Trooper Station; Monday [ 09/21 ].

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

It was definitely a computer day at the station for Daisy, which meant a lot of coffee, and it might have meant no time to hide the donuts again, replacing them with fruits and veggies, but, well, some things were just very important, including the health of her coworkers. If anything, she could always claim she was just keeping their astute detective skills honed by making them have to seek them out.

She had radio transcripts to type up, and she also wanted to compile a report on the little blue men of last week, which caused her to at least pause once or twice with a frown, realizing that she was writing reports about investigating little blue men, and she'd been doing things ridiculously similar for practically a year now.

She wasn't exactly sure this is what she'd wanted out of her career.

But, then again, she was thinking basically the same thing back in London without the little blue men, too.

Dinah had the good coffee with her for Daisy, black, no extras, and smiled when she saw Daisy. "Hey, Detective Constable. Happy Monday."

At least Daisy had gotten to a point where she realized that Dinah bouncing into the station wasn't likely to be an emergency one, although that would always be slightly disappointing on a certain level. She'd much rather do stuff than paperwork.

"Happy Monday, Dinah," she said, smiling back at the girl. "I trust everything's all right?"

"Yup! Just wanted to check in, bring you some of the right coffee," Dinah smiled, and offered it up. Working with Liir the day before had reminded her of their chat and she added, "And tell you I'm signing up to take the SAT after all, so, yay college recruiter you."

[awesome timing is awesome, of course it is. Yay SP have fun at work!]

Daisy laughed a little. "Good on you," she said, "and good luck. Although, Dinah, you know the whole point of station coffee is that it's just what you drink in the station, right? Perhaps I should have been clearer."

"Ohhhh. Do you want me to drink it?" Dinah offered hopefully, because yes, she would be happy to suck down more caffiene.

Daisy eyed the cup in Dinah's hand for a moment, before her attention shifted to her own mud-in-a-mug, and then back to the cup. She drew in a reluctant breath.

"Maybe," she suggested, "you should take it on into the Sheriff. He might appreciate it."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Ooo." Dinah blinked, then gamely said, "Sure. I don't think I've met him. I can do that." Because hey, Uncle Jim was a commissioner, so... A Sheriff couldn't be scarier, right?

Daisy nodded. "But it can wait a moment or two. Any other reason you've swung by, Dinah, or was it just to bring me coffee and deliver the SAT news?"

Dinah fiddled with the lid to the coffee, then blurted, "Maybe I wanted to check on Hector Ramirez, but I know you would've called me if you found him." She just had to keep wondering, was all.

"Oh, Dinah." Daisy's shoulders instantly fell and the look she gave the girl was one of utter sympathy and understanding. "You'd be one of the first people I'd let know if I did. I'm sorry. There haven't been very many leads, and I had more pressing matters, I'm afraid, last week, with the little blue men. I won't deny that it can be a problem in the policing system, that too much gets shoved aside, but once some of that settles down, I can try to get back on it as much as I can."

"No, no," Dinah protested, feeling embarrassed. "I know you've got stuff that has to come first, and that's an old case. I just wonder, is all. I trust you, I do. And I'm glad you had time to take it on at all."

"There's...actually a surprising amount of time to be had working this beat, really," Daisy found herself having to admit.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"That's why you're at the other place too, you said. Right?" Dinah was now wanting coffee for herself. Hmmm. Maybe she'd got back to J,GoB and get some.

Daisy nodded. "Freelance Police, right. Not that they get much more in the business of crimefighting, either, but when they do, it's nice to know I can help."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Sure. Anyway, I just wanted to check in, say thanks and all." Dinah smiled. "And keep you posted, kinda."

Look, Fangirls for Justice had to keep in touch!

"I appreciate it, Dinah," said Daisy with a smile. "And I'll let you know soon as I find something out."
