Choose Your Own Adventure

I haven't added content lately because of a new job, and Crazy hasn't because he's a lazy asshole (well, so am I). So I asked Greg, friend of the blog, to make a contribution. He decided to make a choose your own adventure story, where at the end there are four choices for how the story progresses. Vote in the comments section of the entry.

Intro:

You, the Main Character, Vincent D’Marco:






















You, a 31 year old male, are a detective for the New Haven, CT police department. You’ve been apart of the force for almost 8 years. You were promoted to detective 3 years ago and have been working hard towards a promotion to captain. The recent rash of gun violence the past few years has, perhaps somewhat sadly, bolstered your reputation around the city. You are known as a cunning detective, an investigator that can both stick to the rules and think outside the box. Most of the department respects you, but there are a few cops on the force believe you to be too soft at times. You don’t make arrests and until you are certain you have the evidence for a conviction, much to the chagrin of a few colleagues. The men and women on the SWAT team are particularly fond of you, having almost made the team before deciding to accept a promotion to detective.

Detective Casey Breyers, your partner:























Your partner is a 27 year old female, fairly attractive, just recently promoted to detective. Many around the precinct believe she isn’t ready for the responsibilities of detective, and some suspect she was promoted solely because she is a woman. You’ve been partners for about 9 months now, and from what you’ve seen she’s intelligent and a good cop, but lacks an air of confidence the other detectives carry, perhaps from the both the pressure of the new promotion and her gender. You think she might be interested in you romantically, but the last few months have been busy and you hesitate to ask out someone you have to work with every day.

Captain Francis Giancano, your boss:























A 47 year old male, tough on crime and sometimes tougher on his precinct. Demands results, and doesn’t care how he gets them, often leading to confrontations with some of the officers that do things strictly by the book. You and the captain get along most of the time, but only because your arrests lead to convictions. He and Casey do not get along, and he resents her mostly because he felt pressure to promote her from department brass.

More character intros as the story progresses

You sit at your desk and take a glance at the clock on the wall in front of you. 4:50pm. 10 more minutes and you can leave for the day. You look forward to getting home, cracking open a beer, and catching the Yankee game. Your paper work is done, so you grab your jacket and start to head out a few minutes early. You begin to walk away from you desk when Casey strolls down the hallway calling you name. Almost simultaneously the phone on your desk begins to ring. What do you do?


A)Ignore the phone, and see what Casey wants
B)Ignore Casey and answer the phone
C)Put your cellphone to your ear pretending to be on a call, ignoring both Casey and the phone and leaving the station.
D)Motion to Casey to come over and chat while you quickly see what the phone call concerns
