“Yeah, I mean, I’m pretty sure, why?”
“I think you might want to take some additional forensics classes beyond the minimum or maybe better yet, try another line of work that doesn’t involve performing postmortems.”
The man saidfuriously, “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“I thought I was pretty clear.” Decker turned to Green. “So, are we good to go on this investigation? Working it together?”
Green looked at him curiously for a moment and said, “You have to keep us looped in oneverything. No exceptions.”

“There’s a lot of ground to cover, so I say two and two,” replied Decker. “That way we can each hit a crime scene.”
Lassiter interjected, “Good, I’ll go with you and your partner can go with Marty.”
Jamison looked surprised by this. “Why? You have your team and we have ours.”
“Because that way we’ll be apprised andup to date on both sets of investigations,” said Lassiter. “There won’t have to be any long, drawn-out reports or multiple explanations. Saves everyone time and trouble.”

“Just FYI,my partner is a little difficult to work with.”
“Trust me, I’d spotted that myself,” replied Lassiter.
“No, I’m not sure you have the full picture.”
“Well, Marty’s no peach to partner with either. But we’re girls in guys’ territory, right? We learn how to deal with it.”
This unexpected comment drew a smile from Jamison. “I think that’s the first thing you’vesaid I agree with.”
“Let’s hope there’s more in the future.”
