i figured it out! its like you said its in the living room in the afternoon a believe. Thanks! this was racking my mind for months
ya, I haven't played in a minute while I wait for updates to stack up... but I think the simplified path is event at apartments > event at gym > news event in living room in afternoon or evening > talk to Gypsy and do event that introduces cop > meet cop at police station at night and train with her... since you just figured it out, is that accurate?
