Apathy, Chauvinism, Harming those who can't protect themselves.
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
I... Heck, if the criterion is: "The pessimist said, 'It can't get any worse than this...' "And the optimist answered, 'Oh, it can!'" ... I'd say an optimist.
79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you? I don't think much really shocks me anymore. Offends... Well, chauvinism. Incompetence in my superiors or the people on whom my life may depend. Offense given to my family or friends.
97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
... Helping leave the city cleaner from scum of any variety than I found it.
13. What do you have in your pockets?
Police badge and ID. Wallet, and some loose change. Cell phone. An old shopping receipt. Keys. Handgun rounds.
37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
I honestly don't know. Try to give a warning regarding something where we'd have been able to save more lives if we'd had more information in advance, I think.
84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?
Huh. Up in the morning, get weaponry ready, practice if I woke up too early, go to work. Deal with cases and colleagues and idiots, go home. Catch up on the news, possibly on family. Dine, sleep. ... Well, that routine being disrupted is rather regular in itself, so I'm not too bothered by the disruptions much.
Unless I go missing for a day or so without giving warning. I hate shrinks...
80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
Practice aikido sequences for a while. Listen to news, possibly watch a movie. Read. Try to find a way to sleep, because generally, it's necessary that my brain is functional during the day. Lives, including mine, depend on it.
31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Getting the Special Investigations department into a working, functional, and effective unit. Which is willing to accept the things that we're dealing with - and accept help about that with at least granting those who'll help the benefit of the doubt.
23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
Helping my mother and grandmother. Listening to my father's stories, when he'd tell them. Figuring hard questions out.
