after a mishap of the magnitude of that of the spring festival happens, the police station became high demand. cassandra feels frustrated by it, truly. frustrated and angry that so many people helped in drugging people – drugging kids, even. since then she decides to put extra hours and help on it. she isn’t the greatest with the people coming in to testify as victims, but she is better when it comes to suspects. 

“ nicholas, ”   she says once the suspect of the day comes on it. well, he’s not exactly a suspect – there aren’t proofs for that. however, nick is known to have been in the drug scene and cassandra and many others wonder if he has any helpful information.   “ glad you could make it. follow me, please. ”   she adds before walking down the hallway leading to the interrogation room.

it’s not unusual for cassandra to be hanging around the detectives. many would point out how she’s just trying to go up ranks – which isn’t a complete lie – however, she really enjoys helping in any way she can as a street cop. since the disaster that broke havoc during the spring festival, cassandra is on high alert. it reminds her of the jenny case on halloween, how it seems like an invisible force pulled strings and left no traces of their actions. she knows it’s sykes and yet again, they’re not able to prove it. 

and speaking of the havoc – from the text messages cassandra received on the day of, she guesses bianca didn’t go unscathed. the police officer didn’t want to disclose much right then, knowing bianca couldn’t be of much help. right now though, she’s curious to see where bianca stands on all this. 

“ hey, ”   she greets once she’s close enough to bianca’s table. cassandra leans onto her hip and looks down at the detective curiously.   “ how you been doing? ”

cassandra inhales sharply as elsa grabs her, not due to the woman’s strength, rather due to the weight of her words and the panic on her voice. she’s all unsure and nervous and there’s a bit of hesitance in her before cassandra realizes that’s quite the opposite elsa needs right now. another inhale and cassandra pushes back her own swirl of emotions.

“ elsa, hey, look at me, ”  she says in a soft but commanding tone. what she doesn’t need is elsa spiraling into whatever’s plaguing her mind, so she tries to sound both reassuring and confident. cassandra reaches for the blonde’s hands, squeezing them as to give her some sort of grounding.  “ there’s just me here, nobody else. focus on me, yeah? on me and on my face and on my voice. also, my hands. can you squeeze my hands? ”

such sort of events never go completely smoothly in cassandra’s experience. yet again, they don’t usually go so unexpectedly wrong. more and more people seem to be requiring assistance and cassandra stands in high alert, her fight and fight instinct soaring high. a voice cuts through the crowd, quite close to where she stands – and surprisingly, cassandra recognizes it. she has barely any time to come closer so she can try and calm elsa down when the woman is falling to the ground.

well, fuck. 

“ elsa! ”  she calls for her, quickly crouching towards her.  “ give her some space, please, ”  she tells to the curious bystanders before reaching for the woman again. thankfully, she’s wearing a dress and a loose necklace instead of tight clothes so cassandra doesn’t have to reach to anything. she does, however, places her fingers under elsa’s nose to make sure she is breathing. the brunette sighs relieved when she realizes that yes, she is.  “ elsa, can you hear me? are you hurt anywhere else? ”

there are many things cassandra expect to go wrong during the spring festival, but this one was never on her list. she’s on her cop motorcycle, sirens turned on and she makes a sign for the woman in front of her to stop and park her motorcycle. she knows it’s sharna, of course, and though cassandra has her on friendly terms, it doesn’t mean she’s putting her duty aside. so when sharna finally stops, cassandra is pulling up as well, taking note of where she keeps her fine notifications. in one sweeping move, cassandra takes off her helmet before walking towards the woman. 

“ really, sharna? today? ” she asks, annoyance undisguised on her voice.

Starter for @cassandrivm​

Rachel knew Cass was on duty today, and that her work was extremely important to her. So important, in fact, that Rachel had sworn to pretend that On-Duty-Cass was not Hey-That’s-My-Best-Friend-Cass! Throughout the day, Rachel had spent most of her time with Flynn, occasionally skipping off with other friends. Everyone once in a while she would spot Cass, and it was really, terribly hard not to wave at her and invite her over to play some of the games.

At some point, Rachel eventually gave up. She had to see Cass at least once, even if it was just to say hi! And she couldn’t very well go empty handed, because Cass had been standing around all day and must need something to drink or something by now. So with that, Rachel snuck over to where her friend was currently stood, a soda in one hand and a big stick of cotton candy in the other.

“Psst, Cass, hey! I know you’re on duty right now, and I promised I wasn’t going to bother you, but I brought you a snack just in case you needed one!”

