Ah Plinky... out to seperate the men from the boys... I'm probably a boy. However while I could yell chicken and run for the hills, or perhaps uncle would be more appropriate, I'll give it a shot.
"Tell a story with dialogue. Your characters: two cops in Alaska." I am going to beg forgiveness before I begin. I have written a total of 2 short stories in my memory and the latter of which was a year 9 english assignment... yes the LATTER... so this is going to get interesting. I am being a little lax on the exact context of a 'dialogue' but still... here goes...
'Alex! What the hell are you doing?' Georgie stared at her partner in disbelief. Or at least stared in his general direction. Alex was hidden within the hole he was digging and the mound of excavated dirt which suggested the hole was big enough to bury a body... of an elephant.
Alex made an indiscernible noise in response. He kept his head down. His concentration fixed on further widening the hole.
'Its too much to hope that you aren't burying something in this hole. You haven't dug holes for the sake of it in years.' With a grunt amidst his continued digging Alex indicated with a tilt of his head the mangled body mostly obscured by the large dirt mound.
'I tell you mate. ((woops australianism in an alaskan setting - stuff alaska)) You are a verifiable Dexter. I would hate to think what would happen if they caught you doing this stuff. I certainly don't know what I'd do without you.' Georgie forced Alex to look at her hoping to force him to feel remorse at his actions. That, however, was too much to ask for.
As she was about to get into the matter further the sound of their radio crackling to life interupted her train of thought as well as Alex's digging. At the sound he jumped cleanly out of the whole and started to hurry to drag the body into the hole. As Georgie listened to the incident and gave indication she would be on her way. Alex covered over the hole.
'I guess that will have to do Alex. Looks like we have some real bad guys to take care of.' Take his quick response as an ascent she walked over to the car sure he wouldn't be far behind. She opened the back of the car and without hesitation Alex jumped up and settled into his specialised K-9 cage.
