Sunbucks Cafe

The Chief gave her a look.

It would have killed most officers where they stood. They would have melted into little puddles and coalesced into a ball of pure panic, for they would have known the end was nigh.

Hull whistled under his breath, and the room went deathly quiet.

Now, the Chief is a large man. He's been trying to diet, and has in fact lost 50 pounds since the failed assassination attempt and subsequent diabetes scare. Despite that, he's still a good 250 or so. Most people that didn't know him would say he was a slug that sat behind a desk, but the people that do know him are aware that he started out as a rookie like anyone else, and had risen the ranks on merit alone.

"All I wanted," he said in a deathly quiet tone, "was to enjoy my f***ing coffee in peace."

One second he's ten feet away from her, the next he's next to her. The next second she's sprawled on the ground, the cube skittering across the floor. The officers in Sunbucks blink in surprise, and the mysterious woman is the most shocked of all; never underestimate the LPI.

"SEYMORE! MASKET!" he bellowed.

Both jumped to attention and were next to him in two seconds. They said in unison, "YES SIR?"

"Take this one to her ship, and if she doesn't have one book her a flight to Manhattan. I want her off my gorramn station. Don't forget to let her have her toy. After you taze it a couple times."

Masket pulls his tazer and zaps it on maximum setting. Seymore picks the woman up and they both leave on quick feet, eager to avoid the Chief's wrath. Before they're out the door, Captain Joe Smith appears and tazes her a couple times for good measure. For once, the Chief doesn't berate him for being tazer-happy.

Myers sits down at the bar and takes a long pull of his coffee. Just another day.
