[ police filter ]Both Chris Skelton and Sam Tyler have left the City and the police force even more short-handed than before, and it's been brought to my attention that while we have a number of consultants on call, that kind of position is not really publicly advertised

You know I'm good for helping out when you need it. I've been on call for awhile.

Also, Truth.

Yeah, I know, and thank you. Right now I'm pretty much just trying to figure out how it could work, or whether it'd be best just to leave things as they are, maybe advertise the consultant position a bit more... What's your take?

What's the longest relationship you've ever had? Romantic relationship, that is.

Well with the crime rate here fluctuating as much as it does, it'd be nice for people like me who specialize in a certain area. Allows people time to commit themselves to other things too, like youth centers and self defense courses.

Hmm... I was with a girl for almost three years. Thought I'd be with her for life but she wasn't so into me once I got injured and couldn't play football professionally anymore.

[heelsandlaw]

Yeah, that's kind of the idea behind it, I suppose. That people who have knowledge or skills useful to the police force but who don't want to make it a full-time job can still be helpful.

I'm sorry. That's a shitty thing to do.

Yeah, there are lots of times when Reid is helpful. He didn't wanna ask Beckett about part time though so he's got his head buried in books and school. Knowing it's an actual option other than a verbal agreement might be good for both the force and him.

Mm... she thought I was gonna be a star with lots of coin. Life didn't work out that way. Truth or dare, pretty girl?

I could at the very least draw up some kind of contracts for the consultants.

She shouldn't have been with you in the first place if those were her main reasons for it. Truth, for now.

[ Voice - Locked from anyone]

[bloodcakedarmor]

It might be helpful. If you need any help with that, let me know.

If you could be here right now, would you?

[ Voice - Locked from anyone]

[heelsandlaw]

I'll probably ask you to look it over once it's done. See if it's acceptable and makes sense to a non-lawyer. I get carried away sometimes.

Here, as in the City, or here, as in where you are right now?

[ Voice - Locked from anyone ]

[bloodcakedarmor]

Sounds good.

And I mean here with me. I dare you to come here with me. [Yes, he knows that's not how the game is played, and yet...]

[ Voice - Locked from anyone ]

[heelsandlaw]

The answer's yes, and you really should just wait until I pick dare. Knowing the City, I'll probably be compelled to do it, which is as good an excuse to miss a day at work as any.

... Are you at the youth centre?

[ Voice - Locked from anyone ]

[bloodcakedarmor]

I'm at the youth center. Are you at home? Can you tell I wanna see you?

[ Voice - Locked from anyone ]

[heelsandlaw]

No, and yes, and I'll be there in ten, fifteen minutes.

[ Voice - Locked from anyone ]

[bloodcakedarmor]

You're on the clock. I'm timing you, pretty girl.

[ Voice - Locked from anyone ]

[heelsandlaw]

Guess I'd better hurry then.

[ Voice - Locked from anyone ]

[bloodcakedarmor]

Quick as you can in those pretty heels of yours.

[ Voice - Locked from anyone ]

[heelsandlaw]

I'll have you know that they hardly slow me down.
