If we do, I want to be the bad cop. You're a lousy bad cop, Feeney. Face it. He gave her a mournful look. I outrank you, Dallas. I'm primary, and I'm better at bad cop. Live with it. I always have to be the good cop, he muttered as they stepped into a well-lighted hallway with more marble, more gilt.
In the scene from "Immortal in Death" by J.D. Robb, two characters, Dallas and Feeney, engage in a light-hearted exchange regarding their roles in an investigation. Feeney expresses a desire to be the 'bad cop,' but Dallas playfully criticizes his abilities in that role, hinting that he isn't convincing enough. The conversation underscores the dynamic between them, showcasing their camaraderie and differing approaches to law enforcement.
As they move through a lavishly decorated space, tension is replaced with humor, revealing their professional rapport despite the serious context of their investigation. Dallas, acknowledging her own role, feels the burden of always being the 'good cop' and expresses a hint of frustration. This interaction not only adds depth to their characters but also highlights the challenges they face in their work.
