Ubiquitous
"Ubiquitous," Inspector Bajak said.
"Everywhere?" Chief Inspector Bronikowski said.
"Yes ma'am," Bajek said. She hoped she'd hidden the slight curl of her lips. She was unsure if Bronikowski had asked the question for confirmation or because she didn't know the meaning of the word. She took one hand from behind her back and rubbed her right eye.
"What's your next move?"
"Ma'am?"
"This has been your operation. You've been gathering intelligence for nearly two months. Don't you want to see this through?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Then take an armed team and make the arrest."
Bajek left the Chief Inspector's office to be met by Inspector Munet. He smiled a small smile as he looked at Bajek. As they crossed the precinct they kept the conversation to business.
"Well," Munet asked once they were in the small anteroom.
"Inconclusive," Bajak said, "don't know if she didn't know know the word or just couldn't believe the size of the operation."
"We'll I'll bet she didn't know the word," Munet said, "here you go," he handed Bajek a £5 note, "so what's my word?"
"Inconclusive," Bajek said.
