The Other Detective PD

The New Detective

Ashley woke up at the usual time of 4 in the morning before going for her usual 1 hour run.
Returning home she got a shower for 15 minutes. Staying in her towel as she made a smoothie for her breakfast.
That took another 30 minutes to make and eat it. She then spent 15 minutes checking her emails.

Having 1 and a half hours, Ashley went to the bathroom and sat on her vanity. Drying her light brown hair. Surprising since her brothers was black. She then brushed her hair, deciding to keep it down till she got to work. It wasn't often that her hair got in the way.

She used a bit of makeup to give her face a less...Pale look. But it wasn't noticable.
Then she got up. Removing her towel before pulling on her 'underclothes' then her outfit.

Deciding her outfit was good, she headed out of her appartment door, locking it on the way. She had 30 minutes so she just got in her car and drove to the station.

With 5 minutes to spare, she walked inside.

"Hello, what can I help you with?" A woman at the front desk spoke.
"Wow, you look amazing." Ashley smiled to the woman.
"Oh. Uh, thank you." The woman smiled. "Now, how can I help you?" She asked.
"I'm Detective Ashley Rhodes." She explained, asuming she knew the rest. She did.

"Ah yes, head on up. Your number and then your hand needs to be scanned." She explained.
Ashley nodded and went up to the scanner. Pressing her numbers and then scanning her hand. Hearing a beep, she opened the door and headed up, making sure the door closed behind her.

No one seemed to be there yet, but Hank Voight was stood waiting.

"In here." He spoke about his office. She followed quickly as he closed the door behind her. He then handed her a badge, quite like the one she had before, but with her actual position of level 2 detective. He then handed her a gun, which she put in her jeans as well.

"Welcome to the team. Now wait in here while everyone arrives." He told her before leaving the office.

It was a while later till he began talking again.

"As you all know, we needed a new member now that Erin left." Hank spoke.

(This is the third season version. But of course, without Erin.)

"Therefore, I have taken a detective from another station, who gladly said yes to joining our team. Halstead, your needing a partner, so she will be with you. Got it?" Voight asked.
"Yes sir." Jay nodded.
"Well, this is Detective Ashley Rhodes." Voight spoke as she walked out.

He then left them to get situated as Ashley began putting her stuff on her desk. They mainly just spoke about her training.
However, it changed when someone came up to her.

"Hey I'm Jay Halstead, you're new partner." He smiled, putting his hand forwards to shake it.
"You guys do partners?" She asked, shaking his hand.
"Yeah, it's safer that way." Jay explained.
"Oh. My last job, we were alone most of the time." She shrugged.
"Must have had a lot of deaths there then." Kevin spoke up.
"Yeah. Usually 1 or 2 every month." She explained.

"Right. We've got a new case. A woman was found dead 10 minutes ago. Everyone has been sent the adress. Off you go to the place. Have a look at what you can see." Voight explained, leaving to drive there too.

"Your car or mine?" Jay asked instantly.
"Mine will work." She shrugged before leading him outside to her car.
"Jesus, this is your car?" He asked, looking at the quite expensive car, but getting in it anyways.
"Yeah, sorry. A bit old. I usually only use cars like this because of the job." She explained, starting the car driving to the destination.

They soon arrived to the destination and instantly headed over to the body. She observed the marks around the woman's neck and instantly began making notes.

"What're you writing?" jay asked.
"Just some notes." She explained.
