It's been a few months since my arrival in this mirrior-verse, in that time with help from Carmelita I've been able to adjust to this world and have been working with her to become an officer of Interpol with her training me on the job and in the off time she trains me every other day. Given the work Carmelita does, the department gives me ammunition to keep my sidearm going and since wearing the suit I came with day-to-day wouldn't work and needless to say wearing the same clothes isn't the most sanitary thing, so the department got me some sets of clothes to use and stuff I can wear uniform-wise.

I'm walking down the halls, I'm wearing a black jacket with a blue '13' on the back and another blue '13' on the right side, a blue short sleeved shirt underneath, black pants, black steel toed boots, my m1911 is holstered on my right hip with a few spare magazines and I'm wearing on my left wrist a silver watch with a blue dial.

I'm heading to the conference room, unsure why because I was told to report there at a certain time for an unknown reason, I see the door to the conference room, I open it to see it's dark, I look around, confused as I know I'm here on time, I shrug thinking the others are running late, I flip the switch to turn the lights on. I become stunned to see Carmelita and a decent amount of officers in the room.

I say "Adam, reporting?" with a curious look.

Carmelita puts on a smile as she says "Well Adam, today is the day.", she grabs a briefcase and a smaller flip box, with a flick of a finger the box opens, revealing a gold pin in the shape of Interpol's emblem and a an actual badge with it's own case and an Interpol i.d. is already in place and she says "Here are your badges." keeping her smile.

I nod with a smile, I take the pin badge first and I put it on the left side over my heart, I take the badge with the wallet and I put it in one of my coat pockets.

Carmelita puts the flip case down, she holds the briefcase in her hands and she says "And here's your main weapon, open the case." with a light smug.

I open the case, revealing a m3a1 grease gun on it's left side, it's stock in pushed in and the dust cover is closed and next to the weapon are five magazines worth of ammunition, I give off a smile as I take the gun and I begin to examine it.

Carmelita says "Based on what you said you were looking for in a weapon which was reliability, ease of maintenance and decent stopping power, a few weapons did come into mind, of course being law enforcement we had to restrict the list and this is what was decided." with a hint of a joking tone.

I open the dust cover as I hold the weapon on it's left side, I pull back the bolt as I look inside to see the condition of the system, I push the bolt back forward followed by putting the cover back into place, I work the stock and everything on it checks out, the weapon is all set to go as I smile, a quick glance and I can see some officers are surprised and some look curious at me as I hold the submachine gun properly with no ammunition loaded.

Carmelita says "You, already know how to use it?" with a curious look.

I nod and I say "Yeah, you see I'm a bit of a weapons nut, I use to study weapons in my spare time with weapons of the second world war being my fav to learn about and thanks to videos on the internet I've learned how work and maintain them, the thing I lack is actual experience using any of it." with a light smile.

Carmelita blinks a couple times and she says "I have to admit, we were actually kind of joking when we brought this out, but I think it's safe to say it'll work best for you, at least for now." with a light smile.

I say "Now all it needs is a strap and it'll be good to go." keeping my light smile.

Carmelita says "We'll get you one from our armory and then we'll head out on patrol."

With that we take a strap that would be used on an mp5 and put it on the m3a1, Before we head out I put four of the magazines in an internal pocket, I open the dust cover, pull the bolt back, I insert the remaining magazine into the weapon and I close the dust cover which doubles as the weapons safety followed by me securing my m1911. The both of us head out in Carmelita's car and we begin to patrol around, given the firefight incident a few months back, Interpol has been giving the more local departments a hand in keeping an eye on the city.

Carmelita says "Now in terms of that submachine gun, we've given you the paperwork to carry it openly, just don't go crazy."

I say "No worries, I'll be mindful." with a smile as I look around for any trouble.

Carmelita says "So Adam, now that you're an actual officer, how does it feel?"

I look to see her glancing to me with a light smile and I say "It feels great, I just can't wait to help you... offically that is." with a light smile.

Carmelita nods and she says "I'm sure you'll do fine." keeping her light smile.

The both of us patrol down different routes as I keep an eye out, but I can't but feel like I am being watched, I glance around and I don't see anyone eyeing me.

Carmelita says "Are you alright?"

I say "It feels like I'm being watched, but I don't see anyone."

Carmelita says "It's just paranoia, it'll wear off, don't forget it is your first official day so it could be nerves." with a slight smirk.

I say "Maybe your right."

Carmelita says "No worries, I remember my first day on duty, I was a bit of a wreck but it wasn't bad." keeping her smirk as she quickly glances at me.

I say "I got the same feeling that day when that shootout happened, I saw someone eyeing me from the rooftops while we were at the station."

Carmelita says "Did you get a good look at them?"

I say "No I didn't, I couldn't even make out a shape."

