An Afternoon Coffee Break with Abigail Baker and Erin Reagan
Abigail Baker: You know, Erin, sometimes I wonder if my desk has a gravitational pull. The second I clear it, another stack of paperwork appears!
Erin Reagan: I can relate, Abigail. Legal briefs seem to multiply overnight on my desk at the DA’s office. Have you ever considered implementing a “paperwork-free” day?
Abigail Baker: Oh, that sounds like a dream. But in the commissioner’s office, a day without paperwork would probably feel like chaos. Speaking of, how’s it going with that new initiative you told me about?
Erin Reagan: The community outreach one? It’s picking up steam, although balancing it with court cases is challenging. At least I get to step out of the office more often. How about you? Any new developments at 1PP?
Abigail Baker: You know, it’s always something new, but nothing like your outreach endeavors. Just the usual wrangling of police reports and making sure the commissioner’s calendar doesn’t look like a game of Jenga.
Erin Reagan: That sounds like herding cats. Ever thought about taking some time off in the chaos?
Abigail Baker: I’ve considered it, but then I’d be worried I’d return to a mountain instead of a desk. Besides, who would keep Frank out of trouble if I’m not around?
Erin Reagan: Good point. He definitely needs you to keep him grounded. Speaking of grounded, are you still planning that hiking trip you mentioned a while back?
Abigail Baker: Absolutely! It’s my way to escape the city hustle, though sometimes I feel like I need a map to navigate the paperwork before I even get to the trails.
Erin Reagan: At least you’ll be prepared for any survival situation with the skills we honed working in this city!
Abigail Baker: True! If I can survive New York bureaucracy, I like to think I can handle anything the great outdoors throws at me.
Both women laugh, knowing full well the city and its demands are never truly escapable, but enjoying the camaraderie and a shared understanding of their unique roles in it.
