Chapter 30
"Every time you have to go, Shut my eyes and you know, I'll be lying right by your side in Barcelona " George Ezra – Barcelona
Trying to read Lucy was like trying to learn a new language, the only emotion I knew on her face was happiness. Because she rarely to never showed any other. Was it a sign that she might come out looking weak? As we pass in the halls, or even outside, in meetings or parades she wore a smile that no one other than herself could wear.
It was sweet and contagious and when I saw it, I couldn't help but smile as well. Her eyes would laugh and sparkle and she would just glow. As we sit in our morning meetings, attendance was compulsory on Mondays, I watch her out of the corner of my eyes. She glances over her papers and then back to our commander as she takes notes. Every now and again her eyes would meet mine and I would just look down and shake my head.
"Do you fine crime amusing Cst Dragneel?" I look up as I hear my name being called and my eyes meet those of our Commander.
"Not at all." I reply back looking down at my own notes, not to sure what to make of them because there was little to none. If not only scribbles. "Crime is a problem, not only in my sector. We discussed a way forward in our last Sector Crime Meeting." I say as I glance to Laxus who is just sitting there looking at table.
"When is your next meeting?" Mavis asks with a sneer.
"The Overall meeting for the Sector Crime Forum will be next week Monday." Captain Cana Alberona says as a matter of fact and Mavis nods her head. "But all Commanders should diaries it as it would be beneficial to attend. The community enjoys that the police participate in these meetings.they feel heard." She continues and I just smile and nod my head, she was always so sweet and helpful and a true sight for a woman. A beautiful one at that.
"Thank you Captain." Mavis replies as she grabs at the agenda again. I give Cana a curt nod and a smile before I look to Lucy who continues to scribe along her notes her eyes remaining on the page. "Colonel Bora what do you have planned to address the crime because your members are bringing in no successes?" Mavis asks and she was bringing out the big guns as she raises her voice, but this was a usual for us on a Monday. basicly it was another typical Monday. I watch Colonel Bora look up and then look to our group of Sector Co-ordinators.
"Brigadier, we are conducting operations during our hotspot times and we are patrolling our hotspot areas." Colonel Bora tries but it seems that this does not dim the flame that has ignited in Mavis this morning. She was on a complete warpath and seems that we were her target.
"Brigadier, I even placed some articles in the local news for the community to be aware of the crime trends that are being used." Captain Cana says with a soft smile.
"Yet the crime is not going down, what is Vispol doing!" she yells.
"I can try and do a radio interview." Captain Cana starts but soon stops as Colonel Bora raises his hand to stop her mid sentence.
"We will try and plan accordingly to attend to our crime picture." Colonel Bora states.
"Brigadier, with all due respect, the only success that are coming in currently is from the Sector co-ordinators and Crime Prevention." Everyone goes quiet as we look to the person in question who just raised their opinion, not something that is usually done towards our Commander. "I would maybe advise Colonel Bora to sit and have a meeting with the Relief Commanders and have them make arrests for targets while CPU and Sectors strategize to address the crimes that are picking up in the area." She places her pen on the table with a soft smile on her lips.
I stare at Lucy as she looks around the room, leaving most speechless. She looks to me then to the Brigadier with a smile on her lips as Mavis nods her head.
"I'll be sure to amend the times and dates of the operations to ensure they speak to the Crime patern analysis. Because if we look at the crimes that are being committed, operations are being held to address the crimes depending on police action and not the crime reported by the community," she continues as she notes down something on her notes.
I don't think I have ever witnessed our commanding officer so shocked as she tries to regain her bearings and continue with the meeting. Lucy just continues to smile as she notes down everything. That smile never leaving her lips. I look to Cana who furrows her brows but continues to remain composed.
Not long after the meeting was adjourned I get a message on our group. 'Herewith the operational planning for the coming week….' I look over the message with given dates and times of which we would be working. Would this be the first time in a while we were not working on the weekend?
'We aren't working Saturday?' Cst Zeref asks and I assume he is just as shocked as we are.
'Nope…' was Lucy's lone reply and soon this followed.
';)' I shake my head as I get into the car actually wondering how the hell she got this right but thankful nether the less. I would soon come to realise that she was the only one who looked after us and who truly cared for us.
