The City Of Astan

Louis

I nod and look down, thinking to myself.

Sam

I take my gun from my holster and sigh, thinking of how different this one is from my old one.

Louis

I watch her from the corner of my eye, trying to focus on my work.

Sam

I catch him watching me and I flash a smile, "You can work."

Louis

I flash a smile, "I know. I'd just much rather be doing anything else right now."

Sam

I sigh, standing, "I'm destracing you," I plop back down at my desk, still playing wiith my gun. Wait. I have a tazer now. Heh.

Louis

I watch her leave and frown, looking back down at the paperwork. I think about where I'll have to stay now and pray it's not with Andy. He's a freak at work... I don't want to know what he's like in the comfort of his own home...

Sam

I watch him get back down to his work and sigh, getting to mine.

Louis

I stop working, just staring at the piece of paper below me as I think. Sh*t... Where will Sam go if I can't have my own place?

Sam

Humming, I take my work in my lap and yawn, closing my eyes for a second.

Louis

I decide to speak with the sheriff, seeing as he's returned from lunch. Closing myself in his office, I ask about my new residence.

"Oh, I would recommend a hotel. At least for you," he says, "You're not the type to stay at another family's home...no offense. We'll pay for half of the room if you choose."

Sam

I finish my work and stand, walking to the sheriff's office. I drop the papers on his desk, "Done."

"Already?" He asks, looking over them.

I nod, "Yep. S'easy."

He nods before sighing, "Go on patrol."

I nod and get my keys, walking out to my car.

Louis

I sit back at my desk, feeling weird about not being in uniform, and watch Sam leave. She'll be sergeant in no time. So much for my experience.

Sam

I drive around, bored, and take a deep breath, not seeing any trouble.

Louis

Annoyed, I get the okay to head out on patrol without Andy. I slip in my car and head out, sighing as I search for Sam.
