The Cop Station

Rocco sat in the station reading a book, waiting for something to happen.

Marley walked in, aggrivated as usual. She had just lost track of a suspect in a huge murder case. "Anything new?" She asked Rocco, not looking up from checking herself into the station.

Rocco shook his head. "Nope, not yet."

Marley rolled her eyes, "That's what I thought." She muttered

Rocco shrugged and sighed.

Kida had walked into the police station, carrying a backpack and a box filled with files. She happened to pass Rocco and Marley, and stopped. "Where do I go to sign in around here?" she asked, knowing almost every station was different. She had just been transferred once again.

Rocco pointed to Marley. "Ask her."

"It was a general question," Kida stated, shrugging. She adjusted the box of files she held and turned to Marley.

Marley took some of the files and stared at them, "What are these?"

"Records of all the cases I finished before coming here," Kida replied with a shrug. "Where would I go to talk to the commanding officer here?" she asked again.

"Nice job." Marley muttered, not looking up from the files, "And you're lookin' at her."

Rocco smiled lightly and continued reading.

Alexander stepped into the room carrying his submachine gun and draped in rounds of bullets, looking eagerly about at everyone present.

Kida, smiled for the first time since walking in. "Kidara Kashi, at your service," she said. "I just transferred in from the LAPD." She paused, setting the box on the ground in front of her and holding her hand to Marley. "You must be Marley Rogers."

Alexander shifted his weight still hoping for a reaction to his battle-ready state. He then strolled over to Kida and Marley.

Kida glanced towards Alexander, then back to Marley. She turned back to Alexander and said, "You must be, ah..." She hesitated, her eyes glancing at the ceiling before they brightened and looked back to Alex. "Alexander Manstien!" she added, smiling. "I've read your file. Honorable Discharge after reaching Divisional Commander." She smiled. "We have something in common: I was in the army five years ago."

"I see someone has been doing her homework." Marley muttered, still skimming through the files.

"Just a little bit." Rocco said cheerfully.

"Any information on that robbery downtown?" Marley asked

Michelle Cortez sauntered into the station in her civilian clothes. Dark eyes took in everything, not missing anything. "Hey guys, what's up?" She looked Kida up and down very quickly, nodding at her before turning to Marley. "Who's the new kid?"

"Indeed, it makes me happy to see real combat training in the police force" Alexander explained offering Kida his hand. "I do believe you will enjoy serving in our sector."

Kida smiled. "The file's here," she said, picking through the folders and pulling out one. "You can talk right to me, I'm pretty good at answering back." She took Alexander's hand and added, "That it is."

Alexander laughed and gave Kida a polite nod. "Glad to have you among us" he said before turning to Marley: "Ma'am, I feel like we should be trying to root out the perpetrators of the downtown, shall we say 'incident'" as he made sarcastic quotation marks in the air, "instead of sitting around here. We're losing time and there are reports of criminal activity near the main business district" Alexander reported curtly.

Kida took this time to look around the room and noticed a computer. "May I use that?" she asked, moving towards it, completely forgetting her backpack that was still strapped to her back.

Alexander glanced towards Kida with a smile and replied "Yes, you most certaintly can. It's available for all of us to use". He then turned back to Marley and resumed his displeased look.

Almost without waiting for an answer, Kida knelt on the floor in front of the computer; the chair being under Rocco who was still reading at the moment. She typed furiously, clicking away at the mouse, and typed almost as fast as before. Her face showed her results as she smiled ever so slowly. She clicked the history, deleted her progress, and closed out the window, standing up. "I just figured out about the criminal activity...I think. I'll need to check my sources," she said, moving with speed to her box of files, gathering up the ones taken out, refiling them, and walking to the door. She stopped and turned back towards the others in the room. "I'll just use that empty desk I saw earlier, okay?" and with that, she went to work organizing, sitting in the swivel chair, her backpack off and her box of files sitting on her desk.

Alexander's mouth hung open in surprise and amazement. Looking back at Marley he jabbed "That woman has my style of thinking, she gets things done. You would do well to take on some of that."

Rocco put his book away and listened carefully.

"Hm. Actually someone who works on this force?" Marley said, smirking, "I like the idea. Kida, see if you can dig anything up on that robbery."

Kida looked up long enough to smile. "That's what I just did," she said before taking the last of her files, putting them in a drawer, and closing it. She opened her backpack and pulled out a laptop case and set it in front of the drawer. She zipped up the bag and draped it on the back of her chair. She paused to look around. "Is anyone else working on that case?" she asked.

Michelle raised an eyebrow at Kida. "Yes, pretty much everyone in this room right now." Her voice was gruff and she planted her hands on her hips firmly.

Alexander spoke up: "I think all that can wait, another robbery is in the planning stage and we should be working to prevent it, not solve old cases that have already taken place!"

Marley raised an eyebrow, "What new robbery?!"

Rocco sighed and stood up.

Alexander yelled "Gaaaaaaaaa!" and buried his head in his hands in frustration.

Michelle shook her head. "Calm yourself down, Alex." She patted his back awkwardly before dropping her hand and shaking her own head. "I think we all know how hopeless this case will be if we keep going about it the way we have been."

