Adrian and Dimitri had been partners for a few years. Their captain had a hard time pairing those two, and finally shoved them together.
It had been hate at first sight. Adrian was just a rookie back then with a chip on his shoulder, which didn't impress the more level headed Dimitri. But as time went by, Adrian proved himself, and after the trial period as partners, Dimitri formally accepted him as his right hand man.
He had taken Adrian under his wing, so I couldn't even begin to imagine the guilt Adrian must've felt when in the middle of a car chase, he tried to pass a red light to catch the suspect, only to have a semi-truck ram into them from the side.
The passenger side… where Dimitri was.
I didn't blame him, even when he asked for forgiveness; I told him there was nothing to forgive. The accident hadn't been his fault, but I had a feeling it was going to take him a long time to forgive himself.
