[edit] Career history
Originally sent to "assist" Brenda's team by Commander Taylor. Flynn was constantly antagonistic with Brenda at first, but after Commander Taylor hung him out to dry during an investigation he transferred to Brenda's team on a permanent basis and gained respect for her. He was recently forced further into her debt due to a foul-up he had with Lt. Provenza and was forced by Brenda to pay off the squad for helping keep him and Provenza out of the fire. Flynn and Provenza have been friends for a long time. Flynn was a member of Commander Taylor's Robbery/Homicide unit until he was "loaned out" to the Priority Homicide Division. Shortly after returning to the Robbery/Homicide team, Flynn requested a permanent transfer to the Priority Homicide Division.
[edit] Attitude
An influential man, Flynn has the ability to persuade the other detectives into taking his side on political matters. He prefers to take the easy way out when it comes to solving crimes, which leads to mistakes. Flynn is sometimes disloyal and often fails to keep his word. He has a hard time keeping secrets to himself, and he perpetually has a toothpick in his mouth.
[edit] Personal life
After then-Captain Taylor accused him of botching an old case, Flynn began to realize that his captain might not be so loyal after all. Angered by Taylor's finger pointing, Flynn decided that he wanted to permanently join Johnson's team after she defends him in the matter. Although he initially looked for ways to sabotage Dep. Chief Johnson, Flynn has a growing respect for her, and increasingly works with her, rather than against. He is close to Lt. Provenza. Was an alcoholic and a part of Alcoholics Anonymous. He has been sober for 10 years and now prefers to drink cranberry juice with soda.[1]
