Chapter Forty-Seven
November 1st, 2228, Neo Southern California Metroplex, Police Enforcement Zone 122 Station, Office of Detectives Jia Lin and Erik Blackwell
Jia stared at Erik from her desk, her eyes narrowed and her arms folded across her chest.
She couldn’t believe how stubborn the man could be. While she admired his dedication, there was such a thing as working too hard. As his partner, it was her responsibility to get him to see reason.
He looked up with a mischievous smile. “What?”
“You shouldn’t be here,” Jia chided. “You got shot through the arm by a giant sentry bot.” She gestured at his arm. “If that was your other arm, it might have been blown clean in half. I’m surprised they let you out of the hospital, even with the special circumstances associated with your injury.”
