Bored Law Enforcement

Bored Law Enforcement (PMxii)

Out of one corner of his

eye, he saw the cop being

shown where the office was

by another employee.

He wondered for a moment

what he was doing there

and then he promptly put it

out of his mind.

Only to pop back in five

minutes later when he was

summoned to the office.

His mind raced as he made his

way down the aisle,

he could see the cop in the

office window,

had somebody died?

was somebody dying?

He thought of his mother who

had been ill for some time,

but why would they send the

police to tell him?

Sara introduced him to the cop

when he walked in,

he was grim, but he looked more inconvenienced

than anything else.

He noticed with great relief that

he had not reached for his gun

or handcuffs.

Officer Friendly quickly got to the

point.

Apparently he had threatened to

beat up Fonzie the week

previously.

He couldn't remember the incident

and it was not really in his

nature to threaten people with

a beating,

so he naturally denied it.

The cop was angry,

not at him, but at Fonzie

for wasting his time.

There was a lot of gang crime

in the area at that time

and the police were very busy.

They didn't have time to

keep an eye on rogue postal

workers threatening their

fellow employees.

He basically just told me to

behave and left it at that,

he left very quickly

his radio squawking about

a nearby accident.

As he walked back to his

desk he looked for Fonzie,

he saw him at the back

pretending to work and a smile

on his face.

Grinning from ear to ear.

He waited a second for Fonzie

to look up at him,

when he did,

he drew his fingers across his

neck,

universal symbol for

I'm going to fucking kill you.

He decided to take the rest of

the day off,

picking up his bag,

he walked out the back door.
