Officer Friendly

By D. E. Harrison

Jones left his home state after the Navy Seals looking for police work. He lands in Seattle wanting SWAT but takes a patrolman’s job. He is waiting for a SWAT position to open. He gets into a shootout that saved many senior officers with another junior patrolman by the name of Rage, a female officer. They both were given awards for their actions.
A drug bust goes bad, and the Lieutenant refuses to fire on the building. Jones takes up a firing position and waits. Those in the buildings have the police in a cross fire and begin firing. Jones holds the shooters at bay for a time. The drug dealers run a poorly set up road block and escape. The Lieutenant will survive his gun shot.
His time as Officer Friendly’s helper has him free an innocent man.
Shadowing car thefts to their location showed Jones’ ability to think on his feet.
He is given an open requisition to buy new clothes, shoulder holster and work in the Dispatch Center to improve it.
He takes vacation and his cousins back home bring a few jugs of moon shine. This is the reason he stayed away from local policing in his state.

Chapter 1 Jones’ Vacation

Patrolman Jones has been on the police force for three years. He has saved enough money and time off for a three-week’s vacation. This means he is going back to the hills of Tennessee. He was back home after his last tour as a Navy Seal. From there he had job offers from three local police forces in his home state.

He thinks, ‘if I stay here, even up state I might run into some of my kin making moonshine. It would be best if I went far enough away to make sure nothing like that ever happens. I see Seattle has a call for a patrolman, I will go there in person.’

After the paper work in Seattle, a preliminary interview is held to reduce the field down to something workable.

Have a chair Mr. Jones. I see you are ex-special forces. May I ask which one?

Navy Seal, sir.

The interviewer expected more but gets nothing more.

He asks, Mr. Jones, what did you do as a Navy Seal?

The interviewer was smart enough to use the title Mr. Jones used.

As ordered sir.

Jones knows the person is fishing but it was not going to make any difference.

He asks again but very plainly this time, Mr. Jones could you be more specific?

Mr. Jones is still like a 2 by 4 in the chair.

He response, Sir, I doubt you have the security to discuss my former duties with you. It suffices to say they were successful, or I would not be here.

After several more mundane questions.

Jones is told. You will be called for the job interview tomorrow to set the time. Thank you for coming.

The handshake was again firm, confident.

The interviewer hands Jones’ folder to the secretary, Put him in the interview pile.

In two days, Jones is called back for the job interview. In the room are two Captains and the Major of the patrol section. Jones has been with Naval brass with more gold on them than a dancer in Vegas. He is not too impressed by the three
