As the morning briefing came to an end, Captain Holt looked at Jake Peralta, briskly snapping “Peralta. Any progress on the serial kneecap shooter case?”
“Not yet,” Peralta said, “except that instead of ‘kneecap shooter,’ I was thinking of calling him the shin exploder.”
“Shin exploder,” Holt said, tapping his chin thoughtfully. “But he doesn’t injure their shins, and he doesn’t make them explode. He shoots them in the kneecaps, and so he should be called the kneecap shooter.”
“But ‘shin exploder’ sounds so much cooler!” Peralta protested. “You’re taking the coolest case I’ve ever had and making it boring!”
