I'm sorry, I seem to be having differculty writing this one. They'll be short chapters but I'll keep at it.
Fraser strode outside the consulate and winced as the pungent smells of Chicago wafted up his nostrils. He would never get used to it.
He stopped at the top of the steps to stare down at the motionless enigma. She was showing perfect stance, head forward, shoulders back, staring straight ahead. She showed the mark of someone with practice; it was truly something to be marvelled at. Some might scoff but Fraser believed that, although subtle, there was a skill to guard duty. He had never really possessed it himself, even though Ray thought it was peculiar how he could stay that still, Constable Williams made him look like an amateur.
"Hey Benny! You just gonna stand there or what?" Ray Vecchio shouted from inside the Riv. He must have pulled up without Fraser noticing. Strange. It wasn't like the Mountie to miss something, let alone the roaring engine and the screeching tyres of the Riv.
Fraser plodded down the steps and let himself take one quick glance at Williams before facing Ray.
"I'm sorry, Ray," Fraser explained as slid into the car seat. He placed his hat on the dashboard and did his seatbelt "My mind seems preoccupied,"
"Yeah I don't blame your mind, Fraser," Ray smirked "She's attractive," The car pulled out into the street in its usual graceless manner, swerving to avoid collision. Fraser internally fumed for a split second until he realised that it was Ray driving.
"Who's attractive?" Fraser questioned.
"That woman you were goggling, Benny!" Ray chuckled. "If you're going to stare, at least do it discreetly,"
"I wasn't 'goggling', Ray," Fraser said indignantly "I was…observing,"
"Yeah sure, Benny," Ray rapped his fingers against the steering wheel and shuffled in his seat with an annoying grin on his face.
They sat in silence. Fraser coughed and put a disgruntled look on his face to hint to Ray to wipe the look of his face. Unfortunately, Americans don't seem to be good at subtleties Fraser had found.
"All right, if you must know, Ray," Fraser said.
"I must,"
"I've been made him superior, I am responsible for her and I have no idea what to do with her," Fraser said. "She's obviously had bad luck with commanding officers before with bad results and I don't want her to feel like I've failed her,"
"You have been put in charge of another person," Ray laughed "You can hardly take care of yourself,"
"Well that's not entirely fair, Ray,"
