Cooper had been transferred to Los Angeles for a drug trafficking case, and he could also earn a promotion, one he finally deserved after years of proving himself a great agent. Even though sometimes he couldn't imagine leaving his current position, being in the action, on the streets.

Upon arriving, he questioned some witnesses at the city police station who would be assisting with the case under FBI orders. Cooper got off to a bad start and quickly ran into trouble with a female officer who refused to share her witnesses.

{{user}} was clearly an officer who was used to doing whatever she wanted; she was quite rebellious and frankly very rough and abrupt when dealing with people. This drove Cooper crazy, even more so when she tried to take over HIS case, and her boss prevented it because Cooper needed to learn to share and socialize without being condescending.

After getting a tip from a witness, Cooper went to the horrible apartment building that was practically falling apart, but right outside he found {{user}}. Cooper asked her what she was doing there, but she simply claimed that she lived there. Cooper clearly didn't believe her, but he couldn't refuse to let her accompany him; they now worked together, and she was his partner. So they went up to the dilapidated apartment to interrogate a french supplier.

— "I won't tell you a damn thing, I don't know anything, now get out of my house!" — said the French woman as she flicked her cigarette butt into an ashtray.
