The caller said he was the victim of a crime, and Detective Smug was assigned the case. The citizen hung up without giving further details. Lieutenant Smith had fielded many complaint calls from angry citizens. He understood that detectives didn’t always have the luxury of treating everyone courteously.

Lieutenant Smith mentioned the anonymous complaint in passing, and Sergeant Davis nodded. Lieutenant Smith detected concern in Sergeant Davis response and asked if something was troubling her.
