Excerpt
“Detective Kane,” I heard someone shout from behind me. I turned around and saw Ekoroi Begoon, my newest partner. The boy was fresh meat and very “by-the-book”. Those two aspects have always aggravated me, but with this one it seemed like he almost did it on purpose. It always seemed the force wanted to pair me with the youngest recruit they could find. “Detective Kane, you should be wearing your gloves,” he said as he walked up to me. This was going to be a long day.

“Do I look like a rookie, boy,” I said, furious with this little punk. “I’ve been doing this job since before you were born, and I’ve learned more from those years than you have from your stupid books.” The crowd of rubberneckers looked at me and my partner as I continued barraging him with insults about his inexperience, “I’ve had half a dozen partners like you, and guess what, they always leave the force. Do you know why? Because it was too ‘stressful’ on them.” My face was now red and I could tell I pushed too hard when the rookie stormed off. I didn’t feel too bad, though; things like this make a man stronger.

Comments
I will try to address the objections in a timely manner, though I am most active on weekends. I thank everyone in advance for helping make this story better. I just hope it's worthy enough to be a Feature Work. Also, if you feel that the excerpt isn't good enough to be on the main page, I'll look for another, unless someone else knows of a better one.-Bluethunder Contact 00:55, February 12, 2012 (UTC)
