nodded, causing Williams chuckle once more. Entering the woman's office, Danno looked around, surveying the area. It was a bit cluttered, with folders and papers stacked anywhere they could possibly be stacked. He smiled, shaking his head and looking over to Perry once more.
"How ya' doin', kiddo? Busy?" Danno leaned against the doorway, "You look bored."
Perry groaned, rolling her eyes, "I swear, you pass down the boring cases to me and only me."
"It's part of the job. Everyone starts off that way, kiddo." Danno shrugged lazily. Officer Welsh only nodded, her attention turned back to the folder in her hands.
"Y'know, this is the fifth drug bust I've read about today, sir?" She eyed the folder, flipping through it's contents. Danno only eyed her some more, suddenly worried.
"You okay, babe?" He took a few steps forward, now by her side at the desk, "Perry?"
The young officer only smiled, laughing slightly. Her eyes reassured the detective, because the dark orbs were smiling, telling him she was fine. Williams couldn't help but smile back, clapping her on the back.
"Let's go get a beer, kid. Grace has been wanting to see you."
