Until You Met Me | girlxgirl

Trouble

That morning Allison and Charlie arrived at work together like every day, but the morning started out very differently when they were asked by the captain to join him at his office.

They looked at each other really confused, they hadn't done anything wrong, their last shift had been rather boring.

"Sit down, officers," Captain Martinez said as he shut the door. When they turned around, they realized there were another three people in the room. Their Sergeant, who they were good friends with, and two men they hadn't met before.

They sat in the two available chairs. Allison couldn't help but be nervous, she hadn't even been on the job for more than a month, and she was already in trouble. Charlie, on the other hand, was more optimistic. She thought that maybe they wanted them on a special operation or something, she definitely didn't expect what was about to happen.

"Officer Reigns, Officer Benzinni, this is Dawson James and Frederic George from internal affairs," Charlotte's face changed drastically. Ali didn't catch on that quickly.

"I don't understand," Charlotte sounded as confused as could be expected from an innocent person. "What happened?"

"Last night, you arrested a Harry Long on West 23rd Street after a dispute with a co-worker, is that right?" The older man from the pair of IA agents asked. Allison was still confused.

"Yes, but sorry, I'm just really confused. What is going on?" Allison looked at Charlie, looking for an explanation, but as an officer with a few years of experience, she knew that what was best in those situations was for them to keep their mouth shut and just answer the questions asked by the agents truthfully.

"Benzinni, Internal affairs is here to investigate something that happened last night with your arrest," Sergeant Wells tried explaining to the rookie. "Just answer their questions, and everything will be fine."

Allison nodded, still not understanding what could have gone wrong with that arrest, it was simple and straightforward, or that was what she thought.

"Can either of you walk me through the arrest and his booking?"

"We were about to go for our lunch break when we got called into a dispute on 23rd Street. When we got there, we saw that Mr. Long was armed with a knife, so we drew our guns, kept our distance, and tried talking him into leaving the knife on the floor."

"Do you know what the dispute was about?" The youngest IA agent now talked, taking notes on his notepad.

"It was a work dispute, the other man was Mr. Long's employee. When we questioned him, he just said there had been a disagreement but didn't want to press charges" This time, Allison was the one to answer.

"Why was he arrested then?"

"While trying to talk him out of the knife, he went towards Officer Benzinni, so I took out my taser and tased him." Charlie took back the explaining, giving Allison a look she understood to mean to let her talk. "He was handcuffed, and after questioning the employee, he was brought into booking."

"Were both of you together at all times while being in the precinct?"

They took a moment to think. Allison quickly remembered that Charlotte had gone to the bathroom before heading back out, but that was the only time they had separated. Charlotte wasn't so quick to remember, though, so Allison thought she would help and just tell the truth.

"At all times except for a moment when Officer Reigns went to the bathroom while I started up the car," She said truthfully but got scared when at that moment both agents stood up, closing their notepads, they turned to look at the captain, and he also stood up.
