Well, lets do this - you and I will work together because there are a good handful of cops that need something to do and you being one guy and planning the show is out because I'm so dominate it hurts. So we can talk about our plans and you've of course got creative license like we all do, but step on my toes and Lauren will step on your dick. :) Good times!! Nice to meet you, btw.
I never intended to boss any of your officers around, if that's the image you were getting. To clarify, I meant that Edwin is really there due to the fact that he believes taking down the Jagielski family will ultimately result in the advancement of his career within the ATF Agency. Edwin is thus determined to ensure he's the one to bring the gang down, or his time there is a waste, in his eyes anyway. When I said working independently, I meant simply that the ATF are likely to be performing different work than perhaps that compared to those specifically in the Major Crimes Unit. The two will still be co-operating and working together since they ultimately want to achieve the same thing, and Edwin isn't going to be bossing anybody in the MCU around.
(Though I would add Edwin, as stated earlier, is only concerned about advancing his career and making sure he gets the credit.)Hell, I'm confusing myself just writing this! To save my waffling, yes, I understand what you mean. Again to save my waffling, when I say Edwin may be performing different work at points, he's going to be making deals that he may not initially tell the local authorities of, if he believes it will ensure he gets the credit for taking the gang down. That sorta' thing.
