The second Examiner and the Guard had to excuse themselves to take care of stationary duties while the train was standing, including allowing passengers to board, leaving Goodwin, Examiner Botting and Bowen to welcome the Officer to her new role.
However, as they all turned to greet her, the blonde was slightly taken aback with her appearance, as shown by the look on his face.
She was, well, more than pretty. Her hair was so different, but looked so awesome, her uniform, while different from police officers he knew in his world, was something that suited her quite well. He had a slightly noticeable blush on his face… and Examiner Botting noticed, gently elbowing the driver to ‘wake up’ a bit.
"Gentlemen, this is Officer Jenny." Mr Goodwin spoke before shaking her hand. "It’s good to see you again, Officer. Unfortunately two of our party have gone to attend to their duties, but you’ll meet them soon enough, they are Ticket Examiner Bob Hayes and Guard Josh Grayson." With a nod to the two left, the driver and Examiner saluted the officer as they both shook her hand. Bowen had a composed, but slightly noticeably shy smile, when it was his turn to shake her hand.
And when she referred to him as her ‘Partner in fighting crime’, he just let out another smile and nodded to her. “O..of course.”
The Assistant Commissioner was more than pleased with her words of confidence and determination. "I cannot see myself being disappointed at your efforts. You are already showing me that your willingness for the concept will take us leaps and bounds in providing the perfect service." And that was when he realised he hadn’t properly introduced the two men before her.
He gestured to the older man in the olive-gray uniform. “Anyways, this man is Ticket Examiner Brian Botting, he and Examiner Hayes are tasked with, as the title says, examining the tickets of passengers and minimising fare evasion. The Guard for this trip, Josh Grayson, communicates with the driver in regards to departures and ensures that safeworking is adhered to, he’s in a sense in charge of the train other than the actual operation of things.”
And then he gestured to the blonde, in the blue driver’s uniform. "And this person you would have seen in the news. This is Railcar Driver Bowen Chuuno. He was driving the train that went through that forest fire while those battles were going. If it wasn’t for his heroics and determination, the end result of that scenario would have been entirely different." To which the blonde nodded, shyly. He wasn’t one to toot his own horn.. and when it came to others tooting it for him, especially in front of someone like Officer Jenny, well, he couldn’t help but turn a little red… again.
