The sun beat down mercilessly on Drew Bradford’s head. It was January
and summer was well under way in Bunya Junction, and while Drew was
used to the hot weather in some respects, in other aspects he wasn’t.
He lifted his hat and wiped his sweaty brow. He would love to quench
his thirst with an ice-cold beer, but as the town’s only police officer he only
indulged in alcoholic beverages once a year or on special occasions—if he
was lucky.
The last time he’d had any time off work—well, it was so long ago he
couldn’t even remember.
He loved his hometown of Bunya Junction, but he was tired. Tired of
being the only cop. Tired of not having a life outside of work. Tired of
being alone.
Perhaps it was time to throw in the towel and go back to the city. At
least there he would have time off. Backup. And a life. A life that might not
be his first choice, but it had to be better than the one he currently had.
Drew pulled up his thoughts as he walked to his patrol car, after a
fruitless search for Dottie Blackston’s cat. Searching for that feline had
become an almost weekly task. Nine times out of ten the cat would turn up
on his own. He had hiding spots that Drew had yet to uncover. He fired off
a quick text to let her know he hadn’t spotted her darling boy, only to
receive one back stating that the cat was curled up on her lap.
Of course it was.
He shook his head as he started the car. His life wasn’t that bad. He was
his own boss. He didn’t have to answer to a superior who wouldn’t listen to
him or take him seriously when he had points he wanted to get across—as
had happened when he was a rookie in the city.
Yeah, that was a reason not to return to the city. Along with all the
people.
The traffic.
The endless noise.
All the reasons why he’d left the city and returned home in the first
place.
Plus, he didn’t want to leave Bunya Junction without a police presence.
Not that the town was a hotbed of criminal activity, but if anything did
happen the wait for an officer to come from the next largest town was too
long for the citizens. By the time help arrived it might be too late.
He’d also been working with the outlying communities and had built up
a good relationship with them. He enjoyed spending time getting to know
them. Earning their trust and helping when they needed it.
No, as much as he was lonely and didn’t have that much free time, he
couldn’t see himself back in the city. Yet the idea wouldn’t totally leave
him.
Maybe he should try and see if he could lure another police officer out
to Bunya Junction. He hadn’t had much luck in the past, but perhaps this
time would be different. He would feel better if he knew he could make a
move and know that Bunya still had an officer looking after them.
