care.” She explained as he stared into her eyes.
“We’ll have a week’s worth of training at the station before we are ready to go
out in the field. And Foster’s not my sire; he’s just a superior officer.”
“Ah, I see now.”
He smiled warmly. “Foster is your captain and I am to be trained under you to
serve as a law bringer here in this vast city.”
“Yeah, that’s
right.” She sighed in relief.
“This I most
willfully accept,” Rogan said, surprising himself with his own enthusiasm. “I
am at your service whenever you deem fit.”
“Great!” She
smiled. “Let’s get you outfitted right away then, Trainee Officer Rogan
O’Kirkfalls.”

“Are you sure
these scores and results are for real, Kincaid?” Captain Maurice ‘Mo’ Foster
raised an eyebrow as he leafed through the paperwork. “He’s practically set
records in every theoretical test we have here.”
“Wait till you get
a load of these, Captain.” The young woman beamed as she excitedly handed him
Rogan’s fitness and weapons handling tests. “I can’t believe these myself, and
barely a week ago he couldn’t tell one end of a shotgun from the other.”
“So he’s a master
of every type of firearm we’ve got now, all in the span of one week.” Foster
grunted, eyeing the reports with a little disbelief. “And he was exceptional
with his bare hands and batons, sticks and also blades even before we started
his training last week.”
“I told you that
there is something more to him than meets your eye.” Julia laughed
triumphantly.
“Sure, you can be
smug about this, but you’ve still got the task of making him into an effective
police officer.” Foster wagged his finger at her. “All these reports prove he
can make a great soldier. I wonder if the army knows about him. They’ll take
him in a heartbeat.”
“Don’t you dare,
Mo Foster.” Julia feigned anger. “Rogan is NYPD and I’m getting him his badge
in a week.”
“I’ll buy you a
steak dinner and Peter Luger’s if you get him to make the news in a week.” The
stocky captain shook his head in acceptance.
“Yum, I’ll hold
you to that, Cap.” She winked as she turned to leave his office. “And I’m
bringing Rogan with me. That man can eat, so you’d better take your Amex card
along.”
Her smile
stretched wide across her lovely face as she strode up to the highlander
waiting outside. Rogan looked up from his seat near the stairway. A week had
gone by since he had first met her. It was the most pleasant seven days of his
month long stay in this future world. He had grown accustomed to many things
and had begun to like a few of them. He felt guilty as he enjoyed Julia’s
company. She almost made it bearable for him without his beloved Alicia. It was
still too soon for him to accept that he might never see Alicia again and this
life was all he had now.
“Your awesome
scores sure made the Captain jump up.” Julia patted his broad shoulder. “We’ve
got the green light to hit the field, Rogan. Tomorrow, we’ll be out on patrol,
keeping the streets of New York free of crime.”
“I daresay, I have
been looking forward to that.” Rogan rose up, his near seven foot frame
towering over her.
“Cool, so get some
rest, no more training to do,” She grinned and patted the side of his thick
upper arm. “Take in a movie or read a book. We’ll be up and about for nine
hours a day from tomorrow.”
Rogan nodded and
watched her walk away. He wanted to follow her to where she was headed, but he
didn’t think it would be wise. She had given him her leave and he would honor
it, but he wasn’t sure of what to do next. A movie was not something he
particularly liked, having seen such moving images on small window-like screens
since the time he had been stuck in this alternate realm. He found what was shown
to be too phantasmal for his liking. And he wasn’t much
