Separation of Powers
Russ and Holly, 100 words.
"Hey, you're trying to get into law school. You ever study the Constitution?" Russ asked as he hung around Holly's desk, idly toying with her nameplate.
"A little. Why?"
"I mainly know the Bill of Rights, but there's got to be something in there that says the FBI can't stick the city with an agent we don't need, right? Some kind of separation of powers thing where I can catch murderers on my own without Dudley Do-Right over there?"
Holly shook her head. "I don't think the constitution says anything about that. I think you're stuck with Milt, Russ."
"Damn."
