At the Wayne tower

"You are a bit early" said a tanned blue eyed girl. Her small perfect lips parted again to tell me to wait in the meeting room and that in a few minutes refreshments will be brought up. She had a soft voice that rolled of her tongue gently. Her eyes, of deep blue, like two drops of ocean water, were scanning me up and down. When our eyes met she stopped giving instructions.

"I... I'm Sarah." The girl said in a hypnotic voice. "And I am Adam" I answered. "Yes.. I know who you are Lieutenant Lisov." She averted her gaze, and handed me some papers over the table. "You need to sign this, it ensures your confidentiality with Wayne Industries about the beta test you will be doing." She placed a pen next to the documents, her hand is slightly trembling, not sure why. She doesn't seem intimidated, nor afraid. It could be either I'm not being told everything or maybe something else.

"And what is this Beta test?" Her blue eyes fixated on mine as I asked. "You will see soon enough, once the others arrive" she said in a smooth gentle voice. She had something alluring about her. Though her clothes, a flattering grey suit with a grey skirt, a black blouse and black heels, already gave her very attractive looks a boost, there was something else. She didn't seem to walk, but float. She didn't hold the files, but they just seem to follow her. She was a gentle creature, but with a strong aura of some other scent. One could not look at her and not admire her fragile beauty, but on the other hand, one cannot miss how lovely she would look on the bedroom floor. Everything she did had that grace but on the other hand that allure.

"What others?" I asked, I wasn't sure of the purpose of this visit. I had guessed it had something to do with the scheme my sister played on the billionaire. But now it seems it had nothing to do with that.

Before Sarah had a chance to answer, voices came through the door, a deep voice belonging to the billionaire , a rasp melodic voice belonging to the Captain, A tenor together with an alt, belonging to two unknown dark skinned people, who it was clear had some family ties, most likely father and daughter. And two other voices, one of a stern woman, whose first reaction upon entering the room was first to scan every corner of it, sizing me as well. She was talking and listening to a smiling young woman, who clearly brightens up every room she is in.

"Ah, great everyone are already here" Sonia exclaimed while giving the brown haired blue eyed girl a look of go away as soon as possible. "Adam, since you are the only one who doesn't know anyone, I want you to meet Lucius Fox and his daughter Tiffany, they work in the Wayne R&D department." The captain gestured towards the dark skinned man in the beige suit with glasses, and to the onyx beauty next to him, dressed plainly but even the baggy pants failed to hide her curves. "This is Sergeant Renee Montoya, my second. As you can guess, if you fail to do anything she tells you to do, you are going to have a problem with me." the stern woman she was pointing at now, had a tall lean frame, black hair, big red lips and captivating eyes, no reason not to follow her orders. "And lastly, the bane of my work day, and your partner, Lydia. You will get used to her always look on the Brightside persona." Lydia was standing a bit behind the Sergeant, she locked her hazel eyes with mine as she proceeded to sit down across the table, her eyes had a spark in them, and beneath the button nose there was a smile on her lips as she made the movement of Hi without speaking.

As everyone took their places around the table, Mr. Wayne spoke. "Alright, great seeing everyone, I truly hope this meeting will lead to further and better cooperation between Wayne industries and the GCPD. Needless to say, nothing we say here should leave this room, and everything should stay between us. Sarah will pass you some documents to sign, just as an insurance of your confidentiality." He gestured to the lean girl who started passing the same document in front of me to the others, receiving a warm smile from my new partner, a puzzled stare from the Sergeant, and a venomous look from Sonia.

"Don't worry, it's just a formality, you were all hand picked by the Commissioner and I, and I know you are all more than trust worthy." The black haired man finished. I was eager to know what was the purpose of this meeting, and why my trustworthiness is being in question. "I didn't know it was a work related meeting. Had I known, I would've dressed better" I shot, just to see where it lands. "You don't look that bad in that shirt" Lydia said, giving a seductive wink. "I am not petty Adam. And it's quite the other way around, I was impressed. So no scolding from me." Bruce said while the others donned curious looks on their faces, except for Sonia, who was clearly laughing to herself. "Just as a side note, you weren't an asshole enough." He added.

After being introduced again, the beige suit man stepped forward and started explaining the reason for this gathering. "As you know, Wayne industries works closely with the GCPD, and we have a new product we would like you to test before we implement it to the ****." Lucius started, gesturing to his daughter to come to the table. "Your unit will be assigned three of our X43 Detective drones" he continued as Tiffany brought up a small metallic box not much bigger from the palm of a hand and set it on the table. The box opened and small rotors came out of its sides. "The X43 records everything, it allows you to do scans of a crime-scene and analyze the data on the spot. It has advanced full-spectrum sensors which allows you to see almost any detail, from chemical compositions to changes in surfaces." The drone flew up from the table, did a quick spin, and flew next to Tiffany. "The detective drone can recreate any scene and scenario to help you figure out what has transpired before. It can do that either by using the augmented reality contact lenses, or by a holographic display. For example" Lucius gestured his daughter, and the dark skinned girl ordered the drone to display a heat map of the room. Before us on the table was a small hologram of the room in a colourful infrared display. Eight figures were displayed, three standing, five were sitting. I hoped no one noticed, one of the sitting figures had a lower temperature than the rest.

"Thank you Lucius" Bruce interrupted, "You will get accustomed to the more technical things the more you use it" he continued looking everyone of the officers in the eyes. "I am planning in launching these drones and offering them to all law enforcement facilities. Know that these drones are safe, and we don't really need the testing, it's just a way to offer the GCPD free samples without pissing off the board." He finished.

"Great, so when will we get the drones" Sonia asked. "Next week, Monday I guess. They are shipping the first batch tomorrow." Lucius answered. Sonia looked as if she had another question, but she didn't ask it.

"I hope it will be just another example of us working together to better the safety of this city. You will get the drones next week, we will contact you further about the beta. Try not to break them on the first day, they are expensive, and farewell" Bruce ended as he stood up, shook Lucius's hand and got out of the meeting room. The others follow suit soon after, exiting the room one after the other.

Lydia stayed behind by the door, and as I came around the table it was clear she was eyeing me up from head to toe. "Well partner, I know you officially only start next week, but do you want to get to know each other a bit? It will help us build our little relationship that I'm sure will last for years to come." she said with that small smile in her eyes and on her lips. Behind her, Sarah finished picking up all the documents from the table and headed through the door. But as she passed behind the hazel eyed beauty, her own blue eyes were fixed into mine and a small suggestive look was visible in them, also she added a small nod, as asking me to follow her.

"So, what do you say?" asked Lydia with a wide smile full of white teeth and a bright spark in her eyes.
