It wasn't like she was expecting a parade.

In fact, she wasn't expecting much. After all, helping take down a hostage situation and getting gang members who were terrorizing a neighborhood arrested should at least get a commendation right? She also helped save a bunch of women who were under threat of violence. Prostitutes or not, they were forced to be there. That deserved a pat on the back, right?

So why was it that instead of getting at least a high five, she sat in the office of her boss and was chastised like a 5-year-old? On top of that, she was made out to be the bad guy. Last time she checked, she didn't kill anyone. She didn't threaten anyone. She didn't kidnap and extort anyone, so why was she made to feel like that? She wanted to give her boss what for, but she bit her tongue. It wasn't a fight for now and if this is how she would be treated after years of dedicated service, she would just have to make do.

For now...

She had to count her blessings that she wasn't put on probation. Desk duty was a punishment in its own right. She couldn't do much without being on the field. And she [i]needed[/i] to be on the field. Recent events made her more aware that something else was going on. She wasn't able to meet Duos afterward, but she saw the destroyed bot in the lobby. It was...interesting to say the least. She knew she had the hyperhuman gene inside of her, but she kept it somewhat hidden. Very few people knew. Was Duos also one? She made a mental note to track him down.

As she entered the detective's lobby, she met a few eyes. There were some that gave her a nod. A nod that said, "You did good work." Others gave her a stare that said, "You walked on my territory. Watch yourself." She wasn't about to sell out Paul, who gave her the tip. She was in the right place and the right time, is all. Paul later told her how thankful he was she was ok and alive. He was responsible for the back-up that came. "What happened?", he asked. She merely said they stopped the bad guys. For today, at least.

Something nagged at her. Surely those guys were part of something bigger. If that were the case...who was it? Someone led that whole ordeal. Someone with power. Someone higher up. Was it the Chief? Could be, it would explain why he was so angry at her, but why not put her on probation right away? To make it look like he isn't? All this gave her a pounding headache.

She had to leave. She had to do the footwork. But she had to be sneaky about it. Paul promised to watch out for her in the office, so when the opportunity presented itself, she made her way out of the office and on to the streets of Crescent City.

The only question now was....what was she going to do?
