FINE LINE - T. BRADFORD

5

"Let me see, let me see!" Angela exclaims as Mirana walks into the bullpen, back in her uniform after the range requalifications.

Mirana holds out her hand to Angela who gasps, examining the ring on her left hand. She whistles lowly as Nyla approaches before examining the ring.

"Bradford did good," Nyla says. "That's a knuckle duster"

"Hey!" Lucy greets the three women. "Banana, Tamara's here, in reception"

"We're celebrating soon," Nyla says, pointing at Mirana who nods before she walks away with Lucy.

Mirana walks into the reception with Lucy and Tamara hops up to meet the two women, thrusting a piece of paper at Lucy.

"Hey, I need you to sign this,"

"Tamara. Good morning," Lucy says.

"Good morning. Hey, Mirana, how's Isaac?"

"He's bueno," Mirana nods. "He's sleeping properly now"

"Oh wow," Tamara grabs Mirana's left hand, her eyes wide. "Now that is impressive"

"Nice right?" Mirana grins and Tamara nods.

"So what's up?" Lucy asks, diverting Tamara's attention back to her.

"Can you sign the title to the car?" Tamara asks. "Cops keep eyeballing it, and they're not gonna believe you gave it to me"

"You know, you still haven't confirmed our Tuesday morning appointment with the social worker," Lucy says. "We need to find you a real place to live"

"I'll be there. I promise," Tamara says.

"All right," Lucy nods before noticing a psych textbook in Tamara's bag. "Oh, hey. I was a psychology major"

"Cool, but it's just a class that I have to take," Tamara shrugs.

"Well, you might want to pay a little extra attention to it. I found that it really helped me understand what motivates people," Lucy says.

"So does living on the street,"

"She psychoanalyses everyone," Mirana says to Tamara who laughs as Lucy signs the form.

"The car is officially yours. Drive safe,"

"Thanks," Tamara says.

"You're welcome,"

Tamara leaves as Tim and Lawrence approach the two women.

"How's the puppy?" Tim asks.

"She's doing really great," Lucy nods and Mirana chimes in.

"Oh, she told me to tell you, uh, better luck next time at the range,"

"Get changed," Tim rolls his eyes as Mirana walks away laughing.
