"For the last time, the best cop movies in order; Training Day" Amy started her list, putting one finger up. "Lethal Weapon" Another finger up, "And Fargo." A third and final finger was lifted. "End of discussion."

"Wrong" Neveah and Jake said in synchrony. "Die hard is the best cop movie of all time. One cop heroically saving the day while everyone stands around and watches." Jake finished, the two high fiving each other without glancing at one another.

"It's the story of my life" Jake grinned, looking up at Amy, who was sat on the top of her desk, while Jake sat at his desk, in his chair.

"I like Turner & Hooch" Charles piped up. "Tom Hanks, reluctant friendship with a dog. That hits me where I live" Charles pointed at the place where his heart is.

"No." Rosa denied. "Robocop. It's got everything I like, gratuitous violence." Rosa stopped speaking.

"Oh, I thought you were listing things." Jake looked at the dark haired detective, who was sitting on the filing cabinet behind Jake.

"I was. I'm done" Rosa answered Jake.

"Okay. Neveah, aside from Die Hard, what's another cop movie in your opinion?" Jake asked the redhead, who was sitting in Amy's chair.

"I like Zootopia. Oh! Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Yeah, it's not really a cop movie, but I mean it sort of is." Said detective replied, one leg crossed over the other as she lent back in the chair.

"Let's talk Bad Boys" Gina spoke, walking up to the group with 2 cups of coffee, placing one down in front of Neveah, receiving a smile in return. "That's the perfect cop movie. Mr. Smith lookin' fine. A hot cup of Tea Leoni. Come on."

Terry rolled over in his chair, holding a travel mug filled with coffee. "Francois Truffaut's Breathless." All Terry got in response was weird looks. "What? Terry like foreign films. You guys didn't comment on or give Neveah weird looks for liking Zootopia, why me?"

"That's because she would murder any of us that tried to question her, and frankly I'm kind of scared of her, so I'm not going to try that. However, there is a correct answer to this question, though. So gather round for the greatest cop film of all time. Please refrain from texting during our presentation." Jake spoke, everyone gathering around him to see his computer. Neveah however had nowhere to sit so she planted herself on Rosa's lap, with no complaints from the latter. Jake hit play on his keyboard, showing footage of Hitchcock and an old hooker on June 1st, 2009. "All right, so there's Hitchcock And there's an old hooker." Just as Jake finished speaking, Hitchcock gets kicked in the balls by the hooker, the hooker and her friend running off in separate directions and Hitchcock doubled over in pain. "And there it is."

"Come on guys, that happened 4 years ago." Hitchcock complained from behind the group.

"Shh, this is the best part" Jake shushed Hitchcock. "She comes back, takes the wallet and here she goes!" Jake yelled as the footage showed the hooker kicking Hitchcock in the balls again, once again running off, causing everyone to 'oh' in laughter.
