Cash
I press my fingers into my eyes, wondering just how bad it could
actually be if I applied just a little more pressure. Surely, the compassionate
folks in our small town would give me a break then, right?
“No, Mr. Prichard. That’s not a good reason to call 911.”
“Listen here, Cash Tucker, I’m too old to take lip from you.”
I roll my lips between my teeth to keep from saying something that
will have the entire damn town talking for the next several weeks.
“All I’m saying is calling the non-emergency number about this is
probably better.”

“No one ever answers the non-emergency number.” Mr. Pritchard
huffs. “Margie is missing. That’s an emergency.”
“Margie always comes back home or someone spots her and posts in
the online group,” I remind him.
“I don’t think I like your tone.”

I take another deep, fortifying breath. “Calling 911 because your
peacock is missing isn’t appropriate. It ties up the county dispatcher. Now,
the non-emergency number to the office is—”
“She’s a peahen,” he corrects. “And I know the number, but that still
doesn’t negate the fact that she’s missing.”
“I’m sure your peahen will be back soon,” I assure him. “In the
meantime, why don’t you head down to Wooden It Be Nice and grab a roll
of chicken wire? If you cover the top of her run, she wouldn’t be able to
escape.”

“Don’t call me when you have an emergency.” He huffs before
hanging up.
The man has to know I’d never do that. If it were a true emergency,
I’d call the sheriff’s department.
Lindell hasn’t had a police force for very long, but as the towndesignated chief, I field a lot of ridiculousness. I wish I could say the calls
from Bobby John Prichard are few and far between, but Margie sneaking
out is a regular occurrence.

I guess I should be glad that nothing more serious is happening in
town, but I’m catching shit from the county about the 911 calls. Although
there are days I wish they’d charge Mr. Prichard for misuse of the
emergency system they have in place the way they’ve threatened to, I know
I’d never hear the end of it if they did.

Because it’s easy to copy and paste the note I’m required to make
about the phone call, I feel a little better about how far behind I am on
paperwork. That is until I look at the spiral notebook sitting beside the
phone. When I went to college and got a degree in criminal justice, before
going through the police academy, I pictured myself fighting crime and
putting half a dozen bad guys in jail every day.

Maybe that would’ve been
the case if I’d stayed in Houston where I did my internship, but here in
Lindell, Texas, my day usually consists of calls just like the one that just
ended. There are occasions when Mike Hodson, the sheriff, needs help out
on the highway or there’s a call just right outside of my jurisdiction.
