[ WP ] You 're a rookie cop and it 's your first day on the job . When you encounter a drunk guy disturbing the peace in an alley , he turns into a dragon and you hear your partner say `` Not again ... ''

“ Not again… ” 
 
 Andrews ’ words were enough to make me pause, my hand on my Colt.38. Glancing over, I watched the annoyance on his craggy, old face bleed into exasperation. I slowly let my hand drop to my side as I turned to ask Andrews what I needed to be doing. 
 
 “ Andrews, wha- ” 
 
 “ Not right now, Summers. Just... give me a moment. ” Andrews turned away from me, as well as the green dragon rolling around on the blood-soaked pavement. Pinching the bridge of his nose, Andrews repeated some of the calming phrases we were taught at the anger-management meeting on Thursday. Before we had left the station Andrews had told me to just keep my mouth shut and watch, but I wasn ’ t sure if he wanted me to apprehend the drunk for public intoxication, or if this warranted a public indecency charge. Rocking back on my heels, I waited for Andrews to get his head back into the game. 
 
 Andrews finally turned back to me, just... looking. He motioned for me to leave the alley. True, it was protocol that senior officers deal with the effects of the shady dealings of our dragon overlords, but this was my first assignment, dammit, and I was n't about to go anywhere. 
 
 “ No way, I spent months getting coffee for you before I finally got to go out. I ’ m not leaving. ” My words may have been too direct to a senior officer, but this was my chance to get the other guys to take me seriously. 
 
 Andrews looked at me some more, before making up his mind and nodding. 
 
 “ Go get the briefcase out of the car. This is gon na be a messy one, if they just let him wander around before he changed. ” 
 
 Smiling to myself, I headed to the car. I was happy to finally be able to combat the terrors of the dragon mafia that invaded my beloved hometown.

 Some feedback would be nice, this is the first thing I've written in a while. I'm especially bad about changing tenses, so all critique is welcome.: )