I feel my right hand get lightly touched, I look to see she's holding my hand and I look to see she's glancing at me with a light smile.

Carmelita says "Don't worry, we're partners which means I've got your back." keeping her smile.

I lightly tighten my grip on her hand and I say with a smile "And I've got yours."

Carmelita nods with a smile and her full attention goes back to the road.

A voice comes over the radio and it speaks french in different voices, it maybe a good idea for me to learn french, at least then I'd know what they are saying. I continue to glance around, I see movement up on one of the roofs, which gets my instant attention.

I say "We've got movement on the left rooftops."

Carmelita says "Alright, just keep an eye out. Don't do anything rash."

I go to answer but suddenly an armored car comes races out from the alley and nearly crashes into us as it gets on the road and speeds away. Carmelita turns on the lights and sirens and picks up speed as she radios hq and I undo my grease guns safety.

Carmelita gets off the radio and she says "Shoot out the tires!"

I nod as I quickly aim the m3a1 and open fire, some of the burp guns bullets hit the tires but nothing happens and I say "Tires are bullet resistant!"

The back doors open revealing what looks like a m1917 water cooled machine gun with a mounted shield.

I yell "MACHINE GUN!!!"

Carmelita swerves to the side as the machine gun fires, she grabs the radio and I begin to shoot across the vehicles chassis, hoping maybe I'll hit something, but the magazine depletes and nothing happens save for maybe a scratch or two.

I reload as I say "The thing is too armored to shoot through and the back is too deadly to even chance it!"

Carmelita says "We gotta bring em to a stop somehow!"

I think and I say "Can you get in front of them?!"

Carmelita nods and she says "Yeah, you got a plan?"

I say "Sort of."

Carmelita gets out in front of the armored vehicle, but I quickly see a gun barrel on the passenger side and I yell "MG! MG!"

Carmelita backs off just as it opens fire and I spray to try to suppress them.

I say "This isn't going well!" and I go back to shooting at the tires to see if I can get a hit in.

The armored vehicle comes and manages to hit us, I lose my grip on the m3a1 and it goes under and gets hit by one of the rear wheels which shatters the gun.

I sigh as I pull out my side arm and I say "Well, it was nice while it lasted."

The armored car suddenly comes at us as if something has hit it, it crashes into a building just behind us as this blue van comes alongside us with flames along it's side.

I say "What the?"

The sidedoor open revealing a turtle in a wheelchair and holding what looks like an m1a1 thompson that's holstered with some magazines, he tosses it at me to which I catch it, I look back as the side door closes and the van drives off.

I say "What was that about?" with a confused look.

Carmelita says "I don't know, but arm that gun, you're gonna need it!.

I say "One armed chicago typewriter coming right up!" as I quickly load a magazine into the tompson and throw the remaining grease gun magazines into the glove box.

Carmelita quickly turns the car around and we head over to the crashed armored vehicle, we get out as we train our weapons at the sight.

I say "Do you hear anything?"

Carmelita says "No, but they could just be keeping quiet."

I say "Let me take point, I can cover you."

Carmelita nods and I go quickly over to the armored car, I make it to the back doors, I snap around as I take aim to see no one there and the machine gun is gone, I wave the vixen over, she comes over to me, I quickly close the back door on the right as I keep my body in cover, I slowly turn the corner to see the machine gun there, I snap back into cover just as it opens fire, the bullets smashing into the armored cars plating.

Carmelita says "I don't know that many crooks that can supply a weapon like that."

I say "An m1917 water-cooled machine gun, it's designed for sustained fire, as long as they got bullets and water it's not stopping any time soon!"

Carmelita says "I'll go around, stay here and keep them occupied!"

I nod to her, she backtracks and heads down the alley way, the machine gun stops, I quickly get out of cover and open fire in as short bursts as I can... which is a lot harder compared to the grease gun. The shield protects the crew from the bullets but some of the .45 ammunution hits where the water is stored for the machine gun, ripping a few holes and causing water to spray out, my thompson clicks empty, I get back into cover, the machine gun begins to fire again and I reload the thompson.

I think 'Alright, they are losing water so hopefully they'll overheat or Carmelita will take them down, whichever comes first I welcome.', I hear weapons fire from a shock pistol, the machine gun falls silent, I look around the corner to see Carmelita waving me over, I nod and move over to her.

Carmelita says "The last few fled this way, be ready for a fight!"

Carmelita takes the lead, we head out the back down a small alley, we get outside to see a small car racing away, Carmelita fires her shock pistol and I quickly aim and fire in controlled bursts, trying to blow one of the tires, but my they quickly peel away as I fully empty the magazine.

I reload and I say "They got away." with a disappointed look.

Carmelita says "No worries, we still got four of them. Come on partner, let's go book em." with a slight smile.

Carmelita and I make our arrests as a police van arrives, we head back to the station where the tommy gun catches everyones eye.

