The man tried to shove past Riku but he stumbled and fell flat on his face on the pavement. Aqua's expression fell, At least they didn't have to add assault of an officer to his list of charges, just the drunken disorderly. Well, that wrapped up that. Riku could easily cuff him now. The man tried to get back up.

Riku quickly got out his cuffs and cuffed the man before he could get up. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney and if you cannot afford an attorney one will be provided for you without cost to yourself to represent you before and during the questioning" Riku recited, excited he actually got to say that. Maybe one day it would get annoying but now it was just cool. He hoisted up the man and led him to the car, stopping before Aqua. "Did I do okay or did I screw up?"

Aqua opened the back of their squad car. She put the man inside before shutting the door in his face. Neither of them wanted to deal with the man if he tried to escape from Riku's hold. Luckily traffic was flowing again, slowly but surely.
"Just... What you said, about him not getting hurt. You have to be careful about what you say. If he were sober, he could tell a lawyer you threatened him, even though you didn't mean it like that. It wouldn't look good for you," Aqua said kindly.
Police officers had to avoid roughing up or threatening suspects, even if Aqua sometimes really thought think they deserved it. In a bigger case, like murder, they could sway a jury to their side if the officers weren't careful. But she smiled at Riku. He did fine.
"Let's get him in," she told him before smirking at him. Now he got to do one of the least enjoyable parts of the job. "Now you get to do the paperwork for arrest!"

He rubbed the back of his head. "I realize this now and I'll do better in the future" He told her sheepishly. He had just been trying to get the guy out of the street, he hadn't intended for his words to be twisted around like that. He smiled back when she smiled at him and got into the car. He felt a lot better but he still felt he could do better in the future. Riku rolled his eyes and grinned. "That's totally why you had me make the arrest, isn't it?" He asked teasingly. "So I could do paperwork"

"Ha! Yeah right! I have to write a report about your first day in the field and then I have to make my own report about the arrest from my perspective!" Aqua replied with a laugh. She slid into the car and turned the car back on, turning the lights off since they had finished with the emergency. "But if we get there quick enough, he'll be the problem of the guys down at booking and we can make our escape!"

Riku laughed and nodded. "Okay, okay, point taken" He put his seatbelt on. Maybe if they got done quick enough he could grab Aqua a celebratory drink or something. Just to say thank you .He liked showing his appreciation to people he felt deserved it.

Aqua drove back to the precinct. She stopped in the parking lot outside of the front doors so they didn't take their drunkard in through the garage. After they unloaded him onto the booking department, who didn't look any happier to have him than they were to have arrested him.
"So..." Aqua said after they got back to their desks, feeling rather sheepish. "Are you busy tonight? After we finish work I mean..."

"I was just about to ask you the same thing" He said, smiling. "Do you want to go with me and get a drink? We can celebrate a successful arrest, or something" He shrugged. "We can always toast to a hopefully long career or...eh. Let's just celebrate a successful arrest" He laughed. "After paperwork of course. Maybe we can catch some of the Bilge Rats performance. I love a couple of their songs"

"Actually," Aqua said. "There's this diner me and my partner... My last partner used to go to all the time. If you want, we could... Never mind! Your idea is good too. You know what, forget I mentioned it. We'll go to the bar."
She started to ramble when she realize how weird it sounded. She wanted to take her new partner somewhere her old partner used to take him and his partner before her. It sounded weird to her. She could only hope that Riku laughed it off. Seems she was just as bad of a partner in the beginning as her old partner. She quickly seated herself at her desk and pulled up the documents they needed to file on her computer, trying to avoid Riku's eyes and avoid her own embarrassment.

He hesitated and bit his lip. The diner sounded like a special place to her and he felt like a heel for assuming she had meant the bar. What if she didn't drink and was only being polite? Oh, man he was such a dum dum! "No, the diner sounds fine" He said hurriedly. "If it means so much to you we can go there. I don't mind, honest" He could always go to the bar later on his own.

Aqua looked up at him, trying her best to mask her surprise. Her typing had stopped mid-way, a dead giveaway of the shock to her system that he had agreed. She quickly recovered, flashing him one of her first sincere smiles. She didn't mind the bar. She just figured Omar didn't want to see her so soon since he was the lead singer of the Bilge Rats and she did just arrest him. She might have to warn Riku about that later.
"It'll be my treat." she said.

He nodded. It wasn't that he couldn't afford it, he could afford a meal for two at the swankiest place in town, but he figured it would be a moot point to argue with her on wanting to take his own bill. He sat down at his desk and pulled up the needed paperwork. "Let's get this done then so we can go" He said with a smile. He was honestly surprised that his acceptance had gotten a genuine smile out of her. This place must really be special to her.
