John Brown awoke to a bright sunny day in Riverton. His niece Penny was already up and was feeding her dog Brain she had poured him a bowl of cereal. John came down into the kitchen. Penny you did'nt have to do that I could have gotten it. John said. But would you have remembered where the cereal box was Uncle John ? Penny asked giving her uncle a kiss on the cheek. It had been just the two of them since Penny's parents had died. Her mother had been John's sister and her father had been his best friend from Kansas. After they died in a car accident John became her legal guardian. John had long wanted to be a cop at the Riverton police department but had been frequently rejected for his seemingly lack of intelligence. He had become a forensic scientist instead but longed to become and officer and eventually a detective. He always felt so embarrassed around his niece for he wanted to be a good role model for her but Penny had always told him it's not the badge it's the heart behind it. John finished his breakfast and grabbed his suitcase and headed for the door. I'll be home later tonight Penny just make sure you don't stay out late there could be all kinds danger out there. I heard the department are even trying to catch burglar that's a cat. He said as he headed out the door. Okay Uncle John. Penny laughed
