Double shifts can kill a person.

Double shifts of what profession?

Homicide detective.

Ah, yes, I can imagine how rough those are. I've heard a few accounts myself.

It's a job that needs done.

I deeply appreciate the men and women who do it.

Why thank you.

Everyone should, since the police force is there to protect the citizens, but I especially do since my job depends on the police.

What is it you do Miss?

I'm an assistant district attorney. Which, naturally, leads to a bit of conflict with the cops as well as my appreciation for what they do.

Yeah that happens from time to time.

Especially in big cities.

Or save a lot of people.

Well my job it's too late when I get there. Actually if I'm there it's not a good thing.

How very frustrating. What are you, a mortician?

Homicide detective.

Oh. Yes. That would explain the dead people.

We just get the fun of trying to find out who did it.
