Time: 11:44 A.M.
Location: Camelot Police Department (CPD)
Arthur sat in his office at CPD (Camelot Police Department).
His office was larger than most others in the building, but what would you expect from the son of the superintendent. His desk was positioned so that all he had to do was look up when someone entered his office. Beside his desk, to the right, were two gray steel filing cabinets. Across the room from him, beside the door, were bookshelves, many filled with untouched law books and decorative potted plants. Adjacent to both sides of the room, the farthest wall, was a large window, spanning almost every inch of the wall, both by width and length. In front of the window was a coffee table surrounded by four cushioned chairs. The walls of the room were a mellow red, with a deep brown wood floor.
Arthur looked up from his paperwork, to see who had opened up his office door and scowled at the unwanted visitor.
"Hey princess."
Arthur groaned to see his half-sister Morgana, a teasing smile on her face, and wearing a dark purple collared shirt, black suit jacket on top, and black skirt. He groaned even more so at the stack of papers that she held in her hands.
"Gosh! Morgana, it's bad enough when it's Gwaine, not you too!" She continued to smile and moved forward into Arthur's office, closing the door behind her.
She was a renowned lawyer in an office building two blocks down. Even from when she first moved in with Arthur and his father, Uther, she was a strong feisty lady. The very opposite of her secretary, Guinevere- also known as Gwen.
Gwen was a sometimes shy, peaceful girl. However, that didn't mean that the two of them weren't alike in other ways. Both were gentle and sweet, (more so on Gwen's side), and dangerous when tempted, (mainly Morgana's attribute.)
Gwen constantly came by with Morgana to retreive case files or bring by notes, or simply to visit other fellow officers.
Morgana smoothly sat down in one of the chairs by the coffee table. Arthur followed, sitting across from her. Morgana dropped the stack of files onto the table with a thump. She smiled sweetly at Arthur, who in return smiled sarcastically.
"I like what you've done with the place."
"Shut it. You never did, nor will, like my ideas."
"Not true! I like your hair cut. It hides the fact that your head is hollow."
Arthur shook his head in annoyance, and gestured to the stack of papers. "Those aren't mine."
"Well too bad. They are." Morgana not to gently pushed the stack towards Arthur. The stack toppled with a few papers falling out of the files.
"Whoops."
"Remind me what your purpose was here again? 'Cause if it's just to drop off this wretched stack, then you may get out."
"First, you have no reason to take your frustrations out on me, and second, yes I have some other reason for being here. Don't think for a second that I would willingly stand in the same room as you!"
Arthur nodded for her to go on, not really truly paying attention though, as he had grabbed a file and had started peering over it.
"So you don't know about the transfer?"
Arthur looked up quickly. "What transfer?"
Morgana smirked and leaned back in her chair, holding out her hand towards Arthur, and motioning it in a 'gimmie' motion.
Arthur sighed and returned her look with an 'are you being serious' stare. He in turn fished his wallet from his back pocket, depositing $20 into her waiting hand. He repeated himself.
"What transfer?"
Morgana laughed and shook her head at Arthur's misfortune.
"His name's Colin. He's being transferred to our department from the Wellingspun Police Department, in Wellingspun, a couple cities south of us."
Author's Note: If you hadn't realized it yet, that place is totally made up. Coincidence if it's really real!
"I know. There's no need for a geography lesson."
"Humph. Anyways, he's coming over as a CSI, forensic scientist, and -"
"He's both?"
"Yes Arthur. I know it's hard for you, but please keep up. He also a crime lab technician and a certified crime scene photographer. Anyways, he's going to helping Gaius in the lab."
Arthur scowled at Morgana, before his face warped into slightly surprised shock.
"He does all of that?! And not only that, but Gaius doesn't let anyone just work in his lab."
Arthur paused to let it sink in before he noticed Morgana's face.
"Of course he could have just paid money to get in. And becoming all of those isn't that hard, they are all practically the same degree. It's not like I'm going to be seeing him anyways."
All through this self absorbed rant, Morgana had stood up and fixed her appearance and was just about to walk out the door.
"Oh, I forgot. When I say he's being transferred, not only is that from Wellingspun to Camelot, but also transferring to your team."
"Wait, he i-"
"Bye!"
The door clicked shut leaving Arthur alone in his office.
Arthur leaned back in his chair.
'Well Colin. You'd better be ready.'
This was also, sort of an introduction chapter.
To my readers, if you need me to post a separate chapter, or even an author's note to keep track of the characters and who they play in the story, please don't hesitate to tell me! I love criticisms, (only if the criticizer has in mind that they are simply trying to help). They make my writing better, which makes your reading better!
Each chapter is probably going to be around 700-900 words, if you care to know.
I want to thank you guys for giving this story a chance! Thank you and have a wonderful day! (or night!)
