Chapter 27-Captain Stabler
As one leader steps down another steps up to fill his shoes. Well near twenty years and it all finally pays off. All of the hard work, hours, and dedication put into police work has become worth it.
The Chief of the New York Police Department was sitting at his desk filing papers.
"Detective Elliot Stabler is here to see you sir," the secretary said over the phone.
"Send him in," he said back with a smile.
Elliot knocks on the door.
"Come in!" The Chief barked.
"Sir," Elliot said confused as to why he was there.
"The Special Victims Unit had lost their Captain," he said to Elliot as he got up to get some coffee.
"Yes sir," Elliot watched as the man sat back down.
"They need a new leader," he raised his eyebrows to Elliot. "Every unit needs a leader."
"Yes sir, but sir why am I here? Why are you telling me all this?"
"Detective Stabler, I believe that you are the perfect man for the job."
"Sir…I…really?" Elliot cocked his head and looked at the Chief.
"You have been there the longest and you are the most qualified." He reached his hand out towards Elliot's.
Elliot stretched his hand out as well. "Thank you sir. This is a great honor."
"Now go lead your unit, Captain," he soluted Elliot.
Elliot soluted back.
