Ali was shown to a desk which obviously belonged to another officer and told to read some magazines and brochures until the head of the department come to brief him.

She was also a bit shocked because Ali’s clothing looked crumpled and somehow he did not seem as smart as he had been during the interview. She walked over to Ali and said, “Good morning.
