I'm sorry, I'm cackling way too madly over this snippet, I have to share:

“I knew you’d understand.” “Sir, I have a whole department to run.” “It’s really just one more sergeant to mentor, isn’t it? I’m sure Jamie would appreciate the opportunity to be under you…” Ben’s brain feels rather like someone just threw a brass band down several flights of stairs. “…and I’m sure you’d have a lot to teach him.” Oh, God, do not go there, do not go there at work, do not go there in front of his personal nemesis the Chief Super.

Ben Jones is having, shall we say, not the best of days.

#lincoln writes stuff #in case anyone's wondering why a Chief Superintendent is calling a sergeant by his first name #well you see that is part of John Cotton's particular charm #and by 'charm' I mean picture that boss you hate who's watched too many TED Talks on fostering workplace harmony #he has been making Jones' life a living hell since Days of Misrule and he has not gotten better with age #Jones spending his entire life watching people get gruesomely murdered around him: God I have seen what you have done for others...#...please do the same unto my boss's boss's boss amen
