Central bell tower, Deputy commissioner Gerda's office, Mid December,3:00pm

Deputy Commissioner Gerda has just finished some paperwork, and is currently resting. She is still a bit shaken about what had happened over three weeks ago. Where two of her best teams are put out of field duties temporarily while waiting for the fallout from the ghost incident to die down.

She knows that it is nothing personal, as it is part of her job as a commanding officer. However, by putting Inspector Frida and her team out of action even temporarily would make it difficult for her to keep an eye on her boss, Commissioner Erik Ahlberg, and to reduce the harm from his plans. As she recruited David, Frida, and Hilda originally as a way to keep an eye on her boss and reduce the harm from his plans, unknown to her boss. In spite their short service record they have proven to be among the best officers in the Trolberg Safety Patrol.

However, he was convinced by her that it is a way for him to keep an eye on them. Commissioner Ahlberg and his committee have been going back and forth from city hall since the conclusion of the inquiry. From her sources within the city hall, she was told it has something to do with his plans for Trolberg, which worried her as it is already in phase two and the incident that had happened before the inquiry will result in the phase three of the Plan being brought forward.

As of now Commissioner Ahlberg and his committee are in City Hall since morning, from what she was told they are finalising the discussion for his plan for Trolberg, together with the Representative and Mayor. Which worried her, as Deputy Commissioner Gerda hoped that the phase three of his plan will not be brought forward and her boss will not find the real reason why she recruited the trio in the first place, what she is currently doing in secret and what she had done before the trio joined and Safety Patrol in order to reduce the fallout from his plans.

She is then snapped out of the trance by the ringing of her phone, when she looked at the ID which showed the Deputy Mayor, she feared for the worse.

Gerda: Hello Altmeyer, any news from your side?

Altmeyer: You are not going to believe this I have great news for you, regarding the plan made by the Representative, Mayor, and Commissioner Ahlberg.

Gerda: Go on spill it Altmeyer what do you have.

Altmeyer: Don't tell anyone about his until, they have officially informed everyone about it. Phase three has been pushed back to start in Mid-May after the State budget in end April.

Gerda: Are you serious Altmeyer ? It has been pushed back to start in Mid-May.

Altmeyer: Yes, I am serious. The chaos caused by your officers during their investigation or the ghost incident last October, involving ghosts that have been terrorising Trolberg has caused a lot of stir in the city, as you have already known.

Gerda: Yes, two of my best teams were relegated to admin duties until further notice because of this and they still are. What about it?

Altmeyer: It actually worked in our favour. Anyway, here is the thing now we are planning phase 2A, which is to start in the last week of December and the overall four phase plan has been reduced from its original scale as we intended when it reaches the end of the final phase, also we are planning to table the new revisions of the final two phases, to the federal and state assembly later. Keep it between us until they officially send out the notification.

Gerda: Thank you Altmeyer.

She then hung up and smiled to herself, as despite taking out two of her best teams from the field as a result of the ghost incident. She managed to get a boost for the plan to scale down her boss's plan for Trolberg, as result of the ghost incident which she thought will cause his plan to be brought forward.

However, she is still unhappy that two of her best teams are out of the field, but she will take things one step at a time.


Note:

Thank you for reading this short chapter, I may currently not be able to upload consistently as I am working on another Hilda fanfic which gives Deputy Gerda a back story before she moved Trolberg and before she joined the Safety Patrol, and also due to personal reasons.
