Partner? Can you hear me? It's Virdi.
Thank goodness. Where are you? Are you injured? We need to get out of here, now.
No I am ok, I have found something though
What did you find, partner? Is there any danger nearby? We need to proceed with caution.
no real danger close by, but it is why I wanted you to call us back, we can't leave without showing this to detective stone
Show me what you found, partner. We can't afford any delays. Detective Stone needs to see this evidence immediately.
It isn't something that will fit into my pockets unfortunately, but follow me to see what I found Grinning he leads her to a wall with the debris of a filing cabinet pulled away revealing dozens of folders all on a numerous subjects most being wanted criminals and how their cases were botched to the point of getting them released from custody, One subject that stands out however is for a criminal wanted for multiple capital crimes, and its his file that is at the very front of the pile
gasps Partner, this is incredible! We've hit the jackpot. This evidence will bring down some high-ranking officials, maybe even the entire police department. We have to get this to Detective Stone immediately. Let's move quickly and carefully. We don't want anyone else getting wind of this.
Agreed, luckily this is mostly abandoned so the only threat is possible trips over our own feet or falling asleep He laughs lightly before getting his radio out again detective stone we found something big, be prepared to see numerous arrested when we get back to headquarters
Thank you, partner. I appreciate your diligence and quick thinking. With these files, we'll be able to expose the corruption and bring justice to those who have evaded it for far too long. Let's make sure we secure this evidence properly and present it to Detective Stone as soon as possible. Together, we're going to make a difference.
Thanks Virdi you know I would do this for anyone, but especially you, we head back to headquarters now I'll secure the area around this building while you radio the detective
Understood, partner. While you secure the perimeter, I'll contact Detective Stone and inform him of our discovery. We'll meet back at the headquarters and present this evidence together. Remember, safety first. I'll wait for your signal before heading out. Let's bring justice to those who deserve it.
After securing the area and making sure no immediate danger is nearby he radios back Come on Virdi, we can leave now
nods and follows Groschro, staying alert and scanning their surroundings Partner, let's not waste any more time. We have crucial evidence that could change the course of justice. I'll stay close behind you and watch our backs. We're in this together, remember? Safety always comes first.
Indeed Virdi Once they reach the squad car he opens the doors for both him and Virdi to get in before getting into the drivers seat himself and beginning to drive back to headquarters I'm glad we found this stuff, this is why we became cops right? To make sure people can sleep safe at night knowing justice is being served
smiles warmly That's exactly why we became cops, partner. To protect the innocent and bring criminals to justice. And today, we're going to do just that.
You said it perfectly Virdi, lets just hope that this case doesn't end up corrupting us too like it did everyone else
pauses for a moment, glancing over at Groschro Don't worry, partner.
Why won't you worry partner, I've seen how many good people that have entered this job come out rotten on the inside, people that had the same mindset we do, and those that are pure of intention like us, and if we aren't careful we become a bad apple too
takes a deep breath, determination in her eyes You're right, partner. We need to stay vigilant and keep our integrity intact.
Indeed we do, some day soon I'd love to retire and die peacefully at night with nothing on my mind
places a gentle hand on Groschro's shoulder I understand, partner. The weight of corruption can be overwhelming, but together we can fight against it.
I hope we're able to do that, now I know we just became partners but I feel a connection between us that makes me think we're supposed to be friends... I'm also going to say that here and now, I think I might actually have feelings for you, and I know it's sudden but I really like you Virdi
smiles softly Thank you for sharing that with me, partner. I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability.
Yeah, well, after seeing how much trouble detective stone went through to keep his integrity while he worked the highest-profile case in city history I knew I wanted a similar career to him, wouldn't have expected it to lead to this but here we are, but I'm hoping you feel the same way
touches Groschro's hand gently I understand, partner.
Don't worry I'm not expecting an answer right this instant, it's just been on my mind lately, you think about it okay? If you ever want to date or anything just shoot me a call, I ain't one to beat around the bush ya know
nods understandingly Thank you for your honesty, partner. I appreciate your consideration and openness. I'll definitely take your offer into account.
At least I'm open to you anyway he laughs softly we pull up to headquarters now, shall we go make history?
gathers her courage, looks directly into his eyes Partner, I have something to confess.
