Interview with Sergeant Slowater

I am happy to introduce our guest today. Sergeant Nita Slowater of the Special Crimes Team. Sergeant Slowater, how are you today?

Sergeant Slowater: Busy.

Um, well, yes, I can imagine. You are second-in-command of the Special Crimes Team. What an honor that must be.

Sergeant: Yeah, right. Look, can we hurry this along?

Uh…yes, sure. I understand your team is working on a murder case. Can you tell me a little about it?

Sergeant: No, I cannot. It is an ongoing investigation.

Well, does it have anything to do with the murder of a couple of our more prominent Washington state citizens?

Sergeant: I said, I cannot talk about the ongoing investigation.

Sergeant Slowater, I get the distinct impression that you are rather hostile. Is it me, it is being interviewed for a blog, or just what is it?

Sergeant: I am a cop. Cops and reporters are not on the same side. You people will do anything to get a story, even if it endangers police officers. So, yes, you might say I’m a bit hostile. Look, I can’t sit here all day sparring with you. I have work to do.

I can’t believe this, she just walked out! Wow. Guess we’ll have to try to do an interview with a different Special Crimes Team member one of these days. I did get the impression though that she had a reason for her hostility. Now, that might be a real story there!
