"There is one fine piece of ass downstairs."

Officer Faith Yokas looked over at her partner, Officer Maurice "Bosco" Boscorelli, as he walked into the room and over to his locker. He had that I'm-God's-gift-to-women look on his face as he started to change from his street clothes into his uniform.

Yokas smiled to herself and buttoned the last button on her uniform. "You know, Bosco, if the women you talk about could hear how you talk about them, your womanizing days would be numbered." She ran a brush through her hair and pulled it back into a ponytail. "You should try treating women like people, and not like gum that you chew til the flavor's gone before you spit them out."

Bosco looked over at Faith. "If you were a guy, you'd understand."

Faith laughed. "Oh, yeah, if I were a guy-"

The door to the locker room opened again and Officers John Sullivan and Ty Davis strolled into the room.

Davis had a smile on his face as he said, "And those legs? I'd bet that's an all day job shaving those. Ouch!"

Sully laughed knowingly.

Bosco threw Yokas a why-do-you-always-chew-me-out-and-not-Davis look and then asked, "So, Davis, you saw her too, huh? Did you find out anything about her?"

Davis noticed the exchange between Bosco and Yokas and smiled. "Nope. I just walked past her as I came in. I did notice that she smelled nice, though."

"Yeah, and she was English," Sully chimed in. "She was talking to the desk sergeant when I walked by her."

Bosco finished changing and slammed his locker door shut. He walked over to the sinks and splashed some cold water on his face. "Whatever she is," he said as he dried his face with a towel. "I'm gunna get to know her before we roll today."

The desk sergeant stuck his head in the door. "Roll call in five minutes. Yokas, Lieutenant Swersky would like to see you in his office."

"Thanks Sarg. Be right there," Yokas said. She grabbed her things and closed her locker.

Bosco smiled at her. "Hey, if you see that girl, see what you can find out on her, huh?"

"No problem, Bos," Yokas said as she walked to the door. "You want me to pass her a note before homeroom for you too?"


Yokas knocked on the door and waited to be called in. Her walk to the Lieutenant's office was a long one. Her head was filled with ideas about why the lieutenant would want to see her. The only thing she could think of that made sense and wasn't horrible, was that Bosco had done something and Swersky wanted her opinion on what to do to handle it. The rest of her ideas, too horrible to dwell on, she pushed to the back of her mind, and tried to forget that she'd even considered them.

"Come in."

Yokas opened the door and entered the office. As she closed the door behind her, she noticed a woman sitting on the couch in the back of the room. She was dressed in faded dark blue jeans and a collared red shirt under a tan suede jacket. Beneath the jacket, Yokas noticed the butt of a gun in a shoulder holster and a silver badge clipped to her belt.

Lieutenant Swersky cleared his throat from his desk.

Yokas turned toward him. "Yeah, Lieutenant?"

"Officer Yokas, I'd like to introduce you Captain Terrisa Swensen. She's here from the Chicago PD. She's asked that this department help in a joint investigation with the CPD."

Captain Swensen stood and walked over to Yokas, extending a hand. Yokas took it slowly and returned the handshake. Still looking at Swersky for more explanation, but seeing he was finished, Yokas asked, "What does this have to do with me?"

"I'm good friends with Doctor Susan Lewis." Swensen's light British accent wrapped around her works as she spoke. "She spoke very highly of you and your partner, Officer Boscorelli, and the work you two put into finding her niece a few months back. I need people that are as dedicated as you to help me with this assignment."

"What kind of assignment?" Yokas asked, trying to keep the hesitancy out of her voice.

Swensen smiled. "Undercover."
