The 82nd precinct was a hustle and bustle of activity today. The entire roster was in the lobby, looking up at a box that stood on a pedestal. The box contained everyone's name, and when E shows up, people will be partnered for the day with these people. Everyone was worried, except for Bass. As he showed up, he was assaulted with questions.
OurChair: Bass, you made it, you scared man?
Bass: Scared of what?
Nurhachi: Of being teamed with Hawkeye, or Orson Scott Card.
Bass: Not really. For the past eight years I worked here, I always got partnered up with Houde on this day.
MWoF: You didn't hear?
Bass: Hear what?
MWoF: Houde called in sick today. He got food poisoning from some chinese food last night.
Bass: I told him not to get food there, that dumbass.

Flashback
Last Night
Houde: I'm going to try out this new joint over here.
Bass: The, Oh My Gawd, This Killed My Stomach place over there.
Houde: Yeah, why?
Bass: Don't eat there man.
Houde: Why not?
Bass: Look at the name.
Houde: Whatever, I don't care. Want anything?
Bass: No...
~~~
MWoF: Yeah, that was kinda stupid.
The bustle settled over the crowd, and Bass turned to look at E as he walked in.
E: Settle down people! I SAID SETTLE!
Seeing how everyone was already quiet, this called some people to look around and wonder what was going on.
E: Good, let's do this then...

Cad's DownTown Office
Cad was enjoying the day, he didn't have to go visit the 82nd at all today, and he was going to enjoy a nice relaxing day.
Then he got a call from his friend, Doc Comic.
Cad: Doc? What's the matter.
Doc Comic: I need to sue someone, and I need the best.
Cad: No problem, come to my downtown office.
Doc Comic: Alrighty.
Minutes later, a harassed looking Doc Comic showed up, throwing a piece of paper at Cad.
Doc Comic: I'm sueing that bastard for everything, EVERYTHING!
Cad: Relax man, just relax.
Doc Comic: I can't
He paces the room.
Cad: What are you sueing him for?
Doc Comic: He...He....He insulted me!
Cad: How so?
Doc Comic: We got into an argument, and he insulted me.
Cad: How so?
Doc Comic: He said....he called me...
Cad: SPIT IT OUT MAN!
Doc Comic: He called me stupid!
Silence reigned for a few minutes.
Cad: That son of a motherless goat is going down.
Doc Comic: Oh thank you!

Back at the police Station
E: Let's see who is first, shall we?
He dipped his hand into the box and pulled out a name.
E: Ah, ProjectX2, and he's teamed with....
The hand goes in again.
E: ME!
The crowd looked stunned.
ProjectX2: Yes! Day of nothing, here I come!
E: Actually, Skotti took a personal day today, so your going to have to be my secretary.
ProjectX2: No....NO!
E: Get to answering phones.
ProjectX2: I HATE THIS DAY!
E: And next partnered up will be......OurChair with......Nurhachi!
OurChair: Booya!
Nurhachi: PG-13 Porn here I come!
And so it went forth like this for an hour.
Manwithoutfear got teamed with Orson Scott Card, and since E was feeling bad for him, he gave him another partner, which turned out to be Compound.
Nigma, excited at the prospect of getting a new partner, wound up with Ice instead. Ice called it fate, and vowed to play Justin all day. Nigma was thinking about quitting. And lastly, it came down to two people, Bass and Hawkeye101.
E: And Bass gets teamed up with Hawkeye101
Bass looked stunned.
Bass: You got to be ****ting me, Houde is getting his ****ing *** kicked all over this ***** of a town.
OurChair: Dude, swear filter.
Bass: **** the piece of **** ****ing swear filter! I'm stuck with Hawkeye101.
Hawkeye101 walked over, and hugged Bass.
Bass: I hate you...
Hawkeye101: You think if I'm partnered with you, I get a real gun instead of this water pistol?
Bass: I hate you so much right now...
