Jimmy had just completed the support mission and returned to the county police headquarters. He needed to write a report on the case. Although he could write it on-site or in the car, it was more comfortable to write at the police station. He was not in a rush nor was he on patrol.
It had been a week since James had left, and Tom's funeral must have been over, yet James still hadn't returned to work.
Although Jimmy really wanted to make a call and ask, he could only hold back since after all, James was their boss, and it was best not to disturb him at such a time.
Ten days after James left, he finally came to work.
Jimmy went to James's office as soon as he could.
Jimmy, "Chief James, was there a problem with your trip? Why was it delayed for so long?"
James, "Nothing major, I just took the opportunity to see a few old friends. Is there something you need, Jimmy?"
