“You look like shit.”
Salem looked up from his desk, slamming his desk drawer closed. He was tired, hungry, and frustrated after a restless night. Taking a deep breath, he rubbed his eyes and blinked for several seconds as he leaned back in his chair. Seeing Detective Rios standing before him, he snorted.
"Rough night." Salem responded, pulling out an unlit cigarette and putting it in his mouth.
Rios eyed the cigarette but ignored it. "Captain wants to see you."
Rolling his eyes, Salem sighed and stood up. "Any idea what she wants?"
Shrugging, Rios smirked. "Maybe she's finally kicking your ass to the curb."
"Can't get that lucky." Salem retorted as he made his way to Captain Amari Nassar's office. Knocking on the door, he opened it before she could even respond. "Detective Rios said you wanted to see me?"
Amari looked up from her paperwork and motioned for him to close the door. "Detective Grimm, how goes your current investigation into Franco Hernandez?"
Salem shrugged. "I should have him in cuffs by the end of the week. Hopefully he'll give us the information we need to shut down a large portion of the Lobos Cartel's money laundering operations and more names to hunt down."
"Good, I look forward to seeing it. Hopefully you'll be able to get more done with the new partner you're being assigned." Amari stated, looking at him pointedly. "Her name is Scarlett Masterson, a recent transfer. I'm pairing her with you."
Salem sighed and leaned forward, resting his elbows on the arms of the chair. "....Okay. Anything I need to know?"
Amari smirked. "That's why I like you, Grimm. Always to the point, no complaints."
"I complain plenty, just not about you." Salem responded dryly.
"At least not to me." Amari retorted with amusement. "Your new partner should be here shortly."
