Kimble sat down at the bar in his usual spot. He let out a long sigh.

"I need a vacation"

The bartender looked sympathetically at him. Kimble was usually brimming with enthusiasm, but today in place of a guy bucking for promotion sat a defeated heap. The bartender fixed him a pint of booze and brought it over to him. He knew better than to expect exact change from Kimble.

"Make it a 10," Kimble groaned as he slid the money across the counter-top, which he stared at absent-minded.

"What's going on, big guy?"

Kimble stared at the mug of beer in his hand. "One of us is in DEEP trouble. I have been a cop for 12 years. I'm not a pervert!" He shouted to himself.

The bartender was concerned.

"This is a weekday. I don't know that you should be drinking at such an early hour, Detective."

"It doesn't matter. I have nothing else to do, and I have nowhere else to go." Kimble took another swig of the booze. All he could do was wait until the results of Riza William's inquiry into his recent behavior had come in.

Kimble remained there for the rest of the day, trading comments with the bartender. When it was evening, and Kimble had drunk himself into a coma, the bartender sent him home with a fellow officer in a taxi.
