Two sides of the same coin - Armando Aretas x OC

Tension simmering

A tense atmosphere lingered among the team, Inessa actions cast a shadow over their interactions, affecting everyone's focus. Rita and Inessa were sat in her office, going through protocol after the mission.

Armando watched from a distance, as he observed Rita's inquiries, Inessa's expressions were unreadable as she read through the report and paperwork.

In the training area, Inessa and Armando were sparring, their movements sharp and controlled but laced with an underlying tension. Each strike echoed their disagreement over Inessa's decision during the mission. The rest of the team were gathered around, watching silently as everyone worked.

Inessa's frustration and guilt fuelled her intensity, driving her to match Armando blow for blow. Her determination to prove her point mixed with a need to rid her own doubts about the choices she made.

Armando, for his part, moves were precise yet tinged with the feeling of betrayal by Inessa's unilateral decision. He sought to remind her of the consequences of acting independently in a team.

Just as the tension threatened to escalate further, Rita's phone chimed with a text message.

"Team" Rita called out, Inessa and Armando paused mid-strike, their attention now fully on Rita."The city is hosting a gala tonight to thank the Miami PD's hard work in the Mikhail Sila case."

"You're all dismissed early, give you time to get ready and presentable for tonight," she finished as the team dispersed.
