Fandom Town Police Station

[katielockley.livejournal.com]

Time sits behind the front desk, tapping his fingers nervously on the old wood. He's done everything he has to twice over, so all he can do is wait. For questions, reports, any need for assistance, and by God he hopes they come soon.

The arrangement of the station has shifted. Certain officers had decided to be at the forefront of the station, for God knows what reason. It doesn't matter, there were empty desks, but it sure as hell doesn't help Tim's anxiety. Especially the blond detective with a grip on her pen that was going to snap it in half. What the hell is up with her?

Same thing that's up with me, I guess, he thinks grimly, then goes back to staring at the door.

Snap.

"Dammit, I need another pen."

Chloe comes into the station, putting on her best sweet and innocent persona. "Is there someone here who can help me?" she asks.

A look of stark relief passes over Tim's face, but it fades when Kate stands from her desk.

"What do you need?"

Oh, yeah, steal my welcome distraction, why don't you.

[mycanonhatesme]

Score! Chloe thinks, heading over to the blonde officer. "I'd like to report a theft."

"Hey, you know, you could always come to--" Kate's glare cuts him off, and he sits back down and sulked busies himself in whatever way possible.

Kate nods at Chloe, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"I'll need the details," she says, reaching for her new pen and a pad of fresh paper. She can enter the information officially later.

Chloe takes a deep breath, trying to remember everything she came up with on her way over to the station. "I had money stolen out of my purse while I was at work - $500 of birthday money."

Kate gives Chloe a sympathetic look as she scribbles down the information, but her voice is utterly proffesional.

"Where do you work? Do you know when it could have happened?"

[mycanonhatesme]

"I work at the Perkolator on the weekends," Chloe says, her voice breaking a little. "I got the money on Saturday, and I had it in my purse Sunday morning, but when I left work, it wasn't there. I turned my whole purse inside out," she says, taking her bag and dumping the contents onto the counter as a visual aid, "and the money's just gone."

Kate's eyes never leave Chloe's face as she writes down the date, timeframe, and location.

"We'll do our best to apprehend the thiefe and retrieve your money, miss..." This may be a seque into more vital information.

[mycanonhatesme]

"Miss...Lane," she says, spreading her stuff out a little more on the counter. "Lois Lane."

As she's moving everything, her phone vibrates. The caller ID pops up with Veronica's number, and then vibrating stops. Time to end the show. She reaches into her bag and unzips the pocket at the back, pulling out a small wad of money. "Oh my gosh," she says. "I'm such an idiot. It was here in my purse the whole time!"

Kate raises an eyebrow, her hand pausing in the middle of writing the name.

"That happens a lot," she says flatly.

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe quickly gathers all of her belongings off of the counter, stuffing them back into her bag. "I'm really sorry for taking up your time," she says, embarrassed. "But thank you for being so nice about wanting to help me. I really appreciate it." She gives the officer a warm smile and hightails it out of the station, going to meet up with Veronica.

Kate stares after for a moment, then shakes her head and sits back down.

"You believe her?" Tim asks. Not that he was eavesdropping, or anything.

"No," Kate says lightly.

"But we don't have time to deal with it."

There's a pause as she slips the note into a small drawer.

"Right now, anyway."

Tim nods, knowing that she can't see him, and goes back to staring at the door.

(ooc but ic: Wah! I was totally convincing! ;) *is so glad she gave a fake name*)

[katielockley.livejournal.com]

((Oh, yes, very much. "Wow, it's actually there!" works every time. ;p *is still giggling over that name*))

[mycanonhatesme]

((It works in the movies! *g* And yeah, Chloe always uses that name when she needs a sekrit identity.))

As soon as Chloe as engaged the officers working in the station, Veronica sneaks in. She slips through the waiting room and is thankful that the police station has a similiar layout to the one in Neptune. She finds the evidence room easily and eases her lock picks out of her bag.

Glancing to make sure Chloe still has the officers occupied, she picks the lock as quickly as possible and eases the door open slowly.

Once inside the evidence room, Veronica quickly locates the box marked "Pryde" and finds the CD that she and Marshall gave to the Dean.

She pulls out her portable CD burner and sets about burning herself a copy.

A few minutes later, she stuffs the CD burner and the copy she made into her bag and peeks out to see if anyone is looking in her direction.

Satisfied that Chloe still has the officers attention, Veronica slips out of the station, undetected.

She pulls out her phone and dials Chloe's number so she'll know the job is done.
