Summary: …the usually cozy and noisy squad room was dead silent.


It was a slow day.

Nothing but paperwork, and stale coffee from the break room, thanks to the fact they hadn't had a chance to get out and get some real coffee.

What was eerie was that the usually cozy and noisy squad room was dead silent.

Glancing up from her paperwork, Alex Eames watched her partner for a moment, before looking to the Captain's office. Instead of Deakins sitting there, like it had been for the past 5 years, there was a strange man. Their new Captain.

And to her far left, sitting in a once vacant desk, was Detective Megan Wheeler. Logan's new partner. Pulling out a sticky note, she scribbled something onto it and passed it to Goren.

The larger detective glanced down at the stick, and a slight grinned passed across his lips.

It simply read: This sucks.
