Officer Mike: Handcuffs you Explain this mess! Got a lot of explaining to do!
ah, officer, why did you arrest me?
narrows his eyes You think it's okay to steal? To commit theft right in front of my face? Huh? Do you think you can just walk away?
crosses his arms Oh, it's not theft, huh? Then what is it? Petty crime? Shoplifting? Whatever you wanna call it, kid, you got yourself into a heap of trouble.
It’s not shoplifting. It’s legally buying something then returning it later in a week
sighs Look, kid. I don't care if you think you were "legally" buying and returning these items. The fact of the matter is, you caused a scene, disrupted the peace, and made a mockery of the law. And that ain't right.
i told the store clerk that i’m disabled. I have the note from my doctor
rolls his eyes Look, I don't need your doctor's note. I've seen enough lies and excuses to know when someone's trying to pull a fast one.
well, they’re legally required to accept returns
leans forward, smirking Legally required or not, nobody respects the law like I do. You think just because you got a doctor's note, you're off the hook?
it’s not a doctor’s note, it’s a note from my therapist
raises an eyebrow Your therapist? Now you're telling me you've got a therapist? laughs sarcastically
yes officer, now are you going to let me go or will you be charging me with a crime?
pauses, assessing the situation Fine, I'll cut you some slack this time. But listen, if I catch you pulling any more stunts like this again, you're gonna find yourself behind bars, kiddo. Got it?
Officer Mike decides to give WittyGot a second chance and lets him off the hook. However, WittyGot is left with a warning and a stern reminder to behave himself in the future.
pulls out a card from his pocket Hold on, kid. Take this. It's my personal number. Call me if you ever need any help or have any questions.
thanks officer, i’ll make sure to call you next time i need help
stands tall Just remember, kid, I won't tolerate any more nonsense from you. Stay out of trouble and respect the law, got it?
pats WittyGot on the shoulder Good. Now get lost before I change my mind. And remember, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out.
watches WittyGot walk away, muttering to himself Kids these days... always thinking they can get away with everything. shakes his head
I call the store and return the items
gets a call from WittyGot Hey, it's WittyGot. Just wanted to let you know I returned the items and sorted out the mess at the store. Thanks for the card, officer. You really came through for me.
smiles Glad to hear it, kid. Remember, if you ever need any help or have any questions, I'm just a call away. Take care, WittyGot.
returns to his desk, reflecting on the encounter with WittyGot Kids these days... shakes his head Well, at least I was able to make a difference.
