Hmm... right now, I'm wondering just how long ago my character's partner killed himself.  Before or after Mel made Detective?<br/><br/>If it happened after Mel made Detective, then she'd remember the old Andy.  The one who pretty much welcomed her into the department and didn't care about the family she came from.<br/><br/>Not sure what kind of connection Andy and Maxon would have.  I guess it depends on whether or not Andy's aware of Maxon's habit.<br/><br/>Oh hey, Cassidy was hired on by the department an year ago, right?  Maybe Andy was handling the case at the time and was the one who convinced the Department to give her a chance.
