But there's always tomorrow….

Munch sat at his desk, the light pooling over the files he was going over. Everyone else was gone. Olivia had a date, Elliot was visiting his kids, and even Dr.Huang left at midnight. This surprised Munch, because for some absurd reason he though Huang just lived at his office. Someone had to do the paperwork, and Fin, his ever reliable partner, mysteriously disappeared when Cragen asked for volunteers. Which left him.
Damn that Fin, Munch thought as he finished the last of the paperwork. He checked his watch. It was 2:00 am. Closing the file, he got up, his back muscles complaining all the way. I'm really too old for this job, Munch thought ruefully. But he knew he wouldn't quit, he never did.
As he passed Finns desk, he had a sudden flash of inspiration. Trying hard not to giggle, and looking very much like a schoolboy pulling a prank on his teacher, he fiddled with the knob at the bottom of the chair. Finns going to get a nasty surprise, Munch thought gleefully.
The next
day...
Fin walked into the precinct, four coffees precariously
perched on one hand and a box of donuts on the other. Why do I always
get stuck getting the coffee, he thought grumpily. And Munch was
looking especially happy today, which annoyed Fin even more. "What
the hell are you so happy about?" he demanded. Munch just
smirked" Ohhh, nothing." Giving Munch a glare Fin went to
sit down and...
The chair collapsed under him. Coffee spilled all
over him and donuts went flying. When he came up he was quite the
spectacle, with a coffee cup on his head and donuts and coffee all
over him. Munch was at the door, his shoulders shaking in silent
laughter. "JOHN!" Fin roared as he charged at Munch. But
he slipped on coffee and fell flat on his face, much to the delight
of Munch and the other detectives. Even Huang started cracking up,
until a glare from Finn silenced him. By the time Fin got up Munch
was gone, his laughter still echoing in the hall.
Damn that Munch, Fin thought. He may have gotten me today, but there was always tomorrow...
