The room quieted, waiting for him to continue.
“We’ve gone back over all the notes and details about our potential candidate to join our team. We have extended the offer for an interview to Officer Knight who has accepted. We will be hosting a team interview with her first. Then she’ll meet with Dec and myself. We’ll regroup afterwards and vote. If she has majority of the vote, then she’ll interview with the captain.”
“Here’s her CV. Take your time and review it. This will give you a background on her and her work history.” Declan walked around and handed out the papers to each member of the team. “Make sure you have some good questions for her.”
Declan took a seat in the front of the room once he was done.
Knight seemed like a solid candidate. Team interviews gave the men a chance to speak with the prospective member to get to know them, get a feel for them and see if they would blend in. Tryouts were to get a taste of their skills.
Fitting in with the team was everything.
Every man had to be sure they could trust each team member to cover their six.
The meeting continued, with Mac announcing they would be interviewing Knight on Monday morning. Mac spoke about training and upcoming vacations.
Myles reached for his phone. Now that he and Roxxy had officially exchanged numbers, she had promised she’d text him when she was about to leave the precinct. He wanted to at least see her one last time before she got on the road to go home.
Never would he have thought he would consider a relationship with a woman, let alone one who lived a little way away.
Glancing at the screen, he saw he had not missed any messages.
The sound of a whip being cracked filled the air.
Myles’s head flew up.
Ash had his face covered, his shoulders shaking.
Myles looked around and found Brodie, Iker, and Zain dying of laughter.
Ash pulled his hand away to reveal tears streaming down his cheeks.
“Ha, ha,” Myles snapped. He dropped his phone down on the table and glared at all of them before rotating back to Mac.
“I’m sure someone will catch us up to whatever is going on,” Declan said with a small smile on his lips.
“There’s nothing for you to be caught—” Myles was cut off by the shrill ringing and buzzing of cell phones. His gaze dropped down to his phone, and he saw it was the dispatcher.
They were getting called out on an assignment.
“SWAT, let’s roll out in five minutes,” Mac barked.
The sounds of chairs scraping filled the air.
Laughter and jokes were gone.
It was time to suit up.
“Roxxy Lynn, are you going to tell me why you have returned from the city with a glow?”
Roxxy jumped and spun around. Her mother stood behind her with her hip leaning against the counter.
Roxxy bit back a smile. She turned back to the dishes in the sink and washed a plate. There was no way she’d be able to look Shelby Sutton in the eye and tell her a lie.
Her mother could always tell.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.” She’d been back in town for a few days and had already spoken to Myles a few times. They’d missed each other when she’d submitted all final reports at the station. Apparently, he and the team had been called out on an operation.
“Oh, I think you do.” Shelby came to stand beside Roxxy with a drying cloth in her hand. She picked up a dish and wiped it dry before placing it in the cabinet. She bumped Roxxy with her hip playfully. “Go ahead, you can tell me.”
