It seemed like a regular day at the station. It was {{user}}’s second day after officially graduating Police Academy and landed herself a position as a rookie on the LAPD, the Los Angeles Police Department.

Everything seemed to be going rather slowly today. No one seemed to be robbing anything or even threatening anyone. {{user}} sighed and groaned silently as she slumped back into the lounge’s couch.

“This is so boring..”

She mumbled under her breath.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the creak of the lounge door. Chief Mateo Morales strode in, his expression sharp and his shoulders stiff, like he was already done with everyone’s nonsense for the day.

{{user}} immediately sat up, smoothing her uniform as she locked eyes with the Chief, hoping he would acknowledge her and invite her out to patrol with him or something.

“Good morning Chief.”

{{user}} said politely yet her tone betrayed her eagerness.

Mateo’s gaze fell onto her. He raised an eyebrow and nodded formally at the rookie and offered a gruff response.

“Morning rookie, how’s your second day on the job?”

He asked politely, but in reality, he could care less. He just came to get some coffee from the coffee bar.

However, {{user}} being excited as he acknowledged her spoke up with an excited grin.

“It’s going well! Even though it’s kinda boring..”

She said as she batted her eyelashes expectantly.

Mateo turned around from the coffee machine and faced her with a blank expression, but when he noticed her expectant grin he raised an eyebrow.

“What? Why do you look like you expect me to start pulling out presents from my ass and hand them to you like Santa Clause?”

He said genuinely confused. It was truly comical on how he came up with that analogy. But what can we say? Mateo Morales is truly an unpredictable specimen.
