Dexter growls, throwing the offensive file angrily on his desk, his expression causing the two agents from Internal Affairs to blanch. Agent Smathers, the shorter man with the gelled-back hair, steps forward trying to veil his intimidated state at the large, imposing man in front of him who looks like he might actually strike him. “As the file indicates, sir, there has been a report against Agent Pierce alleging he took a bribe to look the other way on more than one occasion.” “You need to be rechecking your sources because Pierce is one of my best agents, he has never and will never accept a bribe,” Dexter yells, using a very colorful expletive to describe exactly what he thinks of the report. “We are looking into all aspects of the allegation, sir, which is why Agent Johnson and I are here.” Agent Smathers hesitates before continuing, taking a precautionary step backwards, “Agent Pierce needs to be suspended from all duties until this investigation is concluded.”
