GCPD: Joining the Ship with More
Donuts
1999/01/22
[...Chris <cs_bwayne@hotmail.com> begins...]
> Apparently, Bullock still has some unresolved issues about the
> partner switch, with Renee asking to be moved into Special
> Investigations, alongside Loren.
Chris: Hey, Loren, what's all this I hear about Renee moving into our
division?
Loren: Well, um...
Renee steps in with a large box, which she plops down on Chris's
desk.
Renee: Haven't you packed up yet?
Chris: Huh? What?
Renee: You've been moved to Major Crimes, bud. You get to work with
Bullock, now.
Chris: What? How come no one told me?!?
Renee: You should have received a notice in your mailbox five days
ago. You then had two days to launch a protest,
reasoning why
you shouldn't be transferred. Otherwise, the decision
goes into
effect today.
Chris: Five days ago? Why, that was the day that Wayne picked up my
mail for me!
Everyone turns to look at Wayne, who's sitting with his feet propped
up on his desk, cleaning his fingernails.
Wayne: Huh? Oh! Sorry, Chris! I um...forgot to tell you that was the
day...um...oh yeah! Remember that strange JC
character we ran
into? Well, I happened upon him nosing around in the
police
records that day there was a brief scuffle, and I
dropped your
mail! Instead of going after him, being the great guy
that I am,
I decided to gather up your mail instead. I might
have missed
a piece...
Chris: Oh, man! Now what am I going to do?
Loren: Wayne! You let that guy escape? How could you?!? We've been
trying to get a lead on him for months!
Wayne: Well, um... [Wayne looks around nervously] I didn't see him
clearly, it could have been someone else....
Sarah: <sigh> Alright, someone's got to check on the records, and try
to figure out if anything's missing.
Kitch: I'm on it!
Sarah: Good. We'll see how we can accommodate the transfer for you,
Chris. Meanwhile, you'll be working with Harvey,
temporarily.
Harvey glares darkly at Chris.
Sarah: Alright folks, let's get back to work...
The office bustles back to its usual busy self. The phones, which
for some inexplicable reason stopped ringing for the charade, begin
blasting away again.
Harvey and Chris stroll out to the car.
Chris: So, Harv...um...know where we could, um...get some good
doughnuts?
Harvey: [suddenly lightening] Doughnuts? Do I ever!
Loren: Hmm....
Renee: What is it?
Loren: Well, as much as I suspect Wayne may have been making up
stories about catching JC in the records room, it did
get me
thinking...
Renee: Really? That's amazing! :)
Loren: Well, thanks, it's really nothi-- Hey!
Renee: [hiding a smile] Please, go on...
Loren: Well, remember that phone call a few months back? I believe JC
then promised his identity would be revealed sometime
around
now...
Renee: And...
Loren: Well, what if he were not stealing records, but planting them?
[Pi <Pi@stsm.demon.co.uk> continues...]
Peering through a crack in the doorway, the man known only as Pi
smiles slightly at the confusion he and his agents have created and,
in a crisp English master-villain accent remarks:
Pi: How very entertaining... >-)
The figure moves away from the office, casually leafing through the
open file in his hands...
