Eddie Janko casually walked down the street to the Supermarket. It was a nice spring day. It had finally stopped raining in New York City. The month of April so far had been rain. Now, it was sunny out, and Eddie thought it would be a good idea to get some fresh air. She had the day off, and needed to pick up food for dinner with Jamie later tonight.
When Eddie arrived at the store, she grabbed a basket, and made her way over to the pasta aisle. As she walked into the aisle, she saw one of her fellow officers; Officer Michael Promuse. He had a shopping cart, and a boy of about seven or eight was walking beside him. Alarms went off in her head as she studied the boy. A bad feeling started growing in the pit of her stomach.
"Hey, Promuse," Eddie called out.
Promuse looked up from the Alfredo sauce can he was reading. He looked shocked and angry for a split second, then he recovered, and plastered a smile on his face.
"Hey, Janko," Promuse responded. He started walking towards her.
"Whose this little guy?" Eddie asked smiling at the boy.
Promuse put his hand on the boy's shoulder which made the boy tense, and Eddie's stomach flip. "This is my son, Ryan," Promuse said. "Ryan, this is Officer Janko. I work with her."
"Ni-nice to meet...meet you," Ryan stuttered.
Eddie looked at Ryan, and put on a fake smile. She was trying not to give herself away. "Nice to meet you, too, Ryan. What happened to your arm?" she added. Ryan's left arm had a bright, green, hard cast with signatures all over it.
Promuse quickly responded. "He was hit with a baseball bat at practice one day, and now he knows not to stand behind someone swinging a bat, right, son?" He gave Ryan's shoulder a squeeze.
Ryan grimaced. "Yes, Dad."
Eddie tried not to grimace at Ryan's grimace or punch Promuse in the face. "How long has it been on?" Eddie asked.
"Three weeks," Promuse quickly replied again. He seemed to be uncomfortable now.
"Is the black eye also from baseball?" Eddie questioned. A black and blue ring circled Ryan's right eye.
Promuse narrowed his eyes. "Yes," he said harshly. "Ryan's team mates don't know how to aim. One of them passed a ball to him, and it hit him in the face."
Eddie nodded, and looked Ryan up and down, trying to find anymore injuries. Promuse narrowed his eyes even more. "We have to go. I have to drop Ryan off at home before I go in for tour. See you later, Janko."
"Yep," Eddie agreed.
"Bye, Officer Janko," Ryan said with pleading eyes.
Eddie kept her face blank as she responded. "Bye, Ryan."
With that Ryan and Promuse left. Eddie continued her shopping and all the while she thought about Ryan's pleading eyes. She felt terrible, because in that moment she couldn't help him. In that moment, she couldn't do her job.
