007. Kate!

Lisa can't control herself anymore and gives in to his charm, falling right into his flirtatious trap and changes his attendance, from absent to present immediately.

Then the phone on the desk starts ringing.

"Ma'am?" Lisa answers it.

"Send Sergeant Thomas to my cabin at once." The new captain on the call orders Lisa.

"Yes, ma'am! He's here, ma'am! In fact he came here way before the roll call time, maam! His punctuality is flawless, ma'am!" Lisa starts blabbering in excitement.

"Cut it out, you idiot!" Tom mouths Lisa tensely.

"Who asked you all that? Now send him in." The new captain on the call scolds Lisa and hangs up.

Eating a chocolate, Tom folds it's rapper into a doll and presents it to Lisa, saying, "a rapper doll for a real barbie doll." and makes his way to the captain's office while Lisa happily accepts it and gently puts it at her nameplate.

On the other hand, after giving her attendance way before Tom, she takes the lieutenant's permission and leaves to Piper and Baker.

Piper and Baker is a big law firm owned by Shannon G. Rhodes, one of the famous lawyers in the city. Apparently, Messy passed the bar and is practicing law as a member of Piper and Baker law firm. She became a police officer to fulfill her dad's wish when to become a lawyer was her wish all along and so, her dad, the chief of police now sees to it that she fulfills her wish by using his influence and power.

Back at the precinct, Tom rushes to the captain's office to see the new captain instead he finds the woman he messed with at the parking lot sitting in the captain's chair.

"What the hell! You are Sergeant Thomas!?" she gets shocked seeing him.

"That's my line, you strong willed woman! What the fuck are you doing here? And why the fuck are you sitting in the captain's chair!?" Tom shouts at her.

"Because I am the new captain, you knucklehead!" she shouts back.

"What!?" Tom gets a sharp blow with the revelation.

"Damn universe sure loves playing sick games with me!" Tom laughs in despair taking a seat.

"I didn't tell you to sit!" she says angrily.

"You were about to tell me to sit anyway." Tom says to her.

"Why, you!?" she gets furious.

"Well… Sorry for earlier at the parking lot. Haha. I had no idea." Thomas humbly apologizes to her.

"I was told that the kidnappers showed a video evidence of my capture to you. Didn't you see my face in that?" she asks, surprised.

"Now that I think about it, that was your natural face without makeup, wasn't it!? No wonder I didn't recognize you with all your makeup this morning at the parking lot. Haha." Tom says, scratching his head.

"Why you!?" She controls her anger to maintain dignity.

"I heard you played a big role in rescuing me from those kidnappers yesterday. I thought I would thank you in person but not anymore. You can go now." she says to Tom.

"Can't we both just forget what happened and make up and start a new friendship?" Tom appeals to her.

"You flirted with me, for Christ's sake!" she yells at him.

"That was my nature getting the best of me. I can't help it. Neither before nor ever." Tom says to her.

"I hate hyperactive flirts. That is my nature. And I can't help it either." she gets back at him.

"Flirting isn't my only talent. Please say yes. You won't regret being friends with me." Tom says, taking his mobile out and showing her the photos he captured with his mobile.

"See! See! I am a talented photographer too! What do you think? They are good, aren't they?" Tom scrolls the photos on his mobile.

While he's scrolling through the pictures, she sees the photo he took the other night and snatches his mobile.

"What are you doing? Don't tell me I got you with that one out of all the photos I took! You really are weird!" Tom gets startled by her sudden action.

"You like it? I took it the other night. You know? Every photograph tells us a story. That story cannot be viewed through good clothes or makeup. It is viewed through that photographer's view. And in my view that woman is kinda sad." Tom explains to her.

"Sad! Why?" she asks Tom.

"You See now, she's standing all alone in that rich apartment's balcony. Her dreams must be really scaring her by devouring her sleep." Tom says to her.

Hearing his words, she gets up from her chair and leaves the room without saying anything and leaving his mobile behind on her table.

"Hey! Miss…! What's her name!" Tom tries to stop her but she doesn't listen to him and leaves.

"There goes my friendship tactic down the drain! What a pain in the ass! Fuck! I don't even know that woman's name yet!" Tom says to himself before he turns back and takes her nameplate to know her name.

"Ms. Kate Fox." he reads it out loud.

"Kate, eh? Her name is as sexy as her. Haha." Tom laughs, talking to himself.

Kate rushes to her attendant and says, "Lisa, you are fired! Get out of the precinct!"

"Ma'am!? Why? What did I do wrong, ma'am?" Lisa asks Kate in a shock.

"Officer Thomas's punctuality is flawless, you said when in fact he arrived after me." Kate explains Lisa and walks back to her office.

Kate comes back and sits in her chair.

"Fine! I'll consider being friends with you! But only when you pass my tests first!" Kate says to Tom.

"What tests!?" Tom asks Kate.

"Your first test starts now! I relocated your desk along with the desks of all the other sergeants to the cabin in front of mine. From here, I can watch you 24/7. To pass the first test, you must not leave your desk even for a second until evening, starting right now. And one more thing, leave your mobile with me." Kate says to Tom.
