Claudette.
Overtime requests, duty rosters, quarterly crime figures, reports to be read, memos from the Department, from the Chief's office, and from the Mayor's office. Claudette felt she was drowning in a sea of paperwork.
She leant back in her chair, looking around her office. "Her office", it sounded strange, almost as strange as "Captain Wyms".
She'd once told Chief Bankston that she didn't want the Captain's job, but that she'd take it if it were offered. It had been offered, and then snatched away. It hadn't been until she'd lost it that she'd realised how badly she'd wanted it. How badly she'd wanted to run Farmington the way it should be run, her way.
She owed it to all the decent, honest, hard-working cops in The Barn. The criminal antics of the Strike Team reflected badly on all of them, and Aceveda had become contaminated be Mackey's dirty ways.
Lemansky going to IAD had blown things wide open. She'd been shocked at the extent of the Strike Team's corruption.
Frighteningly it had nearly cost Dutch his life.
Looking at her paperwork Claudette made a decision. Leaving it until tomorrow she wondered if her old partner wanted to get some dinner.
