You'll stay in the surveillance vehicle and assist McNab. Any arguments from you, Detective? she said, looking at McNab.No. No, sir, Lieutenant. He patted Peabody on the back. You okay, honey?No honeys! Eve pulled at her hair. There are no honeys on an op, for sweet Christ's sake. Keep it up, just keep it up, and I'm having one of you transferred to Queens.
In this excerpt from "Purity in Death" by J.D. Robb, Lieutenant Eve Dallas is addressing Detective McNab and his partner, Peabody, regarding their roles in an operation. Eve firmly asserts that Peabody will remain in the surveillance vehicle to assist McNab. When McNab affectionately refers to Peabody as "honey," Eve immediately reprimands him, emphasizing that personal terms have no place in a professional setting, especially during an op. She insists that they maintain focus and professionalism.
As Eve expresses her frustration, she makes it clear that she will not tolerate any distractions or informalities within the operation. Her commitment to keeping the team focused is evident when she threatens to transfer one of them to Queens if their antics continue. This interaction highlights Eve's dedication to her work and her no-nonsense approach to leadership in high-pressure situations.
