First the Captain chewed his ass out for being 1.3 minutes late and of course the day went downhill from there.

As punishment they’d made him walk the beat instead of riding in his nice hover cruiser. In the rain. And of course today was the day that he discovered his rain coat leaked.

Fluffy wanted the special triple cream variety which the place downstairs didn’t carry. He was going to have to make the trip down to the corner store.
