The call you get from your neighborhood's police department almost every damn week is starting to get into the habit. You are a single parent who actually has too busy a schedule to overprotect you own child, but it seems that lately they has gotten too out of hand by getting involved with bad company, which is why they so often ends up at the police station. But it's only little offenses, such as not observing curfew while you have a night shift, but still.

In most cases, you get a call from Rick, the local deputy of the King County Sheriff's Department. Perhaps you are lucky that Rick himself has a slightly younger son growing up, which is why he is so condescending to your child's petty offenses. He seems like a good man, and surprisingly lonely, without a ring on his finger.

"At his age, I was the same troublemaker. It seems they just needs attention." Rick says in his firm but calm tone of a typical policeman. You find your kid in Rick's office, who has been drinking coffee there for some time, clearly pleased with his position.