[cassandrivm]

cassandra absolutely loves her job. it’s what she chose for her life and she learned from her father just what an important role she can play. that being said, sometimes her job isn’t quite so nice. it’s especially annoying when holidays need to be spent on duty or when you have such an event as the festival to attend to. there’s a twinge of disappointment in her as she looks as everyone else enjoys the beautiful spring day and more than a twinge of jealousy when she spots rachel hanging out with flynn in several occasions. she tries to not let it get under her skin and averts her gaze somewhere else. 

thankfully, there are enough in the festival to keep her busy – especially as people seem to act even weirder than your typical andromeda resident. she has her eyebrows knitted together, staring at man being particularly obnoxious, when rachel voices brings her back. 

“ raps! ” cassandra says, unable to hide the surprise and glee on her voice. “ thanks, ” she smiles. “ um, i didn’t get my break yet so– do you want to join me? ”

Maybe it was the alcoholic haze that Minnie was currently in but as she felt the other’s hands grab at her she couldn’t help but feel like this was something more then just someone wanting them to get frisky. Standing up she complied with the other pressing her lips together as she allowed the other to take her to her car, because she knew she wasn’t gonna get far if she started running, not with these Louboutins.

“Arrest me? For what? I was just being a good citizen if you ask me-.. I mean the only thing I can think of for you arresting me is that you were jealous that you weren’t getting any” the officer was definitely attractive and she was still hoping her dress wouldn’t fall to her ankles considering it was half zipped up at this point but either way if it did it wasn’t like she did have a killer body ready to display.

“You know I will say that I am disappointed that you didn’t give me your whole spiel, I would have very much liked for you to be held against me for all intents of purposes” it was at this point they reached the cop car and she didn’t really care about the other dude, she only met him an hour ago but she was worried about what was gonna happen from hear on out as the brunette guided her into the back seat; “Not gonna keep me company?”

ah yes, new year’s eve perps. these usually are more talkative but cassandra seems to have hit the jackpot tonight. she is glad none of the two made a run for it, at least. the girl doesn’t try to run away however she does run her mouth. cassandra wants to talk back so bad. she knows she shouldn’t, not while she is still wearing her uniform, however the petite girl under her clutch is trying really hard to get under her skin. cassandra tries really hard to focus solely into pushing her towards the car. 

“ miss, ” cassandra starts, trying to keep her voice as neutral as possible. she nearly laughs at the girl’s implication that she might be jealous. it occurs to her to tell the other that she is very satisfied where her love life lies so far and there’s not a reason for her to get jealous over a sloppy public hookup. yet again, she decides to bite her tongue. “ you’re being arrested for public indecency, ” cassandra stresses the last two words before looking her from head to toe. “ and at the precinct i’ll need your id to confirm if you’re twenty-one yet. ”

cassandra takes a second to look over her partner, communicating they would separate the two love birds for a ride to the station. the girl on her custody speaks again and now the police officer can’t help but chuckle. “ forgotten about your romeo already, have you? ” she asks instead, choosing to ignore the taunt. “ i’m afraid you’re not as lucky tonight, miss. i’m driving you. ” she says before taking the front seat. “ but on the bright side, it seems you’re ringing the new year with me. ”

Bianca couldn’t help but let out an amused laughter and Cassandra’s suggestion. That definitely wasn’t what she was saying, but even if it wasn’t a legitimate suggestion, it still wasn’t the worst idea that she had ever heard. She had certainly heard far more implausible ideas delivered in a far more serious tone from some of their esteemed coworkers. Truth be told, it wasn’t the first time that the detective had noticed that Cass could outthink any number of people on the force who outranked her, and it probably wouldn’t be the last.

“Through a local business, perhaps,” Bianca pondered, thinking that Sykes might not be able to resist the opportunity to sink his claws into another establishment in town. Then again, he seemed to have his hand in so many different cookie jars that it was difficult to know which was his focus at any given time. “Buy anything that I can think of would require a significant amount of probable cause to justify doing. Which we don’t have.”

she worries on her bottom lip, teeth digging as she listens to bianca. it’s nothing but wishful thinking and yet she can’t help but hope that this silly suggestion of hers sparks some magical inspiration on her counterpart. it doesn’t happen, of course. if a magical solution was possible, cassandra is positive they would’ve hunted it down. again, the brunette has to control the urge to hit something. if only she had a probable cause to justify skye’s face under her fist - wouldn’t that be the most satisfying thing? 

her fingers drum against the table and cassandra leans forward, sips on her coffee instead of tossing her mug across the room. “ fucking skyes, ” she nearly hisses. her jaw locks as the brunette puts herself to think again over the frustration setting on her gut. “ but if we can’t bait skyes, ” she starts, pausing. “ what would take to bait some of his minions? because those should be easier to get to. ”

Night to Remember.

