After the interview, the push of the bustling crowd, the cameras, the microphones, the well-meaning handshakes, and congratulatory speeches, Eddie was exhausted. The Chief had given both him and Vinnie some time off after their grueling experience so they could get some rest before the next round of undercover assignments came up, and managed to help them slip away.

It happened when he joined the NYPD, and he began his undercover assignments. He went from being an Average Joe with nothing more on his mind than what to have for dinner, to the hard-nosed cop who changed his persona like the average man changed his clothes.
