Case #48: Video

[It's formal announcement time! George stands in his cabin with his helmet tucked under one arm. The brass buttons on his uniform are particularly shiny.]

It's my duty to inform you all that Detective Hoffman is no longer my inmate.

[George lets that hang vaguely in the air for a moment, before continuing:]

Because Detective Hoffman has graduated! Please do heartily congratulate him. He has earned it.

Everyone eventually does, Georgie.

Well. Yes. But I would try to give much more warning, I'd think.

I thought this might be the first warning.

Are you planning to leave us, Miss Parker?

Nope. Still got an inmate to graduate.

I'm very pleased to hear that.

...Not that they haven't graduated, but.

...

...

...I do greatly enjoy your company.

I enjoy your company too, Georgie. Don't worry, I'll give you plenty of warning.

How is your latest charge, by the way? I suppose I'll have to prepare myself for one.

He's a fucking pain in the ass, actually. Like I was.

Is that...good then?

Nope. It means I'm going to be here for another fucking three years.

I can't say that's terrible news...

~~Maybe for you.~~

What do you say to a drink?

I say I'd be quite happy to join you.

Rooms or the pub?

Whichever you'd prefer.

My room, I don't want to deal with the general fucking public.
