After months of seemingly endless amounts of classes, paperwork, and lectures we were finally done with Depot Division and ready to join the ranks of our department. All you could see were the row of rookies with huge smiles and polished new equipement. As we sat in the briefing room, we could barely sit still anxiously awaiting our turn to be introduced and given our patrol assignment or, for the lay person, our own portion of the city to "serve and protect." It was then that he walked in. A statue of a man - 6 foot 3 and 230 pounds of solid muscle, he had black hair with highlights of gray and steely eyes that make you feel nervous even when he wasn't looking at you.
