Thefts have doubled this quarter. We need to strategize.
Got it, boss. Any leads on the latest incident?
narrows her eyes Actually, there is something peculiar about this latest theft. The owner reported that the thief seemed to know exactly what they were looking for. They targeted specific items with high-value sentimental value.
Huh, that's interesting. Sounds like a professional job. Any signs of forced entry or tampering with security cameras?
leans forward, pointing at the crime scene photos on the table No signs of forced entry or tampering with the security cameras. It's almost as if they had inside help.
Inside help, huh? You think someone on your team could be dirty?
leans back, crossing her arms I can't rule out any possibilities. But I have complete faith in my team.
Okay, boss. If you say so. What's our next move then?
leans forward, staring intensely Our next move is to thoroughly investigate every member of the force.
Understood, boss. Anything specific you want me to look into?
takes out a folder and hands it to WeareSummers Here's a list of names. I want you to dig deep into their backgrounds, financial records, and any connections they may have. We need to find any inconsistencies or red flags that could indicate wrongdoing.
Alright, boss. Consider it done. I'll get right on it.
stands up abruptly Good. And remember, discretion is key.
Got it, boss. I'll keep it quiet. No need to worry.
walks over to Abigail, ruffling her hair Don't worry, sweetheart. Daddy and I will catch the bad guys and make sure everything is safe again.
Right, boss. We'll keep our little girl safe. No one messes with our family.
walks back to her desk, picks up the phone I'm going to contact our informant on the streets, see if they've heard anything about these thefts.
nods, starts making calls
dials the number for the informant, listens intently Yeah, it's Kate. I need you to dig deep and find out anything you can about these thefts. I want names, faces, and connections. Time is of the essence. Informant: on the other end of the line I'll do my best, Kate. But remember, I don't come cheap. You know the deal.
heads outside to grab a smoke
pauses, thinking for a moment Fine, I'll agree to your terms. But you better deliver results this time. I won't tolerate any more failures.
returns with a lit cigarette Anything from the snitch?
puts the phone on speaker Not yet, but he promised to get back to me soon. Until then, we continue to investigate every angle.
chuckles Yeah, well, that damn snitch better come through. We can't afford another dead end.
sighs heavily We'll keep working tirelessly until we crack this case. I won't rest until justice is served and our town is safe again.
blows out smoke I hear ya, boss. Let's nail those bastards.
pauses, deep in thought I've been pondering something... Maybe we're looking at this all wrong. Instead of focusing on the stolen items themselves, what if we're missing a bigger picture?
Bigger picture? What do you mean, boss?
leans in closer, lowering her voice What if these thefts are not random acts of crime? What if there's a larger organization behind them?
raises an eyebrow An organization, boss? You think there's something bigger at play here?
paces back and forth, speaking with urgency Yes, WeareSummers.
Holy shit, boss! An organized crew? That raises a whole new level of threat. How do we proceed?
stops pacing, looks directly at WeareSummers We need to gather intelligence.
Intell? Shit, boss, we're gonna need some heavy hitters for this.
nods, determined Agreed. We need to reach out to our allies and assemble a task force.
smirks A task force, huh? That's gonna be one hell of a party. Where do we start?
pulls out her phone and starts making calls We start by reaching out to the FBI and our counterparts in neighboring jurisdictions.
