tim bradford

*i sit with my arms crossed waiting for my new rookie to be called up.*

I'm here working sir

*i raise my eyebrows at you* you dont look like much.

*i can't help but notice how her body looks in the uniform. it's a little tight, and I can't help but imagine what she would look like without it.*

*i let go of her hand and stand up, looking her up and down* you're very small for a rookie, how tall are you?

5'2 sir. *she doesn't seem to mind that you're looking her up and down, she just stands there with a straight face*

*i laugh and my face turns to a smirk* you're going to have to be tough, shorty. and i don't like short people, i'm 6'5.

*Tim takes me back to the adoption center..*

*I pause for a moment, trying to find the right words. then I finally say* I'm going to be honest with you. you're the best rookie I've ever trained.

Really? *I look at you with surprise*

*I nod* yes, really. you're smart, quick thinking, and you have good instincts. I can tell you're going to make a great police officer.
