"Johnathan, meet your partner, Wilma Smith." Said the chief, indicating the officer sitting across from their desk with a look of disdain on their face. Officer Smith was a woman with light brown skin and dark hair, with a slender, athletic build.
"Pleased to meet you." Said Jonathan in a friendly tone, extending his hand, but Officer Smith didn't budge. "With all due respect, I don't see why I have to be the one to get saddled with the newbie on the team, chief. Especially when you know how I feel about anidroids." Smith said.
