Alexa feigned an offended gasp at his words, much too amused to take any real offense. "Ulterior motives? Me? I'm hurt." Her eyes seemed to brightened as a playful, almost cheshire grin spread itself across her features. You ever felt like the people in your office really knew you? Yeah, her too. But it'd been 8 years, most would by now if they were paying attention--as most law enforcers tended to. "I just happen to like lending a hand to my co-workers whenever I can, no matter what division they may be a part of. I'm helpful, Upstead."

Oh so very helpful when it suited her and got her out of the office. Suffice to say this did not extend to paperwork. The Hit Wizards had that covered all on their own and if that wasn't the case, she was sure she had enough of her own to go around.

Wanna be able to devote as much of my time as I possibly can to my darling suspect. Make sure there's nothing left he hasn't told me. Never really been one for surprises and I'd hate to leave any for the prosecution." Because she'd never hear the end of it, she was sure. "Any interesting patrols scheduled?"

Remember that tagging along thing? She was still game depending on where.
