I found the original notebook I started working in. I have, maybe, more more section to post before I am entirely out of new material. I guess I have to continue the story... Never leave anything incomplete.
Apology Letter
I’m terribly sorry that I have been absent. I have been in a rut. My life had not been what I had wanted it to be. Things have been changing. Something about the last month has motivated me to work again. I don’t know if its due to me moving into a new place, having my best friend visit me and explore the beautiful PNW with me, or a combination of everything... but I feel so much better. I have started writing again. I have started working on my album again. I grew a beard. Chronicles Of I was one of my favorite projects, and one of the biggest blows to my life when I stopped writing it. I’m ready to pick up the pieces and continue if you all are ready to continue the journey with me. -- Dathan

Everyone was so overworked and tired, they lost sight of why they were really here. This was the Plan he needed. He had burnt everyone out and now it was time to admit his defeat and get everyone burning again.
He took a few minutes to pace around his office collecting his thoughts. Staring out the window at his force, he silently apologized to everyone. Letting his mouth form the words and just enough air to pass over his vocal cords to make his apology audible, but only to himself.
What would he say to them? What should he say to them? He, honestly, did not know, but he was going to say something. Anything. He paced to the door and placed his hand on the knob and held it there for a second, stalling. The palms of his hands grew clammy and he felt nervous. The kind of nerves you feel all the way down to the bit of your stomach. He had never accepted defeat in all his time as an officer.
He gripped the handle and turned it slowly, pulling the door toward him and marching through. He walked straight to the head of the office and turned to face everyone.
No one had really noticed him there yet. He looked around the room at all of the busy faces. He swallowed hard feeling his pride go down roughly before opening his mouth.
“Everyone, listen up.” A few people looked but it was not enough. he needed everyone.
“I said, listen up!” He bellowed over the chatter. Quickly the room fell silent. All eyes were on him. He hesitated a moment. Usually when he spoke to the group like this, he was yelling and giving orders.
He takes a deep breath in and sighs heavily before speaking. “I’m sure you all have been aware of the problems in Gotham and the measure we have tried to take to correct these problems. None of these efforts have worked and yet, I keep trying and trying. I spent our entire budget, worked everyone harder than I should have, and even brought innocent civilians into the mix. None of that should have happened.
“I am proposing some new ideas to all of you to help relieve stress on all of us. First of all, there is not much I am able to do about the budget issue. I am going to draft a request for an extension into next years budget, but I do not expect it to go through. In the mean time, we must make the best of what we have. Secondly, I am going to leave the option for civilian patrol in place, but I will be stepping back from pressing the option upon people in such a forceful manner. Newspaper ads and small radio spots should be enough. Nothing more.
“Lastly, and most importantly, you will not be asked or forced to work anymore than you are required, outside of certain circumstances. Although The option will still be available, it will not be mandatory. I, myself, may throw in an incentive if you choose to take part in the available overtime.
“With that being said, I would like to sit with each of you, individually, and discuss further action. I attempted to take our city back by force. Since that did not work, we will work together to come up with a new strategy.
“We will come up with new beat maps, places that need more coverage, places that need less, places that need overlapping coverage, et cetera. I want to find everyones strengths and play off of them. I also want to find everyones weaknesses and turn them into strengths.”
He pauses for a few seconds to recollect his thoughts and look around the room once again. Everyones eyes were still on him. Everything was silent. Everyone was listening and the atmosphere in the room had changed. It had become a slightly more positive feeling as opposed to the tense and hectic feeling it had had for months now. It was not very drastic of a change, but it was something.
“I will also be spending more time on patrol. Not alone. I will move from place to place, ideally patrolling with each of you eventually. I need to feel out the whole city in order to decide how to proceed.”
He slowly starts walking down in front of everyone. Walking past like he was heading to his office then suddenly stops in the middle of everyone.
I also want names. Names of anyone, who, if taken down, might put a dent in our drug and crime problem. Any names collected should be brought to my attention immediately. The sooner we can get the problems gone, the sooner I can feel comfortable in my own city again.”
As he looks around the room, he notices several people nodding in agreement with his last statement. “Things return to normal tomorrow. If tomorrow was a normal day on for you, work it. If not, it’s now strictly voluntary. Work if you wish, but if you choose not to, I would like a notice. I will be setting up meetings with all of you over the next couple of weeks. Thanks everyone.”
There was a hush in the room as he ventured back to his office. The only sound was the sound of his shoes every time they touched the floor. The silence was almost awkward, it felt good though. Things would soon be back on track.
He enters his office and closes the door behind him. Things will be how they used to be soon.
He could hear the chatter starting up again outside his office.
Soon.
What's your favourite band?
Sorry it took so long to reply, I’ve kinda been away for a while.
my favorite band kind of changes from day to day. La Dispute, Bayside, The Front Bottoms, Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties, Brand New, and The Wonder Years are the ones that I keep in constant rotation.

Chief Gordon awoke the next morning feeling oddly refreshed and upbeat. He did not struggle to turn off the alarm clock this morning and found it very easy to pull himself out of bed. Showering and donning his uniform, he drove off to the station and went up into his office like usual.
With his coffee in hand, he settled down to review reports from the night before and start in on the current day. Nothing seemed out of place compared to any other day except for the fact that the chief felt like he was thinking a little differently. Thinking a little more clearly and level to be exact. He let his mind drift back to the night before. Curled up on his bathroom floor, sobbing like a baby. It definitely would have been the most embarrassing thing if he had been seen by anyone, but it seemed to have trigger something in him. Maybe he had finally found the one person who was worse off than himself.
He had found him in a very unusual place. A simple notebook. The strange part of it all, was that the person who was more alone than himself, and had less than anyone, was a very happy person. This I character had no money, no permanent home, no friends, no family, and no one to love, but still seemed cheery all the time. But why? What had he done to get to that point? As a matter of fact, what had happened to bring him down in the first place? His morale was always so high...
At that moment, it was as if a switch flipped on in the chief’s mind. Of course, how could he have avoided the fact for so long? He wanted Gotham to become the thriving city it once was, and he thought he had tried everything until this moment. He had overworked his entire force, begged for a bigger force, recruited citizens, spent their entire budget on dead end projects, and, in the process, lost sight of probably the most important thing that they needed.
Morale.
Just another update!
I just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't disappeared! I've had a lot of stuff going on, but I'm getting back into the swing of things now that the dust has settled. First off, I've been overworked at work. I work retail, and we just had inventory. It was a disaster. Secondly, I'm working on moving to my new place which will be done in the next few days. I've also been spending a lot of time planning a trip in April. I get to go back to hometown for a few days for family stuff. Then, I'm moving a close friend of mine to my area. It's been a long and exhausting process, but it's all coming together! I love you all and my inbox is always open :-) Stay classy, San Diego.
Does anyone want to ask me anything? I'm open to the idea of that. :-)
