[INDENT]The office was quiet save for the constant tapping of a single pencil against a desk as Commander Daniel Hudson stared at the woman in front of him. Commander of the Homicide Special Section, Hudson looked over a wide variety of units, including but not limited to the Cold Case Special Section which included Detective Priya Khurana, the woman currently sitting in front of him. 

[COLOR=SILVER][B]“Do you know why I had to bring you in here?”[/B] Hudson asked, holding a hand up as Priya went to speak. [B]“It was a rhetorical remark Detective.”[/B][/COLOR] He stated, shifting his gaze to the pile of papers currently sitting in front of him. 

[COLOR=SILVER][B]“As I’m sure you’re aware, shit rolls down from the top. And well when I get covered in it because of your actions, you can bet your ass that you’ll find yourself swimming in it soon afterwards.”[/B][/COLOR] The commander stated as he held up the first piece of paper. [COLOR=SILVER][B]“Look, I get that things are dire out there but to be caught not only aiding but also abetting a suspected vigilante? Two even! We lost a ‘bot to whatever was at the hotel with you. Officer on the scene reported to his superior you gave the order not to pursue.”[/B][/COLOR] Hudson’s eyes looked over his glasses as his gaze turned upwards again and towards Priya. 

[COLOR=SILVER][B]“Where the hell do you get off making calls like that Detective? You’re part of the Cold Case Special Section, I don’t see Special Ops on your badge. You had no authority on that scene, no reason to be there.”[/B][/COLOR] He picked up the next piece of paper as he turned his eyes to read it. [COLOR=SILVER][B]“Which brings me to the next order of business, interference in an ongoing investigation. Really Detective? What made you think just running in there was a good idea? You report the incident and stand by, if the responding officer requests assistance then you may enter the investigation. But your jurisdiction is unsolved investigations, not ongoing ones.”[/B][/COLOR] 

Hudson began to massage his forehead as he looked up to see Priya open her mouth before raising a hand to silence her once again. 

[COLOR=SILVER][B]“I’m not done.”[/B][/COLOR] He stated flatly, shooting down any chance at argument as he lifted another piece of paper up. [COLOR=SILVER][B]“As you’re aware, prostitution is illegal within the State of California, we’re not quite as liberal as Nevada.”[/B][/COLOR] Hudson began as he put the piece of paper down on the desk before jumping from his chair, his hands pounding on the hard oak surface as the veins in his neck and forehead bulged. 

[COLOR=SILVER][B]“Then why the hell did you release those caught in the act of prostitution?”[/B][/COLOR] He roared. [COLOR=SILVER][B]“Is it some ‘sisterhood’ thing, ‘girls gotta stick together’? Because last I checked Detective your job was to enforce the law, not loosely interpret it when a South breeze blows.”[/B][/COLOR] 

[COLOR=SILVER][B]“You’re on desk duty until further notice. If another complaint comes across my desk, you’ll be suspended with pay for a month.”[/B][/COLOR] Hudson stated as he calmly sat back down. [COLOR=SILVER][B]“Now get out of my office. The case backlog only grows the longer you’re in here.”[/B][/COLOR][/INDENT][/INDENT]
