Cole POV:
Wednesday, Commander Polina came to IA. She wanted to talk to me. Oh jeez. She has never liked me. I don't know why. She has hated me ever since she became Commander. She walks into my office where Hailey and I are working.
Hallman: Commander Polina. What can I do for you?
Polina: Detective Upton, if you don't mind. I need to have a word with Lieutenant Hallman.
Upton: Yes of course.
Hailey walks out of my office.
Polina: Why do I have a transfer quest and Sargeant request for detective Upton from you?
Hallman: Because I think Detective Upton will be a great asset at IA. She's been here for 2-3 weeks. She's cleared more cases than some of the Sergeant clear in two months.
Polina: I would watch what I say if I were you. You are on thin ice with me.
Hallman: Upton is good police and amazing at this job.
Polina: That doesn't mean you file papers on her behalf. Her sergeant at intelligence should have filed the papers. She was only supposed to be here for only a couple cases. The only reason I let her come up here was because I didn't read her file.
Hallman: I did need her. She has a unique perspective in the cases we get.
Polina: I'm detailing Detective Upton back to Intelligence where she belongs. Don't drag her down with you.
Hallman: What does that mean?
Polina: Hallman, you drag any cop you can through the mud. That's why cases haven't been closing. Don't ruin good cops. When these cops appeal, I have to deal with it. You have wrongfully convicted good cops. I'm tired of fixing your mess.
Hallman: Then keep Upton up here to keep me in line.
Polina: No, I'm bringing someone else up here instead. If Upton actually wants to get promoted anytime soon, she needs to be as far away from you as possible.
Hallman: Who are you bringing up here?
Polina: Detective Halstead. He's looking good for the new sergeant in Intelligence whenever Voight retires.
