CRUCIBLE OF REJECTION

Chapter 43

Trekker have you noticed Cap has been behaving weird these past few days Serena asked.

Weird how... Trekker asked.

You haven't noticed yet. He's been smiling more... Being nice to us ..he even called me Serena instead of Tennis Serana said.

I thought I was the only one who noticed...he even reduced the amount of paperwork he used to give us.. now I'm not complaining but something is up with him Lily said.

I know he's your partner and all but does he have to call you to the office all the time...we barely see you anymore...Is he still bullying you Trevor asked.

Yeah blink twice if you need help Noah said.

You guys are just overthinking things... He's nicer nowadays Trekker said.

I wonder why Alpha said smirking.Trekker looked at him.

Alpha knows something... wait is Cap dying... maybe he's trying to be nice so we can cry at his funeral Lyles said.

Lyles the hell...bro that's dark Trent said.

Oh maybe Cap is being nice because he finally has someone he likes Serena said and Trekker sighed ..of course Serena knew...he knew Trey or Alpha told her.

Wait Cap has a girlfriend..Who can handle him  Patience said.

Now why would you assume it's a girl.. Cap's temper is made for a guy....No girl can handle him April said.

That's true... maybe he does both...Trek you are the one who is always with him...who is he seeing Lyles asked.

Why don't you all mind your own business and let Captain be.... Also why are you all here..I came into this room to sleep.. leave Trekker said.

Urghh rude .... C'mon tell us ... Lily said.

After I sleep Trekker said.

C'mon please... I'll buy lunch for you for a week Trent said .

Y'all are a bunch of nosy assholes...as much as I would like to pretend to enjoy talking to you guys I really need to sleep Trekker said.

Fuck you they all said.Trekker smiled.

There you guys are..we have a big case .. join us in the meeting room Detective Pikachu said and left.

There goes my chance at having a peaceful sleep..I hate you guys Trekker said standing up.

This conversation isn't over.. c'mon let's go Bella said.

Bella you too..damn.. y'all are really nosy Trekker said as they all made their way to the meeting room.

They found other officers inside and sat down.Alpha and Trekker made their way to the back.They waited until the Captain,Chief Gregory and Deputy Chief Connor arrived.

Connor looked around the room and his eyes landed on Alpha and Trekker who were at the back.

Officer Gyles and Officer Kennedy how many times do I have to tell you I need you two were I can see you Connor said.

I swear he hates us Alpha mumbled under his breath.

He thinks he's our dad or something Trekker mumbled too.

I know you two are not talking about me over there... come sit in the front Connor said.

Trekker and Alpha stood up slowly and made their way to the front.They sat down and looked at Connor who smiled at them.

The DA's office and our department are under pressure from the media and the Deputy Commissioner. Ee have two weeks to take care of this case or else the FBI takes over Chief Gregory said.

Trekker raised his hands.

Yes officer Chief Gregory said.

Professor I think I speak for everyone when I say we don't have a big case right now what you talking about Trekker asked.

Right...the case came from another precinct and we have been given it ...Now I know we don't have a lot of time considering we only just got the case today but I spoke to your Captain and we agreed he'll create a team that would be assisting with the case Chief Gregory said.

Trekker nodded and put his head on Alpha's shoulder he could feel Christopher's eyes on him but he really needed to sleep.He closed his eyes and let sleep take over.

He was awakened by a loud banging on his table.He was startled and looked at Deputy Chief Connor.

Officer... now is not the time for sleeping.Can you tell me what has been said Connor asked.

Sir... don't you think it's rude to wake someone like that..I could have had a heart attack Trekker said.

Don't you think it's rude to sleep during a meeting Connor asked.

You just said that our department is faced with an exceptionally challenging case involving an intricate and highly organized drug trafficking network operating in our city. Dubbed "Operation Spiderweb," this network is notorious for its ability to evade law enforcement and maintain a steady supply of narcotics across the city. The network operates with a level of sophistication that has stymied previous investigations, and it’s rumored to have connections reaching far beyond the city—possibly even internationally.Can I continue Trekker asked.

No... but don't sleep... For the rest of the case your Captain will choose a team he would like to work with him and he will include two rookies so they can learn Connor said smiling at Trekker.

Okay... good luck Trekker said closing his eyes.

Deputy Chief Connor recommended you Trek and Officer Kennedy Chief Gregory said.

I'm sorry.. what.... Don't I get a say in this Trekker said.

No you don't...This case will be good for you and your Captain and I agreed with him.Its not everyday Connor takes an interest in officers Chief Gregory said.

I swear he hates us Trekker said.

Maybe it will make you less lazy... Now The Captain will give out the names of the remaining teammates... After that..a room has been fixed for the case at room 21... that's where you are to go Chief Gregory said.

Officer Gyles and Officer Kennedy... follow me Connor said leaving.

Trekker sighed and they went after their Deputy Chief.

I see potential in you two.. You even make great partners and I need you on this case...I know you two think I'm always after your asses but it's because I see potential detectives in the future.These filthy creatures are dirtying my city and streets with drugs...drugs that have taken lives and I need them dealt with..I need them behind bars do we understand Connor said.

Yessir Trekker and Alpha both said.
