“Congratulations, Detective Warren. Another case solved! In record time! How many days it took for you to solve the case? 4 or 5 days I guess?” Captain McCrea, a balding old man asked as he sat on his seat and gestured Detective James Warren to take the vacant seat across his desk. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FJioEvR2g
Warren inclined and gave Captain McCrea an unnerving look. “7 days, actually.” He answered curtly. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3dgo8K9A3
The moment Warren stepped the captain’s office he knew something was fishy. Captain McCrea never looked at him and his partner in the eye, let alone congratulate them. They interacted for their cases, only. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwkYPmrnqC
“Sorry, I’m late. Got held back.” Warren’s partner Frederick Gilzean said as he entered the Captain’s office and took the seat beside Warren. McCrea frowned as Gilzean got comfortable in the chair and began spinning the paper holder. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG1trUzi3Y
He never liked the duo and would love to transfer them. But they were the top detectives of the agency and are practically their backbone. The two cops noticed the captain’s abrupt silence and shared a glance. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDygk7IV4Eu
“Are we here for a tea party? Eh, McCrea?” Gilzean being the laid back and down to earth of the two of them said hoisting up his feet on the man’s desk. “Legs down please, Detective Gilzean.” McCrea said with a huff of annoyance. He was ignored.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCOxxKzf0m
“Many colleagues in our department have complained to me about your disrespectful behavior towards them and if you two don’t put up with them, then I am afraid I might have to talk to the commissioner concerning you both. Gentlemen, I regret to say that if you two continued with your attitude towards your co-workers then I might have to transfer you to another station.” Captain McCrea said straightening himself up. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4n5fSQrPp
Gilzean laughed loudly finding the whole situation incredibly funny, meanwhile Warren raised an amused eyebrow. “Let me take a wild guess… you happen to be one of those ‘colleagues’?” Warren asked coolly. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48ja8UQvG8
Captain McCrea frowned but kept his mouth shut. Refusing to deny or confirm Warren’s statement. Gilzean grinned obnoxiously at his boss. Warren leaned back in his chair with a self-satisfied smirk. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxQkxTV61a
“So… that was all you summoned us for?” Gilzean asked as silence passed between he trio. The aging man sighed at the duo’s nonchalance in exasperation. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9gwtpZ1kL
“No, I’ve got a case for you two.” He said sliding a red folder across the table.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpTOd7e5QP
