She answers her critics

"Hey, number one, I don't let just anyone into my mouth or cunt. I don't care what color or race they are. If they don't treat me with a little respect, they won't get anywhere with me. Contrary to popular belief, I am not, nor have I ever been a racist. It seems to me like you guys are the real racist, or perhaps the sexists here. I'd go out with any of you if you'd just see me as more than a piece of meat." Kate looked around at everyone and glared.

It was as if some **** had knocked them all on their asses. They all stood there totally speechless. Even the person in back of Kate took his hands off her shoulders.

"You know, maybe she's right guys. Maybe we been a little hard on her." It was the voice of the man in back of her. "She's a good cop, and she's watched our backs every time she's been out in the field with us. I think we all should give her the benefit of the doubt. Cut her some slack."

Kate turned to look at the man in back of her. Her face beamed as she smiled at him. Then, for no apparent reason, Kate took hold of him, and kissed him. "Thanks, CJ. That meant a lot to me. You're a good guy, and a good cop."

CJ stood there for a while, not sure what to say or do. "Well, uh, thank you Kate" he finally said. "I don't know what else to say, except you're a great kisser. Maybe we could do that again sometime?"

Now it was Kate's turn to be speechless. She actually liked kissing CJ, but wasn't sure how to handle this predicament. Finally she just decided to come clean. "Yeah, I think I'd like that. We can kiss again sometime. Maybe we can go out, and hang out together later?"

Before poor CJ could even answer, he found Kate and himself swamped under a deluge of flying towels from all the other assembled officers. "Get a room, you two!" bellowed a voice from across the room. Laughter soon followed.

CJ removed a towel from Kate's head. "I think this means they like you now. That means you're one of us." He smiled at her. "Yeah, later sounds good. Whatever you wanna do is fine with me. You shoot pool?"

"Do I shoot pool? I love playing pool!" Kate responded. "There's nothing more relaxing than a good game of eight ball."

"Well me and some of the guys were gonna head over to O'Malley's after the end of the shift. You're welcome to come too."

"I'd like that. It would give me a chance to get to know you guys better." Kate smiled again. "You don't think it will create too much tension around here if I beat the pants off of them, do you?"

"Only one way to find out" said CJ.

"I guess we'll be finding out then."
