The next morning, in the First Squad office of the Robbery and Murder Department.
Luke walked into the office area with a cup of coffee, sat sideways on a desk, and greeted, "Guys, let's talk about the progress of the investigation."
Little Black stuffed most of a donut into his mouth and mumbled, "I found something new, quite interesting."
Luke took a sip of coffee and smiled, "OK, then let's have Detective Chief Marcus tell us about it."
The deputy reminded, "Before you speak, you'd better swallow the bread crumbs, I don't want to be sprayed in the face."
Little Black complained, "Deputy, why are you always picking on me? Is it because I've been performing too well lately, making you feel threatened?"
"Yeah, you're absolutely right, Deputy Marcus!" the deputy scoffed, "Keep dreaming, kid."
