Yes, that was my concern as well. Being in inspector I've covered many different types, it's just..

I think what brings this up is a while ago someone approached me independently re: someone pushing suspicious drugs and etc. They decided not to pursue it, but I wonder if people may be more will to approach us if we're not proper 'law enforcement' so to speak.

Some people seem to have a 'thing' regarding that.

[couldkillthedevil]

A distrust of law enforcement was pretty common where I'm from too. Did they specify why going to the cops wasn't something they wanted? Most of the people here seem to be pretty responsive, as far as I can tell. Even PI work would involve working with the department to some extent, after all.

[She's certainly not against it, but she's not the type to leap before looking. She likes making sure she has all the information to make a smart decision.]

No, it wasn't him that really had a problem. He backed down when I asked if he would be willing to go along with it for a little while as a fact finding mission. I would have done it myself but, really, I don't think I'd stand a chance blending in with those types.

It just seems to be a more general trend. I think I noticed it here because it's not at all like that in my world. Or, wasn't, I should say.

True. I don't mind the department, so to speak, but having only done department work I'd also like to know what it's like to work on your own.

[ Plus that sounds right up her alley, really. ]

[She reads the text carefully, pausing as she considers a response before typing out a reply.]

And you want me. As some kind of partner?

[realimperfect]

If you'd be willing. No hard feelings if not, of course. There are risks involved in striking out on your own after all.

[couldkillthedevil]

Tell you what. I don't plan on leaving the department at this time, but how about I help you with it on a part-time basis for now? Sort of like a trial run. Is that doable?

[realimperfect]

I think that's fair.

If you want we can meet at my apartment for coffee to talk in person about it, sometime, away from the department?

[couldkillthedevil]

Sure, that'd be good. How does tomorrow sound?

[realimperfect]

Fine by me. I'll have coffee ready.

[couldkillthedevil]

Sounds good. I'll see you then.

[They'll certainly have much to talk about, between this PI business and, if pressed, her newfound abilities. Who knows -- may even be helpful for whatever they're doing.]
