Riku listened closely, filing away everything she told him for later. Maybe he could come back later and memorize everything in the car. He nodded seriously as she finished. "Got it" He said and then placed his cup in the cupholder, worried that it would spill anyway. Ah well. He'd deal with it if it happened. Hopefully she had been teasing about the toothbrush thing. He put his seatbelt on and looked at her. "Ready when you are" He said.

Aqua nodded. She didn't expect him to have the car memorized just yet. First time inside of it after all. But perhaps by the end of the week he would know it well enough to drive a few shifts. After he was buckled she started the car and started driving. As they went she would quiz him on their location. It beat being meter maids for the day.
"Where are we now?" She asked.

He looked out the window, keeping an eye out for street signs and identifying the areas they passed. When she asked he looked and closed his eyes for a quick moment to remember the road. "Magnolia Road?" He asked, pretty sure he was right.

"That's right." Aqua confirmed. "Guess you're pretty good at this."
They were an hour into the patrol. The ride had been quiet aside from Aqua quizzing him on the location. She was about to ask again as they went somewhere else but the radio crackled. Someone reported a drunk man stumbling down the street not far off from where Aqua and Riku were. She glanced over at her partner before grabbing the radio and hitting the talk button.
"This is Officers Malone and Nob-Lafayette." she said quickly. "We're in route. Riku, mind getting the lights? It's going to be your first arrest."
She hung up the radio. She had quickly corrected her mistake, almost saying her ex-partner's name and not Riku's. She had only hoped he wouldn't notice.

"I know my way around this city" He said with a slight shrug. He had spent many nights driving with friends around this city, and he had taken the time to memorize the city around him. He felt he knew practically every nook and cranny. Riku straightened up when they got a report of a drunk man not far from where they were and he bit his lip to hide his excited grin and turned on the lights. He was so excited he didn't notice her slip-up and it went unchallenged.

Aqua bit her lip to hide her smile. It wasn't anything large or something to brag about later as his first case, but it was still special nevertheless. She just focused on driving safely. And the report was right. The drunken man wasn't too far from their position. It seemed he had stumbled into the road and was harassing cars that tried to edge past him. Aqua parked the car off to the side and hastily unbuttoned her seat belt.
"Better get him over here before someone gets hurt." she said. "Ready?"

Riku sat bolt upright in the seat, waiting for them to get to where the drunken man was. Maybe it wasn't the most glamorous first case but it was his first case and he was happy with it and excited for it. When they got to where they needed to be Riku unbuckled his seat belt and nodded to Aqua. "Let's make sure everyone stays safe" He said, hand already on the door handle. He couldn't wait to get out and do some actual police work!

"Your lead," Aqua said.
She gave him a reassuring smile before before getting out of the car. She had confidence that Riku could handle this one on his own, but she would be nearby in case something took a turn, like the man had a weapon or he was excessively violent. She also wanted to see how her partner acted when making an arrest. Acting with her was one way but if he turned violent or malicious to his collars, Aqua would write him up so fast the paper would have burn marks. She wasn't going to let Riku slip down the path her partner did.
Their drunk was trying to shout at the driver of a car. There was a woman inside and tell tale signs of a car seat in the back. The woman looked rather edgy, like she was two seconds away from pushing the petal to the medal to get her kid out of there. Not that Aqua blamed her. She would be concerned about her child's safety too.

"Okay" Riku felt very nervous suddenly but he was ready. He got out of the car and with a hand hovering near his sword sheath, as he had strapped that on as well as put on his gun holster. He just felt more comfortable using his sword right now, plus he doubted he would have to get his sword or gun out. He doubted the man would get too violent. Riku stepped cautiously towards the drunk man. "Sir, step away from the woman in the vehicle" He ordered sternly, calmly and with authority. No need to get violent or cruel. He took a calming breath and stepped closer to the man. "Sir, you are causing a scene. Please come with us quietly"

The drunken man stumbled back from the car, enough so that the mother in the car got past the drunkard. The man stared at Riku, eyes crossed in confusion. Aqua frowned. She knew this man. He was a repeat offender. Life had him down hard and every time something went right, something equally horrible happened. She sighed as she realized this would be another call to his wife, who would post bail because she 'loved' him. Aqua personally thought the woman was better off without the vicious cycle but it wasn't her place.
"You don't know nothin'!" the man slurred.

Riku took a deep breath, glad the woman had managed to get the car away from the drunken man. "Maybe I don't know anything" He conceded calmly, "But you still need to come with me sir. You are being a danger to yourself and others" He slowly moved his hand from his sword to where the handcuffs were and gripped them. He motioned towards the man. "You won't be hurt if you come with me" He said slowly and clearly. "Please step out of the road and come towards me"

Aqua stepped up, but she didn't do much more than that. The man was probably going to fight them on it. it wasn't how she would have done it but again she was letting Riku take lead. Threatening someone with harm for not complying was not something Aqua particularly liked but she would talk to Riku about that later. She just bit her lip, watching the two, biting her lip in worry.
"You gunna make me, pretty boy?" the man taunted.

That wasn't what he meant. But obviously both his partner and the man had taken his 'you won't be hurt if you come with me' for a threat and not 'you are going to be hit by a car if you don't move' Riku sighed in frustration. This wasn't how he had planned it to go. He smiled at the man as he straightened and played with the pouches on his belt. "I can knock you out without harming you" He said quite calmly. "I have special powders that make people verrry sleeepy. Come here please or wake up in a cell, it's your choice" Not that he intended to use his powders but he thought the threat would make the drunk comply.

Aqua folded her arms across her chest. She wasn't going to move. Neither Riku nor the drunk had come to an impasse yet. The ball was in Riku's court right now. The drunk wasn't going to comply based on the way that the drunken man shook his head quite deliberately, wildly shaking it and stumbling back a few steps as he did. Traffic had all but died, cars, waiting on either side of the road for the road block to be removed.

Riku sighed and began moving forward. This was not how he had imagined this going at all. Riku walked forwards to the man and pulled out his handcuffs. "We can make this easy or hard, your choice" He said calmly,staring into the man's eyes. "I don't want to hurt you. I want to take you somewhere safer than here"
