    Before acquiring a certain raven haired detective, the downtown GCPD was a busy little place, the kind of place that low end criminals sat in tiny cells and await with one another without having to deal with the nuts at Arkham. The weekend meant that cops officially had their hands full, and even if downtown GCPD was obscure and unknown, the swell of low end criminals brought to GCPD was enough to keep it running. The cells were small and old, and other than a decent view of the water, that was pretty much all it had going for it. The downtown GCPD was always dealing with something from the petty drunks to the common thieves.…

She had been walking confidently in the direction of her next class. Shortly finding herself at the main office, she quickly realised she was completely lost. Unable to spot a single face in the flocks of students flapping past down the corridor, and departed with no other choice, she mustered up the bravery to ask somebody for help.