Kida had stood up, her laptop still in its case on the desk. "I was asking about that case," she said after a moment. "I believe I have a lead, but unless I can get a partner, I wont be able to do much." She was now standing within five feet of Alex and Michelle.

"I'll do it." Marley muttered, "Figure I should be involved in this case somehow. What'dya got for a lead?"

Alexander recovered his composure and suggested "Why don't we all go? Surely whatever you're planning could use as many of us as possible..."

Marley cleared her throat. "That's all well and good, but we don't have a plan until we find out that lead." She said, staring at Kida.

"Perhaps Kida is refering to reported meetings of local criminals and suspected Chameleons?" Alexander suggested as he looked quizically at Kida.

Marley turned towards Alexander, "You don't think the chameleons would have anything to do with this, do you? Come on, we don't even know who they are! We don't even know if they exist!"

Frowning, Alexander faced Marley and angrily said "Then why would random people quit their jobs immediatly after the business they worked in gets robbed? If you had listened to me and kept tabs on all those former employees we could have all the chameleons in custody by now!"

"Yes, because we can get warrants to search random people's homes for any sign of theft. Of course they'd believe us if we told them that some innocent person who just suffered the crisis of being robbed is actually some secret, undercover spy." Marley snapped back

"Who cares what the public thinks as long as we solve crimes!" Alexander retorted.

"If we're gonna find the chameleons, we're gonna need more than guessing." Marley said through gritted teeth. She sighed, "If we're going to find anyone, we'll have to sit and wait for the next robbery. As much as I hate sitting around and letting it happen, we'll watch and see if anyone leaves after the robbery." She turned to Kida, "And I want background checks on anyone that leaves."

Kida, watching the volley back and forth, attempting to say something before each person finally got a word in. "I haven't contacted my source, and I'm pretty sure that they won't like a second person around, so I'd have to see them in person," she said, trying to sound nice and as gentle about it as possible. She smiled with both eyebrows raised, a sort of 'I don't want to move into the line of fire' kind of look.

"We'll do what we have to. See anything suspicious and we move." Marley said blankly

Alexander was about to start arguing with Marley again when he whipped back to Kida and raised an eyebrow. "Who are these sources you speak of?"

Michelle, leaning against the wall with arms and legged crossed, had watched the whole exchanged with amusement. "Why don't we go undercover?"

Marley turned to Michelle, "The only problem with that is we don't know who we're spying on."

"The source is a friend of mine," Kida answered, turning back to her desk. She moved towards there, crouching down and opening her bag. She pulled out something and shoved it in her jacket pocket, closing her bag quickly. She stood and pushed her chair in, standing there.

Rocco stood up and sighed. "Well, once we know what we're doing, let me know." he said, walking out the front door.

"I wanna talk to this friend," Marley said, scanning over a few files.

"For that, I'd have to ask," Kida stated simply, placing her right hand in the pocket with the item.

"I don't think speaking to "the friend" is neccesary..." Alexander mused. "All that we need is for Kida to tell us a little more about him or her." he said thoughtfully watching Kida.

Kida sighed and walked towards the door. Pulling out the item she had in her pocket, she opened it. she dialed a number into the cell phone and puts the reciever to her ear. It rings twice and was about to ring a third when it picked up. "...Hi, it's Kida...I know, not since we were kids...Yeah, it's good to hear from you...Can we meet somewhere?...Sure, that's fine with me. When do you wanna meet?...Okay...Sure, no problem...I won't be...Talk to you then...Bye." She brings the phone to her other hand and closes it between her palms. "I'm leaving for a while. I'll talk to you when I come back, okay?" she said, exiting the station.

With only Marley and Michelle still in the room with Alexander, he motioned them both over to his side. "I don't like Kida's secrecy about this or Rocco's indifference. It's time we did something on our own. We all know that a robbery in some form or another is in the planning stages and we should be working to stop it. Who's with me?!"

"And what exactly do you intend to do?!" Marley replied, frustrated at their slow progress

Michelle narrowed her eyes. She didn't answer, deciding to wait for Alex's response to Marley.

Alexander answered Marley and explained... "We're going to go undercover and get jobs at local businesses that may be targeted. We can then zero in on the chameleons and extract information from them as to when and where the next robbery is going to take place. We will be in a perfect position because the criminals' chameleon allies will be under arrest and we will already be at the targeted business when they come to pull of their hiest."

Michelle nodded. "It sounds good to me..." With a shrug of the shoulders she turned to Marley. "What do you think?"

J.D. walked out of the target room with his ear protectors still on. "HI GUYS!" He belted in a way to loud voice not knowing it.

Rocco yelped and fell out of his seat from being startled.

"Ooops sorry man." J.D. takes off his protecters. He lends Rocco his hand to help him up.

Rocco took his hand and stood up, standing like a tower because of his height. "Its alright." he said in a deep booming voice, that sounded like thunder rolling.

"Eesh..never relized how tall you actually were. I always saw you sitting down." J.D. was 5'10" and still felt short.

Rocco smirked, his emerald green eyes sparkling. "Don't worry about it. Everyone is intimidated by my height..."

"So... What case are you working on?" J.d> inquired. He always wanted to know the goings on around him just incase there was a chance of a gunfight..his favorite.

Rocco shrugged. "I have no clue right now..."
