"Hey, you're in on a weird shift!" Kyle's voice boomed out, happy and pleased.
"Well, you know I have to check in and such, I like to see how my friends are doing even when they're on the crazy hours and I'm sane."
"Well, the precinct doesn't fall apart on your off hours you know. Look around, no fires."
"Yeah, well, the night is young. And you're on lunch right? C'mon, I'm buying man."
"Hey, free food! I'm on my way."
*travel noises interspersed with light talk*
"Oh, this brings back memories. It's been what, years?"
"Well, the food's good and the atmosphere is better. I like being comfortable."
"Yeah, we've got all kinds of nice places near the precinct but the oldies are....hey, that's a new face."
"Yeah, you were looking at her face I'm sure. Hey, speaking of nice atmospheres how's that partner working out?"
"Darlene? She's nice."
"Nice? Man I know that face. I thought she was your type when her file came across. Here I was thinking to myself 'Gee, Kyle's been lonely and he gets edgy and stupid when he's lonely..."
"Hey! I slip up once, once, and no one ever lets me live it down!"
"Well, we had to clean that up and it wasn't easy you know. Messy. Just messy. That why we try to make sure Kyle-boy has someone to keep his attention hmmm?"
"You make me sound like a dog or something."
"Dogs get bones man! You get a hot little blonde number who hasn't filed a report against you yet. She didn't look to bright by her file, decent work but not inspired. That working out okay?"
"She's...God she's hot. You can't get that from a file no matter how good you are. There's a few hitches but..."
"Oh, so you haven't pinned her in the lockers yet? What, she religious or something?"
"No, not religious. She's solid, but she's got an ex who has hooks in her. Has a kid. Keeps getting confused."
"Oh, woman troubles indeed. But look at you, I haven't seen you smirk like that since what was her name? Ravenna? Yeah, that was it."
"Yeah, Ravenna was good but she fell just that far short didn't she?"
"Literally. Fucked up sense of humor you got."
"Yeah, well, you don't sleep around on me."
"And this Darlene isn't?"
"She isn't mine yet. I just have to take care of her ex."
"Oh, a man with a project. That's what we like to see. Who's this ex?"
"Dealer named Traver. Also runs a string. Nasty piece of work with a katzu bodyguard."
"Oh, the new guy yeah? Didn't know he had his hooks in a cop."
"Hooks in Darlene. He can't even get her to shift arrest records or anything, how idiotic is that?"
"Yeah, harmless, but still. He's kind of a big fish to go after."
"And?"
"And nothing. We like when you think outside the fuck you know?"
"Darlene."
"Right, Darlene. I think I just got points on my match making card. A few more happy guys like you and I may have to retire from cop work and set up a dating site or something."
"You? You'd be crazy in a week. You live on this shit."
"Yeah, you're probably right. Keeping you guys happy is my life's work. It's my calling."
"Go tell it on the mountain or something man, I've heard this line before remember?"
"Yeah, and you still haven't said thanks for me bumping you in the partner queue!"
"I haven't? Oh, well, thanks. I'd have had to strangle Rich if he got partnered with Darlene."
"And we like Rich, we try not to get him strangled."
"Only a little, until Darlene needed a new partner..."
"Yeah, you see why we bumped you up? Eat your hamburger man."
"Well, you know I have to check in and such, I like to see how my friends are doing even when they're on the crazy hours and I'm sane."
"Well, the precinct doesn't fall apart on your off hours you know. Look around, no fires."
