The Rookie

Beretta was just parking her beater of a Crown Victoria and walked toward her precinct office building. it was a warm dat and and she was emailed orders to meet up with a police chief named Chief Shackles. The desk sergeant was a huge earth earth pony such as herself but maybe not the 'huge' part though. the pegasi and unicorns looked at her as if she was not meeded.

"I'm here to brief with Chief Shackles, where might i find him?"

"Well miss, as you are expected head to the conference room- number 1309 on the third floor." Beretta began her trek to the elevator and paused - she breathed slowly and thrm kept walking. She found the office and tapped on the door.

"Good morning Chief Shackles, I'm Beretta and i was told that you were going to brief me amd assign me to the officer I'm partnering with."

"Miss Beretta, you'll be working with Sergeant Spearhead this week and he'll show you how we run this precinct. Further more, your crusier number is Cruiser #0357, it's an old model Crown Victoria but she's a solid vehicle."

"Yes sir" was the short reply and after instructions on where to find her partner. Beretta found her target, Officer Drift at the cruiser sipping coffee and holding a second cup.

"You're my new partner? I was expecting a man to show up but you'll do little lass....fuck it, from what I've heard you were top of your class but yiur weak point was your planning your exit strategies."

"I forget to plan my retreat....however, i am trying to get better at that." Beretta began to climb into the passenger seat whem drift cleared his throat.

"You're driving kiddo, today we are assigned to visit a school and give a Q & A with local EMS." Officer Drift was of the pegasus species and he was tall and kinda good looking for one his age - Drift was in his forties and looked it but he was active and spry as someone in their twenties.

They arrived at the school and donned their body armor and grabbed the orange training guns for the kids to hold and get a feel for the real thing. Beretta had caught Drift looking her over a couople of times and had to confront him about it.

"You remind me of a prior partner about twenty-two years ago who died in the line of duty; he was married and was expecting a kid. Now Beretta what was your dad's name?"
"He was known to the department as 'Rogue One' because he liked to go rogue and jump the gun on ops, but his legal name was Remington."

"I knew him and his last words were to help take care of you and i have in small ways that you dont know about. Now i need to keep you alive."

The Q & A went smoothly and one dows suppise that there is one in every class that has to ask if you shot somebody and if there was a ton of blood. Beretta felt concerned when one kid asksd those questions and also asked if they had stopped any rapes that were in process.

"Officer Drift....I feel like that kid doesn't have any internet limits, he ran into me earlier in the hall and his sketch book fell open and he has drawn some risqué pictures."

"His mom tries her best while his dad is in prison for distribution of porn and some trafficking and prostitution dealings. Yes I know his situation and just about half the people in Las Pegasus and doy best to help them. By the way...we need tl finish your processing for the department records."

"Celestia Damn it! I tried to forget that." The pair laughed as Beretta started the cruiser and began to drive.
