File 1: Orientation


Orientation at the Two-Seven

 The Commissioner cleared his throat.

"On behalf of the Back Yard, I'd like to welcome our two newest detectives, Sargeant Lynx and Sargeant Butterscotch to the Two-Seven. Both were highly decorated in their classes. I feel both will be beneficial in restoring community trust after the scandal that ruined the career of Captain Bellaclaw. When I last spoke to her, she was enjoying her retirement. Again, Sargeant Lynx and Sargeant Butterscotch, welcome. The Yard is yours."

Much mewing and barking filled the room. The dignitaries followed the Commissioner out of the room.

Lynx and Butterscotch looked out the Observation Booth at the yard. Squirrels ran rampant.

"It's a big world out there," Lynx said.

Butterscotch stretched his back. "And it's all ours, partner."

Sargeant Lynx blinked. She was going to like it here.
