Chapter 5

The team was let back in the building three days later which gave each of them time to get some rest. They moved as much as they could from the murder room into the hall way to go through the files. The murder room was a disaster, and would take more than cleaning to return it to what it once was. The team was aware of Sharon, and Fritz having a hush, hush conversation further down the hall. Once in a while Andy, and the team would look their way trying to hear, or make out by body language what was being said.

Julio nodded to the team just in time to see Sharon's reaction to Fritz leading her into Taylors' office.

"This is it, she is Assistant Chief", Andy said looking at the team.

"Let's hope so", said Julio still looking at the empty space just occupied by his Captain a few minutes ago.

"Wait, she has to get it. Look at what she did there?" Nolan voiced looking at the rest of the team.

"Oh, yeah wait and see", Julio bend down for another box while Nolan still have a disbelieve look on his face.

The rest of the team continued to sort through the many files without saying any more because they knew how politics was played around there.

After half an hour passed Sharon came through the doors with a shock look on her face. What she went in for was not what she expected at all. She knows the team will be surprise as well. After seeing her Andy cleared his throat to alert the rest of the team.

"So how did it go?" he asked putting the file in his hands down as he waited for her answer.

Without saying a word she opened the box they did not notice in her hands for them to see.

"Wow…. Oh…They promoted you to Commander", Andy said as he walked towards her. "But what about the Assistant chief position. Looking at the team because they all had worried looks on their faces".

"Mason, he got the job", she said shrugging her shoulders. The team reactions was not what she was hoping for.

"Ok", they said a bit more subdue still not really voicing what they really think. To be honest she still not sure what to think about Mason, but time will tell.
