Case #14: Strung Out in Heaven's High, Hitting an All-Time Low

[Video]
[Sam sits on a bar stool contemplating a mostly empty glass of foaming beer. Resting beside him on the bar is a box with a scant few items from the workplace.. the kind of box you'd have if you lost your job, which is exactly what seems to have happened.

He takes one last big swig of the amber colored liquid and fumbles for his wallet to pay

Y' could just open a tab afore you go and earn a bit a' money tae keep you in beer.

[feellikejumping]

Now there's a plan. Worth trying for anyway.

[loonyandproud]

Are you the policeman who thinks Nathan's a paedo?

[feellikejumping]

Suspected 'paedo'.

[loonyandproud]

Aye, well, he isnae.

[feellikejumping]

And you are...?

[loonyandproud]

Campbell Bain. I know him and I can vouch for his character.

[feellikejumping]

Yeah well, you'll have to take that up with the new Head of Intel. I was let go...

[loonyandproud]

Aaaye, but I dunno if the new Head thinks Nathan's a paedo and you DO. So I'm talkin' t' YOU.

[feellikejumping]

Look. It doesn't matter. None of it's real anyway.

[loonyandproud]

Aye, maybe not. That doesnae mean it doesnae matter. It's all y' GOT right now.

[feellikejumping]

And what am I supposed to do without my 'work' to keep me busy?

[loonyandproud]

Get your job back. Make them see they can't manage wi'out you. Y' just left and gave up straight away!

[feellikejumping]

... I was let go. Fired. Relieved of my duties. I think they've made up their minds.

[loonyandproud]

Aye, I heard that part! I've also noticed the police here are rubbish. They'd probably hire me if I came and asked. They cannae afford t' lose a real cop, even if he's from the 70s.

But think of the children, Sam! Just think of the fictional children.