FLASHBACK PARA: NEW YEARS EVE 2018

It was one of the biggest nights of the year and one of the biggest parties was being thrown and there was no way that Minnie was going to miss this, it was maybe 40 minutes to midnight and she was currently hand in hand with some guy that she hadn’t met, running down towards the sure to continue on with what had happened in the front room, which was something more then then just ‘heavy’ petting. “Shhh-… we’re gonna get caught” she laughed but do you think the twenty year old cared? She had already committed in the drinking illegally and now she was about to break the law yet again by committing in public indecency. 

But due to the fact that she was very close to being intoxicated right now, she did not care, his hand was under her clothes and they were having a good time, that was until there was a flash light in their faces and someone on the other side of it saying something she couldn’t understand because one she was blinded by the light and the fact that the waves were crashing so hard against the shore that at this point she began to speak but she was going to wish she hadn’t; “Dude, if you wanted to watch all you had to do is ask-… you know I don’t mind a bit of an audience” { @cassandrivm​ }

[cassandrivm]

if it was her choice, cassandra would never be on duty on new year’s eve. it’s not even about the celebrations. if off duty, she would probably have dinner with her father then proceed to get very drunk at her own apartment with no one around to judge her. what she hates the most about new year’s eve are the perps. people are brought in mostly for petty crimes and they can get especially annoying to deal with. she is safe from them for now, but the clock pushes her not only closer to midnight but closer to being on cell guard duty. she has to stifle the urge to groan. 

while it doesn’t happen, she is on patrol in one of andromeda’s parties. the kind that gives the worst perps. and as she sees a couple escaping towards the shore she does groan. it’s everything she doesn’t need tonight - a couple of exhibitionists causing trouble. cassandra eyes her partner and points to the couple with her head, waiting a few seconds before following them. it’s no surprise that when she points the flashlight at them there are less clothes. heterosexual couples could be classier. 

“andromeda pd, step away from each other.” she says in a commanding voice. the response that comes takes cassandra by surprise and she doubts the other woman heard her. either that, or she got a thing for challenging authority. “you get the guy,” she tells her partner before pulling her cuffs out and walking towards the girl. “noticed you don’t mind an audience, and that’s why you’re under arrest.” cassandra says simply, before starting to list her rights.

Posey could understand where the other was coming from because she wasn’t a very sociable person herself so there was only really a few people with whom she could really trust and communicate with so she was more delighted when the other took the seat she offered; “I have b-been told by m-my therapist to try and get o-out more and communicate w-with people so I am t-trying to do that because I s-sometimes find it really d-difficult to do so” it was definitely a barrier but one she wasn’t allowing her to stop her.

cassandra has to admit: it takes some courage to put yourself out there. especially when there’s something different about your speech. it explains a lot about the blonde woman and why she seems to lack social articulation. the woman takes a sip of her coffee - thankfully the coffee machine works - and nods at posey. “well, i can say that i think it’s difficult to communicate with people, so i can only imagine what it’s like for you,” cassandra says. “sorry i came off as rude earlier, i just didn’t know what to think of you and my job is to be suspicious.”

bo smiled at the other she never forgot a face when she met them. “i’m grand I mean performing on a sore throat but I’m alright, thank you so much, I mean I tried to do my best given the state my voice is now” she said a slight rasp to the end of it “I don’t know it’s like my lungs are plastic or something I couldn’t get enough air there” she said before ordering two for the pair of them. “how’s work good?”

cassandra’s eyebrows knit together at the slight ramble from the woman in front of her. she never imagined the singer is this as sick as she says she is. lungs feeling like plastic? it definitely doesn’t sound as a good thing. “uhhhh-” cassandra starts, a bit awkwardly. “that sounds bad. are you sure you should be singing? or be out of your bed?” the brunette asks, raising her eyebrows. “it’s been fine, yeah. andromeda isn’t the most eventful of places.”

Tina glanced slowly over her shoulder at the offer of another chocolate bar, though she was still visibly huffing about the original. “A second chocolate bar?” she asked suspiciously, finally turning fully to give the other woman a once over. Frankly, she didn’t care that she was being a nuisance, but was she about to turn down both a challenge and the prospect of more chocolate? No.

“That’s not a fair deal,” Tina continued, sticking her nose stubbornly in the air. “I can’t get the chocolate bar out silently, but I can get it out quietly.”

“a second chocolate bar, yes.” cassandra agrees, nodding her head. she is proud when the other woman takes her bait, at least for a moment. she is proud at herself for figuring out that if the blonde wouldn’t step down from the challenge the vending machine posed, she wouldn’t step down from cassandra’s bet. the brunette is disappointed to find that it might not work properly and grant her the sweet sweet gift of silence. her eyebrows raise at the woman’s negotiation and crosses her arms. “well, define quietly,” she says. “i’m interested in your plan for this.”
