Chapter 3: Chapter 2: Meeting of Minds
Levi sat at his desk in the small, cluttered office that served as the command center for the town's law enforcement. He had just begrudgingly finished going over the latest reports on the wave of burglaries that had hit the town over the past few weeks. He rubbed his eyes wearily and leaned back in his chair.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "Come in," Levi called out.
The door opened and a young woman walked in. She was dressed in a pressed, white uniform and carried herself with a confident air. Levi recognized her immediately as Lieutenant Lily, his new second-in-command.
"Lieutenant, what can I do for you?" Levi asked, standing up and straightening his own uniform.
"Captain, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know that I'm ready to get to work," Lily replied, her voice firm and steady.
Levi nodded. "Of course. Please, have a seat."
Lily sat down in the chair in front of Levi's desk. Levi couldn't help but notice for the first time as he had overlooked it previously that she had white snow-like hair which was odd for a person of her age.
"So, Lieutenant, tell me about yourself," Levi said, leaning forward slightly.
Lily took a deep breath. "Well, Captain, Im from the west region and I've been in law enforcement at the capitol for a few years now. I worked my way up through the ranks and was recently promoted to Lieutenant. I've worked on a variety of cases, from burglaries to murder investigations."
Levi nodded. "Impressive. And what made you want to join the force in the first place?"
Lily paused for a moment as if considering her answer. "I suppose I wanted to make a difference. To help people and keep them safe. And I couldn't think of a better way to do that than by becoming a law enforcement officer."
"And what does keeping people safe mean to you?"
"It means putting yourself in front of the lives of the innocent."
"you talk as if you know what means, Dying for someone is easy it's living for them that's the hard part you carry the weight of their hopes, their dreams, their families if you're gone who will protect them, you must take all of this into account went you step into the face of danger is that understood?"
"Yes sir."
Levi smiled. "Don't go dying on me, I need my right hand."
Lily shook Levi's hand determined to serve him to the best of her ability.
" I'll be counting on you from now on you go everywhere I go in and out of the field."
Levi leaned back in his chair, feeling a sense of relief. It was good to know that he had someone like Lily on his team. He had a feeling that they would work well together.
"Alright, Lieutenant, let's get to work. We'll start with a patrol around town. We need to check on the townsfolk and make sure everything is okay."
Lily nodded and they both walked out of the office and into the bustling main street of the town. They walked past the various shops and houses, greeting the townsfolk and making small talk. As they were walking they happened to come across a shopkeeper who looked nervous and twitchy.
"Is everything okay?" Levi asked.
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment before telling them about the recent burglaries. Lily took the lead, asking him for more details and coming to the conclusion that these were coordinated well-thought-out strikes.
"Someone is giving the bandits information."
As they were about to leave, Lily noticed something odd about the shopkeeper's assistant. He seemed nervous and was constantly fidgeting.
"I have a feeling that the assistant might know something about these burglaries," Lily whispered to Levi.
Levi nodded, "Let's follow him and see where he goes."
They tailed the assistant for a while, keeping a safe distance. Eventually, the assistant noticed that he was being followed and started to run.
Lily and Levi chased after him, and they cornered him in a back alley.
"Alright, spill it. What do you know about the burglaries?" Levi demanded.
The assistant hesitated but eventually confessed that he had been helping the bandits. He revealed that they were planning a big heist soon, but he didn't know what the target was.
Levi was impressed by Lily's deduction skills. "Looks like we'll have to keep a close eye on this assistant and anyone else who might be helping the bandits. Thanks for the intel."
The assistant was taken into custody, and Levi and Lily headed back to the command center to brief their squad on their findings. It was clear that they had a lot of work to do to catch these burglars and prevent their next heist.
