[color=wheat][indent][indent][indent]Aiden stood there for a long few moments. It was only like a few seconds in real time, but in his head, it was an eternity. [i]This[/i] was the guy that Dallas struggled to get over? It wasn’t a first impression because Aiden had run into him a few times and had [i]heard[/i] things but what he saw was someone who was a bit of an asshole. Well, no not just a bit. He [i]was[/i] an asshole.  And that was just based off of the information he had based off of this short interaction and what he knew from what Dal told him.

But what was even worse, he couldn’t even bother to get Aiden’s name memorized. That annoyed him most of all.

[color=ff4500]“It’s [i]Aiden[/i],”[/color] he spat out in a mutter. If Officer Lockwood heard him, well he couldn’t care less.

But Aiden was a good soldier. Good soldiers follow orders, so he hopped into the passenger side, the door opening with a mechanical [i]click[/i] and then he slammed it with a loud [i]thud[/i]. He followed orders, so their captain can’t ever write him up for insubordination. But he knew that little action wasn’t gonna win him any brownie points with Valentino Lockwood.

Aiden wondered what it would be like out there. EVen as he sat down and put on his seatbelt, he wondered just how much of a madhouse it was going to be today. Power was out and with the rising tensions between the expansion of the town and those who were put out of a job, Aiden was only guessing here, but he figured there had to have been some people out there willing to risk anything to get some money in their pockets. Power outage meant people would be vulnerable. It hurt his heart that people in Pines would do that but he also understood what desperate times made people do.

He prayed it never came to that.

Refocusing, Aiden took it upon himself to get the computer up and running, checking to see if any alerts came in. Thankfully, nothing has. In his mind, he didn’t want to voice his relief because he knew as soon as he did, that would curse their shift. So, instead, he looked at Valen. [color=ff4500]“Ready when you are…[i]partner[/i].”[/color] That last word was said with more venom than the entire island of Snake Island off the coast of Brazil.
