261 Reinstatement (I)

Rorschach dropped Odeya off at school and drove to the police station.

Lupita, the front desk, saw him walk into the police station and quickly stood up.

"Sheriff, congratulations."

"Hello, Lupita."

Rorschach nodded, it seemed that the news of his reinstatement had spread throughout the police station.

"God forbid, the investigation is finally over and the sheriff can continue to lead us."

Lupita grinned with delight, her eyes narrowing into a slit. Rorschach could tell in her smile that she was genuine.

"Thank you." Rorschach smiled back and pointed to the hall, "Is Chief West here?" ”

"Here, in your office."

"Okay." Rorschach waved at Lupita and turned to walk down the hall.

As soon as he walked into the hall, several eyes focused on Rorschach. Brian, a black police officer, and Bob, a Chinese police officer, stood up and clapped their palms excitedly.

With the two of them taking the lead, the other police officers also hurriedly stood up and applauded.

In the midst of applause, Rorschach pressed his hand.

"Okay, clapping your hands so hard, aren't you afraid of hand pain? I'm just out on vacation, don't you think I'm going to come back? ”

"How so!" Brian shouted, "I'm looking forward to your return, sir." ”

"You're expecting the sheriff to help you raise your salary, right?"

Bob teased from the side.

"Oh my God, am I that kind of person?" Brian asked.

"Isn't it?" Bob asked rhetorically.

For a while, there was laughter in the hall of the police station.

It wasn't until Deputy Sheriff Emmett coughed that the laughter gradually stopped. With that, Emmett got up from behind her desk and walked towards Rorschach.

Rorschach smiled when he saw the deputy sheriff approaching.

Emmett stretched out his hand and said:

"Congratulations, Sheriff."

"Thank you." Rorschach shook hands with Emmett, "The affairs of the police department have been supported by you these days, and it has been hard work. ”

"It should." Emmett shrugged and pointed to the sheriff's office, "Chief West has been waiting for a while. ”

"I know." Rorschach nodded, and walked briskly to the office.

No sooner had Rorschach opened the door to his office than Chief West, who was sitting at his desk, stood up and greeted him.

"Sheriff, long time no see." Chief West held out his hand.

"Hello, Chief West."

The two were reserved, and Chief West smiled:

"From today onwards, sheriff, you can get on with your work."

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome...... Chief West looked at him, "as far as I can see, Sheriff, your ability can go to the big city to develop." Are you interested? ”

"I don't want to leave Sleepy Town just yet."

Rorschach shook his head. He didn't want to leave here for the time being, Rebecca hadn't been found yet, the prestige of Sleeping Town was not worshipped, and the most important thing was that he hadn't let the criminals here fall under the law, so he was not willing to leave like this.

"Okay." Chief West patted him on the shoulder, "I have a friend who has been transferred to Gotham City, and he has been looking for a helper, in fact, I really want you to help him." ”

"Gotham?" Rorschach narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly, "I think there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”

"Oh...... "Well," said Chief West with a smile, "if you want to change places one day, you can always contact me." ”

"No problem." Rorschach nodded.

"Okay, I won't disturb you at work, sheriff." Chief West picked up the briefcase in the corner of the table, "I need to rush back to headquarters, there are still cases to deal with." ”

"I'll send you." Rorschach hurriedly opened the door.

"Just send it here." Chief West pointed to the door of the office, "You haven't been at the police station these days, there must be a backlog of things that haven't been dealt with, you get busy first, I'll go by myself." ”

"Okay." Rorschach laughed, "Then send it here." ”

After saying goodbye to Chief West, Rorschach sat down at his desk and began to work on the paperwork that had accumulated these days.

Just as he was piling up his papers, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Rorschach looked up and saw Jessica push the door open and walk into the office.

"Hey, Grand Sheriff." Jessica smiled, "Congratulations on getting back to work." ”

"Thank you." Rorschach asked curiously, "Why didn't I see you just now?" ”

"Just finished patrolling, where did you go on this vacation?"

"Island." Rorschach shrugged, "It's not a very fun place. ”

Jessica looked envious, then turned to dissatisfaction.

"Isn't the island fun? You're going to be angry, I don't even have time for a vacation! ”

"Do you want me to give you a vacation?"

"Don't." Jessica shook her head and said, "It's not a paid holiday, can you give me a paid holiday?" ”

"I'm sorry, that's really not ......," Rorschach spread his hands.

"It's boring." Jessica pursed her lips and smiled, "Let's celebrate in the evening." ”

"Celebrating? All right. ”

"However, if you want to have a treat, I swiped my credit card last time I repaired the car, and all this month's salary was paid to the bill, so I can only go to the dancer to subsidize the family."

"Okay, okay." Rorschach hurriedly agreed, "In order not to let you go to the striptease dance, I'll pay for it." ”

"What a reluctant look." Jessica looked disgusted.

"How so." Rorschach smiled, "Of course I pay for eating with the lady." ”

"That's settled." The corners of Jessica's mouth curled up and showed a successful smile, "There's a new restaurant in town, I've always wanted to go, but it's too expensive, let's go tonight." ”

"No problem." Rorschach agreed. Since joining S.H.I.E.L.D., he has received additional allowances, and he is finally no longer shy in his pocket.

……

In the evening, Rorschach returns to the tavern, changes into a dark casual suit, and drives the Mustang to the restaurant where Jessica has been met.

The name of the restaurant is "Victorian Fine Dining Restaurant", and you can tell from the name that this is an English restaurant, or the expensive kind. Why is it judged like this, because as long as the full name of the general Western restaurant is written "fine dining" or "fine restaurant", it will definitely not be cheap.

But most crucially, this restaurant is an English restaurant with a focus on British cuisine...... Rorschach took a deep breath, hoping that the "dark cuisine" here was not so British.

Rorschach waited in front of the restaurant for a moment, and Jessica appeared in his sight.

Tonight, Jessica's dress is distinctly colored, with a white bat shirt, a black puffy skirt, long brown hair coiled on top of her head, and her delicate face is set off by makeup on her face, and her full lips are painted in the color of bean paste, and the whole person looks more energetic than usual.

Rorschach hurriedly stepped forward, looked at Jessica and smiled:

"Beautiful lady, alone?"

"I'm sorry, I made an appointment." Jessica smiled lightly and winked mischievously.

"Who is this lucky one? It's really jealous. ”

"Nasty." Jessica glanced past him, "I'm going to starve to death, let's go eat." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Rorschach hurriedly followed Jessica's footsteps.

The two walked into the dining room and, led by the hostess, sat down in a window position.

While Jessica was flipping through the menu, Rorschach looked around and took a look at the restaurant, which was decorated in a retro style with a Victorian style. The surrounding walls are covered with pale floral wallpaper, framed paintings of various sizes, white tablecloths on a square wooden table, and red leather chairs with no armrests.

After a while, Jessica ordered dinner, and there was no shortage of appetizers, main courses, and desserts.

Rorschach asked for a complimentary glass of water and chatted with Jessica as she waited for the food to be served.
