So I'm back from DC. Finally. Apparently some computer smuggling operation was actually being operated by terrorist cells. Usually we immediately loose jurisdiction on a case like that (ah my initial naive hopes), but instead the Feds turned around and enlisted us. I guess the chain of evidence was back too far into the NYPD to be completely absorbed by the Feds (I'm really surprised the Patriot Act didn't cover that one... :rolls eyes:). So come trial time the DA volunteers me to go down to work with the US Attorney General's office. I still haven't decided whether it's a compliment or an insult, frankly I haven't had time. I don't know why I couldn't have worked in conjunction with the US Attorney General based in the City like I have in past federal cases, but I have a feeling it had to do with military intelligence.
Hadn't been down to that area since well, I was born, and it always amazes me how different it is than New York. Everyone you meet how some government tie... and it's a lot cleaner.
But no longer am I the Fed's toy (they really look down on the NYPD and NY DA's office like we're amateurs as I'm sure everyone who has any experience with them meddling in their cases knows). It's nice to be home and it was even nicer to be back at Cole's.
Back to the daily grind... hopefully MCS hasn't burnt anything down yet (and I mean in the DA department, not even at 1PP, that'd be too hopeful).
