 I tug on the sleeves of my long sleeved shirt down uncomfortably as I walk in to Brooklyn's 99th precinct, trailing behind my older friend from the Police Academy. He had promised to introduce me to my new supervisor, Captain Holt. 

  "Lee, I don't wanna go! I changed my mind! Take me home!" I whine, wrapping my arms around his waist from behind and attempting to slow his brisk pace. He had already pried my arms off before I could make progress in slowing him down. He turns to face me and pulls me to his chest in a tight, warm hug that I needed. 

  "Calm down Jess, you're going to be fine. Breathe with me, alright?" He starts taking deep, controlled breaths and I copy him. He helps me like this whenever I get really worked up and start to have breathing issues due to my anxiety. He's the best...

  "Good, great, on we go!" I say when my breathing is back to normal. I honestly hadn't even realized that it had become more labored until Lee said something about it. He gave me an adorable lopsided smile before continuing. 

  When we walk in, I almost have a mental breakdown because of all the people looking up at the sudden disruption. Lee continues over to what I assume is Captain Holt's office, so I follow him to the door. He knocks and waits for the deep, monotonous "You may enter." before walking in, me close behind him.

  "Captain Holt, this is your new detective. Her name is Jessica Kyler. I have been asked by Headmaster Duncan to introduce her to you." He says gesturing to me after stepping tongue side so I would be visible to the Captain. He stood up and held out a hand for me to shake, which I do firmly.

  "Pleasure to meet you sir. It is my hope that we end up working well together and you help me become a better detective." I say. Ugh, that sounds rehearsed! Why do I have to be such a dork? Ughhhhh... I shoot a pleading look to Lee after I let go of Captain Holt's hand. He just smiles and nods encouragingly. I must be doing something correctly then, right?

  "Yes, a pleasure indeed. It is my hope that you become a better detective as well. And what was your name again, detective?" He asks Lee after admitting that we have similar interests in mind. This excited me. I may have a chance to get on the captain's good side!

  "My name is detective Liam Reynolds, sir. Pleasure to meet you." He responds, shaking the captain's hand as well. When he pulls away and turns back to me, Lee gives me a hilarious fanboy look over Captain Holt's shoulder. What have I gotten myself into?
