He entered the department as if he owned it and casually walked into Cassandra's office without being stopped by anyone.
"Transfer this case to the new guy, and you should resume the last week's murder case," Cassandra said to an officer standing in the office.
"Yes, chief!"
The officer turned around and left the office while staring at Rudy.
Cassandra sat on her chair and let out a weary sigh while looking at the file in her hands.
"What's wrong? Can't solve a case?" Rudy scoffed softly.
"That's not it. There are too many cases and too few officers. What can one do when crimes in the city are more than the officers?" Cassandra wondered.
"I don't know, but that sounds serious. Anything common between the crimes?"
Cassandra shook her head and said, "No. That's the first thing I do when I receive a new case. Even finding new leads is tough without clues."
"Sounds rough."
Cassandra moved her gaze from the file and looked at Rudy.
