Right now Quote by Laura Griffin
““You agreed not to bug me.” “That’s not why I’m calling. This is something else.” Silence. “Work related,” he added. “I’m at a crime scene and I could really use a hand.” “Let me guess. It’s related to your all-important murder case? And I need to drop everything I’m doing and get there right now, this minute, and it can’t wait till morning?” “You guessed right.” •””

But it was usually minor…” quote by Ralph Sarchie](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d7b/ralph-sarchie-28977_call-me_they-nypd-tell-you-how-you-can-act-and-w_1505931.jpg)
