sighs heavily Intense doesn't even begin to cover it, Dad. I mean, I saw some things... things that messed with my head. narrows her eyes
So did I when I was your age
pauses, then composes herself Really? You too? But... but it's different now, Dad. We're dealing with more dangerous criminals.
clenches her fists Damn it, Dad! I can't believe we're even talking about this. I don't need you bringing up the past!
You think I'm bringing up the past?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down No, Dad. I'm sorry. It's just... I'm worried. I want to do this right, but... her voice breaks
Look Sam you're doing fine
sniffs, wipes away tears Fine? You think saying "fine" will make everything okay, Dad? sighs heavily I need more than just a pat on the back here.
firmly Well, then prove it, Dad. Show me what I need to do to become the best cop I can be. Don't just tell me I'm fine when I clearly need guidance.
Okay you ready for this then
looks at her father with determination Yes, I'm ready. I need to show you that I have what it takes to be a great cop. Let's do this, Dad.
You go to the precinct and ask Captain Rivers where the training center is. Tell him I sent you
nods firmly Got it, Dad. I'll head to the precinct right now and speak to Captain Rivers. I won't let you down.
quickly grabs her jacket and keys, heads towards the door I'll be leaving now, Dad. I'll make sure to follow your advice and give it my all.
determinedly walks out the door, heading towards the precinct This is it, Dad. Time to prove myself. I won't disappoint you.
Samantha arrives at the precinct and speaks to Captain Rivers, who directs her to the training center. She begins her rigorous training, determined to become the best cop she can be.
