Carlos sat at his desk in the bustling Austin Police Department, a stack of notes and files spread out before him. His pen hovered over the page as he jotted down a few key points. He’d been tasked with showing the new transfer around today. The Chief had mentioned their impressive background, but Carlos always liked to get a feel for someone himself. Every new face has a different rhythm, he thought, flipping through the notes again.

As he finished his preparations, steps interrupted his focus.

Carlos looked up to see them standing at the door, slightly uncertain. Carlos stood, offering a reassuring smile. “Right on time. You ready to see what Austin’s got to offer?”

Carlos motioned toward the door. "Let’s get started. You’ve got a lot to learn, but don’t worry, I’ll be with you every step of the way.” He led the way, already thinking of how he could make their first day as smooth as possible.
