Ashdown Police Department was not large, not like Boston or other metropolitan cities, but it was not small either. Still, Jeremiah prided himself on knowing the people that worked that and having interviewed or spoken with almost all of them.
Though sometimes his interviewing could get a little rigorous but that was because Ashdown had an unprecedented magic population which mean that the people who worked had to be able to handle that.
He certainly did not hope he was wrong about his instincts in regard to a certain employee.
It was why, not long after lunch, the Chief of Police was making his way through the small collection of desks that belonged to those that weren't actually detectives.
"Officer Bliskiss," he said in a polite voice, head tilting slightly, his British accent always evident even after all the years not in England, "I hope you won't mind if I steal you away for a moment?"

The fact that Ashdown Police Department was on the relatively small side of what she'd been used to was actually something Fox enjoyed. It meant that after a week she'd pointedly gotten everybody's name down and was about three-fourths of the way through figuring out coffee orders between answering calls, redirecting calls, and radioing out dispatch instructions. Definitely easier to nail names down when you had to tell people where an incident had been called in from.
Fox had been wrapping up some paperwork at her desk between bites of a BLT when she'd heard her name and looked up attentively. She took a minute to swallow, nodding. "Of course, Chief. It won't be a problem at all," she smiled brightly, wrapping up the other half of her sandwich and placing it where it wouldn't try to ooze all over anything important (because tomatoes in any sandwich tried to do that, sigh).
"Lead the way," part of her was nervous. Being called into the big man's office was stressful in any job, but she didn't feel she'd been slacking in any way so she swallowed that feeling down. Positive thoughts, positive thoughts.

It would turn out that the Chief of Police did not drink coffee. The only hot beverage the Chief of Police was found drinking was tea (no sugar, a touch of cream to barely lighten it) and, seemingly, had no issue drinking it immediately while it appeared to be piping hot.
Jeremiah's shoulders rolled out of reflex, as if he was perpetually trying to ease an ache in them, before they settled back into the same posture they were in before. Despite the fact that he was Chief of Police, he held his office door open for her to come inside and sit down. Besides his desk, which was actually quite organized and barely had any paperwork on it (everything was in the OUT bin; Jeremiah was known for being ridiculously efficient and quick at getting paperwork handled among other things), there was a black couch immediately to the left of the door and shelving that ran the length of the wall behind his desk with a window separating it).
"Have a seat, Officer Bliskiss, and relax." As most were naturally nervous. "I am simply wanting to check in with you and see how you're adjusting." His hand flicked towards one of the two chairs in front of his desk before he went to sit down himself.
