Meanwhile …Willow Brooke District… MANUEL “So you lost her? Why exactly? What’s your reason for being so inefficient time and time again!” My boss growled at me, banging his hands on the table. I bowed slightly and slowly stepped backwards. “Sir, A woman was involved, I could not just leave her there, I …”“Can you even hear yourself speak?!” He slammed cutting me off sharply. “So you let a wanted criminal escape because you wanted to save a woman, what happened to calling for back up? Make your actions make sense?!” “I’m sorry sir,” I muttered bowing again.“What the heck do I need your sorry for?! Fix this as soon as possible!” He snorted in reply. I bowed slightly and turned to walk out of his office. “By the way, what’s that thing you sent to my mail this Morning?!” He asked.
