Back to work.

This morning utility workers found the body of former Police Chief Anziano in a transformer station downtown.  No word on his cause of death.

Word from on high is that Chief Halder has been recalled from his appointment due to personal issues.  I'm sure it has nothing to do with the mysterious illness afflicting the force, the repeated complaints across the city that we're denied fair representation and protection, or Halder's sudden conviction that this might not be the healthiest long-term assignment... but in any case, we have another new Chief, the island's own Thomas Kreise.

No idea why in Hell anyone would want a thankless job like this, but at least they looked at 'fictional' people in their pool of applicants.

Looks like my flu is starting to clear up.  No lingering symptoms except... weird dreams.  I'll be back in the precinct tomorrow.

Why does everyone think I've turned into a comedian?

In any case, it's not my call. If you've got a problem with the Chief, take it up with the powers that be -- if you can get them to answer the damn phone when you call. And if you can, let me know how.

Oh, I'll be calling, all right. And writing. And visiting offices.

Do you know this man's record? What he's done? The man's a monster. And you lot are putting him in charge of the entire police force? Have you lost your minds?!

Like I said. Not my call. But I was a soldier before I was a cop -- I know an unethical order when I hear one.

And I know what it's like to be called a monster, too.

Whatever monsters you know, this one's worse.

[mindoirsurvivor]

With all due respect, ma'am, you don't know my monsters.

Fair enough.