I say "I'm all for world war 2 weapons, but given the magazines I think a more modern weapon would be better."

Carmelita says "I'll see you get a modern weapon, the last thing you want is a weapon you can't really use in a long firefight."

I nod in agreement, we soon find ourselves back at the station where they are booking the ratmen, which earns a slight smug from me because they kind of remind me of skaven, I notice something on one of them as a shine catches my attention and I say "Stop!"

The person stops, I take what's shining as I think it's a gun or a knife, but it's another one of those gas grenades, I hold it in front of him and I say "Where did you get this?"

The rat answers me in french which earns an irritated look from Carmelita.

I say "Speak english please!"

The rat puts on a smug and says something else in french as if he's teasing me.

Carmelita grabs him and she says something in french but she's saying her words in an angry tone and she says "Understood?!"

The rat nods in fear of her and he looks to me as Carmelita nods to me.

I say "Where did you get this?" as I lightly shake the grenade.

The rat says "From my boss." with a nervous look.

I think 'Wow, whatever Carmelita said to this guy has him very rattled.' and I say "Who's your boss?"

The rat says "Le Paradox."

Carmelita says "That's impossible, Le Paradox is incarcerated!"

I look closer at the grenade, it looks brand new, as in it just rolled off the assembly line and I say "Someone else could by supplying these. It looks fresh off the press."

The rat says "It's from a storage box that I just opened up, but human you should know one thing."

I say "And what is that?"

The rat says "There's a hit on you, your interference at that bank robbery got someone's attention." with a light smile.

I think of that vehicle and that machine gun and I think 'So, someone is after me?'

Carmelita says "Who put out the hit?" with her arms crossed.

The rat says "I'm not saying!" keeping his smile.

I say "Let me put something in perspective for you, if your caught then that person will likely assume that you talked and could come after you." earning his full attention, I say "Is that a risk you wish to take?", I start to lightly toss up and catch the grenade like a baseball and I say "The choice is yours."

The rat looks down, earning a sneer from Carmelita.

Before she does anything I stop tossing the grenade, I say "So be it.", I look to the officer and I say "Please get this rat out of here!"

The officer nods and takes him away as I hand the grenade over to another officer along with thompson.

Carmelita takes a breather and she says "I think you handled that well." with a light and proud smile.

I nod to her as I smile but I feel uneasy at the news and without a doubt I know she can sense my fear. Soon we're in her office, my mind going wild on the fact a hit is out on me.

Carmelita says "Your being very quiet Adam." with a concerned look as she crosses her arms.

I sigh and I say "It's this whole hit thing, it has my nerves on edge."

Carmelita says "It'll be okay, glass is reinforced and the whole department is going to be keeping an eye out.", she comes over to me, she puts her hand on my shoulder and she says "Don't worry partner, we're with you." with a light smile.

I nod and I say "Well, I'm not staying in here, you need me out there as well."

A knock comes to the door, Carmelita answers it, she brings over a somewhat huge weapons case and she hands it to me.

Carmelita says "Your new weapon is here." with a light smile.

I open the case to see quite a sight, it's an m16a4 with a grenade launcher and with some ammunition, I take it out and I say "I guess we aren't fooling around any more." as I check the firing mechanisim.

Carmelita says "You're going to be fielded in your full suit from here on out, so you're going to need a weapon that'll match it's performance."

I say "Me personally, I would rather have an ak, but I can easily work with this." with a light smile.

Carmelita says "Hopefully this'll blow over, it was more or less just a robbery." but she looks like she's holding something back.

i say "Carmelita, is there something I should know?" as I raise an eyebrow.

Carmelita sighs as she looks to me and she says "It's best if you know some details. You see, just before you arrived we had to deal with Le Paradox and he and his associates were hard to bring down. He tried to reshape history itself to suite his needs as he wanted to steal the world itself with time traveling technology."

I become stunned and intriged by the news and I say "That's amazing, but I can't help but notice you said 'we'. Who helped you?"

Carmelita says "Actually it was me helping them, as you know from reading Cooper's Interpol files he has a team, I helped them as they were looking reverse the damage Paradox had done, I just so happen to have gotten caught in the crossfire."

I say "So this Paradox was the biggest threat you ever encountered?"

Carmelita says "Yes, without a doubt. And it won't surprise me if he put out the hit, but there is no evidence on that nor any news he's escaped.", she readies her shock pistol and she says "We're heading down to that bank and see if we missed anything."

I say "But I thought everything was combed over and all of the money was accounted for."

Carmelita says "It was, but there was no money in the vehicle and it looked like they were tearing the place apart, so we interupted something else."

I say "Any idea what they were after? Because the only thing in a bank is money"

Carmelita says "That's why we're going down there. To comb over it again and see if you and I can find anything." with a light smile.
