Captain Esteban picked up his step on his way to the briefing room. The reverie he had entered in his office had him running late. Dossiers under one arm and case files under the other, Esteban quickly made his way through the corridors of #36 Precinct. Strangely, it already felt more like home than all of his previous assignments in the megapoli back East.
Stopping briefly before entering, he watched as Cotton straightened, as if sensing his approach, and the rookies sitting in various states of wariness...
Still waiting for the elusive Captain to arrive, Carrie Perns sat back and watched the brief exchanges between her soon to be partners. They were all new to her, save Ricks Marli, whom she recognized from mugshots she perused during her previous stint in Florida. As an experienced officer in the Vice squad, she could hardly believe that a criminal could ever be let to serve and protect, but she had seen stranger things. Besides, Vice regularly used snitches and rabble as valubale contacts on the streets, so reforming one and letting him play cop seemed like a natural result of such practices.
Looking over the others, she could see that Meyner was the type of guy bred for combat, probably through the military or by extended family history on the force. The guy who zinged him seemed experienced as well, Marli was an ex-criminal and Hammond was fresh out of the academy. That left the other woman as a question mark in her book. Hopefully, Captain Esteban would clear all of that up before moving on to business.
As if on cue, Ruis Esteban stepped through the door and dropped all the documents he was carrying on the table with a resounding "thud". Straightning himself, he glanced at Lt. Cotton and began the meeting.
