Sometimes, it didnâ??t pay to overachieve. Actually, it hardly ever did. Socially, at leastâ?¦Sure, having high credentials could get one a better job and salary, but was it worth being the object of abhorrence of your coworkers? Maybe. But did it really warrant to be sent away? It wasnâ??t his fault that the other officers chose not to do their job to their highest potentials. But he wasnâ??t a complainer, of course. Sure, he fought his best to avoid his transfer, but when the brass was so set on sending you away, itâ??s hard to resist. They even through a going away party, how precious. Sergeant James Saint didnâ??t have to graduate top in his class to recognize the glee on every officerâ??s face as they knew that theyâ??d be rid of the â??over achieving twatâ?? in a day. Joy.
The ride there was long and arduous. His personal possessions were few- all of his clothes in a single suitcase- but the constant changings of busses and metros grew to be a bother. But once again, James wasnâ??t a complainer. After all, he had a lovely hotel room to sleep in until his permanent residence was completed. They even would provide him with his own car as a welcoming gift. He doubted it would be anything fancy, but it was much appreciated.
Once he finally arrived at theâ?¦ well, rural was an understatementâ?¦ village, a visit to the pub was very much necessary. Although it was only nine at night, James was tired as hell and a nice, cold drink would be nice. James was greeted by a kind, elderly lady when he stepped out of the final bus- the town probably sent her to wait for him. She showed him to his car and gave him directions to the pub and the hotel- he tried to give her a tip, but she refused.
James threw his belongings into the trunk of the car before stepping inside and turning it on. It wasnâ??t long before he was driving through the streets on the way to get that wonderful, well-anticipated drink. And- oh, why now? The sergeant nearly smacked his forehead on the wheel in utter exasperation as he was passed by an obviously impaired driver. By the excessive speed, reckless turns, and constant swervingâ?¦ definitely inebriated. A low growl escaped his lips as his features hardened. He didnâ??t even have a siren or lights to signify his status- oh well, hopefully this place had an undercover cop every now and again. It took a little longer than usual, but James finally managed to pull the man over. He stepped out of his car, quite agitated. Oh, the things he did in the name of justiceâ?¦ putting aside his future cold drink when he didnâ??t even start work until the next morning.
The officer made his way over to the other car, heaving a heavy sigh and tapped on the window.
