They drove around for a bit, responding to a few minor incidents, nothing to write home to mom about. Angela was beginning to wonder if she'd see any action while the weather stayed  this bad. Almost everyone had the good sense to stay indoors. Raia seemed quite frustrated too.<br/>"I'm sorry about this. Your time as a rookie cop should be spent learning valuable leasons for your future career. While a slow night is generally a good thing, I don't want you to be unprepared when your time as a rookie ends."<br/>He pulled in on an abandoned parking lot in front of an ugly concrete building. The doors and windows were boared up, the building seemed to be scheduled for demolition.<br/>"Let's do something usefull. We keep getting reports of squatters and druggies taking shelter in this building. While I appreciate their need to be out from the cold, this is not the place for them. Let's see what we find."<br/>He called their position in to dispatch and told them what they were planning to do. Then he and Angela exited the car, their flash lights at the ready.<br/>"See this?" Raia said. "The boards have been removed again." He pushed the door open, stepping into the darkness.
