Chief Hardiman:
I understand your frustration regarding the downsizing of the Criminal Tech Division. I agree that three analysts are too few for a Department of this size but, at the moment, budgetary concerns have severely limited our options. I’ve spoken at length with the Budget and Planning Support Team, and they are currently looking into other possibilities. One solution might be to merge the Cyber Crimes and Criminal Tech divisions since they often work hand-in-hand on cases. Another alternative is to limit next quarter’s vehicle acquisition and scrap plans for a new patrol helicopter.
Sincerely,
Z. Levkin
Operations Support Division

So, didn’t go catastrophically wrong yet, and no budging on listening to health concerns yet… the former really must come first with Madison, mustn’t it?
Well, on the good side, there is many chapters worth of stories character development to be had from this plot point. I’m looking forward to interesting reading for a long time! 🙂
*stories and character development
Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if Madison ends up passing out in the next strip right after she just ripped into Reena at the end of this strip for being concerned for her health.
Stubborn cuss isn’t she. Mattie is now entering the danger zone of personal health. Time for a little R and R.
You may have mispronounced “spa time with a bestie”.
