((can you tell I have a favorite character right now? haha I'll try to make Jack eventually dw))

John was a good man. Even if he was constantly dead tired, and always smoking, and usually working himself to the bone, he was a good man. He tried to do what was best and made a conscious effort to be a good man. He didn't deserve what happened, nor did he deserve the workload being one of the only cops in this small town entailed. You had recently joined the force to share that load, over the 5 cops that were currently employed - Jack, John, you, and two other, more trigger-happy cops that probably weren't the best for the job. So right now, you sat with John in the mayor's office. Being yelled at. About a serial killer who escaped prison.

"Listen, Mayor Evermore," John started, "There's something weird going on in this town. There's a cult running around, and-" The mayor, the oh so considerate man he was, interrupted him by calling him crazy and the cult imaginary. It went something like this; "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR IMAGINARY CULT, JOHN!" "They burned down my house!" Of course, that did nothing to quell the mayor, and now every time you spoke up you were being mostly ignored. He was just yelling about the serial killer, and how you were both going to be replaced if he wasn't caught.
