Ep 1

Dalton jolted up from his bed, the cuffs around his wrist and legs clanking as he sat up. Dalton was out of it before finally regaining full conscienceness, letting out a sigh. Noticing his tiredness, he thought," It isn't getting any better"

Dalton took his restraints off one by one before looking at the digital clock on his night stand and realized that he was late but still moved at his normal speed when getting ready. When he exited the bathroom, his blind husky, Lilia, was waiting for him. Dalton kneelled down, greeting Lilia with a elevated pitch voice and pets before going back to his room to change. When he was finished, he called Everett, Lilia's dogsitter and after a few minutes, Everett was here to look after Lilia. Even thought she looked after Lilia for 1 months, Dalton still tried to lecture about the precautions to be used for Lilia when Everett stated,"Aren't you late for work?"  trying to stop him from continuing which kinda worked. Dalton told Everett that he'll lecture her later before leaving out the door, telling Everett to lock it behind him.

After thirty minutes, Dalton had reached to work almost an hour late which his boss Mr. Dailey, his mother's friend, overlooked knowing that Dalton don't usually come to work late and knowing his situation but Dalton still tried to explain himself saying, " Morning Mr. Dailey, I apologize..." before stopping realising that he was interrupting something when he saw a woman maybe around his age standing close to Mr. Dailey.

" Morning Donovan (Dalton's last name), this is Delainy and she is your new partner starting today"

"Nice to meet you, Detective Donovan" she said with a very high pitch voice and gentle smile.

" Everyone calls Dalton, pleasure" Dalton said, extending his hand towards Delainy, who shook it firmly saying, " Same here"

" That's a good handshake you have there. I can tell I'm in good hands" Dalton announced playfully.

Delainy chuckled softly, letting go of his hand and saying," Good observation"

" Delainy, you're badge is on your desk, which is next to Dalton's. He'll show you around the place." Mr. Dailey reassured Delainy.

" Oh and Delainy, stick with Dalton; he might be annoying at times but he gets the job done with almost perfect accuracy." Mr. Dailey announced.

" What do you mean? I'm never annoying" Dalton exclaimed.

Mr. Dailey seemed to ignore Dalton waiting for Delainy's reply which Delainy responded with," Yes sir."

Mr. Dailey looked at Dalton before telling Delainy," Can I have a moment alone with him please?"

" Sure" Delainy replied.

Mr. Dailey walked to an area with less people around, making sure Dalton was behind him

before asking," Are you sure you are ready to come back to work?"

" Yes Mr. Dailey" Dalton responded.

" You better be telling me the truth, Dalton" Mr. Dailey urged.

" I can't seem lie to you" Dalton reassured.

" It's good to see you back" Mr. Dailey stated leaving Dalton and entering his office. Delainy watched him as this happens from afar
