Friday morning, Hayley walked into the station house wondering what today would bring. She knew she’d have to brief everyone on Detective Cooley’s status, which meant she’d need to get an update herself first, and she needed to look at the roster to see who she could pair Reed up with, at least for now. Friday, her Monday was typically busy and today was going to be no exception.
She was surprised on her way through the squad room to see that Reed was already in.
“Can I see you in my office a moment, Reed?” she called out to him as she made her way across the room. Then she ignored the jeering at the officer asking what he’d done to get in trouble. She didn’t give them the attention they were after and he could fill them in later, if he chose.
“Yes, Ma’am.” He stood and followed her in.
