It was midnight in a rundown neighborhood in the city. In one large house, there seemed to be a party going on as loud music blared loudly from the inside. Inside the house, that's exactly what was going on. The house was filled with people; doing illegal drugs, drinking alcohol, there were even people making out with others. Not one thing could be heard due to the loud music, but everything could be seen.

Watching the party from a stool in the kitchen was the man who arranged the party. All he was currently doing was sitting there, smoking some weed. He wore tore up blue jeans, a dirty gray tank top and messy blonde hair down to his shoulders.

"I sure got lucky with all these drugs I stole... surprised the cops aren't looking for me right now." The man chuckled. Just then, the man saw a woman walking towards him.

This woman had long brown hair that was let down with dark brown eyes. She was wearing a black strapless dress that hugs her body and showed off her slender legs.

"Is this seat taken?" The woman asked in a breathy voice. "Well, hey there, baby..." The man greeted in a flirty tone. "You look fine tonight... I've never seen you around here." "Oh, I'm new in the neighborhood and I thought I'd stop by." The woman said, "What's your name, handsome?" "Kenneth Peters." The man introduced himself. "What's your name, beautiful?" He took her hand and kissed it. "Christa, and that's all you'll know." She chuckled as she crossed her legs slowly.

"Oh... I like you already." Kenneth smirked. "You know, why don't we take this talk somewhere... private?" "I like that idea..." Christa giggled. "I just need to use the bathroom first, be right back." "Take your time, sexy." Kenneth chuckled as Christa grabbed her purse and went into the bathroom, swinging her hips.

A minute later, Christa came out of the bathroom and stood in front of Kenneth. "I'm good." Kenneth looked at Christa and wrapped his arms around her, "Are you ready to get that bed moving?" "Oh yeah..." Christa chuckled, "Although I have just one thing, I need to tell you..." "And what is that?" Kenneth asked.

Right when Kenneth asked that, the door to the house suddenly broke open and about a dozen police officers and detectives ran in with guns. The people in the house screamed and Kenneth turned from Christa to look at them. At the same time, he turned however, Christa reached into her purse and took out a gun as well!

"Freeze! Hands up! Nobody move!" One of the cops shouted out. Kenneth turned around and saw Christa with a gun. "Let me guess, you're an undercover cop are you?" He sighed. "That I am. And you, Kenneth Peters, are under arrest for the crime of stolen drugs." Christa declared.

"Wait, you stole these drugs?!" One of the men in the house asked. "I thought you said someone sold them to you!" A woman said. "Cuff him, Johnson." The police captain in front told Christa.

She got a pair of handcuffs from her purse and cuffed Kenneth. "Come on!" Christa led Kenneth outside and into the back of a police car.

As she got him put into the car, the captain went up to her. "First case as a detective and you succeeded. Good job, Christa." She smiled. "Only been with us since you got transferred here last month and already, you're one of our best." Christa chuckled and shrugged, "It was nothing, Captain Matthews. I'm just doing my job." "A good one at that." Matthews said.

"What about the other people in there?" Christa asked. "We're taking all of them downtown for questioning, just to be safe." She answered. "You go ahead and head back down to the station, we'll meet you there." Christa nodded, "Gotcha.... and the sooner I can get out of this skanky dress, the better." She muttered.

She walked to her car and before she could start up her car, she was stopped by Matthews, "And by the way Christa, you're going to be assigned to a new partner." "A new partner?" Christa asked, "With who?" "You'll find out soon enough." Christa was surprised, she was used to work by herself, but she can't argue with Captain Matthews, so she started up her car and then drove off, leaving Matthews watching as she drove off.

The next morning:

"In more local news, recently promoted Detective Christina Johnson arrested citywide drug smuggler Kenneth Peters last night. She went undercover in a drug party held by Peters and was able to catch him and take him in. Police Captain Matthews states, "Detective Johnson is probably one of the best people we have on this force right now. She learned fast and she's taken more cases and succeeded in more cases in the past month than any of our other officers." Detective Johnson really does seem like a valuable cop for our police force."

Christa smirked and chuckled to herself as she heard she was being talked about on the radio. "Like I said, I'm just doing my job." She said to herself.

Christa may have not looked like the type to work as a cop; her looks and tattoos. For some reason though it was something she wanted to do. She did like the adrenaline rush and catching bad guys in the streets, she felt like she was doing something right in her life and kept the people of the city safe.

Christa at this point has only been in this city's police department for a month. She was however in another city's department for over two years. Christa was transferred and being in there for just this long and already getting promoted to Detective, Christa was shocked. She didn't think she was doing that good of a job, but according to Matthews she was. She drove her black Lamborghini into the parking area of the police building.

Walking out of the car in a black shirt and jacket, blue ripped jeans, and black boots with her hair braided. She made her way into the building as she carries her bag. After scanning her card at the door to enter, Christa noticed everyone she passed smiling at her.

She made her way up the stairs to the second floor where her workspace was. "Detective Johnson!" Someone called out as she entered in the room and every cop in the room began clapping.

Christa smiled and held up her hands, "No need to clap for me, everyone." "You deserve it! You did great on your first detective case!" One officer said. "It's my duty to help keep the city safe." Christa said, causing everyone to clap again. She walked over to her cubicle and was about to sit down.

"Hey Detective!" A female voice was heard behind Christa. She turned around and saw her friend, Officer Josiah Neidhart. "You can still call me Christa you know, Josiah." Christa chuckled. "I know, but just like everyone here I'm proud of you, buddy." Josiah smiled and hugged her.

She then handed her an envelope. "Got this from Matthews for you. She wants you to write a report on the Kenneth Peters case." "No problem, I'll get right to it." Christa took the envelope and pushed the button on her computer to turn it on.

She sat down and waited for the computer to boot up. Josiah stayed next to her friend's cubicle, "So... you've been here for a month. Have you caught any cute guy's eye?" "No Josiah." Christa answered sternly. "I told you I am not interested in looking for a relationship right now."

"Is this because of what happened to your brother? Come on Christa! You need to get out there!" Josiah encouraged. "You say you're not attractive, but I know you are! I know there are guys out there who would love to be with you."

"Josiah, I'm not interested in relationships!" Christa raised her voice. "I'm more focused on keeping this city safe then finding a guy. Please, shut up about it!" "Okay okay, I'll shut up." Josiah sighed. "Good. Now you better go, I got a report to write."

Christa turned in her chair, opened up a Word document, and began writing the report. A few hours went by and Christa got the report finished. She went up to the third floor and gave it to Captain Matthews in her office.

After grabbing some coffee, she headed back to the second floor and back to her computer. She opened up her email and saw Matthews sent everyone in the building an email. The email read:

Department Staff,

Detective John Shaw is returning to active duty from his break tomorrow. Last time he was here, he was shot in the knee as his partner died by a shot in the head. For the new people here, please on your best behavior with Shaw's return. Hope you all make him feel good coming back to work. I know I will.

Captain Matthews

Christa heard of Shaw when she got transferred, and honestly, she was actually kind of excited to see him return to work. She was going to see him for the first time tomorrow.

Two hours later, and with one of those hours spend down in the shooting range, Christa was given permission by Captain Matthews to go off-duty for the night. She sighed a bit, bummed that she didn't get a case to work on today.

"Guess she didn't have a case for me to work on." Christa said as she shut down her computer. She snuck over to Joslia's cubicle to say goodbye before trying to quietly make her way out. "I wonder if Captain Matthews is putting me and Detective Shaw as partners. I felt bad that his old partner died." Christa said to herself as she was heading out of the second floor and down into the parking area. She started up her car and headed home.
