I rode up to the precinct on my sport bike. The only way my mom let me get it was if I wore elbow pads, knee pads, a protective vest, and a helmet. It was a bit much but worth it. I parked my bike in the parking lot beside the building. A few cops that were standing around eyed me but I ignored them. As I headed to the main entrance a group of detectives started filing out. One of them, my new boss. She was so much prettier in person to be honest. My heart started racing due to my nerves. This was a serious job and I wanted make a good first impression.
"Can I help you?," she asked me once she saw me standing there.
Then it dawned on me, I still had my fucking helmet on! I laughed at myself as I took it off. Nice job, Garcia, way to make a first impression.
"Maia Garcia, I'm the new detective you ordered."

"Sorry if I worried everyone, the helmets clear and comfortable so I forget I even have it on sometimes."
"It's ok," Lieutenant Benson sat at her desk while I closed the door behind myself. "Have a seat. So you are the sensitive detective I called for."
I sat down across from her, placing my helmet on the floor. People say I care too much. "Yes, I guess I am. My captain might have filled you in."
"He did," she made a face. No doubt he made some comments. "So you are the youngest graduate of your class?"
"That's correct."
"Your last boss says that you're a hard worker and a good cop."
I nodded. Did he now?
"I see nothing out of the ordinary and I believe that you will be a great addition to the team. Welcome to the SVU unit."
I smiled and stood to shake her hand. "Thank you."
"Ready to meet the squad?"
I grinned. "Yeah."

"Hey! Everyone quiet down, this is Detective Garcia. She's a new addition to the team, make her feel welcome."
Three detectives walked up to me after Liv's speech from their desks.
"Hey, names Detective Tututola. You can call me Fin."
I shook his hand. "Hi."
The other woman on the team came over to me. It was great to see more women in this department. I rarely saw any female cops where I used to work. "I'm Amanda Rollins."
"Hi," I shook her hand as well.
Then this tall good looking guy came forward, hair slicked back, nicely dressed. "I'm Detective Carisi, but you can call me Sonny."
In all honesty, I wanted to melt a little.
"Nice to meet you, call me Maia." More like call me flattered.
"Carisi, I want you and Garcia to work together once she starts work tomorrow," Olivia nodded to him.
He smiled at me. "Ok, sounds good."
I could feel my cheeks warm up.
"Want a tour of the place?," Olivia interrupted the thoughts rolling around my mind about my new partner.
I nodded. "Sure."
She led me away and showed me the mini cellblock they had in the office.
"Hey, you think you can take a picture of me in here, please? I wanna send it to my brother."
She smiled. "Sure."
I laughed and walked in closing the door behind me. I went against the cell and made an anguished facial expression.
"Alright."
I came out of the cell and got my phone back. "Thanks."
"You got a big family?"
"Big is an understatement," I laughed. "It's just me, my ma, step dad, and my brother. I have a bunch of cousins, aunts, and uncles though."
She nodded and led me to one of the interrogation rooms. "You and Carisi will get along just fine then, he has a big family too."
I smiled at that and looked around hoping to see him again.

"This is nice, this whole place looks great," I said in awe. My last job was always a mess and no one took their jobs seriously.

That's about all that she showed me other than my desk and stuff.
"Is there anything else you want to see?"
I shook my head. "I think you've showed me everything. Thank you for showing me around, this place is great."

I left the precinct still reeling from the meeting. Everyone was so nice to me and I had a feeling that I could trust them.

I got a text from my mom later at home.
Mom: how's everything amores? Your brother showed me that picture 😡
Me: come on ma it was funny
Mom: no it wasn't
Me: everything's good everyone was really nice to me
Mom: good I don't have to come up there 😉
Me: you might have to there's this really cute guy here 😍
Mom: Oh shit!
