Roy didn't in the least bit look surprised at the visitor, he'd been expecting this sooner or later. He scrawled his signature underneath the report and placed it in his outbox before he looked up.

"Mayor Summers," he said with a nod, motioning to the seat in front of him.

Roy leaned back in his chair, measuring up the man in front of him and suddenly he was aware of two things. One that he'd grown entirely too used to not having anyone to report back to. Even up North, there hadn't been a direct superior officer interfering with his daily job. At Fandom, neither of the previous mayor's had really seemed to care about the security of the island.

The change might not be a bad one, but he still didn't exactly understand how Cable got into the position. Still, he was aware of the mayor's position in regards to the police forces.

"We keep the patrol roster posted in the meeting room," Roy said after a pause, his voice polite and showing no trace of hostility as he spoke to Cable. It was a tone he'd perfected for years. "Unless there's anything suspicious going on or there's an event on the island, it doesn't change from that. Since the island's expansion, we've been stretched thin. More so than we were before," he said wryly.

"Get more men?" Roy suggested, shaking his head. "We don't need to worry about the school. They have their own security forces and while communication is a must, it means they can stand their own during an invasion."

"There's three hot spots right now; the causeway, the docks and the new port. Logically, they're the three positions that need more attention. Fandom isn't logical however. Invasions can come from any side and more often than not, they're from places we didn't even know existed. They're not easy to predict." And the one person who would be able to warn him something was coming was gone and had become a danger of her own.

"I'll do what I can," he said. "I know I prefer to go on patrol to filling in the paperwork, but my men are all pulling over hours as it is. A new outpost isn't a bad idea, but I worry that it would simply stretch us out too much already. An outpost to keep a small patrol always on site isn't a bad idea, however. I've been trying to keep a patrol in that area at all times to increase response rate."

Roy nodded. "We've worked together with school security during a crisis before and it's been rather effective. Constable Fraser does a good job at the school, though I don't envy his having to herd students."
