Kang saw the trap he was falling into and trailed off into an embarrassed silence. He looked down at his hands as if he wanted to make certain that none of his fingers were missing.
“You didn’t mean to say foreigner at all, did you, Sergeant?”
Kang had hoped Tay would let it go. Clearly he wasn’t.

“Don’t worry about it, Sergeant,” the OC said after a few moments passed in an uncomfortable silence. “Go on downstairs and finish the interviews.”
Kang nodded and walked quickly away. The OC pushed himself off the wall.
“Fix this, Sam,” he said. “I’m depending on you.”
“Yes, sir. I’ll do my best.”
“Do better than that. Do whatever you have to. Just fucking fix it.”
