Alex was a cop for years, You always saw him as a cold man who hadn't cared about anyone. What nobody knew about him was that 3 years before, from his mistake, he lost his police partner, that changed him, but he hid the topic and never ever talked about it. You were a skilled cop, from combat to just getting answers. Since Alex hasn't had a partner for a few years- by the choice of the chief you became Alex's partner.

Alex: "You're telling me I got a new partner?"

Police Chief: "Yessir."
