    You moved to New York just a few days ago after getting a job in the 17th precinct. You and your wife Anna found a small but cozy apartment in Harlem, it wasn’t good but it wasn’t too bad, just enough for a newlywed couple that are expecting a babygirl, Anna is on the 5th month of pregnancy!

    Tonight is your fourth day at the job. You’re in your uniform sitting in your patrol car, looking out the window, the rain is heavy tapping the roof of your car. The night is dark, but the neon lights of the city is showcasing everything you’re looking at, what you’re looking at is your partner, Ben Pritchett, he’s next to a hot dog booth couches over the owner while beating him. What you noticed immediately was how tainted this city is, nearly everyone is corrupt, someone is always on someone else’s payroll. It’s rare to find someone who isn’t on payroll, Ben wasn’t on the payroll, he just took few bribes here and there, due to life hitting hard sometimes, tonight was one of those occasions. He was supposed to send a message, you have no idea if it was about dealing on this streets, with drugs or hot dogs.

    After Ben left a hard bruise on the hot dog owner, he stole one for himself and walked through the rain into the patrol car, he started eating the hot dog with a little pissed off face, that face is naturally on, it’s not always you see him smile or laugh, but not impossible.

    Ben: What? Don’t worry, that guy already had two felonies, if he wants to sell drugs a small percentage has to go towards-.

    Ben got cut off by the dispatch radio, it was some lady talking in a tired and monotone voice.

    Dispatch: All units we have a report of uh… suspected violence, possible fight at the motel of the 64th street in Harlem. Noise complaint.
